Downtown Condo on Thames Street

This awesome 2 bedroom + condo is located downtown just as you enter the Newport's 5th Ward neighborhood! Step out of your front door to the popular Thames Street where you neighbor cafes and local businesses plus King Park - great for kids, runs, or access to the harbor. This old Thames storefront has a great open-concept living space with full kitchen, dining, lounging, and entertainment center. Just down the hall, there are two bedrooms with queen beds plus a bonus office with full size pullout sofa, great for kids or parties spreading out a bit. Each room is outfitted with a smart TV, new comfortable beds, fans, and AC. Enjoy a mixed selection of pillows throughout the condo to suit all types. The unit has a private entrance with spacious mudroom and access to the small private patio. Cozy outdoor seating with night lighting, we just ask that groups are kept small and voices/music low after 10:00pm. The kitchen is fully stocked to dine in and we are close by to several markets. PARKING off-street is NOT PROVIDED, however, we are located in one of the few areas that offer non-resident street parking where it is easier for visitors to find free places to park. Often times, you will find parking just out front, otherwise there is street parking one block away. Recommendations are made on nearby parking locations after booking. We recommend walking, biking, or pedi-cabbing (Uber is also available) to experience Newport as much as possible!

We are PET FRIENDLY to responsible pet owners (all pets must be approved and conditions may apply) - 2 maximum
$100 pet fee
2 sizes of dog bowls & floor mat provided for your pooch
*Dogs must be walked off-premises for the bathroom (we have no grass!), but there are multiple dog parks nearby.

The home was as pictured online. 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The kitchen/living space was a good size. This home was very close to the shopping/wharf area (about half mile walk) and plenty of restaurants very close by as well. There was pretty regularly a parking spot right out front or just a couple doors down. Very comfortable and easy to communicate with the owner. Would stay here again!

Classic Newport experiences

Doesn’t get much better. Super close to all, mostly quiet; parking nearby even without a designated spot. Place itself is has all the needs for a great stay steps away from the Newport experience. Comfort, Cozy. Modern, would stay again.

Wonderful rental

We loved this rental. Everything was as expected, we stayed for 8 days here. It’s a great location towards the end on Thames, close to the action but far enough down so that it was reasonably quiet. While it didn’t have a parking spot, we found parking within a block on Thames everyday. Our limited interaction with the host was always pleasant and she responded very quickly. We loved everything about this location, and will definitely rent again!

Amazing!

The General Store exceeding our expectations! It had everything we needed and then some, was the perfect layout for our needs. We had our kids in the spare bedroom and the adults were able to hang out in the common space without waking up the kids. The location was amazing as well, we were able to walk right into town and be separated enough for the craziness of the nightlife so it didn’t keep us awake at night. We will definitely be staying again!

Best Condo Experience!

I’ve been using VRBO for condo/house rentals but this place was the best ever. It deserves a 10+ rating! Best location in walking distance to everything, The condo was immaculate and beyond equipped with all your needs (even for the doggie). Communication with owner was EZPZ. Loved the A/C and ceiling fans in each room. The outside sitting area was perfect to relax or enjoy cocktails. I can’t wait to return again. It’s my new summer getaway place after spending 35 years in the Hamptons.

620 Thames St

I booked this rental for our family with my 92 year old mother in mind. I knew there were stairs at the entry but didn’t realize there were small awkward stairs going down to the bedrooms and one bathroom. My mom ended up not going so it was okay. Day one there was a lightbulb that needed replaced in a bathroom. Luckily there was a spare under the sink and we replaced it. Unfortunately a few days later the other bulb went out along with the ceiling fixture in the other bathroom. We reported everything to the property manager and she promptly fixed it with a motion light. Imagine taking a shower behind the curtain with a motion light…it is challenging. Our last day we ran out of toilet paper. There was also a large tear in one of the fitted sheets which I also reported. Our stay was okay but would never stay there again.

Very nice property!

We loved The General Store! A very "dialed in" property! Nicely decorated, clean and comfortable and very well equipped. We loved the location...walked to restaurants and shopping, barely moved our car. Our host was very prompt in getting back to us with any questions...not only before we checked in, but also during our stay. We will definitely rent again.
