Welcome to Waites Cottage Newport! Located in the heart of Newport's vibrant downtown, just off of Thames Street. You can walk to all Newport has to offer. Our family & pet-friendly home is equipped with everything you need for a comfortable, socially distanced (all bedrooms have a full bath) stay: WiFi, A/C, washer/dryer, iron, sheets, towels, kitchen necessities, soaps, lotions & other amenities you may need during your stay. Free parking for up to 5 cars.

We are an active family with 3 kids, ages 10, 8 & 6. We enjoy skiing in the winter, beaching in the summer. Family is our priority, so many trips revolve around seeing family and friends. We enjoy cooking and entertaining. Feel free to call or text with any questions or concerns.

We highly recommend either bringing bikes (we have a bike rack in back of house) or renting them once there as it is a great way to see Newport. Bikes are great for doing Ocean Drive & Fort Adams too. The rest of downtown is completely walkable from the house. Breakfast/Coffee: We enjoy Mokka Coffeehouse on Spring Wharf (make a left on Thames & then 2nd left on Spring Wharf) Gary’s Handy Lunch is also to the left on Thames and is more of a diner feel. Franklin Spa on Spring is more a bike ride or short drive and is our traditional spot to hit on the way out of town. Daytime Activities: Second Beach – If lot is full, drive the family, drop them off, then ride a bike back Purgatory Chasm Ocean Drive Hanging Rock at Norman Bird Sanctuary Cliff Walk Mansions Fort Adams Simmons Farm – Goat Yoga, Petting Zoo, Goat Hikes, Hayrides Boat Cruises Rainy Day Activities: Newport Auto Museum The Breakers Mansion (self-guided tour for kids & adults) Lunch: Flo’s Clam Shack Belle’s Café Knot Norm’s Sunset Cocktail: @The Deck (on the water at end of our wharf) they have a “hidden” outdoor bar further out to the right Gurney’s Hotel (on Goat Island and worth checking out with the kids too)
