This is a beautiful home with lots of charm! It is also in walking distance to some great restaurants, the beach, and the Cliff Walk. The hostess and host had great communication with me and I’m sure would’ve been just as good as communicating with them during our stay but we didn’t need to. It was so nice to have a kitchen stocked with all of the things you don’t necessarily want to buy while on vacation but need if you are preparing food at “home.” The house is also incredibly spacious with a separate apartment that was great for some of the people in our group to rest without others in the main house needing ro tip toe around. Lastly, the neighborhood is full of lovely rabbits and there are tall shrubs for privacy so it feels like your own private hideaway enjoying nature.

Family vacation

Every summer we rent a home for our family vacation, so we can all be together. We love Newport so decided to give Middletown a try. We had a great time. The house was very centrally located, near restaurants and the beach, and it was very clean and comfortable. It was also very child friendly as we have quite a few grandchildren. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating.

This home was perfect for our girls weekend (8 adults) in Newport!! The house is just as pictured. It is a 5 ish minute walk to first beach (Easton) , less than a mile to the start of the Cliff Walk. It’s a 5 min drive to downtown Newport. The owner is very responsive, and even checked in with us during our stay to make sure everything was good with our stay. I highly recommend this property!!!

the house was nice and suited our needs. The owners manual that the owner provided was more than helpful. The only request we wish we had was to have a cable tv in the living room as opposed to the bedroom.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 July 2025
John, We are happy to hear that the house worked out well for your group. On the TV, please note that the main living room TV is a Smart TV. We also pay for one of the highest cable channel levels, which is available on all 5 TV's at the house. Sometimes the HDMI setting is inadvertently changed to the wrong one and just has to be switched back using the remote. We always encourage our guests to let us know of any issues asap so we can help solve them immediately. Have a great summer and we hope to see you next year!

Fantastic house!

Hosts were exceptionally responsive; the house is very well-stocked, clean, and functional; and the location is perfect. Short walk to Middletown restaurants and First Beach, slightly longer walk to Second (suggest driving and parking to bring beach gear - ~15-20 minutes unloaded). Highly recommended!

Newport get away

I highly recommend this vacation rental to anyone looking to stay in Newport with a mid to large size group. We had three families of four that stayed. There was plenty of room. The location was excellent (a very short walk to the beach). The homeowners provided a ton of beach gear including coolers, chairs, umbrellas, toys and more. The house was clean, well-kept, and very well provisioned with kitchen essentials, movies, and more. The view from the top deck was awesome. We will definitely be booking this facility again.

About the host

Hosted by Sara and Lance Minor

Host profile image

My husband Lance and I are avid windsurfers. We love the charm of Newport, the wide sandy beaches, and the friendly community.

Why they chose this property

I have been in love with the Newport area for 20 years. My husband and I met windsurfing, and spent many a windy day on the shores of 3rd beach. We were engaged in Newport, and have spent all of our anniversaries there. Our dream was to eventually retire from the Boston area to this wonderful beaching and boating community! And we accomplished this recently and love it.

What makes this property unique

Your group can all stay together under one roof, but still have two separate living areas. The in law apt provides privacy for 2-5 members of your group, while still offering proximity to the main house. Two separate entrances from the landing inside the side garage door.
Unique and versatile set up!
