About this property

Spacious Suite, Private Entry, Sleeps 4, Kitchenette, LR/DR, GasGrill, Huge Yard

Hawthorne House of Newport is located in the city's south end (Fifth Ward). This private three-room suite is located in the city's south end in a quiet residential area historically known as 'Fifth Ward'. This private three-room suite is situated in the "sweet spot" halfway between the beach and downtown. We are celebrating our 29th year in 2024!
We accept only one reservation at a time, so there are never any other guests on the property. Guests can expect full and private access to the suite – indeed, our reviews speak well of our careful attention to guest privacy.
Note that all short-term rental properties in residential zones must be owner-occupied as per decades of city ordinances. That said, our property was specifically designed to give separate privacy to guests. In fact, this suite is the only guest space in the building or on the property – thus, it is private for you and is never shared with other guests or with the owners.
The suite's separate entry is just off the main foyer of the home. Nicely furnished and equipped, the suite includes a deck with gas grill, well-supplied kitchenette, free Wi-Fi, and off-street parking. (We have never charged fees for cleaning, wi-fi, parking, or other such amenities to our guests!) The suite sleeps four (a queen bedroom and a separate living/dining room with queen sleeper sofa – we can also provide a pack 'n play). The bath is accessed from the hallway between the living room and bedroom, convenient to both main areas of the suite.
This neighborhood is within walking distance to four nice parks all of them dog-friendly (Murphy Field, Ballard Park, Morton Park, and King's Park), as well as a family-friendly beach (Gooseberry Beach). We are also within walking distance to downtown heading north and to the Breaker’s Mansion and Cliff Walk heading east. You can easily access Newport's dining, shopping, and the area’s famous attractions!
Children will feel especially welcome and comfortable. They will be delighted to find a large family yard perfect for running and playing – as well as a swing set, sliding board, and outdoor toys. The nearby parks (three with playgrounds) and family-friendly beach are noted above.
This home was built using the concept of universal design. It is accessible for most wheelchairs; please ask us for specifics. Well-behaved doggies allowed; please ask for our 'Pet Policy'. Among the many thoughtful conveniences, your suite also includes free off-street parking in the driveway (space for two guest cars). 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.
LOCATION: We are within walking distance to central downtown (1.2 miles), a private family beach (0.6 miles), Salve Regina campus (0.5 miles), Breakers Mansion (0.9 miles), and Cliff Walk (1.0 miles). We are 1.3 miles from Fort Adams State Park. This is a great central location.
Wheelchair / Other Mobility Needs: For most guests with mobility needs (walkers, canes, standard-sized manual wheelchairs, etc.) or for those who can easily stand and pivot to transfer, this suite should prove accommodating. May not be suitable for power wheelchair users – please call us for specifics. We are, of course, happy to move (or remove) furnishings or scatter rugs as per your requirements. Floor plan (with measurements) available.

Great place to stay
We really enjoyed our trip to Rhode Island and our stay in Terri and Mike's home. They suite is very spacious clean and quiet. We both loved the afternoon treats together with the breakfast. If we travel to Rhode Island again we would like to stay here as they both made us feel like it was home.

Amazing
Absolutely amazing.. very warm and welcoming. Felt like I knew Terri and Mike forever and they are family. They go above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable as possible. You get unlimited water, and ice tea. Access to delicious english muffins, cereal, fresh fruits, scrumptious cookies and banana bread. Close to everything like cliff walk and downtown. Dog friendly and has a huge back yard and park across the street. Would stay here everytime.

25th Anniversary stay in Newport
Terri and Christine(I hope I spelled your name right!!) made us feel very comfortable-fresh fruit, cookies (chocolate chip,John's favorite :) ) The accommodations were clean and very cozy. We brought our 14lb. chihuahua, Chai. They even had cookies for her!! Their home is in a perfect location for easy access to Newport. Thank you both for a lovely stay!! John, Celeste and Chai

About the host

Hosted by Terri Fitch

Host profile image
Our travels have taken us to many lovely places – but, our fondest memories are of the people who made an extra effort to be kind, to be helpful, and who were genuinely warm and welcoming. We hope to provide that same experience for you. If there is anything we can do to make your stay more comfortable or convenient, please do not hesitate to let us know!

Why they chose this property

We are native 'Newporters' and we both grew up in this same great neighborhood. Although Terri moved to New York after college and Mike joined the Air Force, there simply is no place quite like Newport! We purchased this lot just before we were married and eventually returned home to our families and our roots. We first lived in a three-family home on the other side of the park and began welcoming guests there in 1996. A few years later, we were ready to build the current Hawthorne House . . . . . .

What makes this property unique

. . . . . . and we designed Hawthorne House specifically with guests in mind. In fact, we asked our guests to tell us what they wanted -- and we incorporated their suggestions into the design of the guest suite! Your suite is as private as you would wish. Or, if you are looking for sight-seeing or dining suggestions or if you would like to chat, we are happy to oblige! You will enjoy your own deck and gas grill, a private entrance and off-street parking. There is also a large lovely family yard with a swing set and toys and lots of room for running and playing. We look forward to welcoming you to Hawthorne House!
