I would give this property a 5-star rating - except for a few gaps that could be addressed inexpensively. The property is nicer than shown in the pictures. The decorating is well done. Gap #1 is that the mattresses on the bottom level and middle level are not comfortable. If the property manager just bought some mattress pads or topper's this could be remedied for less than $500. Gap #2: The kitchen is very thin on kitchen supplies. For example - there is no toaster. If the property manager would invest $500 in kitchen appliances / supplies, this would be a non-issue. For the money charged, it is an excellent property. Addressing those two issues would make it even better.

Walkable to everywhere, exactly as pictured, and very clean.

We loved this location, close to both beach and bay. Easily walkable to restaurants. Comfortable stay, with separate sleeping areas. Would stay again!

Check in was easy. The house was in a great location. We rode out bikes around all day, easy access to everything.

Accurate pics posted. Easy access to beach. Cozy and clean rental. We had a blast!

This home is located in a very nice neighborhood. It is a 3 level home that has alley access only, so there is no street frontage. Parking is located at the door entrance on the bottom level, which was very handy, and there is ample parking on the street for additional cars. You enter through the 1st floor bedroom (pull out king bed), stairs, main floor living area (kitchen area, sectional, tv, dining table, bathroom with lots of hot water, queen murphy bed, laundry room) stairway up to loft with queen bedroom. There is also a balcony on the main floor that faces the alley. There is a little bay area right around the corner that has a beach and a swimming area that is really nice. The actual beach is about a block and a half down the street across a traveled road. We opted to take cars to Newport Beach Pier area with our gear and find parking spaces in the morning to spend the day (Parking is costly and challenging). A few in our group walked back to the rental which was about 11 blocks. Balboa area seems to be a little closer, which we walked to a few times also. The 2 queen beds were comfy, the other 2 not so much. Well stocked linens, dishes, 2 pans. The shower outside is great! There are chairs, and umbrella, toys and beach towels. A/C on main floor, windows on the loft , not much air on the 1st floor. This home worked for our 5 adults, a teen and child, and for the price we were happy with it.

Loved the location and comfortably slept myself plus 2 adult couples
