Beautiful victorian w/ big garden, Tesla/EV charger, 2 blocks from water

Hello! I have a beautiful turn-of-the-century Victorian with a gorgeous huge walk-through garden, back patio and balcony. This is a fully legal registered short term rental (RE.03430-STR).

The second floor would be effectively all yours, and is quite large for a two bedroom*. The living room and dining room are separate, and there are even pocket-doors to close them off, in case you and your group are up to different things at the same time. It has a large eat-in kitchen and off-street parking too.

This place has tons of charm and character. It has great dark-stained wood trim throughout, with crown molding and other detail you just don't see anymore in houses built less than a hundred years ago. It has a huge old-school walk-in pantry full of classic built-ins, including a legitimate "ice-box" from before there was refrigeration! And yes, "character" is also code for "it has a few quirks" - if you're from, or have travelled in New England before, you know what this means, and it's better than most. If you'd like to know more about quirks, just ask!

Neighborhood features:
-- Two to three blocks away
• Narragansett Bay
• Swimming pier
• Beautiful park w/ magnificent sunsets
• Small beach with a little sand & rocks to climb around on - good for a quick easy dip, no lifeguard, flat water

-- 8-10 blocks
• Beautiful neighborhood w/ dozens of historic colonial-era homes
• Another pier and big water-side park with paths & nice walking bridge to Goat Island
• Newport Shipyard, home of Belle's Cafe & some magnificent ship viewing
• Beginning of Downtown Newport, harbor walk & Perrotti Park (ferry & water taxi terminal)
• Newport Gateway Center, hub for trolley network & terminal for out-of-town busses
• About an eight minute walk for most people (10-12 if you are taking in sights, have small kids, or are walking slowly for any reason)

Notes:
• EV owners: I have a 50-amp charger on-site w/ a J-connector & can lend a Tesla adapter
• Sailing: I own a 22' trimaran; I love to take guests sailing when it works out, but it's not guaranteed. I do not charge for this, see below for more details.

Special amenities (free; renter assumes all responsibility):
• Bicycles: I have several cruiser bicycles available for guest use
• Kayak: I have a two-person sit-on-top kayak w/ a dolly that you can walk over to the bay and go for a paddle/explore Newport harbor

Sailing: I am happy to take renters sailing, with a couple of caveats: This is not a part of the rental. My boat is very fast, so conduct and physical ability are a factor in safety. I have taken many guests sailing and it has always worked out well, but I am not a licensed captain. Please ask in advance for additional details if this interests you.

Discounts: For 4-5 day stays, I may be able to offer a discount. For 2-3 day stays on non-holiday weekends, I may be able to offer additional days at a discount - please inquire!

* My unit is two-story, 4-bedroom, 2-bath. According to Newport short term rental laws, I am limited to renting out 2 bedrooms to up to 4 people. During the summer I am generally able to avoid the common areas on the second floor. Please inquire if you have questions!
