We came to Newport for a friend’s wedding and couldn’t have been happier with our choice of lodging. The owners were very attentive and accommodating. The space was perfect for our 6-person party. The location was exactly what we wanted - close to the downtown spots but still far enough away to not hear every bit of nightlife. We all have nothing but positive remarks about this spot and are hoping to return for an anniversary retreat in the upcoming years. Thank you Sandy and Kate for the perfect stay!

Great space for a family

Stayed here with my husband and 2 kids for a wedding and it was perfect - we are already planning to come back with some friends next summer! Perfectly clean, coffee and breakfast food in the kitchen, and very helpful hosts. 5 stars. Super comfy beds too.

Four couples recently rented this property for my son’s surprise 40th birthday weekend. Since I was the primary renter, the review falls to me. Unfortunately, my husband and I were too sick to be there, so I’m basing this review on the other three couples opinions. The space was extremely clean and came with every thing one would want. The location was perfect. They never needed a car for the weekend activities. Prior to the weekend, the owner was easy to get in touch with and responded quickly. A representative for the owner met my daughter and her husband upon their arrival, gave them a tour and answered any questions. The only drawback I heard was that they were told several times that they needed to be quiet since people lived below. This was not an issue for us, it could be if you were traveling with children (the only reason for 4 stars not 5). I would rent this property again and would definitely recommend it to others.

We had a wonderful family reunion of 7 people--3 generations. Sandy and Kate went out of their way to make us welcome with games for all ages (on the one rainy day), food in the kitchen to get us started (eggs, bread and coffee), and even bathrobes for all. The condo was perfect for walking to downtown shops and restaurants and there was plenty of parking for guests. The beds were especially comfortable. We have no reservations about recommending this property to anyone visiting Newport!

A group of friends and I stayed at this lovely apartment over Labor Day weekend. The apartment is updated, spacious, and fully equipped with all amenities. Sandy and Kate even left us some wine, breakfast supplies, and coffee! We had a great time cooking out on the grill and eating dinner around the large dining room table. For nights that we wanted to eat out and explore the lively Newport bar scene, there were plenty of options just a short walk away down Thames street. Everything about the apartment was clean, the beds were comfortable, and Sandy and Kate were wonderful hosts. Next trip to Newport, we would absolutely stay here again! We only have positive things to say about our weekend in Newport!

We had the best time in Newport! We were in town for a wedding with 4 couples and it couldn't have been a better experience and place to stay. Sandy and Kate were very accommodating with anything we needed and the location was ideal. Highly recommend staying at their lovely apartment!

My husband and I stayed here along with family and friends for the 2017 Newport Jazz Festival. It was six of us and one 11 year old. We all loved it. The apartment has a wonderful open plan and the place was spotless and nicely decorated. There are board games and picture books plus a TV (Roku) so most will be entertained. The deck seats 4 or 5 comfortably and offers a partial view of the baseball field nearby (no intrusive noise). Sandy (Alexander) and Kate left the kitchen well stocked with soft drinks, breakfast fare, coffee and more! Everything you could need is within walking distance as well. Shops, restaurants, and the dock for water shuttles is maybe 2 blocks away. I received a nice welcome message from Kate and they leave you a good guide to local activities. We are already talking about coming back!

Great location! Immaculate and welcoming and homey. Host was very informative and willing to help. I would highly recommend Sandy and Kate's place.

Was great

We had a great time staying at Sandy and Kate's property, which is located across from the public parking lot on Thames Street. The apartment was clean and spacious. The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the bath robes they provided. We were able to walk to the restaurants that we had reservations at because of the convenient location of the apartment. There was ample parking and one of the tenant's was helpful when we had questions. My only complaints are that the kitchen could use some more equipment (we needed a large pot and a baking sheet, but other than that it had everything we needed). Additionally, it can be rather loud at night because of the location, but this can be expected when staying in an area near many bars and public parking. I would 100% stay here again!

"Sunny and dramatic" is right on, but fails to include "comfortable and thoughtfully designed." The home served us well for a reunion of five college friends. Two bedrooms and a bath in the loft, and two bedrooms and a bath on the main floor. Kitchen, living room, and dining area set up for easy conversation, no matter where someone was on the main floor. The owners were great--friendly, flexible, and accommodating. They kindly stocked the fridge with breakfast ingredients and beer and provided coffee and tea and miscellaneous kitchen staples. We had an easy walk to restaurants, historic buildings, and the harbor. From the upstairs bathroom, we had a view of the bridge at night. We highly recommend that you stay here if you need four bedrooms. However, please don't request this place on a weekend that we plan to return....
