This historic home is in the center of Newport. Restaurants and stores are right across the street. First Beach is less than a mile walk in one direction while the Newport Wharves, with more restaurants, shops and night life are ½ of a mile in the other direction. You will be in the center of all that Newport has to offer while enjoying all of the amenities of a comfortable, well-stocked home that is professionally cleaned between guests.
Your home is adjacent to the home of your host, who is happy to help if there is anything you need. Yet you will have complete privacy, and the home to yourself.
Be aware that you are in the middle of a city that is bustling in the summertime. Normally, this location is fairly quiet, but there can be times when there is noise coming from the street. This historic home is on three levels and the stairways are narrow and steep, so this cannot be considered an accessible home. Additionally, the stairs onto the third-floor lead into the main third floor bedroom, and from there you will access the other two bedrooms on the third floor, meaning that those using the other two bedrooms will need to walk through the main third floor bedroom to get to their bedrooms. The third-floor bathroom is equally accessible to all three bedrooms on the third floor. Please make sure this is appropriate for you and your guests.
From May 1st to October 1st, we will provide two guest passes so that you can park your car(s) on the street in Newport. Often this means parking across the street from the house, but in the busier seasons you may need to look around for a spot. There is also nearby public parking available. From Oct 2nd to April 30th, guest passes are not required and anyone can park on the residential streets in Newport without a pass. It is vital that you return the guest pass to us and we will charge $125 if it is not returned.
Please note that there are residents living in the area and it is important that you are able to keep the noise to a minimum and otherwise respect the neighbors. Parties are not allowed that are larger than ten people. Smoking and vaping are strictly prohibited. If these rules are broken, you will be immediately evicted and charged a minimum fee of $250.
We are happy to have your pets as long as they are well behaved, do not mark the home in any way and are not on the furniture. There is an additional fee if you bring your pet. Please be sure to register your pet and pay the fee when booking. True service animals are welcome free of charge.
This is truly the most conveniently located spot in Newport. We are looking forward to hosting you!

Couldn’t be in a better location in Newport - close to everything! The house was clean, beds were comfy, and Chris was very responsive. Thanks for hosting, would love to stay again!
Our winter getaway to Newport was amazing! The home is cozy and a quick walk to downtown. We will absolutely visit again in the summer! A accommodations!
The house was perfect for our east coast girls trip! The host had everything set up well so check-in and check-out went smoothly. The location is great- walking distance from everything we wanted to see.

Thanks so much Cassandra! So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the nice review!
Charming house close to the marina. We were able to do and see everything we wanted to do.
House is nicely stocked in kitchen and bathrooms.
Would stay again if ever this far north again.
We had a great vacation in Newport for a moms getaway! This property fit all of our needs--the house was in a perfect location, historical with comfort and all of the charm, and the hosts were so accommodating! We want to make this an annual trip!
