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.

Nice but could be nicer with a few improvements

Had a great time. Place was nice but a few more steps than posted to beach. The deck was nice. Need a few more basics. No wash cloths. No dish rags. Only four towels. Toaster doesn’t work correctly. No frying pan. Circuit breakers kept popping. Could use some new blinds for sure. No towel rack in bath. The toilet keeps running if you don’t jiggle the handle. Just a few minor things and this place would see a huge improvement. Overall we had a great time there.

Steps away from the beach

Nice property and a 3 minute walk to the beach. Everything was very clean for the proximity to the beach as well. I recommend

Misleading

The pictures were deceiving. The furniture was completely falling apart. The couch was shedding, the other couch was stained and dirty, the beds were broken down, we had to use an air mattress instead of a bed. One air mattress had a hole in it so my son ended up be on the floor. Holes in the wall. If the furniture was replaced the experience would be completely different, but paying for a place to sleep and not having the ability to get good sleep is so frustrating.

Needs some TLC

The unit we stayed in was the lower unit. The unit overall is nice. However there is no privacy as all the blinds are broken. The heater wouldn’t turn off, and they don’t provide floor fans for circulation. It was a brutal 84 degrees in the House. If they spent some money on some minor updates and provide fans and/or a small portable air conditioner it would have been perfect. We’ll pass next time on this unit.

Perfect, simple place to stay in Newport

Our stay at this property was exactly what we expected and needed. There were 5 of us and we didn't feel crowded at all. The kitchen was great, the rooms were nice and the futon was a great extra spot to sleep. Everything was clean and as pictured in the photos. We are familiar with the area so we enjoyed being able to walk to all of our favorite bars, restaurants, the beach of course and the pier. We were barely in the house during the day so we didn't mind not having a patio or outdoor space but I would say thats the only thing really missing to make the place even better. Thanks to Jason for a great stay in Newport - we will probably be back!

Loved our stay

The only thing that bothered my about the place was the couch was unstable due to being on bricks and boards, it also had bad stains on it, it would be better not being there, otherwise was a great place to stay.

Close the the beach, but no view, NOT the outside image we viewed. No washcloths-mediocre.

While it was close to the beach, there was absolutely no view. All windows looked at an alley or fence. Not the view we saw in the pictures. Mediocre towels, no wash clothes. Run down. Would not recommend.

Great Location!! Cozy Home :)

Very close to the beach and the house included everything we needed for our family including a pack and play our 17 month old slept in. Only complaints were someone parked in the carport while we were there and we had to take laps to find parking that night. Overall good experience. Three TV's all needed batteries in the remotes and the couch kept breaking (one leg on the back looked like it had been broken a few times before) but the home was nice and cozy.

Good and OK

We have stayed at many VRBO places and rent out our place in Palm Springs. Our perception of this place was mixed and we want to make sure we are fair to the owners and future guests. Its too bad, as I don't think it would be hard to make this a much more favorable review. Pros Great location in the heart of Newport beach. Décor was comfortable / cozy. Good overall value. Reasonably clean. Cons Many little things in need of attention. We sent a list to the owners and hopefully they rectify them but included mostly inconveniences like no batteries or dead batteries in the remotes to broken soap dish potentially leaking water into the shower wall (could lead to mold if not addressed) etc. These don't always get reported to owners so if they don't stay there between renters, they may not have been aware. Communication was OK. We reached out on day of arrival to see if we could get an earlier checkin and did not hear back at all. We ran into a problem with ants and heard back within a day, but just that they would contact an exterminator. No update afterwards for the day and a half left in our stay so not sure what happened. It is quaint and could be a great place to stay with just a little more TLC.

Great location

We had a wonderful vacation at this rental. It was a good fit for our family of four-double beds in the kids' room, sand toys, and close to the beach and two parks. The owners were very accommodating and helpful when we had trouble getting in; and they were easy to get a hold of. My only complaint is that the outside patio is not what the picture showed. We are outside people and would have loved an area to sit outside and eat as a family. Due to that factor alone we would probably stay somewhere else next time. But all in all, this place has a comfy feel with a great location and all the necessities. Thank you Jason and Shilpa!
