The location was very nice and central for us. Fit was great for us as it was just the two of us. Owners were great to work with as we had some travel changes to our stay. I didn't plan and there was a coffee pot, not a single serve and I did need to run to the market to get coffee. The upstairs tenants, I dont know if they live there, or were renting, but they were very loud and active after 11pm.We would stay here again!

The beds were very comfortable and blankets were super soft, even 1 of the couches was so easy to fall asleep. t's very close to the beach and walking distance to the shops and food. We had an unusual amount of rain during our stay which we noticed a leak in the kitchen but it was quickly taken care of by the handyman who was very kind and professional.

2 min walk to the beach and path. Close to pier (0.7mi) but far enough away to avoid the traffic congestion. Parking spot is very convenient. The unit is great. Rooms comfy and clean. Good tv with youtubeTV streaming. Laundry unit was very efficient. Kitchen clean and decently stocked. Highly recommend.

Great stay at Newport Beach. Easy to communicate with and accommodating. Really convenient to have beach chairs and umbrella to use. Thankful for the fans provided on the hot days. Enough space for my family of four (2 teenagers) to stay comfortably.I could work from the kitchen table as my office without disturbing them them while in the bedrooms.

Pleasing beach experience

Clean, quiet space. Easy access to the beach. Overall very nice space to operate our vacation out of. Couple small items could make the stay even better - very little kitchenware. Only 5 place settings, so we had to wash dishes every time we ate. Almost nothing to cook with - had to buy ourselves a baking sheet. Some beach accessories would have been nice too, there are sports courts right at this point of the beach, so a soccer ball or pickleball set would have been great. Small things though, a very nice stay otherwise.

Great stay, close to the beach!

We had a great stay in this house! It was just a few blocks from the beach! It was very clean and had plenty of room for our family of 5. It’s in a clean and safe neighborhood. We had a private carport to use, which was so nice to not have to worry about parking. We cooked several meals in the house and it had sufficient cookware. There were 5 beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella, toys and a boogie board. Our family was very grateful for those beach items! It was very hot during our stay and although there’s not AC in the house, there were fans on the ceiling in the bedrooms and several box fans we could use. My only complaint would be that the pictures show the front of the house with a porch and chairs. We were expecting that view but that is not actually part of the unit. This house is in the back on the lower level. There’s not a porch or view of any kind. All the windows look at walls or into other houses. So I feel like the picture is misleading. Overall we were very happy with our stay and would book this house again!

Review of our stay

Great location just a short short walk to the beach. The property is actually bigger than it looks in the pictures and was very clean. We had a great stay. Easy walk to many good restaurants and shopping as well. We had a great stay.

Great place for the family.

The summary of this property is just what it says—close to the beach, some updated things which make it nice, and it’s very clean. The additional perks for us: good water pressure, wifi worked great, I liked the YouTube TV subscription. It’s hot, so we always bring box fans. I’d definitely recommend doing that—no fans provided. Overall happy with the value.
