Lovely place and location
You can walk to everything. The beach, groceries, restaurants/bars, stores, the park across the street, etc. It’s incredibly convenient.The inside is spacious and was accommodating for the four of us. Beds are comfortable. Kitchen has all appliances you need to make meals. The patio is nice with plenty of space.Things to be aware of:- you are on the Main Street through Newport/Balboa. If you are sensitive to noise it might be too much but we never had an issue.- the garage is incredibly small. You can fit a car but don’t expect to open a door unless you have a sliding door. Luckily we had a van.- this is a duplex. You will sometimes here

Very clean, comfortable & great location!
Easy to follow instructions for access. Very clean & comfortable. Beds are top quality! Kitchen fully stocked. Gas BBQ is good. Location, toes in the sand in 3 minutes! Beautiful beach. Easy walk to grocery store & restaurants. Can be noisy during the day, located on a busy street close to a stop sign. But really, we weren’t inside much during the day with all the great things to do in the area. And it’s quiet at night.

Cute place, issues not resolved
The place itself is very cute, and like most beach houses there are quirky things about it. One thing we noticed right away was that the screen door and a screen right by the front door were missing. I contacted Vacasa right away and they told me they would but in a request. By the end of the stay, it was never fixed. And after looking at the reviews from the guests before, it was also missing for them and not fixed.
We thought the beach Ouse seemed clean. However, I noticed a dried up contact on the floor in the back bathroom (I don’t wear contacts), and the top bunk in one of the rooms had sand & hair inside the Sheets’s.
I feel like the management of this location is not great. Makes me wonder what our service fees are going towards.

False Advertisement
Upon checking in to the property we immediately communicated our dissatisfaction via the check in text communication.
The garage is beyond narrow; you’re barely able to open the door enough to squeeze out once you’ve pulled in.
The entire property is smaller than represented: “master en suite” bath is a closet converted with a shower and toilet. Our son had a difficult time sitting down on the toilet and closing the door it was so tight. When he closed the door his knees were against it and when he turned his head he could rest his head on the sink or the window sill. The entire bathroom was covered in soap scum build up and mildew. Right next to the “good to go clean” sign was a toothpaste spit smear on the door frame with hair stuck in it.
The hall bath was in similar shape as to soap scum and mildew. Additionally, the tub did not drain properly so during a shower it would fill up past your ankles.
Every mattress had massive stain spots, linens were stained and unclean and the couch was disgusting. Dust build up around the entire home showing a habit of NOT properly cleaning anything but rather running a mop down across the floor and wiping main surfaces down. There was even a sticker from an orange stuck to the coffee table!
The house had pots and pans but otherwise was not “stocked” in the kitchen (i.e. salt, pepper, etc.) as stated.
It took hours to settle with the local representative. We spent our entire first day out of the home while people cleaned and a carpet cleaner addressed the couch. Additionally we were promised a discount (which is why we agreed to stay and deal with the inconvenience and misrepresented property); to this date I have not received a final invoice or follow up on the promised discount. We have still been charged the full amount.
By far the worst experience we’ve ever had. Stay away!!!

Great 3bd house in prime location
I highly recommend this place. It’s located just a block away from Newport Beach, in walking distance to restaurants and groceries and across the road from basketball courts and children's playground. The beds &are very comfortable (king in master room, double bunk beds with single trundle in 2nd bdr & double bed with separate entry & en-suite in 3bdr). Good kitchen though no mixing bowls or basic pantry supplies. Large lounge room with a wide selection of streaming services. Front patio with bbq but we didn’t use it. Great choice for families or groups.
