Stayed for 3 nights, in from Chicago. Lou was a great host that was super accommodating and helped out with everything from restaurant suggestions to bringing in our bags. Location was great - block and a half to the beach and close to restaurants and groceries. Property was clean, comfortable and loaded with everything you could need including a packed garage full of supplies for the beach and wagons to bring them in. Bikes were a great addition and our family took them for a ride down to Ruby’s on the pier. Evenings were cool so we spent it by the fireside after wine on the patio. Lou brought us cookies from a great local place and there was plenty of snacks and everything you’d need in the house. Looking forward to coming back again next year!

Hands down the best stay in Newport Beach! You won’t regret staying here with friends, family, children or whoever. Lou has you covered on everything, just pack your clothes and make a stop at Ralph’s on the way in if you plan on cooking (there’s a grocery right across the street, but it’s more expensive). We felt as though we were the first people to stay there. A “10”+ for cleanliness! Everything we needed was at our fingertips. Lou has done an amazing job with this property. From all of the fully stocked amenities to his amazing hosting skills. Not to mention the absolutely delicious cookies he brought for us. We really enjoyed riding the bikes he provided from the fully equipped garage, around Newport and Balboa. I wish we could have stayed longer because there is sooo much to do! The walkability of this property is perfect. Everything we needed in walking distance. The beach is gorgeous and literally right down the street. We also drove to LA to check out the sites, but there is so much more in driving distance to see. I really can’t say enough, if you are coming to Newport Beach stay here, you won’t regret it! Thank you Lou, we will definitely be back! The Heckts Grapevine, Texas

Awesome time, place had everything we needed. Check in process was easy and efficient. Owner took care of us and made sure he had what we needed. He even brought out boys cookies and ice cream one night. We will definitely be back

The unit was clean and well laid out, served our purposes perfectly. In town for a family wedding and appreciated the three full bathrooms. Location is awesome, a block and a half from the beach. Had everything we could possibly need for the house and the beach. Good restaurants within walking distance . Thanks Lou!

Great spot to relax for a few days after visiting Disney. Very clean and well stocked with snacks.

Location, location, location!!! Only 45 minutes from LAX, 25 minutes to Disney and most importantly 1.5 minutes to the beach!! What an amazing experience we had this past week. From the moment we pulled up to meet Lou we knew we made the right choice for our vacation stay. So friendly and the place has everything! Everything you need from fully stocked coffee, treats and all the kitchen basics lots of places miss the mark, Lou has his hospitality on point! We shared this with another family (7 total) and lots of room, multiple bathrooms never felt need for more room. Garage full of everything you need to enjoy the beach including bikes to enjoy the boardwalk, games, chairs, wagons to bring it all to the beach. Save tons of money on rentals just on having these items available for out use. Grocery store, restaurants (Momma D’s Italian know how to treat customers) Chipotle, Starbucks all across the street. Tons of restaurants in walking distance. Can’t say enough about this place. We have used dozens of rentals over the years and hands down this one has been the best experience to date. We will be back for sure! Thanks again Lou you truly are the best.

This property was beautiful and stocked with everything you could ever need! Lou was the best host and even lent us his personal bike while one of the rentals was in the shop. Everything was top of the line and the towels even smelled like fabric softener. Plenty of beach toys, bikes, wagons and even a basket of snacks for us to devour while playing cards at night. We loved the fireplace and used it every day. The location was wonderful! A 2 minute walk to the beach and to lots of coffee shops, restaurants, grocery store and shops. Lou even surprised me with a birthday cake! Truly couldn’t ask for a better rental. Thanks, Lou, for making my birthday trip special!

The rental itself was perfect, but the location could not be beat. Excellent access to the ocean, bars, and local restaurants. GREAT PLACE!

Very clean and we'll organized place. Very close to all kinds of restaurants and the beach. Teenager kids had a great time. Beds were all very comfortable with everything we could have possibly needed.

Relaxing and comfortable. Very clean and well stocked.

Our girls trip took a turn from the east coast to the west coast due to Hurricane Ian and our property there being damaged. We found Lou’s property online and from booking, to check in and check out, all was wonderful! Lou kept in close contact up until the day we arrived. He greeted us, showed us around the rental and recommended spots for us to explore. The rental was stocked with everything we needed, even snacks for late night movie watching. The walk to the ocean was just over a minute and the area had great shops and restaurants. We are already talking about coming back with our families. Thanks for a great stay!

What a wonderful host and property. If I needed something I just guessed where I would have put it, and it was there!! Check in was easy, check out was easy. Close proximity to anywhere you would want to go in the area. The property layout out was great and it was clean and full of all the amenities you would need! Chairs, Umbrellas, Boards, Balls, Paddles, !! Plenty of stuff for kids. Anything you could need is there. Lou was such a kind and gracious host and kind to my family! You won't go wrong renting this place. The heated water out of the hose on the side of the house was a pleasant surprise when rinsing off beach toys and wetsuit! Can't thank Lou enough for such a wonderful time!!!! Thank you Lou!

My husband, daughter, my parents and I stayed at Lou’s place in Newport Beach and it was such an excellent experience! Lou was super easy to get ahold of and even ordered us a pizza that he had ready for us when we arrived as we got in later than anticipated. The house was so beautiful and spacious and it was well stocked with everything we needed. It was a quick walk to the beach and everything you could think of wanting to take to the beach was available (sand toys, beach chairs, bikes, games, etc). Lou had a lot of great suggestions on restaurants to try in the area as well. This was by far the best vacation rental we have stayed in!

Everything exceeded our expectations .. cleanliness… amenities.. parking ease.. comfort…but most of all LOU our host was incredible -and now “family” - thank you is not enough!

Lou’s home was the perfect beach spot for our stay. Clean, very comfortable and well stocked. Short walk to the beach and surrounded by great food. What really sets it apart is the garage filled with toys - bikes, beach chairs, wagons, boards, umbrellas, games, etc - everything a family needs to enjoy the beach. And Lou’s a great host. He welcomed us when we arrived, gave us a tour of the house and was very responsive to any and all questions during our stay. All in, wonderful VRBO experience.

This property was everything and more! Lou is a very gracious host! The location is perfect, close to everything. Property had everything you need for a relaxing vacation at the beach! Thank you Lou for your hospitality!

Lou’s house was great and had everything we needed. Can’t wait to stay here again.

This was our second stay at Lou’s place. We loved it as much as we did the first time. Thank you for everything, Lou!

Lou is a very helpful and generous host. House is set up for small or large family group. Close to beach and all Newport has to offer. Definitely recommend this listing!

I didn’t want to leave a positive review as that helps Lou get more bookings which then makes it harder for us to book again when we come back. 😉 However, since Lou is amazing. I couldn’t do the above. Lou did it right! Super clean, comfortable and relaxing. Kitchen stocked with all dishes, coffee, creamer etc. The bedrooms are so cozy and comfortable, we slept in every day. The linens and towels top notch. The air conditioner works very well. The availability of the washer and dryer was a plus. The neighbors are very nice, the neighborhood is clean, with a great vibe. If your here for just the beach, you do not need a rental car. There is so many restaurants and shops, grocery stores within walking distance. The garage is loaded with beach toys, wagons, bikes, everything you need. The only negative comment I could leave is California has too small of garbage cans, we filled all of Lou’s cans in our 4 day stay, sorry Lou!! We will be back, we have found our forever beach rental. Thank you Lou and Bella.

The owner / manager (Lou) was absolutely fabulous throughout the entire process; he even treated us to a perfect Nothing Bundt carrot cake. The kitchen is stocked with goodies, the 3 bathrooms are stocked with miniature shampoos /conditioners/soaps, and the garage has every beach toy imaginable. The house is perfect for a medium to large family, and the air conditioning was key.

If we could give more than five stars we would have given a ten for sure!! The property is in the perfect location for Newport fun. A short walk to the beach and restaurants, we only used our vehicle one time in 5 days. Lou met us at the house and gave us a tour. We were blown away by the attention to detail and how well stocked the property was. The garage is filled with every item you could think of for the beach, and the kitchen is ready for guests to cook everything and anything along with a welcome snack basket from Lou. What a nice touch!! He also surprised us with cookies when he found out we were celebrating a birthday!! Beyond a special beach experience. Thank you Lou, we will be back!!

We were celebrating my son's graduation and 18th birthday with some friends and family. The property itself was amazing. Great location. Tons of extras that I have never seen offered at any VRBO. Lou has thought of everything!. So many beach accessories to play, ride, lounge and have fun. EVERYTHING is high quality from beach towels, to chairs, bikes, sand and water accessories., coolers, sand wagons, every beach game you can imagine. Everything is so perfectly organized and CLEAN!!! The house is fully stocked with top quality kitchen ware. Nothing here is junky or old. I cannot say enough about the top notch condition of everything. Dishes, coffee, appliances, bedding, toilet paper even.... all very upscale. AC, laundry, check in process, communication and Lou clearly wants his guests to have a fantastic experience. He even brought my son and his friends warm cookies from a local vendor. SOOOOOO nice. Thanks Lou for a fabulous experience.

I was amazed at how thoughtful and warm and welcoming Lou was. He has literally thought of everything for this house. Every beach toy and accessory we could have wanted was there for us! He even had a rolling canvas grocery cart for the store across the street. That was SUPER convenient! The kitchen was quite literally, fully stocked. I could have cooked pretty much anything in that kitchen. Lots of spices, plenty of condiments, toaster oven, crock pot, pots and pans.. it really had everything! The walk to the beach was no big deal. I have grown up staying right on the sand every summer, so I was a little leary about staying a little further away. AND we had 2 babies! It really wasn't a big deal at all! It's a great location! Perfect distance from pier and other yummy restaurants in the other direction. I highly recommend this house!

The property is everything you see online and more. It was close to the beach and restaurants. The host, Lou, was truly amazing and welcoming. He made us feel at home. We were are planning our next trip back!

Booking and communication with Lou was easy! He greeted us upon arrival and walked us through the house. The house is gorgeous and fully loaded with anything you need! We were in beach heaven and made amazing family memories here! The location is perfect, just a block and half to the beach, grocery store across the street, walking to restaurants. The garage has all the beach gear plus some! The beds are so comfortable. This place is clean and Lou is the best!!! We have a bigger family and this gem of a beach house has plenty of space!! The best service, and VRBO house we have ever had! We would highly recommend and can’t wait to return!! Lou went above and beyond expectations!!!

When I first saw this rental on VRBO, it seemed almost too good to be true. But everything was as PERFECT as it appeared online. The property is located in a fantastic location and is decorated so thoughtfully with every amenity imaginable. And the garage filled with every activity you could think of - it's like finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow! There is no need to rent or pack any beach equipment because this rental comes with everything you could need. The location of this property is close to the beach, stores, and restaurants, so you really have everything you need for an amazing vacation just a few steps from the door of this gorgeous rental! But the real GEM of this property is its owner, Lou. Lou's hospitality is second to NONE. Honestly, it does not get any better than Lou. As I told him, the world needs more Lou's because he will make you feel like the most valued guest at all times and his thoughtful touches, amazing communication skills and attention to detail are what make this property so special. You will arrive as a guest and leave feeling like you have made a wonderful new friend. You won't want to leave and will definitely want to rebook this stunning property! Thanks for an amazing experience Lou! You are one in a MILLION!

Our stay her could not have been better. It is in a great location and Lou, our host has gone over and beyond to make it an enjoyable vacation rental. The place have everything you need and Lou has set the bar to what a vacation rental should be. It is extremely clean and the house is updated. Walking distance to many great restaurants and a block and a half from the beach. We will come back for sure...

Very clean, and host Mr. Burgess welcomed us to make sure we knew exactly where to park. He has everything beach-related that you would want in your stay at his home. Beach cart, boogie boards, surfboard, beach balls, beach chairs, and on and on! Plus very well mainted bikes with baskets to explore Newport. We loved our stay and hope to visit that area in the future again. Newport Beach pier just a short walk away and you can watch the surfing school in the morning. The beach itself is very wide and expansive and very well-kept. Thank you for being a great host, Lou!
