Howland House is a four unit, classic historic Newport property. Built in 1750
it predates the Revolution and is one of Newport's oldest homes. While it
holds all of the charm of old New England, through renovations and updates, it
can comfortably accommodate larger parties allowing everyone privacy within
their own units. Three of the four units are suites, while one is a townhouse
style apartment. There is one full kitchen located in that unit. All of the
other units have their own microwaves, coffee stations, mini fridges, plenty
of closet space, and mini splits. There are two on site parking spots, and
four passes which allow for on street parking.
All of Windwards properties are professionally cleaned between guests and come
outfitted in high end linens and towels.
Aside from the cleanliness of the space, it is in one of the most sought after
locations in Newport. Right outside your door you can spot historic St. Mary’s
Church, and you are steps away from Thames Street, Bannisters & Bowens Wharf,
and endless restaurants, bars, and shopping.
