The owners live quietly on the upper floors (3rd and 4th), and the only shared area is the entrance stairway, giving you privacy while still having attentive hosts nearby.

We’re longtime fans of Newport’s year-round energy—whether it’s strolling to local shops, trying new restaurants, listening to live music, or spending a relaxing afternoon at the beach or nearby park. The ability to walk out the front door and immediately be part of the action is one of our favorite things about this location.

Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it captures everything we love about Newport in one walkable, lively, and charming area. Downtown has an energy that changes with the seasons—summer brings a fun coastal buzz, and the rest of the year offers a relaxed, cozy atmosphere filled with locals, music, and great food.
What we enjoy most is how effortless it is to step outside and immediately be part of the scene. Boutique shops, waterfront restaurants, cafés, live music venues, and historic streets are all just moments away. Whether you’re heading out for breakfast, taking a stroll by the harbor, exploring the mansions, museums, parks and beaches, or enjoying a night out, everything is right at your doorstep.
It’s a neighborhood where you can be as laid-back or as adventurous as you want, and that’s exactly why we chose it—and why we love sharing it with our guests.

What makes this property unique
What truly sets our property apart is the combination of unbeatable location. It’s rare to find a place right in the heart of downtown Newport that offers such easy access to shops, restaurants, live music, parks, and the waterfront—without the high price tag that usually comes with it.
