Short getaway with my husband and our dog
We had a great 2 night stay in Middleton RI. The unit was perfect for my husband, our rescue black lab and myself. We will definitely book again.

Great Spot Near Newport
My husband, pup, and I stayed at our cottage for three nights and it was the perfect space for a long weekend getaway. The location is very convenient to Newport and right next to Newport Winery. Already hoping to come back in the future!

Quick Visit to Newport
The property was great and lots of places to walk my dog. I liked the location, next to the vineyard and easy drive to downtown Newport. My only minor complaint was that I went to the guest services to talk to them about the ants in the kitchen (it rained a lot so I understand ants can happen) and they said they would treat the kitchen that afternoon and they never showed up.

In downstairs bathroom to find painter staring in window while scraping paint. Then painters had tarp over entrance while we were trying to pack car (train not to paint unit with car in driveway). Charged 25 dollars for a home made laminated, printed parking pass that we forgot to put back in unit! ( just use a throw away paper pass!!?… duh!) We sent parking pass back to office via mail, see if we actually get reimbursed.

Great family getaway
We had a wonderful stay. Management and staff were very friendly and helpful. The cottage was clean, bright and very nice to stay in. We do a lot of cooking and the kitchen had just about everything we needed to make our meals with ease - much more than most vacation kitchens. The only things I missed having were a baking/roasting dish and a covered dish to store leftovers. Otherwise, we made all our meals with ease. The bed was comfortable and the shower was nice & clean. The grounds were very nice and it was fun to say hi to the dogs who were staying there when we were out for walks. All the owners picked up after their dogs so we enjoyed nice walks on the grounds. My 10 year old enjoyed the pool and we had a wonderful family stay.

Clean and Comfy
The property was as described - although I thought we'd be in a single unit - we were in a duplex (hence the 4 stars on accuracy of online listing). Very clean - necessities (towels, linens, few coffee pods, coffee maker) provided. Wish there'd been more information/recommendations available (in print) regarding surrounding area and restaurants, things to do. The area is pretty noisy (for us - we live in the country) and seems that yardwork started pretty darn early :-). We had no contact with owners/managers and were able to enter without any issues. Loved the Cliff Walk and some of the local beaches just for walking. We brought our dog - she enjoyed the visit as well!

A great location for a Getaway
My partner and I rented the property to explore Newport and welcome the new year in a beautiful place. The unit is pretty and well-stocked. It is the size of a large tiny home and suited both of us well. We are both tall people (I am 6-6 and she is 5-11) and were more than accommodated by the bed, shower, and counter stools. Past the house itself, the location gives excellent access to the beaches, the tennis hall of fame, and some great local eateries. I 100% recommend it.
