Charming Beach Cottage with Stunning Ocean Views!!
We loved our weekend getaway at Nichole’s place :) She was proactive and made sure we had everything we needed. The condo was clean and worked for the five of us. Would definitely stay here again.

Jennifer’s Historic Downtown Loft
The apartment was beautiful and clean. From the directions Jennifer gave us, we were able to find and get into the apartment easily. Also, it was a great location. It was about maybe a 7–10 minute walk to all the restaurants and the downtown area, and we were really close to the College Hill area. Nonetheless, I would highly recommend this place and definitely rebook!

The location on the Harbor w/ prkng
Location Location Location worth repeating. Just a flight of stairs up to a cute apartment. Everything you need for an enjoyable Newport getaway.

The Crows Nest - 1747 Isaac Pierce House 2nd Floor
We had a very comfortable relaxed stay! The space was clean and well equipped. The beds were soooo comfortable as was all the living room furniture! Craig was very responsive and accommodating to our schedule. We lived the location and made two visits to the close by Big Red slide and walked the beach! So close! I highly recommend this place and can’t wait to return.

One Bedroom in-law near beach with breakfast
I had an incredible experience staying at Monica and TJ’s place! From the moment I arrived, everything was seamless. The check-in process was smooth, and the home was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated. The location was perfect, making it easy to explore the area. The host was incredibly accommodating and responsive, ensuring I had everything I needed throughout my stay. The little touches, like [mention any standout amenities, e.g., complimentary snacks, extra towels, a well-stocked kitchen], made the experience even better. I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I’ll definitely be booking again in the future!

Downtown Waterfront Retreat with Historic Charm
Spacious, clean, and lovely apartment in great location in a beautiful town. Hosts were responsive, shower was great, and beds were comfortable, although light sleepers should know that the bedrooms are right up against the street. Loved the bike path and a lot of walk-to restaurants including SS Dion, Quito's, and Beehive Cafe.

Walk to the Heart of It All
Cozy, comfortable, perfect location for exploring the "cottages" and the cliff walk. Was also quiet and residential, though just a few minutes from restaurants and the main touristy street. We didn't have a car and didn't feel we were missing out. Also, as others have said, the bed was so comfortable - I'm already thinking about going back!! And the chocolates and tea were such a lovely touch!

Water View Apartment in Historic Bristol, RI
What a magical air bnb. It was comfy, peaceful, well equipped and just so very homey. And the view is beyond words. The sunrise is literally over the water out of your window. Gorgeous! We will absolutely choose this one again when back in Rhode Island. Truly unforgettable space.

Private Waterfront Home on Narragansett Bay!
We had a perfect easter weekend stay at Jackie and Rob's place. The location is lovely, and we enjoyed the walking trail along the coast and through the park. The front porch was perfect for morning coffee and breakfast, and the backyard was our nighttime spot for conversations around the fire. The well-supplied kitchen allowed for ease at mealtime. We even had a surprise visit from a little bunny in the yard on easter morning. It is a lovely place.

East Greenwich Waterfront Gem
Ashley’s place was beautiful. Clean, well decorated and the views were incredible. We rented this for my sister who had a wedding in EG and it’s very close to town and the airport. I would highly recommend.

Come relax at Lakeside Landing
Tonya's home was beautiful, relaxing, and very clean!!! The king bed mattress was hard but very comfortable. The area was very peaceful and relaxing. The lake looked beautiful however the weather wasn't conducive for us to use it. I would love to return when the weather is warmer to be able to enjoy the fire pit and boats that Tonya made available. My daughter and I brought our 14 month old with us and the house was perfect and safe for her to run around and play.

Waterfront Secluded Home with Dock
It is a beautiful, secluded home with a wonderful view of and access to the water on Potter's Pond. The house felt comfortable with a lot of thought for details - the kitchen was well-equipped, lots of pillows on the beds, high quality and a lot of towels in the closets, night-lights, puzzles and games. Made for a wonderful and comfortable stay. We definitely plan on trying to come back!

Oceanfront overlooking Newport Cliff Walk
We had such a good time at Kathleen’s! The location can’t be beat, the laid-back neighborhood, stunning views, and nearby beach was everything I could have hoped for. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Ocean Oasis with Water access
Lucy's home is beautiful and situated right by the water. Picturesque scenery. The home is very well maintained and the pictures accurately portray the home. I highly recommend this beautiful home. Lucy was also very proactive in ensuring our stay was fun and pleasant.

Matunuck South Kingstown Beach house
The place was fantastic, clean and functional home and amazing view! Pablo communication was prompt and clear. Pablo and his sweet dog Luna were so welcoming and friendly and made us feel at home immediately! Highly recommended!

Beachfront W/ HotTub,Sauna, Pool & Panoramic view
Gary was an excellent host!!! The house was beautiful and great house for our family! Would stay there again! Our experience was absolutely amazing! Can’t go on enough how accommodating Gary was! Would recommend 😊

Boutique Hotel Special pricing available
Location is great - steps away from Thames St. It was clean and the staff are very friendly. They checked in daily to make sure we had everything we needed.

August Newport Inn on Long Wharf, Waterfront Unit
Excellent unit with great view of the harbor. The unit and the inn itself is very clean and smells very fresh. The rooftop deck gives an amazing view of the sunset over the harbor. There is adequate/free parking at the inn as well as at the sister resort across the street. Walking distance from great restaurants and shopping complexes. Gary was quickly responsive to all my questions and provided excellent details for check ins etc. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Endeavour's Quarters in heart of historic Newport
I can't say enough about the amazing experience I had staying at Barton's and Suzanne's place. First, Barron responds quickly and goes above and beyond to assure your stay is pleasant, easy and that you're well informed on local sweet spots and activities. He was a pleasure to talk to, as always. When you arrive, you'll first smile at the curated way it is beautifully furnished with every comfort in mind. But, then you'll start to notice the special touches left to make you feel well taken care of. There was a basket of snacks, and water and soda in the refrigerator with a kind note saying to please help your self. Such a special appreciated touch to the make you feel welcome. The location is a few doors down from the Thames St. and easily walkable to Bowen's Wharf and many attractions. I had a wonderful t experience at Barton's place and plan to have the be my only choice for Newport. Enjoy, Kathy

Newport Onshore Resort Getaway
Beautiful location right on the marina in downtown Newport! The place was wonderful and just steps from all of the restaurants and shops in Newport!

Timeshare Rental. 3rd floor Condo w/ water view
We are so pleased with our stay which has a beautiful water view! It was so nice to see all the activities and beautiful boats passing by. The condo was clean and spacious and the bed was so so comfortable! We were in the heart of the downtown and were able to walk to the many shops, restaurants and fun activities happening around us! So much to do! We absolutely loved our stay and will hope to book this again. Marc thank you for being a great host! Very easy to check in and accommodations were excellent! :)

Wyndham Newport Overlook | 2BR/2BA King Bed Suite
We loved our stay in Jamestown. Our unit was spacious, clean and so convenient to everywhere we wanted to visit in Rhode Island. My family and I would definitely stay here again. Oh and the view of the Newport Bridge at from our unit was so pretty. Definitely a bonus.

Ocean Front View! Wyndham Inn on Long Wharf Resort
Hamilton’s place has an amazing view and very comfortable! We especially loved to sit with coffee to stare out in the morning. It had all the amenities needed for our stay. He’s also very responsive and kindly answered my questions to help my stay more comfortable. It’s also very close to downtown - highly walkable. We enjoyed the pool and grill at the resort as well. We would love to come back!

Millie's-Historic New Bedford, 2BR, water views
Condo is beautiful as is The view and location. Jennifer was quick to respond and a great host. Neighborhood is filled with great restaurants. Definitely going to stay there again in the future...
