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.

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.
