Castle Hill Inn
It’s great to spend time in the beach house and beach cottage. Getting to fall asleep to waves crashing and wake to the sun rising over the ocean is a special experience. And the service by staff is just exceptional. The food is wonderful as well. We love coming here and coming back.

Private Houseboat In Beautiful Newport Harbor
What an awesome way to experience Newport - it was our first time on a houseboat and Daniel was so kind and informative during our stay. The best thing I can say is that I can not wait to visit again soon and stay on the Waterlily.

The Pell - Part of JdV by Hyatt
We did not have breakfast there. They said there was a $15 convenience fee. When I objected, the fee was taken off. The hotel was fine although the beds were soft. Easy parkIng.
