Harbor View Retreat in the heart of Newport

Newport Harbor home, located in the popular Yachting Village area with multiple decks and endless views. Unrivaled walkability and plenty of room for larger groups and families. Modern amenities and hardwood floors throughout make for an upscale home away from home. Venturing out into Downtown Newport and the surrounding area is easy from our central location. Four large bedrooms and two full baths on the 2nd and 3rd floor afford guests plenty of privacy and space.

The space

Hardwood floors throughout, with a large open kitchen for cooking and entertaining, as well as 3rd and 4th story decks primed for watching the sun set or the moon rise over Newport harbor.

Park your car in our driveway, along with three spaces around the corner and a guest pass for street parking (total of 5 spaces). We have cable TV with Amazon Fire Stick,and high speed Wi-Fi. We also have Amazon Alexa with Concierge service. You are a short walk or drive from the beach, and the Cliff Walk, Mansions, and some of the finest restaurants in Newport. We have one of Newport’s most spectacular roof top decks, with amazing views of Newport harbor and bridge.
Newport is a incredibly dynamic location, with more food, fun, and activities than anyone can appreciate in one visit—hint hint. From the mansions to the famous Folk Festival, the seafood to the shopping, this favorite Rhode Island gem is chock full of things to do.

Getting around

Most everything Newport is walkable from our location. Guests get parking passes to make the local driving experience easier. There are also trolley tours, taxis, ubers, and a bikeshare.

Gerard really looks after everthing!
4 friends had a wonderful time in Newport, visiting the mansions decorated for Christmas. This home was perfect. Walking distance to the mansions. Close to restaurants. All the extras we usually have to purchase for our rental were provided. I would 100% recommend this rental for your next visit to Newport. THANK YOU, Gerard.

Wedding of nephew
The house is wonderful-fully equipped, very well maintained and decorated nicely! My husband and I and our family of 4 adults came to Newport for my nephew's wedding. The house is so convenient to downtown yet tucked away and quiet. It has gorgeous views of the water and plenty of outdoor comfy seating on 2 levels. The location was perfect as everything we did-the welcome party, dinners and hair salons, and church were all within walking distance so everyone could come and go independently-we had a fun wedding and a terrific weekend getaway! Gerard was so easy to communicate with although we had no issues at all! thanks we'll be back to this heavenly spot soon!

Fantastic Rental
This home was perfect for our (3 couples) mini vacation to Newport following our nephew’s wedding in Massachusetts. First of all, the location is ideal. It is within walking distance of shops and excellent restaurants. There is parking for one car in the driveway as well as additional spaces just down the street. The townhouse itself is welcoming and spotless and has all the comforts of home. The beds are comfortable, and there are plenty of towels and bathroom supplies. We especially enjoyed the third-floor seating area to watch the sunset and enjoy appetizers before heading out for dinner. Our host, Gerard, reached out to us to make sure we had everything we needed and gave us a restaurant recommendation that was excellent. Thank you! The only negative is that our stay was too short! We highly recommend this rental!
