Thank you for staying with us Sean and for taking such good care of our home. And thank you for recognizing our efforts to make your stay an enjoyable one. With mattress types being a personal preference, it’s tough to please everyone there. But of the mattresses you mentioned, one was new last year and 2 were brought in new last month.😁 We will always try to keep everything in the best condition for our guests. We look forward to having your family stay with us again. Warm regards, Todd & Monica

This property was lovely and worked well for us. Ideally situated within a short walk to the beach and downtown Middletown, we could all easily manage our own agenda. I loved the 2 living areas to give us some extra space with the kids and we hung in the private and relaxing backyard often. Beautifully decorated and it had everything we needed. Todd and Monica were easy to work with and we really enjoyed our stay here!

Great location for both walking to main drag and beach, and ease of getting into Newport. Upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms were very comfortable. Unfortunately the basement was unusable as it was too musty. Kitchen needed pot holders and DW detergent.

Thanks for staying with us. We have hosted families for over a decade and have never received 3 stars, as we make every effort to ensure our guests are happy. As we did when we purchased the special pans and utensils you requested before you arrived, allowed you to park a car in the driveway 5 hours before checkin and prepared the house so you could check in early. We communicated numerous times during your stay when you asked for extra keys and could not find the bath towels(in the bathroom closet), so it’s very surprising that you never mentioned your dissatisfaction with the lower level. Had you contacted me I would have come right over to address any issues (as I did with the extra keys). We have a wall mini split A/C and dehumidifier and a separate floor dehumidifier by the bathroom which are more than adequate to keep the space dry without any odors as noted by reviews from previous and subsequent guests. And we also have an Ionic Hepa air purifier in that space for guests with any allergies. We make every effort to treat our guests the way we like to be treated when we are on vacation and it’s surprising you didn’t mention this during our multiple calls and messages.

Great location- short drive to beach and Newport. The beach has a ton of seaweed so be prepared for that. This is a 3 bedroom home --- the "4th bedroom" is in the basement and there is a VERY uncomfortable futon to sleep on. The basement is VERY damp - needed to empty the dehumidifier twice a day and there was a large air purifier in the center of the room. Ceiling tiles were missing and there was definitely a musty smell. Also the quality of kitchen utensils, pans etc were very poor, Very limited- one 10 inch frying pan and a sauce pan - only 3 kitchen towels. Make sure you bring everything you need - dishwasher pods, laundry detergent, toilet paper , trash bags etc.. the owner does not supply not even one or two of these items to get your week started. If you need 4 bedrooms like I did, I would recommend another home.

Vrbo response Thanks for staying with us and for liking the location and cleanliness of the house. We have hosted families for 13 years and we make every effort to ensure our guests are happy and comfortable. As we do with all, guests we asked you to call or text us anytime, day or night, if you have any questions or issues with the house, the area, restaurant suggestions, etc. It’s concerning that the issues you listed in your review were not raised with us during your stay. If you had, we could have told you there were more pans in the stove drawer. Although it has never been a problem for other guests to intuitively locate them without any assistance. In terms of, as to what we provide, all items are listed on the VRBO property page so you can review all features of the house before you agree to book. Also, you had 11 months to review this information. While we don't provide paper products we do, as a courtesy in each bathroom provide one roll of toilet paper, hand soap and a roll of paper towel in the kitchen. This allows guests to unpack their cars and then go do their grocery shopping. It appears your intention is to misinform future guests about their stay in our home. It may simply be that a New England costal type of vacation was not to your liking. Especially given your complaints about coastal conditions, which include things like seaweed on the beach— which is generally expected, as well as the humidity that comes with rainy coastal days. The guests, before and after your stay, contacted us to say how everything was perfect and they didn't need anything, which is usually the standard response.

Enjoyable stay

We stayed in the house for a week and the house was great for our family (includes 3 girls 11 to 15). The kitchen and bathrooms are new, and we had beds for everyone. Star of the house is the back yard with a deck that had a seating area and new grill where we ate every night. We also used the patio with firepit for smores on more than one occasion. Washer/Dryer were big and able to handle our towels. There were plenty of chairs and an umbrella, a couple of boogie boards and a wagon for the beach. Bring an extra umbrella if you usually use more than one. Bonus was a hammock that was well used. There are cleaning supplies everywhere and we had no issues with the cleanliness of the house or feeling that we were exposed to COVID. In the stores and town it seemed everyone was masked and social distancing. We ate in restaurants a few times, went tot he auto museum, and sat on the beach and at no times felt at risk. It is obvious the house is well cared for, updated, and has everything a family needs. The house is centrally located and has easy access to beaches, stores, restaurants and Newport. It sits between 1st and 2nd beach. 1st beach has parking for visitors but 2nd does not. I was able to drop the family at 2nd beach, drive home then jog the 1.5 mile to the beach. It is shaded most of the way and I saw a number of other folks doing the same. The cliff walk starts at 1st beach so we combined a day at the beach with the walk. There is a Cumberland Farms down the street, Stop n Shop / Shaws (i recommend the latter as it is much bigger) for food shopping and liquor stores within an easy drive. It was easy to communicate with the owners and they answered any questions we had quickly.
