We enjoyed our stay during Christmas. Was very clean when we arrived. Only a couple of very minor things that would not prevent me from staying again: The couch cushions were torn and had noticeable holes in them. Really should just go in the garbage. They used the cheapest toilet paper offered. With 5 people in the house we ran out within 2 days and had to purchase our own. For the money you spend on this rental please get better toilet paper. As I mentioned these are minor issues and I would stay there again but just remember to bring my own toilet paper. lol!

The dryer at our stay didn’t work and they didn’t leave extra sheets. 0 help from vacasa or the manager. Also, who charges for a washer and dryer on an expensive beach property like this?

This property was professionally cleaned, well stocked on all the towels, and had so much space! Even more than I thought they would. We easily were able to fit a pack and play in with our queen bed for our baby. And it was so nice for my kids to have their own bedroom for sleeping. We will stay here again next year! The appliances and cabinets were updated. Easy check in and checkout. And the beach was literally steps away! Game. Changer!

Great place and property. Literal 1 minute walk to beach. Beds just OK, pillows just Ok, cheap. When they say fans in every room is doesn’t mean ceiling fans it means old rusted dirty box fans. Also there is no AC. I we thought no matter it’s 65 degrees. No it’s still very warm at night. No screen on the main patio door really needs one. I have seen this complaint from several others. It needs to be addressed. Also some personal touches would be nice like body boards, surfboards, bicycles. Other than these things. It was a great location and a safe place that I would book again. But it just doesn’t have attention to detail.

We had a very nice stay on Seashore Drive. The condo was extremely functional for my group as we were working in Orange County during our stay. It was relatively easy to find parking, the shopping center nearby has some good restaurants, the neighbors were kind and the beach is literally 50 yards away.
Our only issue was that the heater didn't pump much heat to the two back rooms but that's only a potential problem in the winter months.
Overall, the condo was clean and functional. Even more, you can see the ocean from the dining room table!

Could use some TLC. More seating in the family room would be nice, dressers to store clothing in the bedrooms and a way to use the hose! The hose bib needed a key, which we were not given. We are next to the beach and there was no way to wash sand off our feet or stuff. Kitchen had most of what we needed. We had plenty of towels in the bathroom. Wi-Fi worked. Overall, it was okay but could use a few improvements.

The house was clean and is in a great location. The neighbor below is super nice as well. Nice size place with 4 bedrooms which was perfect for us. The only thing to improve on is kitchen supplies. It would be great to have a big sauté pan, measuring cup, missing bowls, etc. it would also be nice if there were beach chairs, and bikes available. We stay at a lot of VRBo’s and Airbnb’s and bikes and beach chairs are pretty standard. The location and size were amazing so we would definitely recommend.

Short walk to the beach and location to New Port are very nice. Houses could use a/c and or ceiling fans. The old floor big fans were ok

Can't get much closer to the beach
Well you can but you will be paying 2 to 3 times more! Chill spot! Clean and spacious!

Newport Vaca Home
We have never done an Airbnb before and originally booked a different one for this trip, it got cancelled and Vacasa booked this one for us to make up for the cancellation.
Location was IDEAL!! 1 street away from the beach which made it so nice so we didn’t have to drive forever there and back. House was spacious, clean, and perfect for the 8 of us. It was pretty much fully stocked with all of the essentials, we just bought groceries and some extras that go into it. I would 10 out of 10 rent it out again and recommend it to anyone looking for beach house close to the water but with out all the chaos and people that walk by.

The very best thing about this property is the location: it is just a few steps from the beach and close to restaurants, grocery stores, and entertainment. It even has a sliver of an ocean view. The house itself is fine and we had an enjoyable time. It was clean and while perhaps not well-stocked, at least has most of the essential items you’d expect in a decent rental property. There were sufficient clean towels, including beach towels. However, it is often the little touches that distinguish a property, that make it comfortable versus merely functional. The house lacks any real character and desperately needs some attention. Prior reviews have noted many of the same issues we encountered so they’re not new. While seemingly trivial, over the course of a few days they become extremely annoying. The fixture in the kitchen sink is broken and the faucet head falls into the sink at the slightest touch. The dishwasher is not properly affixed under the counter and as result, as soon as you begin to load it it tips out of the cabinet and tries to dump the dishes you’ve loaded onto the floor. At least one kitchen drawer was broken and falls out, while others don’t close properly. A lamp in the main room would be a nice addition, as would some decor to the sterile rooms, particularly the bedrooms. The wifi never worked for us. We followed the instructions for use and trouble shooting but couldn’t connect. Fortunately we were able to use our phone hotspots so the wifi wasn’t a big issue. In the end, we might return because of the location and the ability to bring pets (though we didn’t have one this time), but there are some easy fixes that would make this place much more pleasant.

We had a good time staying here. The location was great, just a few steps away from the beach. The listing mentioned no internet so I was surprised to find there was internet. It wasn't working at first but the manager helped get it fixed. Unfortunately, there was a problem with cockroaches. We accidently left some takeout food out and the roaches came out. We didn't cook or make our own coffee due to the roaches. If you don't really use the kitchen, you may not see any roaches.

This property featured a black pleather living room couch that was so old it was shedding and stained the back of our legs black. The dishwasher fell out of the cabinetry it was positioned in every time you might pull out the loading rack. The blinds in the back room were broken so there was no sleeping in on vacation. There weren’t any beach items like towels etc. the kitchen gear was so old it was falling apart. Super dissatisfied, considering it was an expensive property. Avoid this one.

Pros: location was steps from the beach! We enjoyed the freedom of just walking to the beach and walking back to the house. Beach towels were provided along with toiletries and a roll of paper towels. The kitchen was pretty well stocked with plates, pans, pots and utensils. We also enjoyed the spacious living space. The beds were comfy and the coastal breeze cooled the house down. Overall. I would definitely stay again.
Cons: There are TVs in most of the rooms except one and none of them have any TV connection. You are unable to even cast to the TVs since they are not smart TVs, you would need to take a Chromecast or a fire stick in order to watch TV in any of the rooms. The large TV in the living room however is a smart TV and you are able to cast to the TV and watch shows. There's a limited number of toilet paper rolls so if you have a large party of mostly girls I definitely would recommend bringing some additional rolls and it does come with one roll of paper towels so you may need to purchase some additional ones depending on the length of your stay. The sofa is falling apart a little bit so you do find little bits of black material on your clothes but other than that it is still a comfy place to just chill and relax after a long day at the beach. There are also only screens on the windows in the bedrooms so the house does tend to get a lot of bugs and flies in there because there is not a screen door on the front door the sliding door or the back windows would you definitely need open to get that cool ocean breeze throughout the living area.

Disappointed I didn’t book this property longer! The location to the beach, restaurants, and shops were perfect! The property is much larger than the pictures show. Plenty of space for our adult children and parents! Loved the dog friendly aspect. TVs in bedrooms could be upgraded to smart TVs. But with the ocean in your backyard who needs tv? There wasn’t a true master bedroom and the beds for two adults are a bit small. The house and amenities were fabulous! We would stay again!

The location of the condo is great... just few steps away from the beach although its not on the beach. The condo was clean for most part but the fans were very dirty and hard to use. The balcony chairs were also not clean. The shower head was old and shower door was not closing well enough so the whole bathroom would get wet. There was a nice patio terrace on the other side but there was no furniture and it was not clean enough to be useful. It was a nice place and we had a good time but it was not as clean and upgraded as we were expecting. We were charged so much service fees so our expectations were higher.
