Summer traffic in Newport can be the worst. Uber and Lyft are recommended for evenings out downtown. Once you`re downtown, don`t forget that a pedicab is usually a great option to get around that area. Make sure to carry cash because they operate on tips only.

My friend group had an amazing stay at #TheFlightdeck! Edward was fast to communicate, super accommodating, and had the house completely stocked with all the essentials we needed to enjoy our time together. :)
Our stay at Flight Deck was truly enjoyable. Plenty of space for our family of 13. Our host was quick to respond to any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again. The yard was great for the little children to run around.
Everything was great. Edward was great as a host, easy to communicate with, and very accommodating. Property is lovely and conveniently located. Would highly recommend staying here if you're coming to Newport/Middletown!
We had such a wonderful stay at this home in Rhode Island! The house was spotless, well-maintained, and stocked with everything we needed — even toiletries, which was such a thoughtful touch. It truly felt like a home away from home. Edward was an amazing host, friendly, responsive, and made sure our stay was perfect from start to finish. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area and would happily stay here again!
Edward was a great host. House has great space for larger gatherings. Very close to Newport vineyards and a short drive to downtown Newport. Would stay here again!
The property was very clean, with cute little amenities. Owners were easily reachable from multiple modes of connection, and checked in frequently for any needs we may have had. Would recommend staying at this rental site!
Over Christmas, 15 members of our family spent a wonderful reunion at #TheFlightdeck, The open living space was perfect for all of us to socialize, sing, play games watch TV and eat!The house was clean and well equipped.Edward was a great host. When the microwave stopped working, he arranged for one to be delivered the same day! He responded quickly to every question I had.We all highly recommend !
My family and I stayed at this home for a short 4 day get away, it was perfect! The property was very clean, accommodating and a great location, close to shopping, restaurants and beaches! The property owners were very pleasant and easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again!
Came for a wedding with a large group of family (11) - location was the only issue in that it was close to a small airport with small planes going overhead. Otherwise - as described and enough room for all the people. Kitchen and eating areas were very pleasant - did not use the outside but for families that could be a real plus.

Amy is totally right. Our house is next to the secondary runway for the in-town airport, Newport State Airport. We definitely want to be upfront about this. The airport is only open during daylight hours, so it won't affect anyone's sleeping. It is only used by small planes.
Great house & space, decorated beautifully. With nice yard area.

About the host
Hosted by Edward McPherson
I got my short term rental start in San Antonio where I first started using HomeAway to rent out my downtown riverwalk apartment. Along the way I met Claire.
Today, Claire and I are living the dream. I do nonprofit fundraising, and she does small business marketing and PR. We split our time spending the winter's in Albuquerque and the summers in Newport, RI.
We can't wait to share our amazing town with you, and we believe that it all starts with a great place to stay.
