Guests are encouraged to enjoy the large backyard into the evening. We want to extend this 5-star experience to you our guests, as well as our neighbors. One of our core values is to be a good neighbor. This means we have a zero-tolerance policy for late night parties. Middletown’s noise ordinance starts at 10pm each day of the week.

Activities must come inside at 10pm, and windows should be closed if volume will impact our neighbors and their children. Thank you for respecting our island community, and our commitment to be a good neighbor.

A Middletown town ordinance limits guests to 2 adults per bedroom. Additional children are allowed. Our rental is registered with the state, and the town. The town inspects the house annually for safety.
The house is equipped with smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors. There is also a flashlight, first aid kit, and fire extinguisher located under the kitchen sink.

No smoking or vaping of any kind is allowed in the house. If you wish to smoke, please do so in the backyard at least 20 feet from the doors and windows. Please safely extinguish and throw out your butts in the outside trash.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a flat-screen TV with Netflix. The bathroom offers hair dryers and free toiletries. Other standard amenities include a washer/dryer, a fenced private yard, and a coffee maker. Change of towels is available on request.

Cute, Quaint Stay with A Responsive Owner

Stayed here for President’s Day weekend with family and friends. The 11 of us were very comfortable and appreciated the responsiveness of the owner to answer questions and address our needs. We will definitely return during the warmer months when the pool is open to take advantage of that feature of the property, along with the inviting backyard and lounge area. Thanks

Spacious yet cozy

I stayed at this property during a late Fall work trip to Newport. I didn’t get to enjoy the pool but I can see how amazing it would be to stay here in the summer. Everything was just as expected. Getting in was super easy. Edward even mailed a package back to me that arrived after my departure. Very fast communication. I would love to try to snag this gem for Newport Folk Fest.

This house was exactly as described and the perfect location. We were able to relax and cook here and were able to use this as home base for trips all around the area. If you’re going to the Navy base, this house is only 5 minutes away. We would stay here again. The hosts even provided great tips on food and activities in the area!

Perfect in Every Way

We travelled to Newport for our son's graduation from Navy OCS. My wife and I, my parents, my wife's parents, and our son's girlfriend all stayed at Chiquita Casita. Our party were all adults, but the home would be great for families with kids as well. The house was perfect and exactly as described. The home was neat as a pin, and the hosts had it well stocked. The coffee and espresso machines were very much appreciated. The toiletries were a nice unexpected touch. Edward and Claire were extremely responsive and the communication was spot on. The pool was amazing even in October. The location was just what we needed due to its proximity to the Naval Base, sight seeing, shopping, and entertainment. This was our first time in Newport, and we look forward to going back for a longer stay. When we do, Chiquita Casita will be top on the list of places to stay.
