Check in was easy. Kitchen was a full kitchen. Stocked well. Except for spices. Not enough tp. No box of tissues. No dish rags and only one dish towel. Not a big deal really. We bought tp. The unit has lots of storage. Bed very comfy. Really liked the outdoor area. Had a lovely breakfast out there. Used beach chairs and umbrellas.would stay here again. Would refer to friends too

small, but very adequate

Everything was very well stocked. The shower was a little small to be able to wash your feet. This unit did not have a garage to park in even though there were three empty garage spaces. That would’ve made it a lot better if we didn’t have to hunt for street parking.

Short beach get-away

Studio apt was very well equipped!! Although we didn't use the kitchen much during our short stay, I was impressed with how well it is equipped!!! Instructions on the use of the apt were very clear & appreciated. The only suggestion is to put the outside address # in a place that can be seen from the street. When the patio umbrella is up, the address # is not visible from the street.

Great place for our weekend get away. Enjoyed the ease of parking which can be hard in a coastal town, great price and location nestled between the ocean and bay. Walkable to all the sites, restaurants and stores. Would stay again, as we plan on doing this trip yearly now.

Just right for our stay

Perfect location, very clean and cozy. It is nestled right between Bay Street, which is a very high-end residential area (i.e. mansions galore) and the beach, which has a miles-long pathway and perfectly sandy beach that was not crowded when we were there in May. We felt very safe at this location and enjoyed sitting outside on the shared patio. The bed is super comfortable and we slept great. The couch is decent, I do wish the sitting area had been a little more comfortable. Everything was very clean and well-stocked. It was nice to have the kitchen so we didn't have to eat every meal out. We walked everywhere - it takes about 15 minutes to walk to Newport Beach and about 20 minutes to the other end near the Balboa Peir. If you have time, we recommend the sunset cruise in the bay and Fly N Fish Oyster Bar in Newport Beach. It's a touristy area, so a little challenging to find the "gems". Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We stayed here for two weeks in March. It is conveniently located in the middle of the peninsula, about half way between the piers and halfway between the ocean and the bay. We had a wonderful time.

Great rental

My sis-in-law and I stayed for 3 nights and had zero issues with the property. Very well appointed and stocked studio. Location is fabulous!! Messaged host about nearby restaurants and she responded right away. There is a binder though with a list of restaurants, how to access tv and such. Had neighbors on both sides and had no issues with noise. Recommend.

Perfect for place for a relaxing long weekend

Wonderful place to stay! Everything was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the location was perfect. Street parking, but never had a problem finding a spot not too far from the studio. Just a short walk across the street to a less crowded part of the beach, but not too far of a walk to the shops and restaurants. Great outside seating area, perfect to hang out and relax. Directions for everything were well written and easily understood. Overall—a wonderful experience and would definitely stay again.
