Before You Request to Book - Please submit an inquiry.
We love hosting guests who’ll enjoy our space as much as we do. To make sure it’s a perfect fit, please send an inquiry before submitting a booking request.
A few things to know: • Max occupancy: 2 adults (28+), no exceptions • Names & phone numbers required for all guests at booking acceptance • Registered guests only — no visitors, parties, or events • Summer weekends (June 1–Oct 31) require Fri + Sat nights (holiday weekends = 3 nights) • Travel insurance is strongly recommended — our cancellation policy applies to all reservations • I personally speak with each guest after booking to confirm details and answer questions. ⸻
• No third-party bookings. The person making the reservation must be one of the guests staying at the property and present for the entire duration of the stay—no booking on behalf of friends, family, or colleagues.
About the Space
This isn’t your average rental — at nearly 2,000 sq. ft., it’s 3–4 times larger than a typical hotel suite. Located in Newport’s trendy South Broadway (SoBo) district, you’re steps from restaurants, cafés, and bars, with Thames Street, Bellevue Avenue, the harbor, and the ocean just a short walk away.
Inside, you’ll find: • 1 bedroom with king bed • 1 full bath + small half bath (off the bedroom) • Beautiful kitchen • Spacious living area with high ceilings, exposed brick & serious wow factor • Pool table, foosball, and shuffleboard • Central A/C, Wi-Fi, Smart TV (YouTube streaming), and Amazon Echo
⸻
The Good Stuff • Huge, stylish space with unique character • Walk everywhere — no car needed • Surrounded by top dining, bars, and shopping • Live like a local in a vibrant neighborhood
⸻
The “Warts” (because every place has them) • We live upstairs — you may hear us walking (we try to be quiet!) • Urban living = occasional city noise • Half bath is “cozy” (code for small) and only accessible through the bedroom • Only the larger oven works • Fireplace, pellet stove, and jacuzzi tub not working at this time
⸻
House Rules (Non-Negotiable) • Adults only (28+) — no children, infants, or air mattresses • No animals (family allergies) • No smoking anywhere on the property • No hair dye (fees apply for damage/cleaning) • No seafood or strong-odor cooking (keep it fresh for the next guest ) • No unregistered guests • Basement is off-limits • Quiet hours: 10pm–7am — please be mindful of neighbors
⸻
Parking • On-street parking only — follow posted signs • One resident guest parking pass provided (May 1–Oct 1) — must be returned or $250 fee applies
⸻
Other Notes • Cleaning fee covers standard turnover — please leave kitchen appliances clean to avoid extra charges • Outdoor areas & basement have 24-hour security cameras (no indoor living space cameras) • We’re not responsible for third-party outages (electric, water, internet) beyond our control • Décor and furnishings may change without affecting listing accuracy • Owner’s Right of Entry (Internet Issues): If internet service goes out, we may need to briefly enter the unit to restore it. We’ll always notify you when possible, and keep it quick. • With so many amazing restaurants nearby, most guests let the pros do the cooking. Because of that, we no longer stock pantry staples (they went to waste). If you want to whip something up, please bring your own ingredients — and out of kindness to the next guest, avoid “signature scents” that linger past checkout.

You guys are really terrific! Thanks for taking such good care of my place. Please come back soon and stay in touch!
The house was everything we hoped it would be. The house was spotless, well stocked with everything you could imagine, and absolutely beautiful. The decor is unique and it felt like every piece had a story. The windows were beautiful and it was almost hard to leave the house each day. The location is perfectly central to restaurants/bars. Barbara's communication was spectacular. The entire trip was amazing. Thank you to Barbara for being such a great host. It was an honor to stay in your home! We are looking forward to a return trip soon.

This was the best rental property we’ve ever stayed at for a vacation! Barbara was truly amazing with communication and recommendations for great food, events and activities! We got engaged a day before we got to Rhode Island and this place really put the icing on the cake! Super clean, fun activity from board games to the pool table, it was just all around perfect.

Really wonderful guests — a true pleasure to host. They left the place exactly as they found it, were friendly and fun to chat with, and showed great respect for the house rules. I’d be delighted to welcome them back anytime. Wishing them a lifetime of happiness together, and I hope to see those wedding photos!
Don’t hesitate to book a stay here. It was such a treat. The property is so unique, comfortable, and incredibly well appointed. They really thought of everything you need and more for a stay. Perfect location for exploring Newport. The host could not have been more welcoming and helpful, from the best places to eat, to the best times to visit local attractions. Can’t wait to return.
Very much enjoyed our stay in this unique beautiful property in a fantastic neighborhood. Completely accessible to all Newport has to offer with great dining and live music. Very much enjoyed our stay.

Mark and Diane were absolutely perfect guests—great communicators and incredibly respectful of my home. They left everything just as they found it. I’d be happy to host them again anytime!
A perfect location to explore Newport and surrounding areas, and plenty of options in walking distance. The hosts and accommodations were great, and had everything we might have needed for a relaxing stay, including excellent tips on local restaurants and attractions.
The location was perfect for accessing the downtown area - restaurants, bars, shopping, etc.
The home itself was amazing and had everything you could need/want and the hosts were amazing people.
We had a perfect time away.

Thanks for taking such good care of my home. It’s always a pleasure to host guests like yourself. I hope you return soon- there is so much more to see and do ( all year long) in beautiful Newport!
A truly unique, one of a kind spot located right in the thick of things in downtown Newport.As this was a solo trip , I really enjoyed relaxing inside- availing myself to the parlor games, chefs kitchen and reading on the comfortable seating in front of the gas fireplace. Great 4 day stay.
