Thank you, Jessica, for your kind words. We're glad you appreciated the convenient location near the beach and shops. We'd be happy to welcome you back anytime!
Nice property, comfortable beds. Good location to beach, a little crowded and noisy location and view of parking lot mainly. Overall nice place to walk to eat or drink.
Overall very happy with this stay, location was 10/10 and the place was clean. No complaints!

Thank you for your wonderful review, Sanya! We're glad you enjoyed the prime location on the boardwalk and found everything within walking distance. It's great to hear that you appreciated the amenities and our communication. We hope to welcome you back for another stay!
In the heart of the action. Bars and restaurants within a short walking distance. We actually did not have any problems finding street parking and also took advantage of the public parking lot from 6 pm to 8 am each day in front of the house. Right on the boardwalk. Favorite thing to do was open the double doors, sit on the chairs in front and enjoy coffee in the morning and beers at night just people watching with our dog. Incredible sunsets and many interactions with people walking by.

The host was ok, but I didn’t receive a text on how to enter the property until I was standing at the front door for 5mins. It was a little frustrating that he couldn’t walk me through it. Instead, he kept referring to the text and pictures that I still hadn’t gotten. Also, I understand no one can predict or control the weather, but it said and showed a working fireplace. It was cold and raining and the existing fireplace was an electric flame that didn’t even put off heat.
The property is dated, however the location is spot on. Renter need to be reminded that there are people live upstairs and the footfalls are apparent and noticable.
Breathtaking! Busy spot. Conveniently located. Only parking for 1 small vehicle otherwise 40 bucks a day to park in lot located rite in front of unit. Great experience.

Thanks Rebekah, glad you enjoyed the location - being right by the beach is always a win. We wish we had heard from you during your stay about the towels and paper towels. We always keep extras stocked in the closets, so they may have just been overlooked.
Also not quite sure what you meant about the showers - they’re all draining and functioning properly, and we recently installed brand new shower heads. That said, we’re always open to feedback and looking for ways to improve.
Hope to have you back again and maybe earn that fifth star next time.
It's always so hard to find a place with dogs. This surpassed my expectations. House was clean, stocked with enough basics, check in process was seamless, and my two dogs were allowed.

It's great to know that the check-in process was seamless for you and that your dogs felt welcome. We hope to see you all again for another stay!
The beach house was truly a dream! From the moment we stepped inside, I was enchanted by its charming décor and open layout that perfectly captured the essence of coastal living. The large tinted French doors provided privacy, and when opened, they allowed the ocean breeze to flow in, creating a paradise-like atmosphere. Every detail, from the cozy furnishings to the inviting outdoor deck, was designed for comfort and enjoyment. Whether sipping coffee while watching the sunrise or unwinding with friends under the stars, the beach house was nothing short of perfect for creating unforgettable memories. Additionally, our host was very quick to respond to any questions we had, which made our stay even more enjoyable.
The house was great.It had plenty of room and the bedrooms were large with fans and windows to keep us the perfect temp. The downfall was the hotel next door. The emplyee entrance/exit is right at the alley where the house is and OMG… from 10pm-2am it was insane. Cars, honking horns, yellign, laughter, morotcycles, cat calls… the motion lights on and off and on and off… they should have said this would happen. Sleeping was awful!! Wont stay in this spot again, but not because of the property, just the unending noise at night. For a quiet Newport expereoence… thumbs down. Also they share the internet with the whole house and once others came it was frozen. Just charge a couple more dollars per night and upgrade the speed…

Hey Tiffany, thanks for the kind words about the home. The location is in a super popular part of Newport and that’s exactly why so many guests book it. You get coveted boardwalk access and you're just steps from the sand in one of the most iconic coastal spots around. It’s a rare find in terms of both access and charm, and people love being in the middle of it all.
That said, we do want to clarify for future guests: while the home is near some popular nightlife a few blocks away, the kind of noise you mentioned isn’t a nightly thing. It sounds like you caught a rare pocket of activity from next door. This isn’t a party zone and it’s absolutely possible to have a relaxing stay here. Most guests do.
Also just to correct the Wi-Fi info comment: this unit has its own private high-speed router. It’s not shared with any other space nor has it ever been set up that way. We were just there and it’s running great. If we had known you were having issues, we would’ve happily helped in real time.
Thanks again for staying with us!
The host was very responsive and helpful to some minor questions. The location is excellent, right on the beach, right next to a lot of eateries. Just know it’s very busy and loud on weekend nights but luckily the bedrooms are in the back and noise is minimal. The home was very clean and inviting. Only improvements could be the host providing cotton sheets because the humidity of the beach makes sleeping pretty uncomfortable. Also the internet is very slow which made watching the smart tv and doing work on my computer difficult and at times, unreliable. In fairness, I told the host these things during my stay and they said they are looking into it.
