I can’t say enough positive things about this property, location and the host. I was hesitant about it being a new rental, and if you are too, DON’T BE! John is very communicative, upfront/honest and laid back.
The house itself is so much better than the pictures- it’s fully furnished and such great furniture outside (5+ sitting areas including a dining table and couch!). We spent a lot of time outside.
You’re so close to the beaches we walked to different ones on multiple occasions. Third beach is further but still walkable (1-2 miles away?) and the water is super calm.
Very close to restaurants as well (Atlantic
Grill was a hidden gem for us- their lobster roll and breakfast were wonderful, Tickets for breakfast outside, and Clementines for ice cream).
The closeness to Newport was also so convenient. We went multiple times during our stay- did the cliff walk, toured the mansions, walked around and did shops (do the Vanderbilt hotel rooftop bar for a drink and view of the bay!).
We had guests range in age from 30 to 90 and everyone loved this house.
