Our family recently rented this home for our annual family beach vacation. The home was absolutely wonderful in every regard ~ comfort, very clean and well-maintained, well equipped, and a great location. The beds were so comfortable!! In addition, the host was so helpful and always accessible. This is truly a 5 star property!

Julie—thanks so much for sharing your house—“Be on the Beach” – for our 3 generation family (6 adults and 4 kids) vacation this past week. The house is fabulous, very clean, with great views and has everything needed for a super beach vacation—abundant bath, kitchen and beach towels, plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas etc. Plus, a new deck and outdoor shower. And being just a short walk to First/Easton’s Beach was huge as we could go back and forth multiple times a day depending on which kids were tired or hungry, who needed to get out of the sun etc. It was an easy walk to several restaurants and a great ice cream shop, and a short drive to Newport, Brenton Point for kite flying, and the Sachuest Point wildlife refuge. The basement was also a hit for the 2 older kids—almost 7. After a day at the beach, they could play down there with all sorts of toys. We had terrific weather the whole week until late Friday afternoon—some rain and a lightning show over the mansions across the way. All in all, a great vacation—we all said we would love to come back again. Thanks so much.

I highly recommend booking this property, it's right on the beach, super clean, with comfy beds. We were there for a bachelorette weekend with 11 girls and it did not feel too tight. It's just a 10 minute uber into Newport and close to the wineries. Julie was super responsive and lives next door if anything comes up. Also, love the front porch!

We celebrated a 50th birthday with a group of 10 moms. This location was incredible. The bedding was beautiful, the kitchen is perfectly appointed with everything you need, all the bedrooms have closets and dressers, and the family room is comfortable for gathering. The view from 2 sides of the house is ocean and breathtaking. You can see the path to the beach from the back of the house, a few minutes walk away. The host was welcoming and made checkin easy. The house is a short easy walk to the start of the cliff walk. You could also walk to downtown Newport, but it would be about 2 miles. We drove in and found parking downtown when we wanted to go. This property is a must stay for a beach getaway.

Seven of us were in Newport for a family wedding. The house was perfect for us, clean and comfortable. We loved the location and spent so much time walking the neighborhood and enjoyed the cliff walk right from the house. Excellent communication with the owner. Don't hesitate, book it!

Our stay was just what we needed. We were looking for rest and relaxation. It was my birthday weekend in the beginning of March, with my adult children and even though the weather wasn't the best, the stay was amazing. Everything you need for food, shopping, hikes, etc., was so close by. The house was immaculate and the indoor fireplace was so cozy. We were low key and just played cards, board games, and watched movies. All were right there and easily accessible, as well as WiFi.

This house is very pretty, in a great location, steps from the beach and very clean! Cleanliness is important to our family and we appreciated how comfortable and maintained the home is. It unfortunately rained the whole duration of our stay, but the cozy fireplace and ease of being together in the home made it so enjoyable. The bedding was fresh and smelled lovely. The kitchen and bathrooms are supplied with everything we needed for our stay. Even having makeup remover wipes In the little jars in the bathroom were a thoughtful and appreciated touch! Julie was responsive and made the check in and out process seamless. The directions were clear and easy to follow for the care of the home . We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be definitely renting from Julie again ! Five stars !

What a lovely place! For once I didn't have to spend so much time packing, loading, unpacking, etc. Julie supplied everything! Sheets, towels, beach towels, dish towels, sponges, paper towels, toilet paper, crock pot, etc. It made my vacation easy! Great view, easy access to beach, and loads of things to do. Communication, check-in, check-out was also very easy. Thank you Julie for a lovely vacation spot!!

Julie's house is lovely and situated with a great view of 1st Beach/Easton's Beach and the Cliff Walk across the water. It is also in walking distance of places to eat in or grab milk and such in Middletown. And it is about a 35-minute walk to Newport.
Unfortunately, the weather was not great "beach weather," but we enjoyed the relaxed days, time spent exploring Newport and the Gilded Age mansions, the International Tennis Center and Museum, and various walks, including the wonderful Cliff Walk.
Julie gave us good tips for places to eat and wisely recommended making dinner reservations well ahead of time! The house was well stocked with essentials like paper towels, toilet paper, and tissues, as well as beach towels, chairs, etc. The basement--with pool and ping pong tables--was nicer than it looks from the photos and provided good rainy day options.
Thanks to Julie for being a wonderful host of a great house! Double thumbs up!

We had a wonderful family getaway at Easton’s Point. The house is beautiful, amazingly clean and very well equipped. We wanted for nothing during our stay. Julia was extremely pleasant and responsive and made checking in and checking out a breeze. The views of the beach and water were beautiful. We would stay at Easton’s Point again without hesitation!

Excellent location, house, and host
Our high expectations from the reviews and pictures were somehow exceeded. Julie was a perfect host and has an immaculate, beautiful home. Great location right next to the beach. Can easily drive or do a 1.5-2mile walk into downtown Newport or the cliff walk (closer to one mile). Would highly recommend and would love to stay here again!

Perfection!
A group of ten women stayed at Julie’s property and had an incredible time. The property was in perfect shape and it had the most beautiful view of the ocean and beach. The flow from the kitchen into the dining and then living room worked really well for us when hanging out. Julie made our stay even more wonderful with her tips and helpful suggestions. I hope to come back and stay with my family as she is fully stocked with everything needed for a family and beach vacation. Thanks again!!
