Charming Beach Cottage with Stunning Ocean Views!!
We loved our weekend getaway at Nichole’s place :) She was proactive and made sure we had everything we needed. The condo was clean and worked for the five of us. Would definitely stay here again.

Mystical Ocean View in Historic Stonington Borough
It was great to browse through Sam's library! Amazing to wake up to beautiful sunlight. Adorable and fun layout for a home. Sam was extremely attentive, considerate, and responsive. Thanks for a great experience!

Mystic River Getaway - Walk To Downtown & Seaport!
We thoroughly enjoyed our week at this charming home. The location truly is perfect - we walked over to the Seaport one day and took many walks into the downtown area for shopping, meals at amazingly good restaurants, ice cream, and bake shops. Anthony and Kelly were wonderful hosts - the home was just as described and their communication was clear and friendly- just what you want from hosts. We couldn't have asked for more and would be happy to stay here again.

Jennifer’s Historic Downtown Loft
The apartment was beautiful and clean. From the directions Jennifer gave us, we were able to find and get into the apartment easily. Also, it was a great location. It was about maybe a 7–10 minute walk to all the restaurants and the downtown area, and we were really close to the College Hill area. Nonetheless, I would highly recommend this place and definitely rebook!

The location on the Harbor w/ prkng
Location Location Location worth repeating. Just a flight of stairs up to a cute apartment. Everything you need for an enjoyable Newport getaway.

The Crows Nest - 1747 Isaac Pierce House 2nd Floor
We had a very comfortable relaxed stay! The space was clean and well equipped. The beds were soooo comfortable as was all the living room furniture! Craig was very responsive and accommodating to our schedule. We lived the location and made two visits to the close by Big Red slide and walked the beach! So close! I highly recommend this place and can’t wait to return.

One Bedroom in-law near beach with breakfast
I had an incredible experience staying at Monica and TJ’s place! From the moment I arrived, everything was seamless. The check-in process was smooth, and the home was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and beautifully decorated. The location was perfect, making it easy to explore the area. The host was incredibly accommodating and responsive, ensuring I had everything I needed throughout my stay. The little touches, like [mention any standout amenities, e.g., complimentary snacks, extra towels, a well-stocked kitchen], made the experience even better. I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I’ll definitely be booking again in the future!

Downtown Waterfront Retreat with Historic Charm
Spacious, clean, and lovely apartment in great location in a beautiful town. Hosts were responsive, shower was great, and beds were comfortable, although light sleepers should know that the bedrooms are right up against the street. Loved the bike path and a lot of walk-to restaurants including SS Dion, Quito's, and Beehive Cafe.

Direct Waterfront / Riverside
Jim’s place was great, with plenty to see in the area. We ended up spending most of the time enjoying the little beach and kayaks. Very cute house with plenty of room and we’ll stocked kitchen. The grill made for a perfect Labor Day cookout looking out at the water. Would stay again.

Amazing View Water Front Near Newport & Bristol RI
Joseph was a wonderful host . Very responsive and friendly, helpful. The house was in a very quiet neighborhood overlooking the water with a beautiful reflection of the sunrise and a beautiful sunset. Small private beach .

True Ocean Front Vacationing - Groton/Mystic
The pictures don't do this place justice! The home itself is gorgeous and the view is stunning. The neighborhood is peaceful and it was perfect for me and four friends to stay the weekend.

Waterfront Secluded Home with Dock
It is a beautiful, secluded home with a wonderful view of and access to the water on Potter's Pond. The house felt comfortable with a lot of thought for details - the kitchen was well-equipped, lots of pillows on the beds, high quality and a lot of towels in the closets, night-lights, puzzles and games. Made for a wonderful and comfortable stay. We definitely plan on trying to come back!

Lucy's home is beautiful and situated right by the water. Picturesque scenery. The home is very well maintained and the pictures accurately portray the home. I highly recommend this beautiful home. Lucy was also very proactive in ensuring our stay was fun and pleasant.

Absolutely stunning! New water front house
Beautiful house, great location. Walkable to the beach. Ume was very responsive and proactive in reaching out with instructions and recommendations. The welcome gift was a really nice touch. Would look to book again!

Cozy Waterfront Cottage with a Boat Dock
We really enjoyed our stay at Jake's place on the salt pond! The location is wonderful and close to everything-beaches, restaurants, grocery store etc. The house is tiny but felt spacious enough for all 5 of us to have our own space. The newly finished lower level was a bonus. The view was so serene and a nice reprieve after busy days at the beach.

Location is great - steps away from Thames St. It was clean and the staff are very friendly. They checked in daily to make sure we had everything we needed.

Endeavour's Quarters in heart of historic Newport
I can't say enough about the amazing experience I had staying at Barton's and Suzanne's place. First, Barron responds quickly and goes above and beyond to assure your stay is pleasant, easy and that you're well informed on local sweet spots and activities. He was a pleasure to talk to, as always. When you arrive, you'll first smile at the curated way it is beautifully furnished with every comfort in mind. But, then you'll start to notice the special touches left to make you feel well taken care of. There was a basket of snacks, and water and soda in the refrigerator with a kind note saying to please help your self. Such a special appreciated touch to the make you feel welcome. The location is a few doors down from the Thames St. and easily walkable to Bowen's Wharf and many attractions. I had a wonderful t experience at Barton's place and plan to have the be my only choice for Newport. Enjoy, Kathy

Hidden Newport gem! Waterfront, close to town!
This Airbnb in Newport is the best I could've hoped for; the views are amazing! I'd totally stay here again in a heartbeat if I ever visit RI.

Montauk Waterfront Condo w/ Sunset Views
Absolutely wonderful stay and host. I've stayed at dozens of Airbnbs and this is one of my favorites! Doug's place is even better in person than the photos. We were a little nervous taking our first trip away with our baby, but it was extremely clean and comfortable, and Doug was so kind and responsive. The condo complex has a lovely boardwalk for taking walks, and the deck furniture was so comfortable to lounge in and take in the beautiful view. We hope to be back!

Endless Summer Studio Condo w Balcony Bayview
We really enjoyed staying at Lynn’s place! Very clean and had a great view of the ocean from the deck. Lynn was very responsive and made the experience seamless. We would definitely stay with Lynn again.

Beachside Waterview 2Br Condo w/ Pool in Greenport
The place was perfect nice and clean what I like the best is the it was close to the beach to go for a walk.

Ocean Front View! Wyndham Inn on Long Wharf Resort
Hamilton’s place has an amazing view and very comfortable! We especially loved to sit with coffee to stare out in the morning. It had all the amenities needed for our stay. He’s also very responsive and kindly answered my questions to help my stay more comfortable. It’s also very close to downtown - highly walkable. We enjoyed the pool and grill at the resort as well. We would love to come back!
