About this house rental
Araminta on Thames "Minty" is an updated and spacious vacation home located on Thames Street. Great spot for large groups (but no rowdy parties, sorry). 4 bedrooms + extra comfy twin cot for 9th guest. 1st floor master bedroom and bath. Kitchen table seats 8. Two family rooms. 2 1/2 bathrooms. Private backyard with fire pit, she shed and lighted gazebo. Enclosed front porch w/seating for morning coffee. Perfect location...Walking distance to shops, restaurants, parks & mansions.
Parking: Our guests park directly on Thames right in front of the house but if there are more than 2 cars then it will not be easy to find free parking. There are many lots that offer overnight and/or 24 hour parking. Newport is exceptionally busy in season and parking is limited so best to car pool whenever possible.

We had two families stay at the house and it worked perfect for us. It was clean and had everything we needed. Loved that we could walk everywhere.
We would stay again!

This property is in a prime location, super clean and charming, and was able to accommodate 7 ladies more than comfortably. The host was wonderful in proving recommendations and checked with us to make sure we had everything we needed during our stay. Highly recommend!

Experience in the house with my friends was fabulous! I was able to communicate with Karina as often as I needed and she was always available. There were six of us and the bedrooms were large, comfortable, clean and cozy! Our power did go out one night but that unfortunately has to do with air conditioning units being on, and I also would imagine CPAP machines! Lol. It was a great location less than a mile from town and on a beautiful day you could probably walk or ride your bike there. I would recommend this wonderful home to a group of people or family!

My family, including several generations, stayed in this home for the weekend while in town for a wedding. The home was clean, beds were comfortable, and it had everything we needed. The owners were helpful and responsive. It's a beautiful home.

The property manager was great and responded promptly. The house was fine for our use. It could’ve used a few things to make it more comfy, such as throw blankets. The kitchen chairs were very uncomfortable. The chairs are all metal and made hanging around the table not fun. The backyard, while usable could use some improvement. The table and outdoor chairs were great for hanging out and there was a nice canopy. The lunge chairs were ok. The fire pit is unusable.

We had a great time at this house! We had two families, both with small children and there was room for all of us. Great location for getting places in town too! The host was very responsive to our questions as well.

Exactly what was advertised!
Our group of four friends enjoyed our stay very much. The weather was hot, but the individual room air conditioners made it very comfortable. The host was very friendly and quick to communicate with. We would definitely stay at Araminta on Thames again if we visited Newport.

Perfect spot for a group!
My friends and I stayed here for 3 days when we came to Newport for a wedding and it was perfect. We were a group of 4 couples and 1 other friend and the space worked well for all of us. All the beds were comfortable, including the 1 person cot which is in one of the bedrooms. The sheets & blankets were so great we even asked the host where she gets them ha! There was an abundance of linens, towels and kitchen needs like glassware, plates & silverware. We all really enjoyed the backyard space and the sun room at the front of the house was perfect place to drink coffee in the morning. The location was stellar. A lot of easily accessible stores and cafes. The host is very communicative and made sure we were enjoying our stay. She even checked in on us after a huge storm that knocked out power on the block but luckily we didn’t lose electricity. I definitely recommend this property if you’re visiting Newport. It was a beautiful home and had everything we needed.

Family stayed for Easter weekend and that races on the beach. Great stay, walked into town for restaurants and bars. Parking nearby on road, didn't prove to be hard to find.
House is clean and well stocked and nice garden in the back for chillaxing. Kitchen was a good size for all of us to mingle at (6) and the two sitting rooms at the front of the house allowed us to separate and do our own thing as well.

Beautiful property with many upgrades, thoughtful design, and lots of extras (towels, linens, silverware). Just as described in the listing! The beds were comfortable and there were a ton of pillow options. We loved the location and were able to find parking consistently for one car. Two cars was sometimes difficult and we’d have to park further down the street. We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful escape for a few days!
Our family lives in RI but wanted to be tourists in Newport for a few days. The house is in a perfect location to be able to walk to everything on Thames and the surrounding areas. The house was immaculate and had everything we could possibly need. Karena was so nice and proactively let us know about events that were happening during our stay. Excellent communication and rental experience!
