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.

This was our second time staying at the Happy Clam and our family once again loved our time there. The host is great and very welcoming, and the house itself is perfect for larger groups like ours. Everything is clean and the house is stocked with everything you’ll need during your trip. Looking forward to our next visit.
We celebrated my husbands 80th birthday at the house. It was so great to have a place all 10 of us could comfortably fit. The views are magnificent and the location is perfect. We had a great time. My husband said it was the best birthday he ever had.
The house was everything it claims to be plenty of room for large families and more. Tha Owners are amazing and helpful. The home had plenty of things to do games, pool table, ping pong, crab pots and close to much more. We would definitely stay here again.
We had eight people stay all over 60 we had a wonderful time. The kitchen has a nice supply of pots and pans for cooking large table to eat at and play games at walking distance to the pier overall, we enjoyed our stay very much.
We all had a great time. The property was all (and more) than advertized. I live in Newport and it was a great place to have an event with a large large family, some livng locally and others from out of town. the location is great!
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.
We are a group of four couples who have been coming to Newport every winter for the last 15 years. This is the second time we have stayed at the Happy Clam. It is such a great place. Plenty of room for all of us. Great kitchen and living area. We plan to return next year.
Our second time here for a family reunion. It’s clean and comfortable. Lots of room for a big group. The kids loved the activities in the garage. It was fun to walk down to the ocean at the end of the jetty in front of the house. We hope to come back!
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.
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.
The house is close to everything: beach and water and shopping and food
It is well-equipped and one night we stayed in to play foos ball and pool
Gary defined all check-in and check-out procedures well We enjoyed our time in Newport. Thanks Gary
What a great long weekend we spent in your beautiful beach home! It was perfect for our whole family to stay together, including our three grown daughters, spouses and two young grandsons. We loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom! The downstairs apartment was perfect for our daughter/spouse with two young children. The house is well-equipped with everything we needed and more! We will definitely be back😊 Thank you for sharing your lovely home!
Our 4th year at The Clam 1st year was during COVID. Our host, Gary, is the best. His cleaning crew is the best. The property is the best. We each love our own personal space and we have it at The Clam. Great views. Great location. End of story.
This is the perfect place for an extended family gathering. We had multiple generations from age 9 to 86 and everyone had such a wonderful time. 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.
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.
Absolute, wonderful place to stay. Close to crabbing, seal and bird watching from the house, crabbing and clamming equipment. It was everything our group needed. We all agreed we would stay at the Happy Clam again!
