Highly Recommend
The house was clean, spacious, and beautifully designed. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to cook meals, and the living room had comfortable seating and a large TV for relaxing in the evenings. Equally as great as the home was the location - quick walk to the beach, restaurants, and stores. Ron, the host, was a pleasure. Would definitely rent again!

Beautiful Place with Quick Walk to Beach
This place was absolutely gorgeous! It is a super quick walk to the beach/boardwalk which was very nice. Beach chairs and towels for us to use was a nice added benefit. Everything is new and updated, we wish could have stayed longer.

Stupendous Stay at the Surf Casita
My family of 4 enjoyed our stay at this property for a week. It is modern, fresh, clean and packed with amenities. We loved being minutes from the beach (a short walk), boats, food and drink. We also liked that we were on a small, quiet street. I would definitely stay here again. Ron is a fabulous host! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The property was very well presented with updated finishes, furnishings and amenities. The location is great with easy access to the harbor and ocean beaches. The technology was a little challenging at first but after awhile it was manageable. The host Ron was easy to reach by phone or text. All and all a great place to vacation and relax.

Great location near Newport Pier
Very clean , modern, cookware enough to prepare simple meals, lots of towels including beach towels, plenty of toilet paper & paper towels & napkins..also hand soap & shampoo, etc was there. Salt pepper, cooking oil was there& enough plates & silverware…dishwasher was a little finicky but usually did the job. Very nice to have a shared garage & private patio. It was a little tricky having dogs with us as we had to walk blocks away for them to “do their business” as there is no grass or dirt close by…

Relaxing beach stay!
The property was so cute and very clean. There was a lot of attention to detail to make it cozy. We loved how close it was to the beach/restaurants. We absolutely loved the outside patio area where our 4 year old loved to take her toys and play. Ron was very pleasant to communicate with and made our stay enjoyable! Only things to note in case it matters to you: there is another property above you so you can hear the other tenants sometimes, you share the garage, and you share the washer/dryer. This didn’t deter us and Ron made sure we were as comfortable as possible.

Wonderful host and place
Ron was one of the most responsive hosts we’ve ever had with vrbo. Clearly takes pride in this place and he thought through all of the little details - appreciated his house manual and Newport Beach recommendations. Very clean place and firm comfortable beds. The location is optimal; with a short walk to the beach, the marina, and the fun summer nightlife. We brought our dog and he loved the access to 2 fenced-in, outdoor patios. Excellent washer/dryer as well. There is also a 711 on the corner to grab any extras needed. Fantastic stay.

Beautiful upgraded house in a perfect location
We would rate this in our top 3 stays with VRBO. It was me, hubby and one teen and one tween boy. House was super modern and clean. Great technology hook ups and TVs, patio for grilling and outdoor dining. Beds are so comfortable. Had beach chairs and towels for us to use. Fantastic location - minutes from the pier. Easy to rent a bike, hit the sand or eat. Quick bike ride and ferry ride to Balboa island. We didn’t need our car the whole time we were there. 7/11 is a minute walk away for quick conveniences, the beach and pier 5 minute walk and the grocery store is a 10-15 minute walk. Ron our host was super friendly and responsive. Easy check in process. Super organized welcome book with things to do, places to eat, wifi and appliance info etc. I didn’t realize the garage and laundry are in a shared unit but that’s probably common for this area. No issues, just some very minor coordination on laundry. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to family and friends. Loved our short stay in paradise. Thank you!!

This home is near the Marina and the beach! It is very clean, upgraded and stylish. We stayed 8 days and enjoyed every minute of our stay. It is in a great location close to everything, restaurants, shopping, grocery stores and of course the beach. On a quiet street too. We had everything we needed as far as pots/pans, dishes, grill and utensils. Ron was great!

About the host

Hosted by Ron

Host profile image
I've lived in Newport Beach most of my life and enjoy surfing and paddle boarding. It's like being on vacation 365 days per year! I live in the upper unit of this duplex and am available whenever you need something. I can get you up to speed and all that the area offers and make sure your stay is memorable. There is so much to do here.

Why they chose this property

Centrally located with both beach and bay right here, we completed a 1-year renovation at the end of 2022, so it's fresh and new with all the latest comforts and features. Great for couples looking for a romantic getaway, families with kids/pet, or a relaxing refuge for a business trip. If you come in mid-December, you can watch the Newport Beach Christmas right here.

What makes this property unique

The private outdoor patio really adds to the experience. We have air conditioning for the hot summer months and offer secure garage parking with fast EV charging, but you won't need to drive much since everything is close. We are less than 15 minutes from the Orange County/John Wayne (SNA) airport and just 12 miles to Disneyland.
