This property was spotlessly clean! The parking was easy and the area safe with walkable restaurants. It’s very close to first beach and the cliff walk. The coffee, fresh fruit and grab able breakfast options were perfect for us as well. The owner was super friendly with a very easy check in. I hope to stay again next time we are in Newport!

Hidden Gem By The Sea!!!

Came up to celebrate my 55 birthday with the wife. The location is a stones throw from Easton Beach, Cliff Walk, and many great seafood restaurants nearby. Room was very clean, bed was very comfortable, and we just loved the jetted tub in the bathroom. Had shopped around the same area for rooms, but for the price, this Inn is a hidden gem! Will be back before the end of the summer!

Extremely clean! Newly renovated beautiful property very well maintained. Will be back. Breakfast in the morning. My boyfriend is a coffee lover and was impressed with the quality ☕️!! Service was polite and answered any questions promptly
Joanna, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Rhea’s Inn was absolutely beautiful!!! We booked a king room with a deck which overlooked the ocean. The room and bathroom were large and exceptionally clean!!! Coffee and breakfast(bagels, muffins and fruit) were included. The owners was very friendly. He gave us a lot of recommendations in the area and chatted with us everyday. The surrounding area was nice, walkable, safe and only a few minutes to drive to downtown Newport. We loved it so much we recommended it to a family member who will be there later this year and they booked it also. We would definitely stay here again!!

This property was phenomenal. The energy was welcoming from the start. The room was very clean, not a speck of dust was found. A very cute and spacious room. The area of the inn was perfect as well. A good walk to the beach, local food places you can walk to all around, close to Newport where you can shop and eat. It was an enjoyable stay, affordable, and lovely. Will book again.
