Cute beach house

It’s a cute beach house right next to the beach. I loved the location. Perfect to walk either direction to shop, eat at, and hit up places like Fashion Island, Crystal Cove. It was nice inside, loved how accommodating it was with kitchen supplies. I’d recommend this place for sure.

Wonderful home! Great vacation spot!!

The home is just like the posting. Very clean, everything you need to be comfortable for a weekend or a week. Very new and incredibly quiet laundry. Close to beach and pretty much middle of Newport Beach and Balboa Piers.

Christmas at Newport Beach

Our family had a wonderful time here. Close to everything we needed. We walked to view the Christmas Boat Parade! We walked the beach. And one evening we rented a Duffy boat nearby to see all the lighted beach homes. Host was very responsive to all inquiries! A memorable stay. Thank you.

Wonderful stay by the beach!

The property was exactly as advertised. It had all we needed for a family of seven (2 grandparents, 2 parents, and 3 kids). Clean, spacious, and well stocked. We loved sitting on the deck in the morning. It’s truly just a minute to the beach and it is an awesome beach, which was prefect for the kids to play on. It was a reasonable distance to Disney and San Diego, making it a great central location for family fun!

Newport getaway- great location

We had a wonderful stay, and the house was the perfect size for the four of us. We thoroughly enjoyed the amenities, including the outdoor patio, the deck attached to the master bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen, and the BBQ grill. The location couldn’t have been better—just one block from the beach and conveniently situated between Newport Pier and Balboa Pier. I highly recommend renting bikes to explore the area; the bike shop in Balboa offers great weekly deals, and there are bike racks all around town. Just a heads-up to bring your own beach gear (like chairs and an umbrella) as the house doesn’t provide those items. The owner was incredibly friendly and readily available to answer any questions we had.

Excellent 4th of July stay in Newport Beach!

We spent 4 wonderful nights at this home in Newport Beach over 4th of July weekend. The property was exactly as described in the listing and was clean. It had everything we needed to cook and grill, as well as beach items such as chairs and umbrellas. The location is perfect and we were able to walk just about everywhere we wanted to go. If we plan any future trips to Newport, we will absolutely stay here again!

Amazing Beach house

Our family truly enjoyed staying in this beach house. The beach house itself had lots of room and the kitchen had everything you could ask for. Bonus was a large garage where you could park a car as well as store your bikes. The beach is so close to the house. I would highly recommend this home to any and all friends and family.

Steps from the beach and the bay

The house was fully appointed with all the necessities and even some extras like aloe and seasonings/oils for cooking. The bunk beds were quiet and large. The upstairs master suite was private and airy and the decks were sunny. Definitely the place to be. Our only struggle was with VRBO. They overcharged 215, but that’s not the owner’s fault. They were lovely and very communicative. I didn’t want to bother them with it since I think it’s a VRBO issue. Other than that, we loved our stay and would definitely stay again. If you have young kids, the garage was fully appointed with Tommy Bahama chairs, sand toys, boogie boards, and even surf boards. It was too chilly for us to use, but that’s nice for any summer beach goers. They also had games inside and fully appointed TV options. You’re only a 20min walk to each pier, and you’re close to take the ferry over to Balboa island. There were tons of extra blankets and comfortable beds. All houses on the peninsula take a beating from the sea air, so expect no matter where you rent to have some floor buckling and old pipes. I really liked the floor tiles in the master bath. So pretty. Also, they had lots of paper towels, tissues, toilet paper, and shampoo/conditioner/body wash. Nice when you’re trying o pack light. 5 stars.

Clean, modern and great location!

Our family of six loved this cute and modern blue house in Newport. This house has two bathrooms, which is a must with four kids, AC, upgraded modern look, washer and dryer and master bedroom has its own space upstairs. The location is great as well and our kids could walk to the beach from the sidewalk easy. Host was great to work with. Bonus there’s parking in the garage. We will definitely consider staying here again!

Newport stay

Our stay at the home was absolutely perfect. The house has all the amenities you would need, not just in a house but more specifically in a beach house. Plenty of beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, etc. The location is about a 15 minute walk to the pier which was ideal, close enough but not too close with all the noise and people. The bedrooms are all in the back of the house so you don’t hear any street noise at night. If this place is available for the dates you need, book it right away, it’s perfect.
