About this apartment rental
“This historic Victorian was once home to Admiral William Sowden Sims (past President of the Naval War College in Newport Rhode Island) which inspired the name of our accommodations, but now features King bed Studios with Kitchenette and fireplace including private baths, Cable TV, Air-Conditioning, Free Wi-Fi, and Free off-street parking.
It’s perfect for government / military per diem travel or for teleworkers who need a change of scenery.
The garden is private....yet just minutes away, you’re in the center of Newport’s many activities, historical attractions, fine restaurants, ocean beach, and unique shops. At the end of each day, you’ll return to sleep in quiet, historic settings.

Admiral Sims house was so charming and quaint.
Our room was beautiful, clean and peaceful. Super high ceilings and natural light. The bed was sooo comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay. Marie and Shelley were a pleasure. We were walking distance to everything if you do t mind walking 15 min. We would definitely book the Admiral Sims house again.

We were in Newport for a wedding, and Admiral Sims House was a perfect complement to our needs for the trip. Our hosts were extremely accommodating by letting us check in early, and the room was exactly as depicted on the VRBO website. While we did not stay long enough to utilize many of the amenities of the property, it is clear that the hosts have listened to feedback from guests and done their best to make your stay comfortable and easy. It was very nice to start our morning with in-room coffee, and then to sit in the gazebo outside and enjoy a snack before leaving. We plan to be back!

My daughter and I stayed one night at the Admiral Sims' House and it was wonderful! Excellent communication! Very welcoming and helpful, allowing us to check in early and great recommendations for dinner. Room was beautiful, clean and spacious. Great location and parking. Easy walk to the Cliff Walk and could easily walk up to town if we weren't so tired from taking on the full walk. Great stay!!! Thank you so much!

We stayed in the Ocean Room for 2 night on Catherine St. Everything was perfect! Very clean, great location. We didn’t eat breakfast because we actually slept in. It’s been a long time for us to sleep with a window opened….we’re from Louisiana…lol

We stayed for one night and want to go back for a week or more!! The Homeaway is in a pretty neighborhood, within walking distance of the beach or downtown Newport! On the grounds, the Homeaway had a beautiful Gazebo which made for the perfect opportunity to enjoy the warm summer night air. Our room, the Newport was perfect, very comfortable/ picturesque. Did not meet the management in person which wasn’t a problem because they have an easy check in system. Management was readily available through a brief phone call and texts, very accommodating. We can’t say enough nice thing about the Homeaway, it was a perfect alternative to a 5 star hotel.

Booked this property last minute to come into Newport for the tennis tournament. We found a great rate for this location (not normal for July in Newport), so we assumed there had to be a catch. We were wrong. The property was lovely. The room was so cute and had everything we needed. It had the convenience and luxury of a high-end hotel, but with the quaintness of a B&B. The location was within walking distance to everything - but without being in the chaos of the center of town. The host stayed in communication with us the entire time to make sure we had a smooth check-in and a pleasant trip. Excellent stay!

My son and I came into Newport to watch some tennis matches. We were able to park at our VRBO and walk everywhere we wanted to go, including the Tennis matches, Cliff walk and downtown restaurants. The house is in a beautiful quiet neighborhood and the room is perfect for a short stay. It has a kitchenette and a very comfortable bed. Also, there was fresh fruit and baked goods in the morning and Keurig machine. Also, beach towels and umbrellas in case you need them. I highly recommend this place!!

The Admiral Sims House is the perfect place to stay and relax in Newport! The amenities are generous and the rooms are 5 Star level! The bathroom had everything you could need from full-size shampoo and conditioner to great body wash and makeup towels. The room was spacious with a fireplace and seating and had a well-stocked kitchenette! The room and bathroom are IMMACULATELY clean. The closet is big with plentiful velvety-flocked hangers. Staying here is a treat that should not be missed! We walked everywhere- even to and from Goat Island! Don't miss a chance to enjoy your vacation from the Admiral Sims House! In the lobby, there are beach towels and umbrellas as well as all of the guides and info you would need for a great vacay and sightseeing! Book this place, now!

Check In was super easy. Owners are kind and responsive. The light breakfast offered each morning was very helpful and delicious. We slept well here! We ended up spending much of our time down by the wharf and Thames street which would have been a 16-20 min walk from this place. With the hills this was not doable with all the other walking we did each day exploring Newport so we drove to the transportation and parked there at the beginning of each day.

Me and girlfriend had a great stay, the process of checking in and out was very easy and not distracting, the room was just as shown in the photos and included A/C and wifi among other amenities, we were able to walk both to the beach and into town for dinner, over all 10/10 we will be back!

The area was nice and quite. We were a nice 15 minute walk to the center of Newport. The host made things very inviting by also providing a nice little assortment of breakfast snacks in the morning. Will definitely look forward to returning to this rental in the future.
