Occupancy. Ten people is the absolute maximum.

The House. It is an elegant period (1875) home full of light, high ceilings, wood floors, modern kitchen with new appliances, including a wet bar and wine cooler, and a sunlit, separate dining area. The master bathroom has a Jacuzzi tub and another bathroom has a steam shower. The top floor has two bedrooms( (two double beds and two singles) and a shared bathroom, ideal for children and young people. The fully finished and furnished basement, with a double bed and a separate seating area, is great for watching sports and movies. The house has three flat-screen TVs (library/master bedroom/basement), Wifi throughout, and chairs, towels, and kids' surf boards for the beach. Relax on the spacious front and back porches with a barbecue grill for summer dining.

Set well back from the street and screened by a high privet hedge, the house is a quiet haven in a busy town. The yard is private and prettily landscaped. There is room in the driveway for up to five cars, and on-street parking is free and unrestricted.

There are four good restaurants on Broadway at the bottom of our street, a mere three minutes walk.The popular Irish Fastnet pub and the historic Jane Pickens movie theater are a few minutes further on, as is Thames Street, with its shops, restaurants, and pubs. The Viking Hotel and Bellevue Avebue are just down the road. The harbor is also within walking distance, which means you can stroll down there and buy lobsters and clams off the boats that caught them, shop and have a meal at one of the many dock-front restaurants, or take a boat tour around Narrangansett Bay.

Minutes away by car are a fine selection of Atlantic Ocean beaches, the Tennis Hall of Fame, the Bellevue Avenue mansions, and a convenient shopping plaza. There is an excellent 18-hole golf course at the Newport National Golf Club, another short ride away.

Newport's summer season features the renowned Classical, Jazz, and Folk Festivals, tournaments and inductions at the Tennis Hall of Fame, and several notable yacht races.

What makes this house unique

Apart from the pleasure of staying in an elegant and comfortable house, the greatest joy is being able to step outside and walk through Newport's ancient streets to most of the city's attractions. The house is in the historic Kay Street District so, whichever way you turn, there are lovely old homes, tall, shady trees, and flowering gardens to accompany you on your journey. No need to fight for a parking space, or risk picking up a ticket. Enjoy the street life of a lively and virbant city in its summer finery.

Newport is famous for its summer season. It is home to the remarkable Bellevue Avenue mansions, the Tennis Hall of Fame, and the Classical, Jazz, and Folk Music Festivals, It has a variety of great Atlantic beaches, all close by. Sports on offer include swimming, sailing, surfing, wind and kite surfing, golf, horseback riding, hiking, fishing, and tennis.

A charming, old colonial town with narrow, cobblestoned streets, Newport is ideal for sightseeing and shopping. Many of the attractions, notably the restaurants, pubs, shops, and the harbor, are within walking distance of the house. Not surprisingly, seaford--fresh and varied--is the leading gastronomic specialty, but there is also an abundance of locally produced meat, fruit, and vegetables available at colorful farmers' markets..

Beautiful home, wonderful owners!

5 of 5
Submitted: January 22, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
If you are looking for a warm and beautiful home in Newport look no further! My nine "girl" friends and I just returned from a memorable reunion weekend at John and Helen's home. The location was within easy walking distance to shops, restaurants and pubs and an easy drive to the mansions and beaches. Although the pictures on the website are accurate, the pictures cannot describe the warmth and welcoming feeling of this home. Thoughtful touches and the comfort of their guests are no doubt a priority for John and Helen. We did not have the pleasure of meeting Helen but John was so welcoming and easy to work with! We 10 friends have known each other since highschool ( 40 years ago) and it was wonderful to have this beautiful, cozy place to call home for the weekend. We had a couple of great meals in the spacious dining room and many laughs gathered around the fire in the living room and library. I highly recommend this property to anyone visiting Newport and I certainly hope to visit again and stay in this truly lovely home!

The Perfect Palace

5 of 5
Submitted: December 19, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
This house is perfect for a large gathering. There were four couples and two children and the house layout is perfect, you aren't bumping into each other. The back deck is wonderful for those cool evenings where the ocean breeze is gently touching your face. The front porch is charming and the swing was a lifesaver when it was nap time for the children. We walked downtown and a car is only needed for the mansions and beaches. You won't be sorry about this rental. The street is quiet and so are the neighbors.

Newport wedding weekend

5 of 5
Submitted: October 15, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
In making preparations for our wedding in September, 2012, my wife and I were looking for space for our five groomsmen and their wives/girlfriends in an inn. Unfortunately everything we looked into had been booked. We decided to give VRBO a shot and John & Helen’s home was the first that we looked at. It appeared to have the space we were looking for and was centrally located. After meeting John & Helen and touring their home, we quickly booked with them and we couldn’t have been happier with our experience. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised to find that they had left us a nice card with two bottles of wine to welcome us to Newport and to their home. The living space on the first floor was fantastic, and there were more than enough bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate everyone comfortably. Our weekend turned out wonderfully, as the weather was perfect for our wedding and for the cookout we hosted for wedding guests at the home the following day. The home has excellent space in both the kitchen and back deck/yard for entertaining. We were thrilled with how everything turned out and John and Helen were a pleasure to deal with. We would recommend their home to anyone, especially to wedding parties, as an alternative to an Inn or Bed & Breakfast.

What a delightful and memorable women's reunion week we had at John and Helen's beautiful home in Newport. Thank you John and Helen for being so accommodating and helpful. Your home is well equipped, beautiful and spacious. I will always cherish the memory of all of us having a lobster dinner in your beautiful dining room. We loved relaxing on the front porch and preparing our breakfasts in you're gorgeous kitchen. Sleeping accommodations worked out very well.
Thank you for the two bottles of wine and being available to us all week to answer any questions that we had and give us a hand when we needed it.
Newport is a magnificent place to visit. We loved every minute.
