Filthiest house I’ve ever arrived at. The pictures on VRBO are pictures from maybe when the house was bought? It’s a dump. Things falling apart all over the place, dirty sheets, stained towels, it stunk, just overall disgusting. Location was right by the beach so that was one, if not the only, plus side of this home. Seems the homeowner takes zero pride in their home and the property manager/cleaning team take even less. My family will never stay in this home again.

Family birthday celebration
Perfect beach location with short walk to beach, bars and restaurants. Home is comfortable and well stocked with everything needed for fun at the beach!!
Great stay near Newport Pier. Bike rentals nearby and the ocean just steps away. Loved the beach chairs provided and the balcony. Had a wonderful time!

Family vacation at the beach
If you want to stay in the heart of Newport Beach, this place is for you. We had 7 people in the house, and hosted other family members for dinner. The kitchen is functional and big enough, and the new grill on the outside deck is plenty big. The family room easily held us all and the kitchen table holds 8 people. When we didn’t want to cook, we had lots of options within walking distance. The beach and ocean is within view and 30 seconds away. The biggest issue is staying cool in the house on hot/humid days. There are fans, but no AC. The bedroom on the top floor takes some work to cool down at night. Overall, a good place to stay in the heart of Newport Beach.

Short stay
Great location easy access. Main road rather busy! House bedrooms worked out great for our family! Saturday night next door to us partied until 3am. Rest of the nights were fine! Close to the beach and all the great eating places! Was a great place to stay for our short visit!
