Lovely home, lovely home owners!

Wonderful location, fabulous and responsive hostess. Shannon could not have been more accommodating. Their home is clean, equipped with board games and so close to the cliff walk. Its a hop, skip and a jump from Newport. Cozy home, great location....what more could you ask for? Great stay. Thank you Shannon and Matt.

Wonderful Weekend

We enjoyed this home for a long weekend. The house was lovely and the backyard was relaxing. We were able to walk to First Beach and the Cliff Walk. It was a short drive to downtown Newport. Only wish we could have stayed longer.

Lovely

This was our first time in Newport and we had a wonderful experience. This house is exactly as pictured, clean, beds are comfortable, location is close to beaches and 10 mins to downtown Newport. Perfect house for our needs. Only negative would be it’s a tad difficult to see when backing out of the driveway. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.

Great location and comfortable home!

We stayed in this home for a long weekend with extended family of all ages for Salve Regina’s graduation weekend. We especially enjoyed the large, open concept kitchen, living room and dining area. We like to cook A LOT, so it was great to have everyone together while we prepared and ate meals. The beds were comfortable and the house was clean. For me, it always helps to know what to expect when you arrive. This home is showing signs of being frequently rented. The carpets and upholstery have deep stains that don’t come out, and there is chipping paint in places. If you don’t mind some wear and tear, this house is a great value! Also, the owners were VERY helpful in providing road construction updates and answering our questions.

Charming Cottage!!

Our family came to Newport to visit our daughter and husband from Missouri for a long weekend. This home was perfect for our family. It was extremely clean, very spacious and the location was amazing. All of the amenities we needed were included. Communication with the owners was excellent. Can’t wait to book this home again the next time we return to Rhode Island!!

Great Property!

Let me start by saying that this was our first time in Newport or Rhode Island for that matter. Once we arrived at the property, it was just a matter of figuring out where everything is. This place is a short distance from it all! First, the property has 3 bedrooms and a full bath on the main level along with a bedroom and 3/4 bath on the lower level. The house is clean and there were plenty of towels. Easy UBER to Thames Street where most of the restaurants and shops are. Dunkin Donuts and plenty of other cafe's area a mile away. The Cliff Walk is about .7 miles away as well. Two beaches less than a mile away. Great home for a reasonable price near Newport! Hosts are very accessible and answered all our questions. Thanks for a great vacation!

The most perfect house for your weekend in Newport

I can't say enough about this house! Newport isn't the cheapest place to find accommodations but this house was reasonable for the area, especially considering the location. It's a less than 10 minute Uber ride into downtown, walkable to the Cliff Walk and several fantastic restaurants. The house itself was updated, had a nice large kitchen and was incredibly spacious. I don't think I've ever noticed a lawn at a vacation house but it was beautifully manicured and stuck out to all of us. The only downside was the listing says there are three bathrooms but there is only two. That was fine for us but it should be advertised correctly. Can't wait to come back to this town and stay in this house again - I would recommend it to anyone.

A lovely home, with an excellent use of space inside and a large beautiful back yard.

Thrilled to be in middletown, and have the opportunity to be in this beautiful home. Within walking distance of local bars, restaurants, and beaches. Able to get to all the Newport and Middletown points of interest. The house was clean and comfortable, with great wifi, and in a quiet neighborhood. (Exactly what we wanted) PERFECT for any family getaway. HUGE gated yard if you have kids that need to run and play. Would absolutely rent again!!!!

Charming beach home

Great location to beaches, downtown Newport, and Newport Polo field. The home is charming and spacious. The downstairs living space, bedroom and full bathroom was perfect for our teenagers. Although, it was very hot in the basement there is no AC. The outdoor shower was great to rinse off sand. Check in and out was extremely easy. The owners replied very quickly to any messages.

Painless wedding accommodations

Numerous family members got sticker shock at the Newport hotel rates in July. This rental was perfect. Very close to beaches and town, but in a more residential area. The backyard is huge! Great fun. BBQ even worked quite well. Only downside is that one bathroom is inside the downstairs bedroom. Upstairs bathroom serves 6 people. Could be tricky if privacy is big issue with the downstairs people.

Clean and Spacious

My husband and I rented Matt & Shannon's house for our family for my son's wedding in September. They answered all my questions in a timely fashion. The house was clean and there was more than enough room for the seven of us. The house was also close to the hotels where the other wedding guests were staying. It was perfect. Everyone had a great time. Thanks guys! By the way, the wedding was SPECTACULAR! Michelle
