#7 is a welcoming, comfortable, and conveniently located cottage in first block from Newport Harbor, off Wellington Ave. [Home of Ida Lewis + New York Yacht Clubs]. The house has small back yard [maintained by owners] and has โ€˜spaciousโ€™ feel with Spencer Park directly opposite / facing #7. [Houses on only one side of Clinton St] Originally built in the 1890's, Cottage style. We fully renovated in the 80โ€™s, and have since then continuously kept up with repairs. We have re-painted & re-furbished several times, as needed. We always clean very thoroughly and freshen up with touch up paint etc before each new tenant.
In the Spring of 2024 we have spent some time repainting the outside front face of the house, re-stained the deck on the back of the house, and refinished the 'butcher block' counter top on the back deck.
In December 2020 we had an 'inverter' air-conditioning/heating system installed in #7 Clinton St. There is one main unit which covers the ground floor, with two mini 'splits' upstairs, one in each bedroom. Our guests since this change from window air conditioner units, have all mentioned that the air conditioning has been very comfortable and even, and they appreciate the quietness of the units.
In Dec 2021 a paved driveway was installed for the one off-street parking space.
There are finished wood floors and carpets throughout. Downstairs, a living room with tv, dining room, kitchen and 1/2bath. Lovely bright upstairs w/ skylights. The house is air conditioned using 'inverter' units.
The house is fully furnished and the kitchen is well equipped, just bring your suitcase! [please see photos for representation of items provided in cabinets, drawers and closets] Sleeps four w/ pullout couch for occasional guests. There is a Master bedroom suite, queen bed with separate sitting room. The washer & dryer are in a separate little room, off the master bedroom sitting room, and has an extra vanity sink for convenience. The second bedroom has two single beds, a skylight, and good view of Spencer park across the street. Both bedrooms have separate air/con units and tvs. We provide linens and bedding, and plenty of towels, including beach towels.
The wooden deck on back of house was extended in 2013 and has table and chairs, Gas Bar b q grill, umbrella & sun chairs. We have added a wooden counter on one side of the deck, with storage under for beach chairs etc.
Please see photos for representational details of household items, such as vacuum cleaners, mops and dusters etc, provided in closets.
We consider pets on an individual basis, please check with me about your pet.
Where our house is situated, it is a wonderful location for harbor-front walks in King Park, located at the end of Clinton St. Especially one can enjoy spectacular Sunset views across harbor to Fort Adams and the Newport Pell Bridge.

Summary: We spent 6 glorious weeks in Newport at the rental home of Biddy and Ed. I read all the reviews before coming and clearly, โ€œcleanโ€ and โ€œconveniently locatedโ€ were two constantly mentioned descriptions of the house. Well, both were very accurate but what was also true was that the house was warm and welcoming! It never felt like a rental house. There were all kinds of little touches such as power strips under beds, bureaus etc. If you needed to plug in your phone, laptop, iPad, you only needed to look down, and there was an outlet. Of all the houses we have rented over the years, not one was as fully equipped as the kitchen here. Some reviews mention that the owners, Biddy and Ed who live next door were helpful and pleasant. So true, but they were also sweet, wonderful folks who we so enjoyed meeting. They welcomed us and our Pomeranian Oscar as soon as we arrived. And, Biddy was a gardener โ€œextraordinaireโ€. The garden was filled with the most beautiful flowers both here and at their home. It was a pleasure to be outside cooking on that outstanding grill. Now, having said all that, Iโ€™m going to tell you what the biggest problem that this property has. It is going to spoil you for just about any future rental you may encounter. If Tina Turner was staying here, she would have described it as โ€œSimply the best, better than all the rest!โ€ Than you so much, Biddy and Ed.
