Can't say enough about the property and it's management. Cleanest place I've ever been in. The room was quiet and the bed very comfy. Management was great---professional and very accommodating. Great variety of food for breakfast and snacks. Would definitely stay here again.
Great place to stay. Convenient to the beach and the Cliff walking tour not to mention, Flo's Seafood, great fish and chips. Will most definitely stay here again.
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!
The owner was very pleasant to engage with and made my family feel comfortable the whole time. Service was great, rooms were clean and close walking distance to the beach makes it an ideal spot for any family on a vacation. I would fully recommend this place to anyone!

vary clean and comfortable .
Pleasant check in and check out. Good location, comfortable room, and all around positive experience. Easy walk to the Cliff Walk, several restaurants in the mmediate vicinity.
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.

This place is absolutely the best!!! Our host was so hospitable, the rooms, neat as a pin, and the snacks and continental breakfast surpassed any we’ve ever experienced. We would love to return!!!
This place was perfect! Stayed in the jacuzzi room and it was so worth it after a long day of fishing! The whole property was so clean and beautiful. The room was absolutely spotless and even smelled clean which was refreshing. Would definitely recommend and come back!
Great property. Walkable dining options. The room was a good size and very clean. The property is also an easy drive into Newport. We will definitely keep Rhea's in mind the next time we visit the area.
The people who run Rhea’s were friendly and accommodating.
