Private Heated Pool | Upscale Newport & Navy Oasis

#ChiquitaCasita has been thoughtfully designed to provide a relaxing homebase for adventure. Enjoy local wineries & breweries, surfing, and 3 beaches all just a couple miles away. Between May 1 and Oct 30 the heated in-ground salt water pool is the perfect hangout spot.

Situated in a quiet residential neighborhood, this spacious 4 bedroom and 2.5 bath home provides families and friends with everything you’ll need to enjoy an unforgettable vacation.

You will not be asked to strip beds, take out garbage, or do other onerous cleaning before you check-out.

Inside the house you’ll find a formal dining room with place settings for up to 12. 10 can be seated comfortably at the dining room table. A spacious living room features a couch for 10, and 60 inch flatscreen TV. A large and fully stocked kitchen makes it easy for families and friends to prepare meals together. With enhanced cleaning measures, and a spotless track record of cleanliness, #ChiquitaCasita is your Newport poolside oasis.

The updated kitchen features granite countertops and is fully stocked with dishware, cookware, silverware, etc. Four bedrooms are made with luxury linens, and soft rich towels. Each of the three bathrooms are stocked with hand towels to provide a luxury experience. Wall-mounted flat screen TVs combine comfort and functionality for your stay at this island escape.

The heated salt water pool has a 10 foot deep end and 3 foot shallow end. The pool will reopen for the 2024 season on May 1 and will close Oct 23.

Located off the Newport Pell Bridge and West Main Road, #ChiquitaCasita is 3.1 miles and 12 minutes from downtown Newport, and around the corner from the Navy Base and NUWC. The driveway parks four cars easily, with two additional parking spaces on the street in front of the house. A quick drive or shared ride to the beaches and downtown Newport are $8-12 standard fare, and up to about $30 for late-night surge pricing.

#ChiquitaCasita is ideal for groups who want the benefits of a private pool and a safe, spacious, clean, and upscale stay while visiting the Newport area. There are two king and three queen size memory foam beds for a great night sleep for up to 10 guests. The oversized living room couch or an air mattress offer practical sleeping arrangement for up to 1 additional guest. #ChiquitaCasita is strictly limited to 11 guests.

Hosts and their guests are encouraged to enjoy the large backyard into the evening. One of our core values is to be a good neighbor. We extend this 5-star experience to you, our guests, as well as our neighbors. This means we have a zero-tolerance policy for late night parties. Middletown’s noise ordinance starts at 10pm every day of the week. Activities must come inside and windows should be closed if volume will impact our neighbors and their children. Thank you for respecting our island community, and our commitment to be a good neighbor.

A Middletown town ordinance limits guests to 2 adults per bedroom. Additional children are allowed. This rental is properly registered with the state, and the town and receives an annual town inspection.

For your safety the space is equipped with smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors. There is also a flashlight, first aid kit, and fire extinguisher located under the kitchen sink. An additional fire extinguisher can be found immediately inside the basement door. Cleaning supplies now remain available to guests during their stay.

A full-size washer and dryer are available in the downstairs bathroom.

No smoking or vaping of any kind is allowed in the house. If you wish to smoke, please do so in the backyard at least 20 feet from the doors and windows. Please safely extinguish and throw out your butts in the outside trash.

All of the TV's in the house operate on an Amazon Fire Stick. We maintain paid access to Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu's premium service which includes great on demand and live content. Guests are welcome to login to services like Netflix with their own credentials if they prefer to. The Amazon Fire Stick home screen makes this intuitive and easy.

You'll have the whole house all to yourself.

Keypad entry allows for contactless check-in and check-out. Pre COVID, Claire and I made every effort to welcome guests in person. Now, we ask guests in advance if they would prefer to meet us, or not.

We live about one mile away. Guests are welcome to reach out with questions about the Newport area.
We know that people like to come to Newport to have fun (it's part of why we love Newport). This is a house for large groups. It is not a house for loud late night parties. In the same way that we all value keeping our oceans clean of plastic, we ask you to help keep our community quiet at night so that we can all rest and enjoy the day to come.

Summer traffic in Newport can be the worst. Uber and Lyft are recommended for evenings out downtown. Once you're downtown, don't forget that a pedicab is usually a great option to get around that area. Make sure to carry cash because they operate on tips only.
During your stay at this vacation home, you'll be close to Newport Mansions. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the vacation home.
  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washer/dryer, and 3 bathrooms
  • Free WiFi
  • 10 minutes by car from Newport Mansions and 5 minutes from Newport Vineyards
This vacation home offers its guests barbecue grills and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

Spacious yet cozy
I stayed at this property during a late Fall work trip to Newport. I didn’t get to enjoy the pool but I can see how amazing it would be to stay here in the summer. Everything was just as expected. Getting in was super easy. Edward even mailed a package back to me that arrived after my departure. Very fast communication. I would love to try to snag this gem for Newport Folk Fest.

Perfect Location
This house was exactly as described and the perfect location. We were able to relax and cook here and were able to use this as home base for trips all around the area. If you’re going to the Navy base, this house is only 5 minutes away. We would stay here again. The hosts even provided great tips on food and activities in the area!

Great family home to gather a large group
This family home had everything you could need to relax. Stocked kitchen, laundry, and 2.5 baths made our stay easy with ten guests. The pool and large backyard was an added bonus. We rented due to the proximity to base. We would return.

Clean, comfortable, convenient
Special touches like soaps, makeup wipes and a great variety of coffee options made our stay just that much more comfortable. We've stayed in many places around the world and these are things we haven't really seen elsewhere. The beds were comfortable, the pool was wonderful. All in all, we enjoyed our stay very much and would return. Thanks, Edward and Claire!

Perfect Vacation Home for Family
Our memorable week spent at Edward's home was perfect for our 7 adult family members and two toddlers. The home was clean and had everything we needed. The kitchen was well supplied. The bedrooms were a good size and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We had a ball in the ground pool. It's location was close to everything. Edward was a responsive host. Thank you Edward & Claire!

Great stay
Very close to Newport with an in ground pool, good sized backyard and very attentive host. Probably the most well stocked vacation rental I’ve been to(Nespresso!) Two minute drive to Aldi and a six or seven drive to stop and shop as well. Cozy interior with large flat screens in every room as well as fire sticks on each of them. Would stay again!

Amazing home and host!
We stayed in this home for Salve Regina’s graduation weekend. The home was the perfect space for our family 7. The was immaculate and the outdoor space was an added bonus! The home is fully stocked beyond my expectations! The location was perfect to be close enough to the university and all Newport offers while being far enough for quiet. Communication with the host was exceptional!! Thank you for making this weekend so memorable!

We had a great stay here. The home was perfect and comfortable. We were in town to meet our new granddaughter and needed a space that could accommodate my mom, my daughter and grandson, my husband and I. This was the place!! We had room for more! Can’t wait to come back and use the pool!!! Also want to check out more of the restaurants that were recommended. This was one of the best places we’ve stayed, thank you!!!

Perfect in Every Way
We travelled to Newport for our son's graduation from Navy OCS. My wife and I, my parents, my wife's parents, and our son's girlfriend all stayed at Chiquita Casita. Our party were all adults, but the home would be great for families with kids as well. The house was perfect and exactly as described. The home was neat as a pin, and the hosts had it well stocked. The coffee and espresso machines were very much appreciated. The toiletries were a nice unexpected touch. Edward and Claire were extremely responsive and the communication was spot on. The pool was amazing even in October. The location was just what we needed due to its proximity to the Naval Base, sight seeing, shopping, and entertainment. This was our first time in Newport, and we look forward to going back for a longer stay. When we do, Chiquita Casita will be top on the list of places to stay.

Every you need was supplied
This was the most organized stay we had at any Vrbo rental. From the communications from our host to our stay was enjoyable. The host thought about how to make our stay easier starting off with a personalized welcome sign to a booklet of local places to eat. The host thought about how to make our stay more comfortable. I would recommend staying here. Thank you

All had fun
Arrived with 6 adults ,6 children under 9, with 2 being toddlers . The pool was perfect ,clean , large and heated . The beds super comfy and the house very clean . Edwards was very attentive and responded with any needs we had. Went to First and Second beach 10 minutes away . Some of the family went to the Rail explorer 9 minutes away and loved it. You know it was good when the kids cry when they have to leave . The only thing we had to get was stair gates because there are 3 floors and charcoal for the grill.
