Cozy Beach House with Short Walk to Private Beach
Meg's place felt relaxing and spacious. It is a short walk to a private beach, which we enjoyed even though it's winter. You can see the lighthouse in the distance from the main bedroom upstairs. The beds all have memory foam mattresses so if you like that, it's good to know. I'm not a fan of memory foam but that's a personal preference and nothing against the home at all. The house felt like it had been taken care of and maintained well, with some apparently recent updates to paint and such. We did find the place to be a little dusty, especially the floors, and my husband and I were a bit sneezy due to the dust and/or pet dander present in the home. Easy to find, easy entrance (keypad on door). In a nice quiet area of Point Judith but an easy drive to Narragansett. We recommend On Point pizza for amazing slices (4 minutes' drive from Meg's place), and Celeste for a more upscale dining experience (10 minutes' drive).

Log Cabin by the Beach!
Matt’s place was immaculate and comfortable. Perfect place to stay while moving my son into his URI off campus housing.

Newport/Middletown Beach House .3 mi to beach!
We absolutely loved our stay! The Airbnb was clean which is extremely important to me. We were walking distance to great restaurants and a short drive to downtown Newport. They were responsive hosts and had everything you need when staying somewhere (a steamer, blowdryer, dish soap, extra towels, etc). The Airbnb was extremely spacious and the beds were comfortable. There were two bathrooms and plenty of mirrors throughout the house which made it easy for all the girls to get ready at the same time. The outdoor amenities were so nice every night. Their instructions were clear of everything we needed and easy to find things in the house (trash bags, tissues, etc) . An amazing low stress weekend. Very highly recommend staying here.

Beach Retreat With Private Deck and Backyard!
The location is great and the place was clean. Mitchell was very communicative.

Beach Home – Family Friendly - Solar Powered
This house was a perfect place for our annual family gathering. There were 9 people from 16 to 83. The open space, first floor bedroom and bunk room were perfect for our group! Ciara was a great host!!

Beach Getaway Left
We enjoyed our 2 night stay. Host was quick and responsive. Neighborhood was quiet and relaxing. Easy walk to the beach, can see the water when you step out the door. We would stay again.

Sun splashed 6 bedroom short walk to the beach!
Christine’s home was perfect for my family and my friend’s family to stay! So much space and lots of bathrooms which was a plus! I love how the kitchen and living room are one big space to host everyone. The wrap around deck was amazing!!! We had some trouble with the grill but Christine was SO responsive (even though she was on vaca herself!) and sent her handyman over to fix it which was awesome!! Nothing beats the RI beaches and salty summer air. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!!

Little Compton Beach Getaway
Absolutely amazing, chill space. Travis was responsive and thoughtful. His second home as well as rental so it was well cared for with nice touches. Would rent again in a heartbeat.

Beach rental home
We had a wonderful stay at Peter’s house. Everything was exactly as described. The house is fully stocked with everything. My daughters were impressed by the coffee/ tea provided. We had a wonderful week. Beautiful views of second beach. The yard was perfect for our small dogs to run around. We can’t wait to stay again.

Scott was an awesome host, very helpful, flexible and proactive. I would definitely stay there again.

Charming 3 br apartment/East side
Pat is a Superhost Extraordinaire! Felt at home in charming and comfortable house. Fully equipped kitchen with snacks too! The space is super clean with towels galore. Pat has thought of everything and more .... Cannot ask for a more thoughtful and generous host! The location is walkable to Brown University and parking is convenient on premises. There is even an outdoor space to relax (weather permitting). Wifi worked great. Thank you for making our stay in Providence so enjoyable!

Newport / Portsmouth 3 bed 2 bath Home
This Airbnb was a great “home away from home” while traveling for work. We needed space for 3 employees who’s must haves are a home kitchen to cook in! We enjoyed meeting the locals and appreciated the quiet community since we work long hours. A great convenient place to stay.

Backyard Oasis with Hot Tub
A wonderful place that felt even larger than in the pictures, surrounded by beautiful scenery, offering complete privacy, and the perfect touch of a delicious hot tub experience under a snowy night.

Bristol, RI - The Seaport House, Harborside
We had a fabulous stay at Karen’s beautiful home! It was so well located and convenient to all the things that we wanted to do. The state park and the bike path are better than we could’ve imagined! The town of Bristol is a dream and the surrounding areas are full of gems and surprises. The house was lovely and everything in it was spotless, well thought out and made us feel right at home. All the appliances worked beautifully, the beds were extremely comfortable and the showers were hot with good water pressure! We can’t fault anything, the only low point was that we had to leave! We look so forward to returning to this beautiful area and to this lovely home with a kind, considerate and very fun host! She’s my new travel buddy! Thanks Karen, everything was great and it made for a very special birthday for my best friend. I really appreciated that.😊

Totally Unique House for rent
This was our second time staying at Frankie’s place and would jump at the chance to stay again for our next visit. The place was very clean and great location. Frankie is a great host! Book with confidence.

Condo in heart of downtown Newport! Steps to All!
I grew up in the area and know Newport well. After a wedding on Cape Cod, we were looking for a place to unwind for a few days. (1) The location is great; right off Thames St. in the heart of downtown, and right down the street from the Vanderbilt (great hotel bar, restaurant, and roof deck) -- that said, we visited in October when Newport isn't crowded; I can imagine it might be a bit noisy in the summer. (2) David was a very responsible host. (3) The apartment, though small (as are most of them in the colonial section of downtown Newport) was well kitted out (in the summer, the washer/dryer would be a real plus; ditto for the small back patio). (4) If you want to stay in and watch shows/videos, it's well equipped (e.g., Hulu, etc.). (5) Wifi was flawless. (6) Parking across the street was $30 for 24 hours.

Misquamicut Beach Cozy Condominium. Unit 6
Great location! Easily accessible to the beach either via driving or walking. Quiet area. It was a nice place to stay for the weekend.

1-BR Condo in Downtown Newport! Steps to Thames St
This property was the perfect size for my husband and me. Very clean and had all the basics needed. The bed was very comfortable too. The location was amazing - steps from Thames Street. Troy was extremely responsive, especially when I left a few items behind and had to coordinate with him to get them back.

Downtown Newport Penthouse on Thames
We had a group of 6 women for an overnight trip. We all were very comfortable with the condo. Very clean and spacious. There was plenty to do in walking distance although it rained all during our stay. Definitely would stay here again. Thank you Matthew for letting us use your condo, we had a wonderful time!

Charming Studio Off Thames
Really enjoyed my stay at Kelly’s place. Great location and close to everything in Newport. Highly recommend!

Urban Chic in PVD, next door to Brown and RISD
Hamzah’s condo is gorgeous, comfortable and perfectly located on Providence’s College Hill. We walked to great restaurants and Brown’s campus, and enjoyed the very comfortable and elegant space in George Street. Hamzah was a very responsive host to questions we had. Our only disappointment was not being able to stay longer!

Your guide to Newport
All About Newport
On the southern tip of Aquidneck Island in Rhode Island Sound, Newport is famous for its scenic landscapes, rich sailing history, and renowned music scene. Located southeast of Providence, Newport is easily reachable from Boston and New York City. Its yacht-filled harbor has played host to the world’s oldest and most famous sailing competition over the years, and the town is also the site of Naval Station Newport, a crucial Navy training center housing the United States Naval War College, and the Naval Undersea Warfare Center.
In downtown, 18th-century clapboard houses line the narrow streets, whereas Bellevue Avenue is home to Gilded Age mansions, some of which have become museums. Several public and private beaches welcome visitors, with Easton Beach being the most popular for swimming and kite-surfing. Just outside of town, you’ll find picturesque vineyards offering wine tasting and alfresco dining. And to the north, Colt State Park offers walking paths, playing fields, and an open-air chapel.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Newport
Like many New England towns, Newport's weather can vary throughout the year. Summers are pleasant with warm temperatures, sunny days, and an abundance of events to keep you busy, including the city’s world-renowned folk and jazz festivals and international tennis tournament in July. As temperatures cool, fall foliage is on full display in late September, early October. Enjoy a scenic drive to take in the colors. While winters are cold and snowy, it may be the best time to enjoy your Newport vacation rental and a cozy dinner at one of the local vineyards. May brings warmer temperatures, drier weather, and delicious oysters and chowders from local growers and vendors at the annual Newport Oyster & Chowder Festival.
