Tucked in the heart of Newport's Historic Yachting Village, Waypoint Cottage sits among the original sail lofts where artisans once crafted the sailcloth that powered the harbor's iconic yachts. Surrounded by this rich maritime heritage, the home is just a short stroll to the harborfront at the end of the street, where a scenic waterfront path leads to King Park, the New York Yacht Club and Ida Lewis Yacht Club.
Originally built in 1892, this boutique cottage has been thoughtfully reimagined preserving its architectural character, original structure, and the timeless spirit of the era, while seamlessly integrating modern comfort.
From the private courtyard bathed in natural light offering a serene setting for morning coffee, to the open living spaces filled with soft coastal light, every detail has been carefully curated to blend Newport's storied charm with modern luxury and the personal touches that transform a stay into unforgettable memories.

Real experiences from real guests — families, couples, and groups who made Newport their home away from home.
"This house was perfect for a relaxing girls' weekend! You can walk to restaurants and shops, but the neighborhood was quiet. The house was spotless, tastefully decorated, and well-stocked with everything you need. The extra touches made it feel so special: flowers, snacks, spare phone chargers. We appreciated Linda's hospitality and would return at any time."
"I cannot put into words how perfect this house was for our family — we were celebrating our daughter's wedding and wanted everything to go well. The best Airbnb I've ever stayed at for the price, and we've been all over the country! Linda went above and beyond and stocked the house with everything you'd need. Perfect in every way — I will definitely be back!"
"We used Linda's house as family headquarters for our daughters' wedding weekend. Linda was very accommodating and the house easily fit all 8 of us. It's situated in the center of everything, with a very private and comfortable backyard for relaxing after events. Everyone who came through was very impressed. I would highly recommend for any visit to Newport — 10/10."
Charming gem in the heart of Newport
"My husband and I stayed with our daughter, son-in-law, and one-year-old granddaughter — it was perfect and beautifully appointed. Plenty of space and privacy. An easy ten-minute walk to Bowen's Wharf with shops and restaurants in between. We are so lucky to have found this home and would highly recommend. Linda was great and just a phone call away."
Perfect Location, Amazing Home!
"Linda's home is beautiful and has everything you need — from a fully stocked kitchen to towels for the beach and beyond. The backyard with the fireplace was the perfect place to start and end each day. The location cannot be beat — we walked to and from every activity and meal. Thank you Linda for a memorable and lovely stay in beautiful Newport!"
