Great location, easy check in and out, nice info provided by hosts, and clean with plenty of bedding and towels! The only weird thing was that the bedrooms are set up railroad style, so you walk through one to get to the next and also to get to the kitchen. It was fine for us, but if you’re looking for privacy, it’s a little wonky. But overall the place worked great for us and I’d recommend it!

Great revisit

We rented this apartment a year ago and we were very pleased with everything. That's why we came back this year, and we are as pleased now as we were last time. It is a nice place, well situated in the town, and it has a lovely outdoor patio. I would recommend it any day of the week.

Perfect stay

The Colony Suite was a perfect place for us to stay in Newport. It was clean, well equipped, and tastefully designed. The patio was a bonus, and it added an extra dimension to the house. The location was perfect, close to shops and restaurants, but in a still and quiet neighborhood.

Great location for restaurants, shops, and the sights. Comfortable beds and the nice large kitchen is a plus. Please remember this is a 250+ old house. It is creaky and quirky. You can’t go wrong staying in this piece of history.

Newport weekend

A few friends ran the Newport 10 miler and when looking at ridiculous hotel prices we started looking for air b n b’s. The house had everything we needed including a kitchen to make our breakfast before the early morning run. It was very cute / charming. It was very convenient to walk downtown.

Wonderful Stay

We stayed for Labor Day weekend and had a wonderful and relaxing time. The checkin was so easy and the place was absolutely spotless. It was more spacious than what it appeared in the pictures and the kitchen is well stocked. Our 2 teenage kids loved that that they each had their own space. Not recommended for younger children due to multiple steps and spiral staircase to the kitchen. Other than that, highly recommend this spot. Easy walk to Thames St with all the dining, Easton Beach and the Cliff walk. The street parking pass was a huge help.

We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment. The location was absolutely ideal—just a short walk to coffee shops, restaurants, and local shops, which made getting around and exploring Newport super convenient. Having a parking spot right on the property was also a huge plus.The apartment was spotlessly clean and clearly well cared for. Communication was excellent throughout—quick responses, clear instructions, and a smooth check-in and check-out process made everything easy and stress-free.The only minor drawback was the layout, which felt a bit unconventional at times. It wasn’t a major issue, just something to adjust to during the stay.Overall, this was a great place to stay. We’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-located apartment with a responsive and professional host.

Beautiful old home in lovely section of Newport, where you can walk to everything. Comfy beds, ac, sparkling clean, cute patio. I’m picky (or so I’ve been told) and I simply cannot find a single fault in this property. AND ON TOP OF THAT, Keith was kind enough to mail a forgotten bag back to one of our party. Just super in every way.

Cool place with great location. Only issue was we came with 3 couples and used the pull out couch. There was no bedding for the pull out and the owners didn’t reply to my message. Luckily, we had something to suffice.

Loved the location of this property. Near many attractions near the downtown area. We did not read the description of the rooms close enough to realize one of the full baths is down a spiral staircase. This can be a difficult walk for some at 3:00am.

Wonderful stay on Spring Street

The 2-bedroom apartment on Spring Street was sparkling clean and well-appointed. The location was perfect. Our group comprised of two parents and two children. The bedrooms required passing through to get to the living room or the kitchen, so it could be an awkward arrangement for a group not as accustomed to each other as parents and children. But we loved the patio and the light-filled kitchen. We loved the jaccuzzi bathtub. The beds were very comfortable. We liked walking around the historic neighborbood and down to the wharves. We walked to restaurants and it was an easy drive to the mansions and beaches. We also appreciated the beach towels and beach chairs. We had a GREAT time in Newport!!!

Fantastic location and place!

This is a stunning historic New England property, beautifully restored and updated. It is a unit inside a bigger building and this unit had the 2 beds and baths, 2 floors and the welcome flexibility of a pull out bed in the living room. Decorations were so gorgeous and on point with this place. Beds were very comfortable. Immaculately clean, lovely linens and towels. This location is walkable to everything. The owner gave us recommendations for restaurants which were appreciated and we used. He said the Black Pearl was a must and it was. I would definitely stay here again
