Clean Coastal Getaway Cottage

Great place, nicely equipped kitchen, comfortable bed.

We were looking for a central spot near Newport and the mansions, Cliff Walk, and beaches. This small cottage turned out to be perfect. It's three rooms in a row with a full bath off one side of the kitchen (we stayed in unit B, the first one). It's a single building split into two cottages. Pictures made it look small inside but it was compact yet roomy. Perfect for a couple but small kids could take the sofa bed. Best part (maybe?): The stacked washer dryer to one side in the kitchen. Aside from being a short drive to the mansions and Cliff Walk, we really enjoyed the 10 minute walk to one beach and a comfortable twenty or thirty minute walk over a hill to the second and third beaches. The latter walk is really pretty past the school then along the undeveloped shoreline. We also were able to walk out for Flo's and later for pizza. There's a gas station nearby on the main road down the hill. The neighborhood is very quiet despite being high above and one street back from the often busy main road. The owners, Terri and Michael, also were really helpful but not in the way. And the process of renting the space and going in was clearly laid out so there were no real questions and no problems. At the risk of not having this available the next time we visit Newport, I'd say this is the perfect spot to visit the nearby Newport, the winery up the road, and day trips out to the Cape. It worked very well for us.

Very nice stay and close to everything. We walked everywhere. Everything we needed was provided at the cottage. Can't wait to go back.

I really enjoyed having so many things available to us! I especially enjoyed having the amenities, kitchen, bathroom, washer/dryer, and the outdoor area. The beach umbrella and chairs were very nice as we were able to take a break from the sunshine at the beach. The weather was fabulous during our stay! It was really nice to have the little things provided we may have forgotten along the way, bandaids, toothbrush, sunscreen, bags, washing machine soap, and bounce. We were very busy visiting for the majority of the stay, but a home away from home to go to was a nice feeling. I left a couple suggestions for the owners in regard to comfortability as a family of four, but the cottage served our vacation needs overall.
