One of the most original and elegant Newport RI lodging, Captain Simeon Potter House, circa 1723, is an Award Winning historic renovation; the home was a featured recipient of the 2004 Newport Preservation Award. Located on the water in the oldest section of Newport “the Point” this lovely Newport Rhode Island bed and breakfast enjoys premium views of the Bay and the evening sunsets; one can relax with the wafting of the gentle, summer breeze in the color and song of the garden. The "Point" is the oldest section of Newport and it is designated a National Historic Landmark District. The Captain Simeon Potter House is located on the "Point" and registered on the National Trust for Historic Preservation. In early 2002 restoration work started on these circa 1723 Newport RI accommodations. In December 2004 it was completed, and in the same year the project received the Historic Preservation Award for outstanding restoration. The "Point" is a charming quiet neighborhood with fabulous nightly sunset views. The house is a short walk from the bustling action of town upon which you can walk along the water.
