CHIC 3BR Ap. on Thames St deck free parking
Stayed here with three of my friends for a girl’s weekend. The location was perfect! We were able to walk to all the restaurants and most attractions. The space was actually bigger than we anticipated based on the photos. We will definitely be coming back to Newport and this rental is at the top of our list.

Charming Beach Cottage with Stunning Ocean Views!!
We loved our weekend getaway at Nichole’s place :) She was proactive and made sure we had everything we needed. The condo was clean and worked for the five of us. Would definitely stay here again.

Marina on the Sakonett
Had a fabulous stay at Jennifer’s Airbnb. It was the perfect location for us to spend Christmas with our family. Easy access to highway to get anywhere in Rhode Island or nearby Massachusetts. Jennifer was very responsive to any of my questions. I would definitely book again for future trips back to visit my family.

Jennifer’s Historic Downtown Loft
I can’t say enough about this host and their properties. I have stayed twice with this host and it doesn’t get any better than Jennifer. The property was perfect and prime location. Jennifer is a tremendous host. She communicated with detailed instructions prior to arriving, during my stay, and was flexible with everything! Thank you for sharing your space and for your hospitality. Anytime I am in Providence I will definitely be back.

The location on the Harbor w/ prkng
Jay, Thank you for your clear and open communication. We appreciated your assistance with activities, restaurants and grocery needs. Your apartment was perfect for our little winter getaway. Hope to visit again in another season soon. Sincerely, Sheila & Michael

Luxury 7BR/4BA Rental on Thames St | Parking
Awesome space. Great to have both units if you have a larger group. Zelda’s was pretty centrally located to everything, plus having the bar downstairs was great for a night cap. Great hosts and communicators when we needed something. Would highly recommend this property and stay at their property again.

Barefoot Bungalow - Beachfront Vacation Home
My family and another spent a long weekend at this great beach front cottage. Kids enjoyed the cozy loft and the parents each had a bedroom. It was the fall so water was cold but we found plenty to do in the area. Great restaurant just down the street Matunuck Oyster Bar was amazing highly recommend.

Private Waterfront Home on Narragansett Bay!
The home was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and peaceful. The water views from the primary bedroom and porch are absolutely stunning. We appreciated the recommendations provided by the hosts and all the amenities this home offered….nothing was missed, from extra plush blankets to small kitchen appliances…this home has it all! The purpose of our stay was to visit our daughter at Brown. The commute between the home and college hill is relatively short…less than a 30 minute drive. We enjoyed the peaceful neighborhood where the home is located. Being removed from the “hustle and bustle” of downtown Providence was a plus. We would definitely be interested in staying in this home again during future visits!

Modern Home w/ Pool & Game Room | Mins to Newport
Our stay in Middletown was an incredible experience! Dan’s place was clean, spacious, and perfect for gathering friends and family. We appreciated all the hangout spaces (game room is incredible) around the home, with plenty of space for everyone to enjoy! We were so impressed with the amenities provided such as the fully stocked kitchen & coffee bar. Their outdoor setup looks incredible and we can’t wait to visit in the summer to utilize that space. The location was perfect as it’s a short car ride to downtown Newport. Dan was responsive and proactive and we were extremely impressed with his professional communication. Don’t miss out on this wonderful getaway in the ocean state!

East Greenwich Waterfront Gem
The house was wonderful. The view from both decks, looking over the water, is beautiful and peaceful. The layout of the house is great with each of the two bedrooms having a sitting space for earlier risers to sit and read or to watch TV. Beds were amazing (firm and plush all in one). Showers and baths were newly renovated and water pressure great. Convenient to many towns and restaurants and we explored them all.

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!

Oceanfront overlooking Newport Cliff Walk
I was there with my daughters and granddaughter. We felt so at home and it was warm and welcoming. We could walk to the shore right in front of the house and enjoy the view and the breakers up close and personal! It is close the Mansions, which we could also see right across the water. We were able to drive to the Breakers and the cliff walk within minutes! It was a lovely time. Thank you Kathleen!

Tranquil Lakeside House with backyard & dock.
This home was absolutely how it was described. Plenty of room for us and the finished basement with an extra bedroom, wet bar, huge flat screen, and a comfy couch was a bonus! My grandchildren hung put downstairs while the adults sat around the table and played card games. We were intrigued by the beautiful yard and lake. Everyone wants to come back in the summer to hang by the fireplace and BBQ on the deck. This is definitely one of my favorite Airbnb!! Joshua was very accommodating and responded quickly to my messages. Absolutely a beautiful place!!

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!

Overall, we definitely would stay again!

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.

Luxury, Newport Harbor Condo with Water View
My sisters and I enjoyed a fabulous visit to Newport, RI after almost a decade of being away from New England. Coming off season was delightful - fewer crowds, happy merchants and service people, great restaurants and shops still open and available. Our condominium had private, reserved parking (two spots). The building felt safe and secure. The elevator to the top floor unit was very helpful with our luggage and belongings. Each of us enjoyed the pleasure of having our own bedrooms and bathrooms to use. Newport is very walkable. Once the car was parked in the garage, we only had to take it out once to do a scenic drive. Otherwise there was plenty of strolling, shopping and restaurants within walking distance. Starbucks was a short walk from the condo and opened at 5:30am each morning. I was the sister elected to be the early bird to walk to get coffee for the group. I felt safe and enjoyed the pre-dawn walk in the crisp, cool Fall air. Fabulous vacation, thanks!

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

Hidden Newport gem! Waterfront, close to town!
Elle was a great host, Took the family to Newport for a little winter break and we could not have asked for a better place to stay. Place is just Fabolous!

Gorgeous Luxury Apartment Across from Beach
We stayed the week after Labor Day, when everything shuts down for the season. That was the perfect time to be there for us because we wanted a quiet place away. It would NOT be quiet during peak season, but you couldn't find a better location to walk over to Scarborough Beach. The deck was our favorite part: the view, lounge chairs, the wall making it somewhat private to the street. We were not there in the heat of the summer, so we didn't use the window AC unit. The ceiling fan in the main room, and ocean breezes, kept things very comfortable. Not sure how the AC would work in heat, it's in the middle of the space, but in the hallway connecting the bedroom to the front room. Things to be aware of: the view comes from the 2nd floor, so you will have to go up a flight of stairs to a platform to the 3 units. The bedroom is above the main door, so you will hear people going in and out. The unit very spacious. Bright, comfortable, beautiful sunrises.

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! :)
