We booked an overnight at Admiral Sim’s last minute as we wanted a beach getaway for 2 days. We couldn’t be happier about our stay. It was just what we were looking for! It is close to beaches; we had a very nice and spacious room, clean, quiet and the inn keepers were very nice!!! We will definitely book again!

Newport getaway

This house is in a perfect location to walk to everything you want to enjoy in Newport. We parked our car when we arrived and didn't need it again the whole stay. The rooms are very comfortable and have everything you need to relax and they even serve homemade baked goods for breakfast. This is the second time I have stayed at Admiral Syms house and will definitely be back.

Perfect 4th of July

From the moment that we booked our room until we checked check out, it was flawless. Every attention to detail made our stay so comfortable. We love the location. We could walk to the cliff walk to downtown come to the beach. We will return.

Great Place to Stay in Newport!

We had a great stay here! Owners were very nice and easy to communicate with. The house is about a 20-25 minute walk to the busy part of Newport so we walked it most of the time but did need the occasional Uber. Rooms were spacious and clean. Bathroom was very nice. Definitely recommend staying here if you are visiting the area.

Newport gem.

If there were a 10 star rating I would give it. Our stay was perfect. Cozy room, comfortable bed, a sweet breakfast with home baked breads. The property is immaculate. The wrap around porch was a special bonus. We sat outside each evening sipping wine and playing games. The neighborhood is beautiful and very safe. It is walking distance to Cliff Walk. Convenient to everything. Marie and Shelly thought of everything a guest would need and provided it. Thank you so much for a perfect stay. We will be back.

Wonderful accommodations in Newport!

One of the best rentals we've ever stayed at. The house was fantastic, the room was immaculate and charming, the brand new porch area was very inviting.We were only there for one night, but would have definitely liked to stay longer. The owners really took care of making sure that the room had everything we could have imagined needing! Being able to bring our dog and have her feel comfortable in the room was fantastic! The house was in walking distance to downtown and the Cliff Walk. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this property to anyone looking for a stay in Newport!

Cozy in the Fall

Our stay was in November and we traveled from Florida to enjoy some cooler weather and enjoy the history of the Northeast. Check in was easy and communication was excellent. The room was equipped with everything we needed. It was very clean and in a beautiful safe neighborhood.

Great 4 Day Getaway

Just want to leave a quick review. The King Room w/Kitchenette at the Admiral Sim’s house was the perfect spot for us for our Newport 4 day getaway. Very clean room, clean bathroom with everything you might need for your stay. Kitchenette was just the perfect size for everything we needed, bed was very comfortable, location is fantastic to get anywhere around Newport. Also you couldn’t ask for a nicer, more responsive host! Thank you again!
