Sleepless in Newport
Prior to arrival I contacted the property owner to find out how to get in and got no response either through VRBO or the number in the listing. When we arrived at 3, I called the number in the listing and it was disconnected, so I started to think I was scammed. I finally got a text from a random number with a long list of rules and the access code. I let her know the number in the listing was wrong and she said the oops the area code was not right. Anyway we got access, the front fence is wobbly and the gate drags, but why use the gate when you can just walk through the area with missing fence. The place is clean and it is noted in the laundry list of rules to keep sand swept up, but a broom is not provided. Just a dust pan. It does have AC, but this is just in the back room and is a window unit that is noisy and drips condensation onto the bed pushed against the wall. No worries, you can just open the windows. Nope the windows are mostly painted shut except for the front east and west. The east window won't stay open and the west window stays open on it's own. The bed is firm but the pillows are soft. The sofa bed is extra firm and uncomfortable. The water pressure is good and the water is hot in the shower so no issues except that the shower fixture is loose. The toilet paper roll holder is also loose. If you plan to cook here, bring your own skillets, bakeware, cutting boards, and knives. It's a great street, but there are better rentals from what I saw
