Description:

Hawthorne House of Newport is located in the city’s south end (Fifth Ward). If you are seeking an “away-from-it-all” experience in a lovely family neighborhood, this private three-room suite offers the conveniences and comfort of home. Your privacy is assured as we accept only one booking at a time . . . in other words, you will be our only guests . . . there are no other guests in residence.

We offer a warm and genuine welcome to our visitors. The suite is nicely appointed and well-equipped. A French door from the lovely queen bedroom opens to a private deck complete with patio furniture, a large gas grill, and a spacious yard. A separate living/dining room with a queen sofa bed, dining table, and generously-stocked kitchenette provides ample living space. Due to the privacy of this suite, we are happy to welcome children. They will be delighted to find a nearby playground and family beach – and are welcome to run and play in the large back yard. This home is accessible for most wheelchairs – please ask us for specifics. We also welcome well-behaved pets – please ask for our ‘Pet Policy’.

Your suite also includes a private entrance, driveway parking, flat screen cable televisions, free wi-fi, beach towels and beach chairs. Oh, did we mention your helpful hosts? Feel free to ask us for shopping, dining, or sightseeing suggestions. As native Newporters, we are well acquainted with our famous hometown and its surrounding areas.

We are located in a quiet residential area (‘Fifth Ward’) within walking distance to downtown (1.2 miles), a local family-friendly beach (0.7 miles), Salve Regina campus (0.5 miles), and Breakers Mansion on the Cliff Walk (0.9 miles). We are 1.3 miles from Fort Adams State Park. Murphy Field (dog-friendly), with basketball and tennis courts, and a children’s play area, is directly across the street.
