Great spot for a family friendly beach trip. Well stocked with amenities and helpful beach items. Timely communication from the host was very helpful. Convenient location. Would stay here again. Only hiccup was the mini split didn’t cool the bedrooms well, but there were fan towers provided.

Incredible location. Walkable to everything we needed. Surprisingly not too loud despite the location. Jennifer made everything very easy and was super communicative and responsive. We highly recommend!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
Amazing location just steps from the beach. A parking space is available but very small. Sufficient for one car. There’s a lot of vehicle traffic that blocks the driveway. If you don’t plan to use your vehicle much, it won’t be an issue. If you need to come & go you must have patience. It has nothing to do with the property or it’s owner, just a lot of beach goers dropping off/ picking up without regard to personal driveways.Definitely recommend if you want to be really close to the beach!
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
We loved our stay at the cottage in Newport. The location was unsurpassed, mere steps from the beach and the local hot spots, and with the best patio for coffee and people watching, especially with all the 4th of July antics! Jennifer was incredibly helpful and responsive before and during our stay, responding to any questions or concerns so quickly and kindly. The cottage is decorated so cute and cozy and had everything we needed for a few days away. And having the driveway was SO helpful! I would highly recommend a stay at the cottage.
