Unique Townhouse Style Apartment 2 Bed/ 2 Bath/ Full Kitchen Dog friendly on Historic Spring St.

Escape to your own little apartment in downtown Newport. This dog friendly, two bed, two bath, townhouse style unit is very large and offers all of the comforts of home. The fully equipped kitchen is located down a spiral staircase and offers a private outdoor patio space. There is a living room with a pull out sofa, two full bathrooms, one bedroom with a king size bed, and the other with a full size bed. Each bedroom has their own TV and the unit has been recently upgraded with mini splits!



While we want our guests to enjoy their privacy, we are also readily available for anything you might need, from extra towels to dinner recommendations. Just send us a message or give us a call.

We are here to help and hope you enjoy your stay!

Howland House, located at 205 Spring Street, is in one of the best locations in Newport. You are a five minute walk to famous Newport landmarks such as: Bannisters & Bowens Wharf, Trinity and St. Mary's Church and The Black Pearl Restaurant. Truly, you are in the heart of it all with dozens of restaurants, shops, bars and sights right outside your door.

Hop in your car for a 10 minute drive to both the Ocean Drive and Bellevue Avenue Preservation Society Mansions.


Windward Suites properties are all keyless, and instead use keypad smart locks for all of the doors for both the buildings and units. All guests will receive an email the morning of their arrival with the instructions, codes to the doors and Wifi. Super easy!

Check-in time is anytime after 3:00 p.m. Check-out time is 11:00 a.m. Please be respectful of these times unless you have contacted us, as we have a cleaning crew who need the time to do a thorough job before and after all of our guests.

There are two on site parking spots which are on a first come first serve basis, but each unit also includes a parking pass for on street parking which is usually for Newport residents only.


Howland House is a classic historic, four unit, building with the original construction dating back to 1750. It is one of Newport's oldest homes predating the Revolution. It has undergone many updates and renovations to bring new world comfort with an old world feeling.

Located on the first and second floor, Unit 17 comes outfitted with everything you need to feel like you are in a home away from home. As you enter the unit you are welcomed by a large living room with pull out sofa. The living room has both a bathroom and bedroom off of it. The first bedroom with a king size bed, then opens to the second bedroom with a full size bed. From that bedroom you head down a spiral staircase to the first floor kitchen with private outdoor patio.

The kitchen is fully equipped with anything you could need and has a table which can seat six guests. There is also a full size bathroom off of the kitchen. All of Windwards properties are professionally cleaned between guests and come outfitted in high end linens and towels.

Aside from the cleanliness and uniqueness of the space, it is in one of the most sought after locations in Newport. You are steps away from Thames Street, Bannisters & Bowens Wharf, St. Mary’s church, and endless restaurants, bars, and shopping.

As hoped for
The place had all we needed. It was close to everything we wanted to be near (i.e., shops, restaurants) and within walking distance. Also, the parking pass was extremely useful whenever the two spots were taken. Definitely recommend and would stay again!

Newport weekend
A few friends ran the Newport 10 miler and when looking at ridiculous hotel prices we started looking for air b n b’s. The house had everything we needed including a kitchen to make our breakfast before the early morning run. It was very cute / charming. It was very convenient to walk downtown.

FANTASTIC
My mother and I have been planning a return trip to Newport for several years. This was the absolute BEST location! Close to everything, we walked everywhere (my Mom is 78), aside from the drvie to the Manions. The location was a short distance to the action, but just far enough that we didnt hear the weekend noise of bands, cars and people. Will ABSOLUTELY stay again when bakc in Newport!

Perfect in every way!
One block from the heart of town, restaurants, and fabulous shops. Off street parking. Beautifully updated historical property. We had a few minor concerns and they were promptly addressed (literally within minutes)! Could not have asked for a more perfect experience.

Wonderful Stay
We stayed for Labor Day weekend and had a wonderful and relaxing time. The checkin was so easy and the place was absolutely spotless. It was more spacious than what it appeared in the pictures and the kitchen is well stocked. Our 2 teenage kids loved that that they each had their own space. Not recommended for younger children due to multiple steps and spiral staircase to the kitchen. Other than that, highly recommend this spot. Easy walk to Thames St with all the dining, Easton Beach and the Cliff walk. The street parking pass was a huge help.

Great weekend stay!
This is the perfect location with lots of space. My family and I were quite comfortable staying here. The only drawback is that the unit isn't the most child friendly as there is a steep spiral staircase we didn't know about until we got there. Additionally, for whoever stays in the room with the queen bed, privacy could be an issue as guests staying in the room with the king bed will need to pass through the room with the queen bed to get to the kitchen downstairs. It would have been even better to also have filtered water which I'm accustomed to receiving at vacation homes. We overall very much enjoyed our stay!

Great Fall break with our daughter
Perfect accommodations for myself and my husband and our college daughter during her Fall Break. Great location to all the restaurants. Apartment building has 2 off-street parking spots which are shared by the other units in the building. This means they are not guaranteed however rental does include a onstreet parking pass. Just be aware that you may have to parallel park and walk a few blocks. It was a very busy weekend so finding onstreet parking was a bit challenging. Wonderful stay and we will definitely return!

Great location
We had a great trip with 3 generations. The apartment was clean and well furnished. Great location. Would definitely recommend this unit , but would clarify the layout and the stairs. We were limited in using the entire space bc only access to kitchen and 2nd bath is down on main floor via spiral stairs. So anyone who is older ir has poor balance, this may not work for you. In addition, wish the living room had a TV . i was not aware that the building was dog friendly and u unfortunately there were dogs in the unit below and across who barked late into the evening. We are dog owners so didn’t mind it too much but others might find that frustrating. Coffee supplies were plentiful and kitchen well stocked. As were the towels and blankets, beds comfy too We had a great time in Newport

What a great place!
I booked the Colony Suite for a getaway for my Mom and me. The suite has a unique setup that we found delightful and comfy. Both of us slept so well! The location is perfect - short walks to everything. Communications were quick, easy, and helpful. Would absolutely stay again!
