About this property

The Captain's Cottage - Walk to Everything!

Historic and charming cottage in The Point neighborhood of Newport, walking distance to everything Newport has to offer. This 1850s cottage has been uniquely handcrafted with built-in cabinets, original hardwood floors, and nautical antique elements. Updated with modern amenities, including chef's kitchen. A lovely patio with outdoor shower, sitting area and dining table provides a wonderful outdoor oasis. A short walk to Newport Harbor, Downtown, Goat Island, Newport Shipyard, etc.

Historically curated, bright and beautifully decorated, everyone smiles when they enter the Captain's Cottage.

Main floor has living area with a seating area and a TV with access to streaming services and some live tv. Attached to the living area is a library, filled with nautical antiques and vintage books. Curl up on the built in twin bed with a book. Also on the main floor is a dining room that can comfortably sit 6, a half bathroom, stacked laundry and a beautiful chef's kitchen. Kitchen is well-equipped with Wolf Gourmet professional range, well-sharpened knives & cutlery, West Elm dinnerware, well-stocked spices and professional pans. The large farmhouse sink with garbage disposal makes cleaning a breeze. Appliances also include a Big Chill retro fridge with ice maker and Bosch dishwasher.

Kitchen has door to back fenced in patio, complete with 6-person dining table with umbrella, outdoor seating/lounge area, Weber gas stove, and outdoor shower. String lights, plants and lanterns turn the patio into an outdoor oasis at night.

The second floor has a primary bedroom (with tv) and 2nd bedroom, each with a Sealy Hybrid queen bed. A full bathroom with clawfoot tub, shower, and large reclaimed wood vanity connects the 2 bedrooms.

Located on Newport Harbor, just behind the Newport Marriott - there is no need to drive to popular destinations, just about EVERYTHING is within walking distance to the house:
Newport Yacht Yard: .25 Miles
Bowen's Wharf (shopping, restaurants, etc): .3 Miles
Goat Island: .5 Miles
Newport Ferries: .25 Miles

Guests who book the Captain’s Cottage will receive 25% off private charters from Newport Charter Group, a private yachting experience departing from Goat Island Marina. Explore historic Newport Harbor and surrounding waters on the beautiful 33' Camelot.

This is not a "rental property" - it is our home! We will be away for parts of the year and want to share it with you. It is located in the quiet, historic neighborhood of the Point - and is not a party house. Month long stays only per zoning rules.
