America'S Cup Inn

America's Cup Inn: The Resort and Setting

America's Cup Inn sits at 6 Mary St in Newport, within walking distance of the harbour and the historic downtown. It's a small, independently operated property rather than a branded resort chain, which shows in the details: rooms are individually furnished in a Colonial-era style, breakfast is included, and guests have access to a rooftop deck for taking in the view. Google reviewers rate it 4.4/5 from 268 reviews, reflecting the personal, boutique feel of the place rather than a standardised big-resort experience.

Newport and Newport County

Newport has been a New England sailing and summer-colony town for well over a century, and that history is still the main draw. Within a couple of miles of the inn you'll find the Newport Mansions, the Gilded Age estates that put the city on the map, and the Cliff Walk, a 3.5-mile path along the Atlantic shoreline that links several of the mansion grounds. Newport Harbor itself is a short stroll away, lined with yacht clubs, sailboats and waterfront restaurants. Tennis history buffs can visit the International Tennis Hall of Fame, housed in the old Newport Casino, and the Preservation Society of Newport County oversees several of the historic houses open to visitors. It's a destination that rewards time on foot — downtown Newport is compact, and most of its best-known sights are within easy walking range of each other.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at America's Cup Inn and are ready to sell it on, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a direct, owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and buyers contact you through the platform. There's a small one-time listing fee and no commission taken on the sale — the price you agree with a buyer is the price you keep.

Because America's Cup Inn is an independent resort, any resale transfer goes through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a large branded exchange programme. Before agreeing on a price with a buyer, both sides should confirm directly with the resort what the current transfer fee is, whether the owners' association holds a right of first refusal on resales, and what the current annual maintenance fee is — none of this is standardised across independent resorts, so it needs checking case by case rather than assumed. A resale buyer typically takes on the usage rights for the week itself along with the ongoing annual fee obligation; anything beyond that — such as any loyalty or affiliation benefits tied to the original purchase — should be confirmed with the resort before the sale closes, since these don't automatically carry over.

Renters, meanwhile, are mainly drawn to Newport's walkability and seasonality: they want to know how close the inn is to the harbour and Cliff Walk, whether breakfast is included (it is), and whether the week falls in the busier summer stretch or the quieter shoulder months.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Listing on BidMyTimeshare.com doesn't require an agent — you manage your own listing, pricing and communication with interested buyers or renters. If you're buying a resale week here, ask the seller for the resort's contact details so you can verify transfer fees, annual fees, and any right-of-first-refusal process directly with America's Cup Inn before committing to a purchase.
