My 2nd or 3rd stay and still enjoying it. We'll be back. Note; street parking is very manageable and not any where near as difficult as other areas in Newport. Older property, not lux but very charming. Great location. Have had stays from 3 days to 12 days...very close to other great beaches (Corona del Mar, Newport). Kitchen has full fridge, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, electric kettle. No stove. Beautiful neighborhood for walking. All you need for single or couple.

Lives up to what it was intended for - sleeping and within walking distance of what the Island and Peninsula have to offer. Good mattress; everything was functional; quieter than I had expected. The place could use a few touch-ups here and there, but all-in-all I was satisfied with my stay.
