Charming Beach Cottage with Stunning Ocean Views!!
There is one word to describe Nichole's condo - DELIGHTFUL! We were in Newport for a family wedding with an infant. We loved that we were so close to the venue on the wharf but out of the crowded streets of downtown Newport. Nichole effectively communicated that there was work being done on the balcony well in advance of our arrival and allowed us a very flexible check-in time which was so helpful traveling with a 7 month old baby. Due to inclement weather, workman came the day after our arrival. Nichole immediately communicated this to us and offered to drop off a bottle of wine. It didn't really impact our stay as we were out and about with different wedding activities. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this Air BnB!

Westgate Watson House apt 2 waterfront
We loved staying in Lisel’s place. It was spotless, quaint and well equipped. The location was excellent, a few blocks from great restaurants and a short walk to the beach. The yard was amazing along a pond, so quiet and peaceful and we had are dedicated Adirondack chairs! Highly recommended!

Newport Studio close to Downtown and Waterfront.
We had a great MDW at Paul’s apartment. It was in a perfect location — walkable to Thames St. but also in a quiet area near King Park with beautiful water views and a great playground for our little one. Ideal location to start 10 mile drive and easy access to the Breakers and other mansions. The apartment is clean and neat and the fireplace was cozy for cooler temperatures at night. Of note, there are only sheer curtains on the windows and apartment gets very bright when the sun rises early. Paul has sleep masks in the closet and you may very well need them if you don’t want to wake up at sunrise!

Harbor view apartment
Jay's place was perfect for our little getaway. It was clean, comfortable bed and furniture and the location was excellent. We were able to walk to everything.

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
Brandon was a wonderful host and his place was great! He frequently checked in throughout the weekend to make sure everything was okay. The treats and wine on the counter were such a nice touch. Thank you for a great stay, we will definitely be back!

Beautiful studio/water front
Our stay at Kristina’s place was perfect for a weekend reunion at Brown. We were able to do laundry locally after traveling for a week and before traveling another two. It was quiet, serene and tastefully decorated. A great escape from the hustle and crowds of downtown providence and the brown campus. We needed more toilet paper and Kristina brought it within minutes. Great host and highly recommend the Airbnb! The bed was super comfy too!

Magical waterfront retreat
We had a lovely stay! The sounds of the water in the morning and the beautiful views set the tone for a wonderful and relaxing trip. Everything was clean and as expected.

Luxury waterfront home with breathtaking views
We came for our son's graduation in Providence, and Thomas’s place was perfect for our stay. Traveling with three generations, it was nice to have a spacious, comfortable home base where we could all unwind after long, exciting days. The house was spotless, exactly as pictured. The views were beautiful, the neighborhood was quiet and charming, and everything about the home made us feel relaxed and welcome. We highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting the area, and we hope to return for another visit soon!

Seaside Cottage in Barrington
Perfect location to attend our daughter’s St Andrew’s graduation. Wish we had found this earlier for parents weekends and attending games! Nice to have an option right in Barrington!

Large estate with pond near beaches
This was a fabulous destination! We were looking for a big place to have a special anniversary party weekend with extended family, and this house had everything we needed. Plenty of bedrooms upstairs and first floor, many common gathering areas, large kitchen and dining room tables, and lots of Space. (And this doesn't even include the explorable property outside.) The dozens of photos in the listing were very helpful, as well as the detailed descriptions. We had specific needs for elderly relatives with disabilities, and owner Lynne was so responsive in her replies to my many messages with varied questions. Truly, Lynne, you deserve a gold star from Airbnb for promptness and offering up ways and help that made our stay both easier and fulfilling.

Peaceful Water Views with a Happy Nautical Theme
Wendy & Sean have created an oasis in Warwick. Decorated lovingly with an ocean of octopi, their Airbnb was so comfy, we hated to leave! We were able to take day trips to Newport, Narragansett & Providence then return to Warwick to enjoy delicious seafood dinners at local restaurants.

The Surf Shack - Ocean Views From Every Room
The best Airbnb I’ve ever been to! We stayed here for my daughter’s graduation from URI and I only wish I stayed here before her four years in Rhode Island were over. Hoping to find another reason to be in this area so I can return to this beautiful home.

Seaside Serenity
This stay exceeded my expectations. I like to cook but rarely do I enjoy cooking in other people’s kitchens - that was not the case here. The entire home was well appointed and provided everything I could have needed. Additionally the kitchen was spotless and contained high end cookware, which made cooking there a joy. We took advantage of the outdoor griddle by making smash burgers. The dogs enjoyed back yard access to the water, which was a mini beach in low tide. My nosey chihuahua enjoyed the view of the neighborhood through many windows, although she was ultimately disappointed by how peaceful the street was as there weren’t a lot of passers by. I particularly loved the view - water viewed through both the front and back windows. The beds were very comfortable and literally every amenity that I forgot to pack was provided.

Cottage on the Cove
We come to the area often and are glad to add this to our list of places to stay! Perfect spot to stay and feel like a local.

East Greenwich Waterfront Gem
Amazing house with epic views (night and day)—everything was perfect! 🤙

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 Oceanfront Resorts
Andrew was great to work with. He was very responsive. I would rent from him again. The unit was really nice and in a great location! Beautiful views from the balcony. The furniture was modern and the unit was very private...only 2 units on the floor. *There were 3-5 of us at a time (depending on the night) staying there very comfortably for my daughter's wedding weekend. On the morning of my daughter's wedding, we had the girls getting ready there for a few hours. We had enough room to move around :) I hope to rent there again for a relaxing get away :)

Hidden Newport gem! Waterfront, close to town!
This Airbnb in Newport is the best I could've hoped for; the views are amazing! I'd totally stay here again in a heartbeat if I ever visit RI.

2BR Newport Oceanside Condo Resort w/2 Pools!
Fantastic place! Great location—walkable to many shops and restaurants and transportation. Very quaint area. Danielle’s place was clean and the check-in staff were super friendly and recommended lots of things for us. Only recommendation I’d have is to have a hairdryer available in the unit. We would definitely stay again.

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
This is a very nice location, next to the bridge and peaceful. It would be helpful to know in advance that the checkin front desk is at 150 Conanicus Ave, Jamestown, RI. Although the drive to there is short and pleasant through the beautiful neighborhoods. We actually enjoyed dinner at the same location JB’s on the Water. Rooms are spacious and clean. If you like cook, make sure bring spices and cooking oil, there is cookware. Though the bridge toll is $4 one way to Newport, it is still a good deal.

Ocean Resort
Perfect location to Thames St. and very walkable to all the water front locations. Great parking, easy check in, beautiful views, lovely beds and bedding. Worth the price. Only disappointment was uncomfortable seating, but we dealt with it! Two thumbs up!

Newport Ocean Rentals
Andy's a great host and the Onshore is a great property. We look forward to returning in future years!
