Charming Beach Cottage with Stunning Ocean Views!!
For us the location was perfect. My daughter ran the Newport marathon and the logistics were great for both her as a participant and us as spectators. It made the whole experience stress free. The accommodations were fantastic allowing us to make home made meals versus a restaurant situation. All in all a great arrangement for us.

Jennifer’s Historic Downtown Loft
The apartment was beautiful and clean. From the directions Jennifer gave us, we were able to find and get into the apartment easily. Also, it was a great location. It was about maybe a 7–10 minute walk to all the restaurants and the downtown area, and we were really close to the College Hill area. Nonetheless, I would highly recommend this place and definitely rebook!

The location on the Harbor w/ prkng
This is a fantastic location, walkable to everything in Newport. Parking is included and that is a huge benefit. The rental is ideal for a single person or a couple, and makes for an easy and convenient way to experience all that Newport has to offer. I would recommend without hesitation, and hope to be back again soon!

The Crows Nest - 1747 Isaac Pierce House 2nd Floor
We had a very comfortable relaxed stay! The space was clean and well equipped. The beds were soooo comfortable as was all the living room furniture! Craig was very responsive and accommodating to our schedule. We lived the location and made two visits to the close by Big Red slide and walked the beach! So close! I highly recommend this place and can’t wait to return.

One Bedroom in-law near beach with breakfast
I had an incredible experience staying at Monica and TJ’s place! From the moment I arrived, everything was seamless. The check-in process was smooth, and the home was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated. The location was perfect, making it easy to explore the area. The host was incredibly accommodating and responsive, ensuring I had everything I needed throughout my stay. The little touches, like [mention any standout amenities, e.g., complimentary snacks, extra towels, a well-stocked kitchen], made the experience even better. I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I’ll definitely be booking again in the future!

Downtown Waterfront Retreat with Historic Charm
Spacious, clean, and lovely apartment in great location in a beautiful town. Hosts were responsive, shower was great, and beds were comfortable, although light sleepers should know that the bedrooms are right up against the street. Loved the bike path and a lot of walk-to restaurants including SS Dion, Quito's, and Beehive Cafe.

Walk to the Heart of It All
This is a must-stay!! We had a wonderful time and Brandon and Danielle were wonderful hosts! The house was absolutely beautiful, had all of the amenities we needed, and was walking distance to downtown Newport. Brandon made sure we had a pack n play and high chair in house for our 17-month old which was so very helpful. He also responded to our texts within minutes. We will absolutely be back! Thank you Brandon and Danielle!

Water View Apartment in Historic Bristol, RI
What a magical air bnb. It was comfy, peaceful, well equipped and just so very homey. And the view is beyond words. The sunrise is literally over the water out of your window. Gorgeous! We will absolutely choose this one again when back in Rhode Island. Truly unforgettable space.

Private Waterfront Home on Narragansett Bay!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jackie and Rob’s place! We loved sitting on the porch enjoying the waterfront view. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. We took several walks in nearby Rocky Point Park. The home is beautiful with everything we needed for our stay. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

Historic Waterfront Home on the Sakonnet River
This place was so lovely! My mom and I had a lovely calm, relaxing vacation here! We cooked and ordered in and watched the boats on the water and took out the paddle board! Super easy to get it in the water and it was calm and easy to paddle up and down the river. I even saw a young sea turtle which was unbelievably special! Our host was communicative and accommodating and had great recommendations! I was able to walk to a local coffee shop that was excellent and very cute and another close by that have fun bubble teas and great breakfast food. Highly recommend!

Come relax at Lakeside Landing
Tonya's home was beautiful, relaxing, and very clean!!! The king bed mattress was hard but very comfortable. The area was very peaceful and relaxing. The lake looked beautiful however the weather wasn't conducive for us to use it. I would love to return when the weather is warmer to be able to enjoy the fire pit and boats that Tonya made available. My daughter and I brought our 14 month old with us and the house was perfect and safe for her to run around and play.

Waterfront Secluded Home with Dock
It is a beautiful, secluded home with a wonderful view of and access to the water on Potter's Pond. The house felt comfortable with a lot of thought for details - the kitchen was well-equipped, lots of pillows on the beds, high quality and a lot of towels in the closets, night-lights, puzzles and games. Made for a wonderful and comfortable stay. We definitely plan on trying to come back!

Oceanfront overlooking Newport Cliff Walk
We had such a good time at Kathleen’s! The location can’t be beat, the laid-back neighborhood, stunning views, and nearby beach was everything I could have hoped for. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Ocean Oasis with Water access
Comfortable house with nice layout downstairs. Beautiful view. Love the 2 decks and water front space. Very peaceful to drink coffee in the AM looking at the water. Rooms were spacious. Beds comfortable. Nice quiet neighborhood. Lucy quickly responds to questions.

Matunuck South Kingstown Beach house
The place was fantastic, clean and functional home and amazing view! Pablo communication was prompt and clear. Pablo and his sweet dog Luna were so welcoming and friendly and made us feel at home immediately! Highly recommended!

Beachfront W/ HotTub,Sauna, Pool & Panoramic view
Gary was an excellent host!!! The house was beautiful and great house for our family! Would stay there again! Our experience was absolutely amazing! Can’t go on enough how accommodating Gary was! Would recommend 😊

Boutique Hotel Special pricing available
I've been to Newport many times on day trips, but never for an overnight. My partner had never been to Rhode Island, so I thought it would be fun to stay in downtown Newport and explore while also visiting with family in Providence. Pelham Court could not be more convenient. Perfectly located across from the waterfront, the property is safe, secure and convenient. A big plus is off-street parking. Our one-bedroom unit was awesome. Spacious, well-appointed and very comfortable. Although we were in the middle of everything, we had peace and quiet. The Pelham Court team were awesome: responsive, friendly, helpful and ready to offer local insights, including when we just wanted to stay in and order pizza. I would highly recommend this as your Newport getaway that's close to everything. Great accommodations, great location, and great professional support.

August Newport Inn on Long Wharf, Waterfront Unit
Excellent unit with great view of the harbor. The unit and the inn itself is very clean and smells very fresh. The rooftop deck gives an amazing view of the sunset over the harbor. There is adequate/free parking at the inn as well as at the sister resort across the street. Walking distance from great restaurants and shopping complexes. Gary was quickly responsive to all my questions and provided excellent details for check ins etc. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Endeavour's Quarters in heart of historic Newport
I can't say enough about the amazing experience I had staying at Barton's and Suzanne's place. First, Barron responds quickly and goes above and beyond to assure your stay is pleasant, easy and that you're well informed on local sweet spots and activities. He was a pleasure to talk to, as always. When you arrive, you'll first smile at the curated way it is beautifully furnished with every comfort in mind. But, then you'll start to notice the special touches left to make you feel well taken care of. There was a basket of snacks, and water and soda in the refrigerator with a kind note saying to please help your self. Such a special appreciated touch to the make you feel welcome. The location is a few doors down from the Thames St. and easily walkable to Bowen's Wharf and many attractions. I had a wonderful t experience at Barton's place and plan to have the be my only choice for Newport. Enjoy, Kathy

Newport Onshore Resort Getaway
Beautiful location right on the marina in downtown Newport! The place was wonderful and just steps from all of the restaurants and shops in Newport!

Timeshare Rental. 3rd floor Condo w/ water view
We are so pleased with our stay which has a beautiful water view! It was so nice to see all the activities and beautiful boats passing by. The condo was clean and spacious and the bed was so so comfortable! We were in the heart of the downtown and were able to walk to the many shops, restaurants and fun activities happening around us! So much to do! We absolutely loved our stay and will hope to book this again. Marc thank you for being a great host! Very easy to check in and accommodations were excellent! :)

Wyndham Newport Overlook | 2BR/2BA King Bed Suite
Beautiful location and venue for a girl’s trip- easy access to Jamestown and Newport, plus plenty of space to chill! Would absolutely return ♥️

Ocean Front View! Wyndham Inn on Long Wharf Resort
Hamilton’s place has an amazing view and very comfortable! We especially loved to sit with coffee to stare out in the morning. It had all the amenities needed for our stay. He’s also very responsive and kindly answered my questions to help my stay more comfortable. It’s also very close to downtown - highly walkable. We enjoyed the pool and grill at the resort as well. We would love to come back!

Millie's-Historic New Bedford, 2BR, water views
