Perfect Week by the Sea - 6 stars!

This is the coziest, most fun spot for a relaxing beach holiday and a great location for exploring near-by Newport. The 'Surf Shack' vibe is an imaginative delight.

Fantastic Coastal Vacation

Great property, with beneficial amenities (bbq, outdoor shower etc), a host with outstanding communication skills, and an area with activities from secluded beaches, harbor side restaurants, art galleries, and nature reserves. Highly recommended.

Wonderful Stay

Everything was perfect and described as is! Great beach vibe. Nice sea breeze. Clean and convenient. Location is great other than being up on the road and the sound of passing cars, which we expected. Would definitely rent again!

Surfer Shack

My husband and I completely enjoyed our week at “the Shack.” The listing and comments are accurate. We relaxed, had lovely beach time and enjoyed learning so much more about surfing through our hosts’ library. The queen bed is very comfortable and it was a perfect spot close to everything Newport has to offer.

Wonderful getaway!

We stayed for 4 nights in September. The cottage was just as advertised and we were very comfortable. Lynn was very responsive to questions. The kitchen was stocked incredibly well and anything we needed was available. The location was perfect since it was only about 1 mile to the Cliff Walk, 2 to downtown Newport and very close to the nature preserve. Thank you for letting us stay in the cottage for our Newport visit!

Great place to stay

The home has everything needed for a relaxing vacation. Close to restaurants, beaches, parks and attractions. A great yard for relaxing after a day of exploring the area. The beaches are within walking distance. However the street is pretty busy. With no sidewalks we felt safer driving with the kids and beach gear. We would definitely stay here again.

Cozy beach cottage

This cottage was perfect for our two-week stay. It is exactly as described in the listing and looks just like the photos. Check-in and check-out were easy, and our hosts were welcoming and responsive. It was small yet comfortable for our group of three. Nice AC in the bedrooms and a quick walk to the beach, as well as to various restaurants. We loved it and would come back again!

Cute bungalow!

4 adults shared the cottage. Hosts communication was fantastic, check-in so easy, everything we needed was provided. Easy access to beaches, downtown Newport, Cliff Walk. Cozy space inside, outdoor space was fantastic. Wish we had more time to enjoy it (wedding festivities kept us busy). Would def recommend this cottage.

Adorable beach cottage

The property is adorable. It’s very small, but was a good size for our family of 3. The location was super convenient and when we did have a small issue, owners were prompt with responses. Just know this truly is a little bungalow and probably wouldn’t be great for more than 4 people.

Clean, quiet and cozy

Lynne was highly accommodating of us arriving earlier and was exceedingly communicative throughout our stay. The property was very clean and the neighborhood was wonderfully quiet. While the property is close to a busy road , the cottage itself is quiet with the windows closed. We loved the outdoor shower!

Just right! Super convenient!

The cottage was just as described -cozy but just enough room for a family of 4. The outdoor patio and shower was great and the decor is super fun. It's on a main road and parking/backing in was a little tricky but not a big deal. We would definitely stay again! Thank you!
