Amazing stay in Middletown!

We stayed at James' beautiful home for a college friends reunion and had the most incredible weekend. The house is STUNNING and perfect for a large group with no shortage of beds. The back yard was the selling point for our group and it didn't disappoint- made for such a great weekend gathering around the table with old friends. The owners are incredibly communicative and helpful, and we even got to meet the extended family staying at the other house on the property! Would definitely recommend and would love to stay here again!

Wonderful stay

One of nicest Homeaway's I've ever stayed in. Beautifully maintained and Jim was exceptionally kind and helpful. One girl in my group left an expensive Cartier watch in the house and didn't notice; Jim contacted us on his own terms and made arrangements to get it sent back. Just wonderful, we were so grateful for everything.

Great location and beautiful home!

We were in Newport for a family wedding. The house was the perfect setting to relax and enjoy ourselves before and after the wedding. This was the perfect location. The house was beautiful inside as well as outside. All of our guests loved all of the outdoor open spaces and great gathering areas in the house. The outdoor deck with rocking chairs was beautiful for looking at the water and the sunset. The host was friendly, extremely helpful and welcoming.

Awesome location and Home!!

Hedgegate was clean and comfortable. There was an issue with the internet which the owner was happy to correct. I wasn’t there to hang out online anyway because the beaches were beautiful! I say beaches because there were more than one public beach within a few minutes.

Great place for a large group of friends...

A group of 13 of us stayed at Hedgegate during a recent trip to Newport for a friend's wedding. The house was in a great location - right by Flo's Clamshack as well as the Cliff walk (and a short cab ride from downtown), and the space was very accommodating for such a large group. Relatively spacious bedrooms, a nicely updated kitchen and a spectacular wrap around porch with a ton of rocking chairs (where we spent most of our time). Would highly recommend staying here! (And thanks to Jim for making the rental process so seamless).

Perfect Place for a Family Reunion!

In honor of our Mother's 90th birthday, our family gathered at nearby Hedgegate. Jim Parente gave us the flexibility to rent Wednesday to Wednesday, allowing younger members of the family to come for the weekend; we had a birthday cookout in the beautiful back yard. Renting the house and the loft gave us plenty of room, and the proximity to the beach, the cliff walk, downtown Newport, and restaurants was perfect for our large group of diverse ages and interests. The historic house was the gathering place both inside, in the spacious downstairs, and out - great porches. (And the outside shower was a hit! ) We had a week full of wonderful memories.

Ideal Location and Beautiful Home

The home is an absolute delight and was perfect for our family that wanted six (no bunk bed) bedrooms and a location close to Newport, the beach and dining options. The backyard seating area with gorgeous grass, flowers and flowering shrubs was a treat, as was the wraparound porch and large kitchen and living area. The owner was very responsive to a situation we had with a shower and shared really interesting background on the home. I highly recommend this property.
