Newport in the fall

This VRBO is in the perfect location. We walked everywhere, well, except the mansions. That was a short drive. Great breakfast places just two blocks away. The hosts were great. The room has a very comfortable king bed and small sitting area. We hope to return on another visit to New England.

Very clean and pretty VRBO - off street parking was a great find in Newport. The check in process was easy and we received great info from the owners prior to check in regarding restaurants. Once we parked our car, we were able to walk anywhere we wanted to go. We highly recommend this property.

Weekend getaway

We really enjoyed staying at Seaside Retreat. It was an easy walk to Thames St and all the best bars, shops and restaurants but far enough away that it was also super quiet and relaxing. The property is small but very clean and decorated well. Would definitely stay here again.

As advertised; great location

Our hosts did a magnificent job of describing their place and its location. It was exactly as advertised and all the necessary information was provided making our stay seamless. They did a great job of making use of every inch of space while still offering a quaint and artistic coastal New England/Newport vibe. It was an easy walk to the wharves and tons of shops and restaurants. 10/10 would stay again. One thing to note is it is located in a house where other people live so there is some associated "noise of living". We used a sound machine for sleeping and had no problems even with the windows open.

Comfortable home away from home

The owners truly thought about every possible comfort. From the beds and pillows to the coffee creamer in the refrigerator. Walkable to good restaurants and many attractions. The only downside is that the walls to the home are thin and sound travels through the floor so even when people above aren’t stomping, it sounds like they are. Despite this, we would stay again because it is otherwise perfect.
