This home was recommended by a friend who had stayed there and it was by far the best home we have ever stayed in, in all of our years of travelling (including Europe!). First, it is perfectly appointed, because it is a family home. That made it so comfortable, and yet it was really a wonderful getaway for us. The house is beautiful, charming, so well laid out and planned and easy, easy, easy to be in. The host, Pam, was wonderful and she literally has the prettiest home. The outdoors is quiet, spacious, and has enough outdoor deck and yard space that you can follow the sun or find shade as needed. The four bedrooms are beautiful, with fresh bedding and beautiful furniture. The two upstairs bedrooms have the most adorable little sleeping areas for children that is quite frankly magical! The location is lovely, a short walk to the beach and restaurants but in a quiet lovely neighborhood, that is wonderful for walks. We were only there for three nights, and we and my sister and her husband are already making plans to return in the fall, it is that lovely. Newport/Middletown can be difficult to find a place to stay, not sure what you are getting yourself into, but this home is idyllic, and we feel so lucky to have found it!!
