We had a great time staying at this property. It was super clean, and we appreciated that so many items (like shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, magnifying mirror, clean sponge, dish and dishwasher soap, laundry soap ect.) were included for us to use. We were also impressed that it was such a quiet location even though it is very close to the fun zone. Thanks for a great stay!

Great Location
Very clean. Great Location. Close to everything. One Bedroom on main floor. Second bed is up a staircase with a pull out bed. Pull out was actually very comfortable. Only bathroom located in main bedroom. Great place for a couple to stay. Parking is a little tuff because of construction on across from our stay. Hard to get into carport. But no noise from construction. We were there Friday evening to Monday morning.

Location, Location, Location!
This home is definitely a winner if you're exploring Newport on vacation. We really enjoyed the ease to the ocean and nearby bay. Excellent quality amenities and well appointed property. Ease of communication with host was also excellent. We did find the AC, TV and fireplace remotes not as user friendly as expected. We got everything working but it has a learning curve.Of note, this unit faces the alley and there is a major home construction project underway directly across the way. Due to construction fencing, the parking for this unit was not accessible twice, once because the cleaners were in shared driveway and the second when the front unit was rented on our last night and their van was in driveway. There are two designated spots for these front and rear units but with fencing sticking out in alley, only one large car can really occupy the drive at a time. We have an SUV, so a compact car might have better luck. We had zero issue finding nearby street parking, were able to load and unload easily in the alley both times, and this is simply our experience and meant to inform rather than deter. The construction noise is fairly quiet (talking, intermittent) but starts early. They are really nice workers, literally everyone in this area was really friendly. For an off season stay like ours, it was all part of the ambiance.The waterfront bliss earns it's namesake.

Marina, Beach, Fun Zone!
Family and a friend went for a quick beach trip (2 14 yr olds). Had a blast. Super close access to Fun Zone, marina and local beaches. Kids loved the upstairs loft area. Small but cozy and a bit limited if you plan on preparing your own meals. Would highly recommend for short term visit’s
