Great Location

Great location, across the street from grocery store & restaurants, 2 blocks from beach. House a bit dated, shower knob fell off, as well as towel rack. Appreciated A/C in bedroom, as well as fans. Nicely decorated & liked the split door which allowed ocean breeze to circulate, as well as sky lights. Could use some better outdoor furniture & umbrella

Not happy

On busy street very noisy. Poor ventilation, home unbearably hot, no window fan to bring in cool air. Shabby (not sheek) furnishings. Needs painting. Needs repairs. Terrible refrigerator. Broken coffee maker and knives. Dining table and chairs for midgets. Only seat 4 little people. Shower in master not working properly Good thing was air in master. Kitchen area nice. Home is well stocked with any needs. Overall extremely disappointed. We paid a very dear price for a shack. Vrbo did not do their job of vetting and letting home be listed. They did not earn $499 fee which I plan to challenge

Getaway

First- great location!! Loved walking across the street to the grocery store and other food places. Beach was about 2 blocks away. Property is old and needs some remodeling. Kitchen (bowls, cups) are sparse. Linen (towels) are limited as well. No shampoo/soap. I would think a place this close to the beach would have a few beach chairs to take to the beach and enjoy.

32nd St, Newport

The listing pictures did a good job of showing the property, however, what you cannot see is the cleanliness of the house. While it was generally clean, there are areas (above the fridge, and stove hood) that have been neglected over the last couple of months, possibly years. Overall, we were happy with the decision to rent this home, just wished it was a little cleaner.

Nice stay!

Felt I was buying a house with all the documents I had to sign after booking. House is very homey and only a few blocks from the beach! kitchen is well equipped and has a great front patio, its on a busy street and accross the street from a little shopping area, so if you are looking for a quiet patio area this is not your place. We loved watching people :) Beds were not made, they left the sheets on the bed for us to make it which i ve never experienced before. The patio was not cleaned before we arrived, a lot of spider webs and dust but the house was clean! I would definetly stay again! It was great for a relaxing weekend with friends. No AC, only fans and 1 portable AC, we stayed at a nice time but I could not stay here at summer time unless they get more portable ACs, the one they had worked great. The people at management company were very nice whenever I spoke with them.

Loved it!

We enjoyed our stay at this beach house very much. We could walk to everything, grocery store, many restaurants and the beach. It was a very hot week so we were very grateful for the standing air conditioner in the master bedroom but the living room we had a hard time cooling off. We used one of two fans but probably should have set up both in front of the two large sliding doors in the living room. We spent our down time sitting on the very comfortable front patio. All in all we loved it!

Sun, sea and ocean breeze

We have a house nearby, and were looking for a place for family coming into town. First, we love Newport. We understand the reality of the limitations and expectations for parking and noise, so those were absolutely no issues for us. The other thing we understand is how hard the ocean is on houses. For the minor things that weren't perfect, we get it. So for the general living and kitchen areas, all was great. The outdoor patio is lovely. The kitchen has EVERYTHING you'll need, in the way of tools and serving and prep things. BBQ works great. Handiman was INCREDIBLE. The response time to a leaking toilet flapper and missing pole for the umbrella was awesome. He was really nice. And we appreciated the quick response. MUST stop for paper products and soap. There was neither for us, but no big deal with Pavilions directly across the street.

Three bedroom..not so much.

The location is great. Convenient shops and groceries within steps. Burr Realty was so nice to work with. However, the property is advertised as three bedrooms which is a stretch. It would work if you had small children but there was no way our teenage grandson could sleep on those pillows they call a bed. He slept on the couch..not ideal. The house was rundown and didn’t have things you would expect for a beach house e.i. no beach towels or beach blanket, beach umbrella etc. It was not very clean and had several repairs that were necessary as in the bathroom hot water didn’t work in the shower or the sink. Between the unusable bedroom and bath, this is actually a two bedroom, one bath.

We loved this property, just the right size for 5 of us to sleep and hang out comfortably. Loved that the grocery store was directly across the street and so many amazing restaurants within walking distance. Beach was only blocks away, and they have a beach wagon which was very helpful. We will most definitely come back to this property or another one that the company manages. The only issue is was parking our large SUV in the carport but we made it work.

Fun area

The house was very clean and had a wonderful kitchen to make all our meals in. I was a little nervous at first about not having a/c throughout the house, but the beach climate was so Pleasent that we only used the little a/c unit in the master suite a few nights and were very comfortable. There is parking at the unit, and everything is so close to the house that you don’t need to drive at all unless you are going to a different town. We walked the few blocks to the beach with no problems. There are shops and Restaurants right across the street. The house is on a somewhat busy street, but it died down after dark and was still quiet enough to sleep with the windows open. We really like the location and the property.
