It is elevated by 18 feet because it is so close to the ocean so it has awesome views!

The first living floor has a bright, sunny open living/dining room with spectacular views of the ocean, beach and cliff walk. Perfect for entertaining! Enjoy colorful sunsets year round from the living room and deck that is right off the living room or cozy up in front of the gas fireplace in the winter and watch the smokey ocean with waves crashing on the snowy beach. The living room has a smart TV to access Hulu, Netflix and more.

The granite and stainless steel appliances complete the galley kitchen which is well stocked for all your cooking needs and is open so the chef can see all guests in the living and dining areas in addition to the beautiful views of the beach.

Fall asleep to the sounds of the waves all year round!

On the top floor the main bedroom with ocean and beach views has a king sized bed with full tile and glass tub/shower bath in-suite.

The 3rd bedroom has a queen and a twin and the 4th bedroom has two queen beds with a full tile and glass tub/shower bath in the hall.

Beautiful house
We had a large group of women stay at the house. With 3 bathrooms and numerous beds, it was easy to make everyone comfortable. The house was very clean and well decorated. The view was amazing, and it was an easy walk to get on the beach. Julie was quick to communicate and very accommodating. I highly recommend!

Perfect RI Getaway
An amazing, fall, girlfriends' getaway. Julie could not have been nicer or more helpful. We all came from different states so she was very accommodating with an early check-in. The house was extremely clean and had plenty of everything - towels, chairs, toys, etc. The views of the beach are beautiful and a perfect view of the cliff walk. Steps away from the beach / restaurants and only a few minutes drive to downtown Newport so it was the best of both worlds. We'll be back!

Great family beach vacation
Julie—thanks so much for sharing your house—“Be on the Beach” – for our 3 generation family (6 adults and 4 kids) vacation this past week. The house is fabulous, very clean, with great views and has everything needed for a super beach vacation—abundant bath, kitchen and beach towels, plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas etc. Plus, a new deck and outdoor shower. And being just a short walk to First/Easton’s Beach was huge as we could go back and forth multiple times a day depending on which kids were tired or hungry, who needed to get out of the sun etc. It was an easy walk to several restaurants and a great ice cream shop, and a short drive to Newport, Brenton Point for kite flying, and the Sachuest Point wildlife refuge. The basement was also a hit for the 2 older kids—almost 7. After a day at the beach, they could play down there with all sorts of toys. We had terrific weather the whole week until late Friday afternoon—some rain and a lightning show over the mansions across the way. All in all, a great vacation—we all said we would love to come back again. Thanks so much.

Exactly as it looks!
I highly recommend booking this property, it's right on the beach, super clean, with comfy beds. We were there for a bachelorette weekend with 11 girls and it did not feel too tight. It's just a 10 minute uber into Newport and close to the wineries. Julie was super responsive and lives next door if anything comes up. Also, love the front porch!

Absolutely Gorgeous Property
We celebrated a 50th birthday with a group of 10 moms. This location was incredible. The bedding was beautiful, the kitchen is perfectly appointed with everything you need, all the bedrooms have closets and dressers, and the family room is comfortable for gathering. The view from 2 sides of the house is ocean and breathtaking. You can see the path to the beach from the back of the house, a few minutes walk away. The host was welcoming and made checkin easy. The house is a short easy walk to the start of the cliff walk. You could also walk to downtown Newport, but it would be about 2 miles. We drove in and found parking downtown when we wanted to go. This property is a must stay for a beach getaway.

Long Weekend Getaway
Our stay was just what we needed. We were looking for rest and relaxation. It was my birthday weekend in the beginning of March, with my adult children and even though the weather wasn't the best, the stay was amazing. Everything you need for food, shopping, hikes, etc., was so close by. The house was immaculate and the indoor fireplace was so cozy. We were low key and just played cards, board games, and watched movies. All were right there and easily accessible, as well as WiFi.

This house is very pretty, in a great location, steps from the beach and very clean! Cleanliness is important to our family and we appreciated how comfortable and maintained the home is. It unfortunately rained the whole duration of our stay, but the cozy fireplace and ease of being together in the home made it so enjoyable. The bedding was fresh and smelled lovely. The kitchen and bathrooms are supplied with everything we needed for our stay. Even having makeup remover wipes In the little jars in the bathroom were a thoughtful and appreciated touch! Julie was responsive and made the check in and out process seamless. The directions were clear and easy to follow for the care of the home . We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be definitely renting from Julie again ! Five stars !

RI Beach Trip for Family w/ Adult Kids
Julie's house is lovely and situated with a great view of 1st Beach/Easton's Beach and the Cliff Walk across the water. It is also in walking distance of places to eat in or grab milk and such in Middletown. And it is about a 35-minute walk to Newport. Unfortunately, the weather was not great "beach weather," but we enjoyed the relaxed days, time spent exploring Newport and the Gilded Age mansions, the International Tennis Center and Museum, and various walks, including the wonderful Cliff Walk. Julie gave us good tips for places to eat and wisely recommended making dinner reservations well ahead of time! The house was well stocked with essentials like paper towels, toilet paper, and tissues, as well as beach towels, chairs, etc. The basement--with pool and ping pong tables--was nicer than it looks from the photos and provided good rainy day options. Thanks to Julie for being a wonderful host of a great house! Double thumbs up!

About the host

Hosted by Julie O'Halloran 401-862-1465

Host profile image
I have lived on this street most of my life. After I got married, my husband and I bought these three lots where we built our own home and two vacation homes. It is one of the most beautiful spots on Aquidneck Island and in all of Rhode Island. We are continually updating, renovating and improving our beach homes for our guests, many of whom return year after year. I have equipped them with everything you will need for a great vacation on the beach, even in the winter with the cozy gas fireplaces. So book your week or weekend now before we sell out!

Why they chose this property

My whole family has lived here within a few blocks of each other since 1930, so the memories of my childhood surround me. Swimming and surfing at '1st Beach', exploring the rocks on the point, walking to the surf store, restaurants, and '2nd Beach', walking to St. George's School where all of my daughters were educated, and watching the amazing sunsets over the Cliff Walk and big surf have been a part of my life and I would not want to live anywhere else.

What makes this property unique

The Esplanade and Tuckerman Avenue area on Easton's Point is centrally located so that you are very close to downtown, both beaches, or Route 138 for a quick drive to Providence or Boston, but it is quiet and the scenery is gorgeous so that you feel as though you are at a resort on an island.
Please check out our other two other homes on the same ocean and beachfront compound overlooking Newport's Easton's Beach and the cliff Walk or rent all three for your wedding or family reunion. We look forward to having you as our guests!

Esplanade Rock Cottage 5 bedrooms 3.5 baths

Easton's Seaside Cottage 4 bedrooms 2.5 baths
https://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p131374

Location, location, location, on a beachfront compound, 50 feet to the sand! These homes are close to 1st and 2nd beach and downtown, yet away from the congestion and traffic and within walking distance of The Newport Beach House wedding venue, Flo's Clam Shack, Tickets Sports Bar, Mission Restaurant, Aquidneck Pizza, Diego's Restaurant, Atlantic Grill, Clementine's ice cream, Island surf and skate shop, Elemental surf shop, Cumberland Farms convenience stores, Bottega Bocconi Italian Deli and restaurant, a coffee shop and more!
