About this apartment rental

Hello! I have a beautiful turn-of-the-century Victorian with a gorgeous huge walk-through garden, back patio and balcony. This is a fully legal registered short term rental (RE.03430-STR).

The second floor would be effectively all yours, and is quite large for a two bedroom*. The living room and dining room are separate, and there are even pocket-doors to close them off, in case you and your group are up to different things at the same time. It has a large eat-in kitchen and off-street parking too.

This place has tons of charm and character. It has great dark-stained wood trim throughout, with crown molding and other detail you just don't see anymore in houses built less than a hundred years ago. It has a huge old-school walk-in pantry full of classic built-ins, including a legitimate "ice-box" from before there was refrigeration! And yes, "character" is also code for "it has a few quirks" - if you're from, or have travelled in New England before, you know what this means, and it's better than most. If you'd like to know more about quirks, just ask!

Neighborhood features:
-- Two to three blocks away
• Narragansett Bay
• Swimming pier
• Beautiful park w/ magnificent sunsets
• Small beach with a little sand & rocks to climb around on - good for a quick easy dip, no lifeguard, flat water

-- 8-10 blocks
• Beautiful neighborhood w/ dozens of historic colonial-era homes
• Another pier and big water-side park with paths & nice walking bridge to Goat Island
• Newport Shipyard, home of Belle's Cafe & some magnificent ship viewing
• Beginning of Downtown Newport, harbor walk & Perrotti Park (ferry & water taxi terminal)
• Newport Gateway Center, hub for trolley network & terminal for out-of-town busses
• About an eight minute walk for most people (10-12 if you are taking in sights, have small kids, or are walking slowly for any reason)

Notes:
• EV owners: I have a 50-amp charger on-site w/ a J-connector & can lend a Tesla adapter
• Sailing: I own a 22' trimaran; I love to take guests sailing when it works out, but it's not guaranteed. I do not charge for this, see below for more details.

Special amenities (free; renter assumes all responsibility):
• Bicycles: I have several cruiser bicycles available for guest use
• Kayak: I have a two-person sit-on-top kayak w/ a dolly that you can walk over to the bay and go for a paddle/explore Newport harbor

Sailing: I am happy to take renters sailing, with a couple of caveats: This is not a part of the rental. My boat is very fast, so conduct and physical ability are a factor in safety. I have taken many guests sailing and it has always worked out well, but I am not a licensed captain. Please ask in advance for additional details if this interests you.

Discounts: For 4-5 day stays, I may be able to offer a discount. For 2-3 day stays on non-holiday weekends, I may be able to offer additional days at a discount - please inquire!

* My unit is two-story, 4-bedroom, 2-bath. According to Newport short term rental laws, I am limited to renting out 2 bedrooms to up to 4 people. During the summer I am generally able to avoid the common areas on the second floor. Please inquire if you have questions!

We had never been to Newport and wanted someplace in walking distance to the downtown but also charming. This place hit all of our needs. We enjoyed the garden area for our morning coffee. It was a beautiful little oasis. Avram was very easy to communicate with and checked in on us to make sure everything was going well. He even changed out the charging station so that my friend could easily charge her hybrid car. I highly recommend this place and would stay here again if I come back to Newport!

We had a lovely stay with Avram in his Victorian house. The garden was a delight to sit in both in the morning for coffee and in the evening for dinner. The neighbourhood is quiet, but a comfortable walk to downtown and the wharves. Avram was very easy to communicate with as our host. Highly recommended.

This is definitely an old house and it shows but that is exactly what is advertised. Kitchen and bathroom have been updated and look great. Floors in living room/dining room refinished. Great location. Great driveway parking. If you don’t mind the quirks of an old house this place is great. And the host was very pleasant and helpful.

Some friends and I rented Avram’s place for the 4th of July long weekend. His house and garden look just as described, and is located in a beautiful neighborhood which is very walkable. Avram was a very attentive host and was available when needed. As a plus, he took our group sailing around the bay on the 4th, which was a wonderful treat for the holiday. I would definitely stay again.

The second-floor apartment was very well equipped with everything we needed. The kitchen and bathroom were updated nicely. The air conditioners kept us cool. We were maybe a 10 minute walk to the center of town, and a 5 minute walk to the water. The mansions were a very quick drive, as was the beach. Avram was a gracious and responsive host. We visited with our two kids and the dog, and we all had a wonderful time. Would definitely stay again on our next visit to Newport!

Had a great stay again. Large, fully equipped and stocked apartment, in a charming house, in a beautiful, quiet historic neighborhood. The house has an incredible garden (it's actually part of the annual secret garden tour). Short walk to waterfront and downtown Newport. Avram is a great host, quick and accurate communication, accommodating of last minute request. Will stay again next time we're in Newport.

Went to Newport for the Jazz Festival and Avram's place was perfect. In a quiet neighborhood, easy walking distance to food/shopping and the water taxi to Fort Adams. Highly recommend.

The house in an old house but well maintained. The apartment was clean, comfortable and fully stocked - and I mean stocked -- tons of kitchen stuff, spices, coffee filters. All we needed to bring was the food. The apartment was also very quiet, the neighborhood safe, off street parking. Our host was gracious, informative, and very knowledgeable about the area. He was highly responsive for any questions that came up. The neighborhood is very dog friendly, our two were very happy at the nearby park.
