Howland House is a four unit, classic historic Newport property. Built in 1750 it predates the Revolution and is one of Newport's oldest homes. While it holds all of the charm of old New England, through renovations and updates, it can comfortably accommodate larger parties allowing everyone privacy within their own units. Three of the four units are suites, while one is a townhouse style apartment. There is one full kitchen located in that unit. All of the other units have their own microwaves, coffee stations, mini fridges, plenty of closet space, and mini splits. There are three on site parking spots, first come first served and we also have an off-site lot 7 min walk away, if needed (by request)

Please be sure to reachout to us directly regarding any questions about rooms, occupancy, property amenities or otherwise!

All of Windwards properties are professionally cleaned between guests and come outfitted in high end linens and towels.

Aside from the cleanliness of the space, it is in one of the most sought after locations in Newport. Right outside your door you can spot historic St. Mary’s Church, and you are steps away from Thames Street, Bannisters & Bowens Wharf, and endless restaurants, bars, and shopping.

Here is a breakdown of each unit:

Unit 15 - 3 Rooms - Sleeps 4 - King bed, living room with pull out sofa, bathroom
Unit 16 - 3 Rooms - Sleeps 5 - King bed, living room with pull out sofa, daybed, bathroom

perfect location

I used to be a Newport resident and invited some extended family for a get-away. This place was perfectly located, great parking, we all had our privacy - most rooms had a coffee station and fridge and private bathroom. The kitchen is separate - you have to walk thru a couple of bedrooms or go around house to access it which was not a problem for us. We had an elderly lady with us and she was very comfortable. Excellent place!
