Hosts and their guests are encouraged to enjoy the large backyard into the evening. One of our core values is to be a good neighbor. We extend this 5-star experience to you, our guests, as well as our neighbors. This means we have a zero-tolerance policy for late night parties. Middletown’s noise ordinance starts at 10pm every day of the week. Activities must come inside and windows should be closed if volume will impact our neighbors and their children. Thank you for respecting our island community, and our commitment to be a good neighbor.

A Middletown town ordinance limits guests to 2 adults per bedroom. Additional children are allowed. This rental is properly registered with the state, and the town and receives an annual town inspection.

For your safety the space is equipped with smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors. There is also a flashlight, first aid kit, and fire extinguisher located under the kitchen sink. An additional fire extinguisher can be found immediately inside the basement door. Cleaning supplies now remain available to guests during their stay.

A full-size washer and dryer are available in the downstairs bathroom.

No smoking or vaping of any kind is allowed in the house. If you wish to smoke, please do so in the backyard at least 20 feet from the doors and windows. Please safely extinguish and throw out your butts in the outside trash.

All of the TV's in the house operate on an Amazon Fire Stick. We maintain paid access to Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu's premium service which includes great on demand and live content. Guests are welcome to login to services like Netflix with their own credentials if they prefer to. The Amazon Fire Stick home screen makes this intuitive and easy.

You'll have the whole house all to yourself.

Keypad entry allows for contactless check-in and check-out. Pre COVID, Claire and I made every effort to welcome guests in person. Now, we ask guests in advance if they would prefer to meet us, or not.

We live about one mile away. Guests are welcome to reach out with questions about the Newport area.
We know that people like to come to Newport to have fun (it's part of why we love Newport). This is a house for large groups. It is not a house for loud late night parties. In the same way that we all value keeping our oceans clean of plastic, we ask you to help keep our community quiet at night so that we can all rest and enjoy the day to come.

Summer traffic in Newport can be the worst. Uber and Lyft are recommended for evenings out downtown. Once you're downtown, don't forget that a pedicab is usually a great option to get around that area. Make sure to carry cash because they operate on tips only.
