The year-round sailing capital of the world, Newport Playground!
Wyndham Long Wharf — close to the waterfront and central to all the fun — enhances your Newport vacation with a wide variety of resort amenities and activities. This warm, friendly resort combines the perfect location with great amenities and is just a few minutes' drive from the area's top attractions.
Experience the city's reputation as "sailing capital of the world" for yourself — take a leisurely sailing tour of Newport Harbor and maybe even a lesson. Thames Street offers great shopping with a split personality: national brands in Upper Thames; more eclectic shops in Lower Thames. Any time you visit the "City by the Sea," there's bound to be a music festival (from folk and pop to jazz and chamber music) or themed celebration — starting with the Newport Winter Festival, Spring Boat Show, Great Chowder Cook-Off, Black Ships Festival and more, closing with Oktoberfest and the Annual Christmas in Newport, when the mansions are decorated for the holidays.

You could not ask for a better “home base” for exploring Newport. Leave your car in parking lot and walk to the transit center (and excellent trolley tour), walk to wharves and Thames St for shopping and dining, even walk to ferries!
I have been going to this resort for years but usually direct through extra holidays , this time I went through this owner and it by far the easiest check in process I have ever had, and everything was exactly as described would definitely rent through the host again. And very nice resort for friends and family’s
Very nice stay at the Wyndham Long Wharf. Walking distance to shops wharfs. Kitchen fully stocked, very clean unit, parking was good, communication with host was good, lots of towels in bathrooms and very comfortable beds for sleeping. Would recommend and would visit again.
The room was excellent The location was great. And when I had any questions everybody was very pleasant and answered promptly. I will definitely stay here again. Thank you
Great room, nice facilities. The only issue we had was with the wi-fi. It was very inconsistent, and we had trouble maintaining connection on the devices. The TV was never able to be connected.
Facility was good. Too many kids roaming the property on their own. Security was called the last night we were there due to a fight in the hallway at midnight between parents and the kids who were running up and down the hallway
I stayed with 3 of my girlfriends from Friday- Sunday. We had a wonderful time. The hotel staff, amenities, and space was great. The hotel suite was very nice and quite spacious, having 2 bathrooms, which is a bonus for us! The only thing I noticed was the suite was not as clean as I would have expected. While it was overall clean, I noticed some dust in the bathrooms and on certain surfaces. This would not hold me back from coming back, the rest of the hotel/resort was clean and smelled nice. We enjoyed our 2 night stay very much and would recommend it to all friends and family.
I have stayed at Wyndham Long wharf, many times because of its location and the consistency of its cleanliness, numerous amenities and comfortability of the space. The staff is always pleasant and and I look forward to staying in such a comfortable surroundings…
Our suite was spacious and comfortable - indeed, larger than we needed. The kitchen was well-equipped with appliances, utensils, cookware and dinnerware. Parking is free - which, we learned, is a big deal in Newport. Everything in the room and on the property was clean and well-maintained. All the furnishings are solid and up-to-date. I will repeat what others have reported: This property is part of a timeshare network. The person who checked us in offered us the chance to attend a sales promotion, and an introductory bonus. But there was *no pressure at all* to attend, or even to listen to his pitch. When we said we had booked through VRBO, there was no judgment at all. He offered us his number, should we want to talk further about it, and that was that. The staff were friendly and helpful at every turn.We would be very happy to stay here again.
