Wonderful home!
Stayed here for a weekend - here are the highlights: Cute home on a quiet street. Beds are so comfy as is the daybed in the living room. There are 2 queen beds and a daybed. Rooms are all clean and nicely decorated. There was everything we needed including a Keurig, new fridge, even a hairdryer with a diffuser attachment! Parking for 2 cars. I’d stay here again - Gale is a wonderful responsive host. We felt so welcomed and comfortable!

3 Restmere was a good choice for staying outside the tourist area of Newport. The cottage has comfortable beds and has been updated with modern amenities and bright beachy decor. Parking is right in the driveway on the property. It was close to everything you want to do while visiting the island. Gale our host was quick to respond when contacted. We would recommend booking this cottage. It was perfect for 2 adults.

Great location, beware cat urine odor
This property is in a great location, I stayed here while attending the Newport Folk Festival and we were close to everything. It’s a duplex in a nice neighborhood. The bad news is while clean, there was a distinct odor of cat urine most strongly in the bedroom closest to the street. It was bad enough that my daughter couldn’t sleep in there and ended up sleeping in the living room. I was too busy attending the festival and enjoying my time outside the house to invest the time in reaching out to Gale the host for the property during my two night stay. When I did contact Gale shortly after my stay she was initially concerned and pleasant, seemingly willing to work with me but then kept giving me excuses, people she had to talk to, and has yet to compensate me for the issue and I’m not holding my breath at this point. She did tell me that I should have contacted her while I was still there and that her cleaners didn’t smell it. I promise you I did not make it up and the smell of cat urine was distinct and bothered all in my party. So, my bad? We all imagined it? Maybe Gale has addressed this and eradicated the smell or maybe she hasn’t but be forewarned either way.

The cottage is in a nice area. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The house has two units, but it felt very private. We might rent both cottages next time for more family! A short drive to downtown Newport, beaches, Cliff Walk, etc. We will be back!

Charming, Clean, and Calm Cottage!!!
This property exceeded expectations, the inside is clean and everything is recently updated. The property is located in a very nice street. Perfect for a weekend stay in the Newport area. The kitchen has everything you could need including a Kerig, however the stove is electric and not gas ,but works well just a bit different. A/C and Heat throughout property, and a lovely back deck looks out into a nice yard. The Property is minutes from the beach and about 10- 15 minute drive to the mansions and Thames street shopping. I would highly recommend this property. Gale the owner was wonderful as well.
