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.

Unit 18 is located on the second floor and is bathed in natural sunlight. The unit has been recently refreshed with new decor. The french doors opening to the bedroom and hardwood floors throughout make it feel charming and warm.

All of Windwards properties are professionally cleaned between guests and come outfitted in high end linens and towels.

Aside from the cleanliness of the space, it is in one of the most sought after locations in Newport. Right outside your door you can spot historic St. Mary’s Church, and you are steps away from Thames Street, Bannisters & Bowens Wharf, and endless restaurants, bars, and shopping.

Perfect location cozy space
We almost don’t want others to know what a great spot this is! Very relaxing, only moved car once over a four night stay. Well equipped, location is optimal. Had all toiletries and a loaded keurig coffee station Wasn’t a problem for us, but stairs were on the steep side if mobility is a concern. Keyless entry was great!

Fantastic stay at Howland House
We had a fantastic 2-night stay at Howland House which is perfectly located for getting around town. The restaurants & shops are mostly within a short walking distance — no need to drive! This was our first stay with our 5 month old Alaskan Malamute puppy who loves to travel. Keith & Matt provided plenty of helpful information prior to our stay & even checked in with us to be sure everything was in working order. Howland House has been added to our list of great places to stay. Cheers to Keith & Matt ~ Kind regards, Kent & Wendy Werner

Lovely Quick Getaway
My husband and I had a lovely time for our quick getaway here celebrating our 20th anniversary. There is ample space to relax, and it’s very clean, light and airy. The bed was extremely comfortable. Due to it being an older home, we were able to hear noise from the outside, but that’s to be expected. When we had trouble with parking when we arrived, the owner came up with a solution immediately, and allowed us to park at another one of his properties close by since we were only staying for a couple of days. Overall, it is a beautiful place for a couple to stay.

Amazing Newport trip
Our stay was amazing and super close to everything. Place was super clean and a great location. Every meal we had was amazing and got to see a lot in 2 days. Only downside was parking, especially on Saturday it was near impossible to get a spot even close to the place we stayed.

Great Location
This is a great location with easy access to everything along the waterfront. Parking is a challenge all around Newport warterfront/wharf area and it's also a challenge in the historic district where this property is located. The property has 2 reserved spots available for the property, but they're not reserved for a particular suite, which could be a challenge if you don't get one of the two spots and have to park on the street. We had no issues. Property appears to be a bit larger in pictures than it feels when you enter, but it's still extremely confortable and a very nice place to stay. We enjoyed it.
