The Newport Overlook is bay front next to the Pell Bridge in Jamestown. Check in was quick and we were given the corner unit. Great view!! Our unit has two bedrooms and two full baths upstairs. There was a third bathroom downstairs by the front entrance.
The units on the outside show some weathering but the inside of our unit was well kept. The carpet & drapery looked pretty new. The master bedroom has a balcony. There is a BBQ, table and chairs just outside the patio downstairs. There is also washer and dryer in the unit.
Their sister property, Bay Voyage Inn, is located close by and they offer 24 hour coffee and muffins in the morning. The front desk there is open 24 hours to service both properties. All staff we met during our stay were very helpful and friendly. We got discount coupons to location winery, restaurants and attractions, including the mansions at Newport. Wireless internet is available.
We bought lobsters at the Newport Bowen pier (Aquidneck Lobster Co). It was fun picking your own lobsters.
If you want to plan some day trips during your stay, Boston, Mystic Seaport & Village, Foxwoods casinos, Providence, Narragansett are not too far away. Newport mansions are a must-see. Also do the cliff walk and the 10-mile drive.....
There is so much to do in the area and it is wonderful to get back to the unit to relax and enjoy the bay front view at the end of the day!

A very roomy townhouse with all the comforts of home. We loved the location and all the amenities! Our townhouse had a fireplace in the living room (which created great atmosphere for our lobster dinners when we used those Duralogs), the corner unit had a great view, a large patio with grill and table for outdoor dining, large bathrooms, 2 floors of space, ample kitchen and appliances, pool with bridge view, plus the water views of Narragansett Sound.

We ate at the townhouse a lot, using the full kitchen to cook. We didn't go out to dinner in Newport at all, so we might have missed some great places. But we found lobsters and clams at the state piers for so cheap (about $5 a piece or $1.70 a pound for clams) so why go out to eat??? We cooked seafood at the townhouse and had our choice of cold micro-brewed beer, it was a perfect gastronomic week on vacation!

An older resort directly on the Sound, but not tired. I highly recommend it! The living room is the most updated with lots of comfortable furniture. The king size bed was comfortable, the bathrooms were probably the oldest, but the master bath was very large and easy to use, a first floor guest room with 2 beds and bath, plus washer and dryer. It was all clean and we didn't notice anything that really needed to be repaired, I had no complaints at all. (No bugs in New England is a great plus!. That's a big thing I look for in notes from travelers, I don't want to bring anything home with me, so if you ever see any, write it in your reviews please.)

The Overlook was super convenient to get over to Newport via the Jamestown Bridge (You can buy tokens at 10 for $10 rather than paying $2 each trip). We had a great time exploring the area all around Newport, Jamestown and into the countryside of Rhode Island. Rhode Island is really lovely, relaxing and laid-back. There are great drives all aroudn the state. Exploring the New England homes or wineries are great ways to spend the day. One must is the Newport Storm Brewery. We went for their Friday night happy hour Tour and had a great time! You get four full pints of beer to sample, plus you get to keep the pint glass. We will definitely do that again. It was a delicious and fun experience. If you're into sailing or boating, Newport is an obvious choice for many activities around the sport.

I often think of this trip, the relaxing Overlook resort, the wonderful food of R.I. and hope to go back for sure!!!!

just finishing a trip in the off season. Units are spacious (we had an end unit) had all the amenities of a timeshare condo. Beds were hard I have to admit, that was a bummer. The location was great in the quiet section of Jamestown and yet min from Newport over the bridge. The view was spectacular at night with the lights on the bridge. We had a bit of a small ant problem that they had stuff down for, but would have prefered it not, but stuff happens. Pillows yucky, bring your own. We hit so many places from Boston, Mystic Seaport, Newport, and Cape Cod all for day trips it was great. Liked the idea of not a lot of people being around. No big things to do at the resort, but this isn't that type of area in my opinion, its meant for you to go do things!! DID NOT HAVE WIFI, this needs to be changed in my opinion. Made it hard to plan the next adventures.

My family and I spent a really enjoyable week at this resort that is located just across the bay from Newport. The unit was very clean, well appointed, large and spacious with two decks that overlooked the bay. It came fully stocked with dinnerware, pots, pans, etc. and a gas BBQ grill. The DVD player and stereo were a really nice touch as was the wine cabinet. BYOB!!! There is a nice pool and a hot tub in a common area. Very Clean. The staff was very friendly. The town of Jamestown is wonderful. The pace was slow and relaxed here, but within a 10 minute drive or less you can be in Newport to go site seeing, dining, shopping. I would consider this a really peaceful vacation overall. The resort is situated right by the Pell Bridge, but it really did not detract. My daughter would've liked more action right at the property, as she is nearly 14, but we were out and about most of the day shopping and site seeing. There are only 18 units here and they are well maintained. I would highly recommend this resort!
