Matt and Shannon were great to work with. They went above what they had to do to help us with disability situation. House was in a great location. It's very modern, but quaint. Walking distance to beach and restaurants. We loved everything about it!

Wonderful location, fabulous and responsive hostess. Shannon could not have been more accommodating. Their home is clean, equipped with board games and so close to the cliff walk. Its a hop, skip and a jump from Newport. Cozy home, great location....what more could you ask for? Great stay. Thank you Shannon and Matt.

We enjoyed this home for a long weekend. The house was lovely and the backyard was relaxing. We were able to walk to First Beach and the Cliff Walk. It was a short drive to downtown Newport. Only wish we could have stayed longer.

This was our first time in Newport and we had a wonderful experience. This house is exactly as pictured, clean, beds are comfortable, location is close to beaches and 10 mins to downtown Newport. Perfect house for our needs. Only negative would be it’s a tad difficult to see when backing out of the driveway. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.

We stayed in this home for a long weekend with extended family of all ages for Salve Regina’s graduation weekend. We especially enjoyed the large, open concept kitchen, living room and dining area. We like to cook A LOT, so it was great to have everyone together while we prepared and ate meals. The beds were comfortable and the house was clean.
For me, it always helps to know what to expect when you arrive. This home is showing signs of being frequently rented. The carpets and upholstery have deep stains that don’t come out, and there is chipping paint in places. If you don’t mind some wear and tear, this house is a great value!
Also, the owners were VERY helpful in providing road construction updates and answering our questions.

Our family came to Newport to visit our daughter and husband from Missouri for a long weekend. This home was perfect for our family. It was extremely clean, very spacious and the location was amazing. All of the amenities we needed were included. Communication with the owners was excellent. Can’t wait to book this home again the next time we return to Rhode Island!!

My friends and I stayed here and it was a nice place! Newport is beautiful and this house was so close to everything.

Let me start by saying that this was our first time in Newport or Rhode Island for that matter. Once we arrived at the property, it was just a matter of figuring out where everything is. This place is a short distance from it all! First, the property has 3 bedrooms and a full bath on the main level along with a bedroom and 3/4 bath on the lower level. The house is clean and there were plenty of towels. Easy UBER to Thames Street where most of the restaurants and shops are. Dunkin Donuts and plenty of other cafe's area a mile away. The Cliff Walk is about .7 miles away as well. Two beaches less than a mile away. Great home for a reasonable price near Newport! Hosts are very accessible and answered all our questions. Thanks for a great vacation!

The most perfect house for your weekend in Newport
I can't say enough about this house! Newport isn't the cheapest place to find accommodations but this house was reasonable for the area, especially considering the location. It's a less than 10 minute Uber ride into downtown, walkable to the Cliff Walk and several fantastic restaurants. The house itself was updated, had a nice large kitchen and was incredibly spacious. I don't think I've ever noticed a lawn at a vacation house but it was beautifully manicured and stuck out to all of us. The only downside was the listing says there are three bathrooms but there is only two. That was fine for us but it should be advertised correctly. Can't wait to come back to this town and stay in this house again - I would recommend it to anyone.

Fantastic home for family wedding weekend!
Great home base for our family for our daughters Newport wedding!
With four good size bedrooms and two full baths plus great outdoor shower there was room all! Spacious fenced in yard for yard games and large picnic table to fit our family of eight comfortably. Great location, close to venue, restaurants and beaches. Sharon was a great host and we would definitely stay again on future trips to the area!

A lovely home, with an excellent use of space inside and a large beautiful back yard.
Thrilled to be in middletown, and have the opportunity to be in this beautiful home. Within walking distance of local bars, restaurants, and beaches. Able to get to all the Newport and Middletown points of interest. The house was clean and comfortable, with great wifi, and in a quiet neighborhood. (Exactly what we wanted) PERFECT for any family getaway. HUGE gated yard if you have kids that need to run and play. Would absolutely rent again!!!!

Charming beach home
Great location to beaches, downtown Newport, and Newport Polo field. The home is charming and spacious. The downstairs living space, bedroom and full bathroom was perfect for our teenagers. Although, it was very hot in the basement there is no AC. The outdoor shower was great to rinse off sand. Check in and out was extremely easy. The owners replied very quickly to any messages.

We had a wonderful stay at this property for our August 2019 wedding. The beds were super comfortable, and the house is in such close proximity to the beach!

Painless wedding accommodations
Numerous family members got sticker shock at the Newport hotel rates in July. This rental was perfect. Very close to beaches and town, but in a more residential area. The backyard is huge! Great fun. BBQ even worked quite well. Only downside is that one bathroom is inside the downstairs bedroom. Upstairs bathroom serves 6 people. Could be tricky if privacy is big issue with the downstairs people.

Wedding weekend attendance
The check in process was so easy, the owners were top notch in giving us recommendations for area attractions . The property was clean and very convenient for us to often walk to the beach, out to eat. We were there for a wedding at the Newport Beach house venue which was convenient in location as well . Our Family was able to stay together and have our own space, all enjoyed this trip . We would highly recommend this rental property

Clean and Spacious
My husband and I rented Matt & Shannon's house for our family for my son's wedding in September. They answered all my questions in a timely fashion. The house was clean and there was more than enough room for the seven of us. The house was also close to the hotels where the other wedding guests were staying. It was perfect. Everyone had a great time. Thanks guys! By the way, the wedding was SPECTACULAR! Michelle

The location is very convenient, but it wasn't ready for us when we arrived.
Overall Ok, but we could not get the lockbox to open upon arrival. Fortunately the owner was available by phone and walked us through its quirks and we finally did get it open and were able to enter the house. The house has many good features but the TV didn't work when we arrived, the grill wouldn't light and the oven was filthy. The owner took care of these after three visits. By day 2 it was fine, but at $600/night it should have been ready from day one.

The Beach House as our Wedding Base Camp
We rented the Beach House as a venue to welcome our son’s groomsmen, and give them a place to prepare for the ceremony, and as a background for the photographer. We found everything as described, and this house is very cute! It was perfect for our needs. The dishwasher had a malfunction, but Stephanie returned my call within minutes. Fortunately, the weather was sunny and warm during our stay, and we were able to use the backyard, which is comfortably outfitted with a wooden dining table and chairs.
The house is centrally located between one of the most popular beaches, Easton Beach, and downtown Newport. Grocery stores and other amenities are close by.
Our family and extended party people enjoyed our stay at the Beach House, and would not hesitate to stay here again if we return to Newport.

Perfect escape
Place was great for two couples with two little ones between us, particularly given the two levels. Check-in and out was a breeze. Great coffee and beach barely a 5 min walk, great location! Thanks for having us Matt!

Great location, perfect for 2 families.
In good shape, well-maintained. Living-Bedroom-Bath area in basement is perfect for kids. Love the location. Quiet yet walkable to 5-6 restaurants near Easton Beach. Downtown Newport and the Mansion Cliff Walk is just a few min by car. Only weaknesses as of this posting is TV is limited to very basic channels, DVD player remote does not work (and it's not the batteries), and main shower backs up with water when you shower. Other than that, it's great. We prefer staying over here as opposed to downtown Newport which is much noisier and more $$$$.

Thank you very much for extending your home to us for my wedding weekend. We loved the place and thought the home was ideal for our group. 5 stars all around. Perfect location and very close to the beach.

The Beach House offered everything we were looking for!
The Beach House was "our home" for our daughter's wedding in Newport! We couldn't have found a better accommodating house for our stay in Middletown! The bedrooms are spacious, the living area is homey and comfortable, all the comforts of home are provided with a driveway that accommodated all the pre-wedding cars coming and going. The home is decorated with beach items (shells, coral) and lovely wall hangings/sayings which were used in the photographer's pictures! and themed rooms just as the photos show. The home is situated within easy/quick access to Newport. Special thanks to Matt & Shannon for their welcoming home and correspondences with a quick response time. Leaving the house my daughter, the bride, said, "Thank you for being my wedding house!" ~Leesa and Family

Exactly what we needed!
This home is exactly as advertised. We arrived in the middle of February to attend an officer commissioning and were looking for a spacious, comfortable place that would handle the diverse needs of 3 generations, and sleep 7 or 8. Everyone had their own room - my young adult sons could stay up as late as they wanted in the basement level, my parents could relax in the living room and still be a part of all the activity. The kitchen is fully equipped and has an efficient layout.....and the area is beautiful with some excellent restaurants and shopping. Although the weather was way to cold to go 'beaching' in February, we did take a beautiful walk along the shoreline (only 2 blocks away) and also hiked along the cliffwalk where we enjoyed some scenic ocean views and gorgeous mansions. A wonderfully located, excellent vacation home!
