There’s a certain kind of summer you dream about There’s a certain kind of summer you dream about: breezy evenings, sandy feet from a spontaneous beach dip, rosé chilling in the fridge, and a house that feels like it was designed for you and your friends.

This is that house. Or rather—two of them.

Tucked in a peaceful pocket of Portsmouth, Rhode Island—just 20 minutes from downtown Newport, 5 minutes to the beaches, and 5 minutes to Bristol—557 East & West is a newly built, luxuriously appointed vacation (both short and long term) rental made for memory-making. Designed by the incredible team at @gmiarchitects, the architecture and interiors of these homes redefine modern luxury, with seamless attention to both form and function.

There are two side-by-side homes, each available to rent separately or together (perfect for a multi-family trip, bridal crew, or a “let’s-just-book-it” getaway with your favorite people). Each home sleeps seven and includes three airy bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and an open-concept layout that feels like equal parts retreat and Instagram mood board.

The furnishings? West Elm.
The linens? Plush and hotel-worthy.
The kitchen? Fully stocked, chef-friendly, and ideal for everything from pancake mornings to Aperol hour.

Outside, each home opens to a private patio, complete with ambient lighting, a grill, and the kind of quiet that makes you forget you’re just a short drive from the buzz of Newport. There’s even a spa-style outdoor shower, EV charging, and a large garage for bikes, surfboards, or however you summer.

This isn’t just a place to stay. It’s a place to stretch out, slow down, and soak it all in—ideally with a chilled glass of something and nowhere else to be.

A petty theft at a Newport retail shop turned into A petty theft at a Newport retail shop turned into the unraveling of a sprawling shoplifting operation stretching across multiple jurisdictions — thanks to sharp work by local detectives.

On May 26, 2025, two suspects brazenly walked out of Team One Newport on Thames Street with nearly $500 in stolen merchandise. Surveillance cameras caught the man and woman, riding off on a Suzuki motorcycle without paying a dime.

But Newport detectives weren’t about to let it slide.But Newport detectives weren’t about to let it slide.

Detectives Michael McCabe and Mark Lubin quickly went to work, using Flock camera technology and other tools to ID the culprits as Di J. “Dennis” DiPinto and Beverly DiPinto of Berkley, Massachusetts — a couple already familiar to law enforcement. Dennis had active warrants in both Cranston and Warwick for—you guessed it—shoplifting.

What began as a $471 theft spiraled into a major case. With support from the Berkley Police Department, Newport detectives secured arrest warrants and a search warrant for the suspects’ home.

On July 10, police from three agencies — including the Plymouth County Sheriff’s BCI and Bristol County K-9 Unit — descended on the DiPinto residence and found what they were looking for: more than $100,000 in stolen merchandise piled inside.

Both suspects were taken into custody without incident. Beverly was released on $10,000 surety bail. Dennis, a repeat offender, remains behind bars pending arraignment in Newport County, and is expected to be turned over to Cranston and Warwick authorities.

This wasn’t just shoplifting — it was systematic theft on a massive scale.

Newport Police praised the swift, coordinated effort between agencies that brought the pair down. Anyone with further information is asked to contact Detective McCabe at 401-845-5771.
