“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.”
