Stay Newport

“Location was great. However, the house is old and not very well maintained. Lots of things were broken, like lights and the stair railing. It was also very limited in supplies. We had to buy our own paper towels and toilet paper as there were only 2.5 rolls. There also weren’t enough towels for all of us, only 4 when we booked for 6. They were prompt in responding but we had to follow up and they didn’t bring more towels until 24 hours later. Also no soap for the dishwasher so we couldn’t run it. Lots of other little things that seemed to be overlooked or not maintained, like the TV in the living room not set up or plugged in, the trash bins outside overflowing upon arrival, etc. Overall I was expecting much more for the price but it was fine for our needs which was a place to sleep while in town for an event.”

“Good, quiet location not far from the hustle and bustle of Newport.”

“Place was great clean and very well located to other areas in town. The only thing I would say is they should tell you that there are two flights of stairs. You have to go up to carry your luggage and that was never told to us before we checked in. So was not what i would call easy.”

“Top notch location. Bush could be cut back to allow access to entire parking spots. 5 bedroom unit is in Good condition and comfortable. Multiple lock boxes outside on railings confused entry procedures with code to be used on actual door (electronic key lock). Unit towels could use refreshing; providing hand towels or wash cloths would be great. Overall great location and very good place to stay.”

“Although this property was newly renovated, there was a very noticeable smell as soon as you entered the apartment. It smelled like mildew/mold. It was disappointing and quite unpleasant.”

“The home is very large. Can accommodate a lot of people. The home did not look like the photos posted. It was dirty and dusty. The railing to the staircase was dirty and sticky. The tea kettle was moldy. Some of the mini split heating units did not work. The sink and the tub in the first floor bathroom took forever to drain. Definitely NOT worth the money.”

“The home is lovely - pictures accurately show the house. Kitchen has good amenities, bathroom clean and nice. Great shower! Our only issue was communicating with the rental group - they were very slow to reply to a very small and basic question we had. It actually took two days and our rental was only three nights so by the time we heard back from it was too late. Very odd because normally my airbnb experiences are that the hosts are so very responsive. Other than that the house was terrific and Newport was a fantastic place to visit for a long weekend. On a side note - highly recommend a visit to the Newport Winery - fantastic!”

“There is too much to say in one paragraph about my experience, renting for 30 days at this location. The host and the owner did a very poor job. The unit was dirty, gross soiled towels, clogged shower drains, oil mess in oven and gas range, old food left in the freezer, ac broken, super noisy unit, no privacy as 6 documented occasions strangers had the door code and entered. Owner ( not host) entered w/O my permission. Host documented all privacy issues, no bikes, beach chairs, no dedicated office space, not enough chairs for 6 people. 2 outdoor chairs for 6 people and a front balcony with zero chairs. Host allowed owner to mismanage the unit and results were terrible. No can opener ! Bikes were delivered 10 days into the 30 day rental , no locks & inoperable. 2 f the rooms had no dresser, storage, one not even a lamp. TV was mounted 5 feet from the couch & too high to view comfortable. The ant infestation was 4 days, food was invaded, no compensation was ever offered.”

“Overall, we were disappointed with our stay. While the location was convenient, the cleanliness and maintenance issues made it difficult to recommend. The towels were old and appeared dirty, and we found multiple spiders around the house—including one that crawled on my friend while she was sleeping, which was very unsettling. The upstairs bathtub was dirty and clogged, making it unusable. To make matters worse, the fire alarm went off around 2:00 a.m., waking everyone up and frightening the kids. The property has potential because of its location, but the cleanliness and upkeep need significant improvement. Unfortunately, based on our experience, I would not recommend staying here.”

“Very confused at the other ratings - False advertising to the max! Really disappointed - the house is simply not taken care of. Very dirty and not functional. Boxsprings for beds, four old musty shower towels were provided (property sleeps 8), dirty toilet SEATS that require new SEATS, no power upon arrival, two guests got poison ivy on the back patio (and then landscapers suddenly appear that very next morning to trim back patio….) The pictures posted here and social media are not accurate! Absolutely beautiful neighborhood, though.”
