Perfect location for wedding weekend

I picked this property for my future son in law and groomsmen. A long time Newport visitor, I loved the location across from Pat O’Brien’s and on the wharf. The groomsmen were slow to move out on check out day which was annoying. My VRBO app glitches so I had no idea. Bill called me and let me know, he was very understanding. Overall, I highly recommend the property. Bill was very communicative and friendly.

Parking was tight when one of your cars is an F250 crew cab but we make it work without issue. Location is outstanding except for O'Brien's. Each night got louder and later before it quieted down. This is the only reason I would try a different location if I returned to Newport.The hosts were extremely responsive and accommodating

House was very nice and well appointed. Perfect space for three couples. It was nice to just head out the door and walk everywhere. We appreciated the parking passes and lovely flower arrangement. Perfect weather too! All in all a lovely week in Newport. Thanks to our hosts!

We loved staying at 5 Waite’s Wharf! We’ve been coming to Newport for 11 years and have stayed at various locations. This one was perfect. Steps the Lower Thames and close to everything. The house is great. Very clean and great space for our family of five to spread out. I wasn’t sure about the proximity to OBriens noise-wise but it was not an issue in the least in July (ac units in windows may have helped?). The hosts were responsive but we really didn’t need anything more than everything they provided which was plenty! Parking worked out well with our smaller car in the driveway, and the parking lot with parking pass a short walk for our second oversized SUV. Would surely stay here again.

Location was great

Just remember there is a pub close bye so you will get some late night street noise on the weekend. We stayed the 2nd weekend of the 4th so maybe busier than normal. 8 adults & 3 kids fit perfectly in this well maintained house.

Great house in the middle of it all

Great layout for multiple families. Even though it is right by a popular pub you can hardly tell with the sound machines in all the rooms.
