Property was just as presented. Absolutely loved the rooftop area! Accomodations were comfortable and kitchen was stocked with all we needed. Communication was great and any needs were addressed quickly. Perfect, quiet location. Took advantage of Avantstay's recommendation for Hibachi dinner at home and that was a huge success. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

Amazing stay in Newport
The house was amazing, clean, and had an awesome rooftop! Not to mention steps away from beach. However, it did say it sleeps 14 and I have no idea how. We were squeezed and had to bring air mattresses ! But the host was awesome and super helpful.

As expected and exceeded
Everything met the expectations and some things exceeded them….
Beautiful rooftop… this made the property
Every room was fantastic including the casita.
The only thing that can be challenging is the parking…. The spot left PLENTY of spots, but they were a little tight. The only spot that wasn’t tight was by the alley. This IS NOT A BAD THING, but worth noting if you have only big cars….
Fantastic location.
Peaceful setting.

Smooth Sailing
Family’s (3) from different states of all ages merged for a place to stay due to family emergency. Was comfortable. Space to get out of the way if needed, hearing and viewing of ocean with fire pit was relaxing, each room was temp controlled w/own tv, very close proximity to beach for walks was great for others.
Over all our stay was a success. Thank you
