Newport Chaos

The property is very nice. The parking was not. The 10am checkout seems unfair granted check in time isn’t until 3pm.

Great family beach get away for the money

Town house has upstairs and downstairs so nobody above or below you. Spacious and stocked. Nice front patio with grill. Steps to the beach. Location perfect. Popular with teens but also close to food and grocery store. Just park and you don't need your car again.

Wonderful week in Newport at this property! Plenty of space for Me my wife and 3 20 year old children. Beachview Rentals was thorough and responsive to any and all questions we had. The property was nice and clean. I felt the cookware needed some updating because all the non stick pans are old and scratched, but we mostly ate out so it wasn't a big deal for us. The property does have a small timed AC wall unit which was a lifesaver due to the high heat the week were there. Overall a great property and I would gladly rent from Beachview again!

Comfortable stay in great location - not great for small kids

This house was very comfortable and in a great location, but I would not recommend staying if you have very small children. We were aware of the stairs/house layout from the house description, so we rented a baby gate to keep our 19-month-old from falling down the stairs. But we didn't realize that the balcony rails were spaced so far apart that he could slip right through them! So we had to rig up makeshift barriers with chairs, air mattresses, etc to make sure he didn't climb between the rails and fall to the floor below. No harm done, but I was surprised they would rent to families with young children given that liability.
