Location and Access

Located in Newport's Point neighborhood with over 350 historic homes, the property is a 10-minute walk from Thames Street shops and 1 km from Touro Synagogue. Fort Adams State Park is 2 km away, and T.F. Green Airport is 45 km from the property.

“From what I gather, this lovingly restored house in Newport's historic Point neighborhood provides both waterfront access and a glimpse into the area's past. The location allows for relaxed exploration of the city's restaurants and vibrant harbor, while the host seems to offer unique insights into local attractions and history. I imagine the combination of period charm and modern comforts would particularly appeal to those seeking a romantic or historically-minded getaway.”
