Elegant Thames St. Loft w/ View of Town and Harbor

Summary:
The Lookout Loft offers a front-row seat to Newport’s iconic waterfront energy. Perched above bustling Thames Street, from your windows you can catch the energy of Newport below and watch boats come and go on the harbor at Ann Street Pier. You’re steps from shops, top rated restaurants, the waterfront, and the water taxi. No need to drive - just park in the garage and explore the wharf, harbor, and iconic landmarks by foot all weekend.

The Space:
Inside, you’ll find an elegant retreat designed for a relaxed, elevated stay. Sunlight pours through the windows and skylights, offering views of the harbor and street below. The open living area has room to relax or stream your favorite shows, and the renovated kitchen makes it easy to cook in or bring back takeout from the countless nearby restaurants.

Three bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged for privacy and rest, including a spacious primary suite with its own bathroom. A second full bath and in-unit washer/dryer add convenience without compromising the residence's elegant character.

Park your car in one of the private garage spots and forget about it—you won’t need it. From this location, Newport is yours to explore on foot. Catch the water taxi at the end of the block, stroll to dinner, or simply watch the scene unfold from your windows above Thames Street.

Guest Access:
The Lookout Loft is located on the second floor of a building. You have access to the interior of the loft and 4 spaces in the parking garage across the street.

The Neighborhood:
Located in the heart of Newport, this condo puts you right in the middle of the action. Thames Street is just steps away, lined with boutique shops, cafés, and local favorites. Newport Harbor is a quick two-minute stroll, perfect for waterfront views or setting off on a sailing excursion. Bowen’s Wharf is also close by, just a three-minute walk from your door. For those wanting to explore Newport’s iconic landmarks, the Newport Mansions are a 17-minute walk, while the scenic Cliff Walk is just a minute further.

Getting around is easy, with the Newport Ferry Station a 10-minute walk away.

Getting Around:
Getting around the island is both easy and enjoyable. Many of our homes are situated in residential neighborhoods where walking, biking, scootering, or renting a golf cart offers a relaxed and scenic way to explore the area.

Other Things to Note:
Second Beach is very popular and tends to have more waves. Third Beach is very child-friendly as the water is usually very calm and protected from the wind. The Atlantic Grill is a great breakfast spot and walkable from this property. Newport's Cliff Walk is another must do while visiting. Located on Memorial Blvd, just before you head into Newport. Ocean Drive is an 8-mile scenic waterfront must see. The views are incredible and the mansions on Bellevue Avenue are breathtaking.

Interaction with Guests:
We’re located just down the street and are always happy to assist should you need anything—don’t hesitate to call or text. Otherwise, we’re pleased to give guests the privacy and space to fully enjoy their stay.

Disappointed. Misrepresented listing. Location is across from a pizza shop that is open until 2am. Screaming & yelling until after 3am. Be ready for no sleep. Parking is not convenient & many old unsafe stairs for those who may have issues. Have been coming to Newport for 20 yrs have never left a negative review. Was going to stay where we did last year, also on Thames but this time was willing to pay the extra 700 more for “a water view”. View was of a dirty alleyway with trash dumpster & a sliver of the water if you stood a certain way. This is a no shoes allowed property however, the carpets are dirty, the back bathroom floors were grossly sticky. Bathmat was filthy & towels smelled musty & damp. I did contact them before leaving review & received a generic response. Asked if my concerns were relayed to the owner/host & was told no & was told the management would get back to me & was ghosted. I was never looking for a monetary resolution but instead a response from owner so he was aware especially of the poor cleaning. I own my own property that I rent out in PA & handle any concerns very differently. Hopefully this helps someone else make a decision on where to stay.

We were in town for a family wedding and very much enjoyed our stay here. No water views from any of the rooms, but the location is great for being near shops and restaurants. The apartment is in the heart of it all. This also means you hear street noise until all hours -- but I brought ear plugs. Lol. Most importantly, the unit offers two parking spaces in a nearby garage. This is super, given how hard parking is in downtown Newport. The loft appeared to be newly renovated (kitchen, etc.) Everything was clean upon our arrival. Beds and bedding were comfortable. We had a great stay and would definitely stay again!

NOISE NOISE AND LIGHTS!!!

If you stay up until 3am and don't mind constant yelling and spotlights shining in your room all night from the parking lot outside of your bedroom than this is the place for you!!! There was a saxophone player with a boom box and people yelling all night long outside of our windows. It is right across the street from a late night pizza shop. I expressed my concern about the noise to Vrbo and they replied that Newport is a lively place. Raucous, disorderly and disruptive would more accurately describe what was going on outside this unit. In the contract we were told there was a strict noise ordnance from 10pm to 8am. Clearly it is not enforced yet we would be fined 100 if the police were called to the unit. We did call the police about the noise but they were no help. The curtains are paper thin so the spotlight from the parking lot lit up our room as if it were the middle of the day.....4 nights of little to no sleep...they did provide noise machines but it couldn't get loud enough to drowned out the noise

Beautiful and Comfortable

Exactly as we were expecting! Beautiful, bright, comfortable and perfectly located! Exceptional detail in amenities provided. Communications with host were quick , friendly and very easy. Outstanding response time. Thoughtful placement of Sound machine in bedrooms helped with the late night noisy neighborhood which wasn’t overly troublesome just a bit frustrating. Overall an exceptionally great experience and we would happily return to stay again!

Beautiful House

The house was absolutely beautiful and exactly as pictured. The location was amazing. We were centrally located to stores, restaurants, etc. It was really the perfect location. The only negative (which is of no fault of the house / owner) is the neighborhood was very loud at night. There were parties going on until 3 in the morning with people shouting which made sleeping difficult.
