The best Newport stay
My friends and I came here for a college reunion weekend and we could not have had a more comfortable stay. There was plenty of space for everyone, with kitchens on every floor and bathrooms. Heidi was extremely accommodating and made the check in process extremely simple for us. Will absolutely be back and recommend for families or groups of friends looking for a place to stay near downtown!

Fantastic Property!!
Loved the location of the property. Close to the beach, restaurants, and shops. Kids loved walking to the ice cream shop. We all loved sitting on the decks and watching the waves. Cannot beat the size and privacy of the back yard. Loved the outdoor shower too! Attended a family wedding and had a wonderful place to call home for a week!!

Location Location Location!!
The house is as about as close as you can get to 1st Beach and in walking distance to everything you want to except downtown. Made everything super easy for the family. Top floor and roof deck make the house perfect for a larger family gathering and the kids loved the loft. Some bedrooms are a little tight if you are looking to get a pack and play but the locations makes the squeeze worth it.

Perfect and everyone
My family stayed at the Beach House while in town for my daughters wedding. The house is beautiful and there are more than enough rooms to spread out and have your own space, it has beautiful water views, very clean and beautiful furnishings. It has everything you need and Heidi was an amazing host who goes over and above to make your stay perfect.

Top spot in Newport!
If you’re renting anywhere else in the area you’re missing out! The host was gracious enough to welcome my family and friends for a celebratory weekend and did not disappoint. Stellar roof views and a wonderful backyard fire pit area make the beach house an ideal weekend getaway that will leave you eager to come back. Can’t thank the host enough for making this weekend seamless.

Wedding Weekend
We stayed at this LOVELY beach house for a family wedding at Gooseberry Beach. We enjoyed all the comfortable beds and were able to have family breakfasts together in the spacious kitchen and sitting rooms. We also loved all the bathrooms as it gave us all our space to be getting ready for all the events. The property is perfect location for beach and access to Cliffwalk and Newport. Heidi was so helpful the whole stay to answer all our questions. We will come stay again!

Great property for a large group
We had several relatives in town for our son's wedding, and the house accommodated all of us quite well. Since we were all adult couples, the bunk rooms were less valuable to us than in groups with children. Rooms were not large, but fine for our purposes. The multiple kitchen and living area arrangement was nice for smaller groups splintering into different areas. The kitchens were well equipped. The house is located in a convenient area, (to beach, food, liquor store, cliff walk) but not necessarily bucolic, with consistent street bustle evident throughout the day. Heidi was attentive and helpful. Overall, a very nice option for large groups seeking convenience and cleanliness!

Great house for large party
This house was in prime location- very short walk to the beach, and a short car ride into town. We had a large party stay at the house and there was plenty of beds and bedrooms. It had 3 kitchens, which is a huge convenient if you have a large party. The lawn area is very spacious- great set up for lawn games! I would definitely stay here again the next time I’m in Newport!

Disappointing
This home has great potential. However, it is in disrepair. Seemed like everything needed attention: burnt out light bulbs or not-working overhead lights. Leaking faucets, broken toilet seat, terrible furniture (including the beds), really dirty drawers and cabinets, old food on utensils and spatulas, water damage in the ceilings of main level that looks like it is about to cave in on your head. We did contact owner about issues - he was responsive by sending the contact info of a handyman and asking me to communicate directly with him. After multiple phone calls, texts and visits by the handyman, I gave up and decided to try to enjoy my time off instead of overseeing maintenance that should have been done prior to the arrival of paying guests. We knew the house wouldn't be "fancy" or high-end, and that's not what we were looking for. But it would be nice if there were SOME effort made toward the guests' comfort. We loved the area and had a great time together, but were really disappointed in the state of this property.

This is a totally false review. From an extremely demanding renter who’s first phone call was about bird poop on the Adirondack chair and asked for someone to come out to clean it. We did send out the handyman immediately. She contacted us on at least 10 occasions. This is the message that she left initially which I am cutting and pasting when her brother in law came in 2 -3 hours early from the normal check in time. “On way from Logan, we are super excited for a great week in Newport. Hi again my brother and his family beat us there and they are in love with the house. But downstairs unit is 84 degrees - other 2 units the ac is kicking. He tried to get it going with no luck. Any suggestions?” We immediately sent our handyman out and the air conditioner was just not turned on. Before her arrival she asked about an early check in and this is our reply: “The cleaning people need the time to clean... if anything changes we will let you know or you can text us a couple of days before but as of now we need to keep at 4:00” They continued to call about menial things such as a light bulb that was out to a spatula that was dirty. All our furniture is in great condition and is updated every few years. To be quite honest our handyman was there daily and said that they were very happy. He is very responsive. She mentioned something about the beds. We noticed after she departed one of the beds on the lower floor had damage to the frame. This maybe what she was talking about. We have since replaced both beds in that room with new frames and mattresses so they would match. One toilet seat was loose and was repaired immediately. This review is very upsetting to us as we take great pride in our home. We suspect she probably left this review because she wants a credit on her rental. We have never gotten a negative review. In fact the last renter told us it was more beautiful than what they expected.

Perfect Experience!
We recently rented The Beach House to house 28 of our close friends in town for our wedding. This house was pure perfection from the moment we arrived through our checkout. The owners have decorated the house beautifully and the home itself is extremely well equipped for a large group. There is plenty of privacy, bathroom space, and ample room for gathering together. To have a backyard in this area while also being across the street from the beach is a rare find. Our family and friends could not stop raving. The owners provide plenty of towels and linens to house a large group, which makes one less thing to pack. There is ample air conditioning as well as countless balcony areas to enjoy the breeze. We can’t say enough how wonderful our experience was and we hope to rent again in the future. Small improvements as suggestions would be to update the backyard furniture which is dated and prone to breaking. The picnic table and table and chairs, however, were perfect in combination with the large grill for cookouts. 10/10!

Filled our needs. We were able to satisfy the needs of families and singles. Short walk to beach
More or less what we expected. Three levels provided privacy for families with small children and single adults. The bedrooms were small. There were plenty of bathrooms. It was difficult to get everyone together because of the floor plan. The beds and couches were not comfortable. All the appliances worked fine. I would stay there again

Perfect house and location for family reunion!
We had a family reunion in early September for people flying in from all over the country. The layout of the house was perfect so that we could both spread out and also be together. Plenty of bathrooms and a nice outdoor shower were great conveniences. The back yard was also a great place to have a clambake for everyone! The house is right by both First Beach and the Cliff Walk and since many of the guests had never been to Newport, it was very easy to take advantage of those sites. On the weekend, we took an Uber into downtown Newport as parking was difficult. There were loads of drivers and rates were very reasonable. The owner was very communicative and genuinely interested in making sure our stay went well. I would definitely rent this house again!

Great house and location for family reunion!
The home is set up to accommodate a large group of people while still offering privacy and plenty of bathroom facilities. The owners and their representatives were helpful and responsive to any requests or questions we had. Backyard was perfect for large group entertaining and proximity to the beach was a plus.

Perfect home for a family reunion
We thoroughly enjoyed the location of the house to downtown, the beach, restaurants; walking distance but far enough away to be separated from the fast-pace of downtown Newport during the summer. Our blended family had a fantastic week making memories. Thank you for opening your wonderfully comfortable, amenity-full house to us. We will return!

Fantastic Three-Story Beach House
We stayed at this Beach House for 10 nights during our participation in a yacht race in Newport, all the way from Japan. In short, our stay was incredibly comfortable. We were a group of 13 adults, and the three-story layout with private spaces was very convenient. Here's how we used the rooms: 3rd floor: 1 single room (team owner), 1 single room (guest), and 1 room with 2 bunk beds (2 females). 2nd floor: 1 single room (1 male), 1 twin room (2 males), and 1 room with 2 bunk beds (2 males). 1st floor: 1 single room (1 male), 1 twin room (2 males), and an extra bed in the living room (1 male). The backyard was lovely, and we had three BBQs during our stay, which everyone enjoyed. We prepared meals in the 2nd-floor kitchen and mostly dined there. Some of us watched movies on the 3rd floor using the projector. That's how we utilized the three floors. There's a liquor shop right next door, and we frequented it almost daily. There's also a pizza place on the other side, where we got takeout a few times. Additionally, there are several restaurants within walking distance, and we visited them multiple times. The BEACH HOUSE offers a view of the sea, especially from the rooftop. For us, who came for the yacht race, it was truly the perfect accommodation. Communication with the house owner was smooth, and we had no worries during our 10-night stay. Thank you very much.
