The Happy Clam is a large stylish comfortable home with walls of windows, including a two story great room. This makes for wonderful viewing of the water, sky and historic bridge. Inspiring in any kind of weather. The location is ideal:

* sits right on the quiet south jetty with great views from the bay to the ocean - birds and seals are constantly in view as are fishing boats cruising by

* is at the epicenter of fun stuff, all within walking distance - a serene beach, clam beds, biking, pier for crabbing, marina, Rogue Brewery, marine attractions including the fabulous Aquarium and marine science center, restaurants, shops, glass blowing, bike trails and miles of beach.

* is wonderfully comfortable for a great night's sleep, lounging, and fully equipped for fun activities including games, ping pong, pool table, foosball

* close to fun festivals, 5 min. walk to WINE AND SEAFOOD FESTIVAL and others.

5 BEDROOMS TOTAL (including small bunk bed room) with addition of ground floor apartment or:

MAIN HOUSE ( up to 08 guests) can be rented separately at approximately $100 less per night (see vrbo.com/315491) but most groups of 8 or more prefer the entire house to spread out.

The main part of the house is on the second and third level which is also why the views are so good. There we have 3 bedrooms (1-King and 2 Queens) plus a bunk room (small room with bunk beds) and a loft area with a pull-out couch. The bedrooms all have walk-in closets and baths. There are 3 HDTV's and plenty of couches and chairs. The master bedroom has a double walk-in closet, so large a twin mattress can be put in one side for an extra sleeping place.

The dining table seats 8 (10 can work) and the kitchen counter seats 3. The kitchen is stocked with dishes, pans, pots, cutlery, spices, flour, sugar.

APARTMENT is included in this option (VRBO 914857) and rates. It is a cheerful space on the first level of the home. It has a bedroom with a queen bed, a bath, a small living room and kitchen plus another HDTV. It's nice to have this space for those that are bit noisier or need more quiet time -- depending on the group.

The Happy Clam is great for smaller families and is also perfect for expanded family get-togethers, retreats, book and other clubs, reunions, birthday or other special days (including surprises) - or just plain getting away from the routine. There is no bad season to hang at the Happy Clam. It's always relaxing and never boring.

Ring doorbells with video exist outside the house for security purposes.

Great get together

We celebrated my Dads 82nd birthday. The lower apartment was perfect for my Dad to stay in and allowed him to be able to come upstairs and join the rest of the big crazy family and then go to bed early. Loved that there was a bathroom for every bedroom and a ton of space! The windows were massive and we enjoyed watching the boats and sea lions in the bay. It was very clean and had everything we needed.

Lovely home perfect for our large group

We stayed here with our family (7 of us) and it was perfect. Beautiful views. Enough bedrooms and space to spread out. It’s walking distance to the aquarium which we really enjoyed. This was our first time to Newport and we’ll be back as we didn’t have enough time to explore it thoroughly.

This was a perfect place for our large group for an extended stay. It was on 3 levels which allowed us to spread out and be alone or meet up on the main level (The Middle one) if we wanted to visit, play games etc....... Quiet neighborhood and the host was great to communicate with. Lots of parking a BIG Bonus for a large group and within walking distance to a lot of fun things to do in Newport. we had a great time and would recommend to anyone.

Great location, convenient for walking to the beach or aquarium. Very well equipped kitchen is perfect for staying in. Fun game room in the garage with pool and ping pong tables. Lots of light and incredible view of the river and bridge. Huge primary suite. Very welcoming and communicative host. Would highly recommend.

Bridge hide out

The property was almost below the Newport bridge. This was a family reunion so rented the whole property. The main floor kitchen concern was the lack of storage for non perishable food. My daughter in law is 5’2” and the only storage bins were above the refrigerator that she could not reach. We moved the main cooking to the apartment where there was lots of food storage and a gas stove. Location and property exactly what we wanted. The grandkids went crabbing 3 days in a row off the public dock not far from the house. Crab pots are provided in the rental. We frequented the Rogue Brewery that was within walking distance. So was the Aquarium.
