Family converged for a wedding. So much more fun than individual hotel rooms!

My family and I have been coming down to the area for the past couple years. It's always a time I really look forward to where we can all get together and relax by the beach. The house was really lovely and exactly as described and pictured. We enjoyed spending time at the house together, cooking, sitting outside in the yard, and walking to the beach a block away. For cooking, it was a huge plus that the kitchen was so stocked. We were super comfortable the entire stay except for one thing. The downstairs pull out bed was visibly dirty when we checked in. We discovered it late at night when everyone was already to go to sleep, and had to stay up late to wash everything downstairs ourselves.

The house was great and the rental company, especially Scott, was so accommodating. Would highly recommend staying here...great location !

The best place I've stayed and Scott was great. Best place to stay with dogs and great location.

We had a wonderful time at this sweet house! Super efficient booking and communication. The home is really cute, comfortable, and well equipped. We loved spending time on the patio. We had a ball riding the beach cruisers. The beach and bay are really close. I wish there was a coffee pot, instead there was a Kurig, so bring pods. Great stay!

I stayed at this house in February with 7 friends. We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely beach house! The location can truly not be beat. You are steps to the beach on both sides of the house. The home is well stocked with everything you need for an amazing beach-side vacation. The house was clean and so cute. The bathrooms were small for the 7 of us but certainly workable! They also left us a bottle of wine on arrival which was very sweet. A few of the bedrooms upstairs got quite cold at night this time of year, so I recommend bringing warm pajamas! The only complaint I have is we stayed for four nights and were provided 1 dishwasher tab and 1 garbage bag. I had to go out to purchase a box of garbage bags and more dishwasher tabs - travelling from Canada it was rather inconvenient as you can't buy just a few of these items, you have to purchase a box! I think for shorter stays like ours it would be reasonable to be stocked with enough of these items for the stay. Otherwise, we had a fantastic stay and definitely recommend this home and host!

We stayed here for a week with our kids and 3 grandchildren. This house is charming with lots of light and great hangout spaces. The front yard and very short walk to the bay are terrific for little ones. The house is exceptionally well-appointed for meal prep and for outdoor fun with kayaks, bikes and beach toys. Scott is a delight to work with. However, as others have mentioned, the bathrooms really are small, and the place is showing its age here and there. Absent those factors, we would give it 5 stars.

We had a wonderful week at this home on the Balboa Peninsula. The location is really ideal--close to a great bay beach and just a short walk to the surf. Funzone is close by as are restaurants and shopping. Bathrooms are a bit old and funky, but the location made up for that. We loved the grass front yard with lots of room for outdoor dining and games.

It was very easy to rent and ny questions we had before we came were answered right away! Would def stay here again!

Great house, great location! It was nice to be on the quieter side of the beach but with access to everything. House was well stocked with kitchen supplies, plenty of towels and beach gear. It did not disappoint.

We were not told that the house was in flight path or that the house next door was under major renovation

Positives: Great location, loved the front yard, and a comfortable bed. Negatives: House is old with no air conditioning. Unfortunately for us, it was a hot week and leaving the doors and windows open for airflow let dozens of flies into the house and did not provide much relief from the heat. The two bathrooms are very small. Unless you have a very small car, the garage is too small to park in, but there is sufficient parking in the back and usually on the street. Overall the layout of the house is very odd, but we mostly spent time in the front yard which was very nice. This property was not what we were expecting, but we enjoyed the location and all it had to offer.

Great location and property. Everything went smoothly and no issues at all. We loved having the front yard and grass. Perfect for kids and adults. Property manager was very accommodating.

We have rented a home in Newport Beach every year for the last 15 years. This home has been our favorite. The big, fenced-in front yard makes it stand out from the rest. We were able to bring our dog and she had that beautiful yard to enjoy for the week. The front yard became our hang-out place for the week. Friends came to visit and we sat out there for hours playing cards and listening to music. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. Perfect for families. The kitchen is stocked with any supplies you need. We will definitely rent this home again!

I rarely write reviews, but want to share the wonderful experience we had staying at this home. They really have thought of everything. The house was fully stocked with everything you think you'll need, the kitchen with spices, beach towels, beach chairs, kayaks, a couple of beach cruisers (with a lock!), literally everything you need to relax and enjoy your time in Newport. The location was perfect for our family, a 2 minute walk to the beach and a 1 minute walk to the beach on the bay side and we biked everywhere else. The front yard was so nice to sit out and enjoy breakfast or a glass of wine in the evening. The two living rooms were a plus as with a family of 5 everyone could enjoy their own space when needed. The room downstairs is small, but my daughter didn't mind sleeping on the futon as you don't spend much time in your room anyway. The 2 bathrooms are also small, but they worked great and we had no issues with hot water like other reviews have mentioned! Thanks for having us and we hope to return soon!

We really enjoyed our stay at this home. As soon as we got there, we did have an issue that was beyond anyone’s control. Scott handled it quickly and professionally. He was such a great super host. We loved having the front yard to sit outside and relax. It is also in a great neighborhood. There was plenty of room for our three kids (18, 11, 5) to have for themselves. There were two living rooms, which was nice. All of the beds were very comfortable and we all slept great. We utilized the beach chair/toys/towels and wagon; It was nice to not have to pack any of that with us. There were a lot of places within walking distance. The only thing we weren’t crazy about is the 2nd bathroom downstairs was very small and wasn’t really utilized due to the cleanliness and the size of the shower. We also would have loved having smart TV’s in the upstairs rooms and upstairs living area while relaxing at the house. We played games and hung out downstairs mostly while there. That being said, we would definitely stay here again based on our host, the location and the overall good times we had at the house and our trip. I would give it 4.5 stars and maybe work on addt’l smart TV’s and upgrading the downstairs bathroom.

We rented the house to celebrate my husband's 40th birthday. We had family stay with us and friends & co-workers come over for a BBQ and everything was great. The house is super spacious and the neighborhood and neighbors were all friendly and kind. It was a nice break from all the hustle and bustle we're typically used to. I think this will be our go to whenever we need some quiet. Thank you guys for everything! And thank you for the sweet welcome note and treats. I've already shared your location with the family that stayed with us and friends who stopped by.

We did a celebration of life for my mother’s passing. I did a lot of cooking, and the kitchen was up to the task - two ovens, plenty of pots and pans, utensils, dishes etc. Sitting outside was very nice with the rare grassy yard. Walk to the beach was quick. This was November, so no noisy crowds around. Everyone loved the house. Only quibble is there was not a true 4th bedroom. Just a sofa.

Perfect place for a family and the location is amazing!

The home is in a great location. Awesome neighborhood for walking and a block from beach. Parking was good because it was Oct, as garage can only be used for smaller vehicles, Acura RDX and Nissan Rogue did not fit. Has everything you need and really enjoyed the outdoor space. 1 bath has a shower that is really small. Beds were comfy. Just suggest changing the polyester sheets in the one bdroom. Thanks for allowing us to stay!

Amazingly comfortable house in great walk to beach location. Spacious rooms and full size dining room made it the perfect place to serve as our base for a family event. Easy check in and check out. Well maintained home, top of line kitchen and BBQ.

The house is exactly as shown. We loved walking to the small beach on the harbor side and a quick little walk to the beach. It was a great place for my family. I would highly recommend.
