About Stay Newport
Where it all started
Stay Newport is a local family business. Nobody knows Newport better.
STAY was born in 2017, right when short-term rentals started taking off on the island. We spotted an exciting opportunity to give rental homes a little extra sparkle by adding a higher-end, professional touch that would leave guests feeling pampered. But we didn’t stop there—our mission was to create an experience, not just a place to stay! Think of it like a hotel vibe, but with the cozy comforts of home.
Led by two Newport natives—sisters Brianna and Marielle—our small, dedicated team is all about quality, professionalism, and making sure everyone feels taken care of. Whether it’s providing a memorable getaway for our guests or offering top-notch service to our homeowners, we’re all in, and we absolutely love what we do! We take so much pride in every home we manage and every guest we welcome. We have since grown our team to support our growth and look forward to working with all our wonderful clients.
