It was a lovely place, so fresh and clean. We really enjoyed having garage parking and access to 3 bikes. Roomy and quaint, the front patio was a nice place to gather the sun. Thank you!

The location was exactly where the map showed. Perfect walking distance to everything. The kitchen is newly updated and pictures do not show it. The bedrooms were spacious. The bathroom was new and clean. There is a parking space in the garage but the other tenant takes up at least their half... The upstairs tenant wakes up very very early and loudly walks around their unit every single morning. This woke me up every day until I used a loud white noise on my phone the last night. The master is located right by the main road and the road does get noisy. This did not bother me as much as the loud stomping at 5am. If you bring a sound machine, you will be ok. The mattresses were squeaky and very hard spring mattresses which were not the most ideal. Toilet paper was also limited, no soap or body wash (come prepared), and no wash cloths.
Every place has its quirks. This unit is great with just a couple flaws. It would not stop me from reserving in the future.
We enjoyed the stay neighborhood, the new appliances and ice maker, the garage stored our rented bikes, etc. The shared washer and dryer is new and nice but there is only 1 pod for laundry so come prepared.
Thanks for a fun week!

We enjoyed our 2 night stay. The owners were so accommodating and available for any questions. Very clean -needs a bit updating like shower curtain and rod rusted out and vinyl floor needed a clean. The traffic is a bit noisy in master bdrm but it was cozy and comfortable and we would definitely stay again. There were so many well stocked amenities in kitchen and lots of beach toys and bikes!

Such a great experience. The owners responded quickly with answers to our questions. The property is in the perfect location. We were a tad worried about street noise, but it wasn't an issue at all.
We had 5 adults and it worked out great.

Booked a three day weekend for Mother’s Day and couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay with my wife and kids. House was clean and cozy. The kids loved that there was bunk beds to sleep in!

My son and daughter-in-law and their two dogs were delighted with the property, location, and we were grateful for the flexibility of the owners when they were told of a family emergency at the end of the stay. Would be happy to rent this property in the future!

This was a fantastic beach house for our family of five (with young kids). A beautifully remodeled kitchen. Lots of windows and doors to let in the cool ocean breezes. Plenty of space and beds within a very short walk to the beach. Lots of beach things to use. A well-stocked kitchen. And having a garage to ensure a parking spot was super helpful. It’s a short walk to restaurants and groceries. Really a perfect location for this part of Newport. If it works out, we’ll definitely be back.

Great location. The duplex was nicely furnished and walkable distance to restaurants and grocery store and shopping. If there is a negative to this property is that it’s on a very busy street and the master bedroom is on the street. Could not leave the windows open at night. Great price.

Just a block from the beach, we loved our short midweek stay. The house is clean and comfortable, centrally located, and our hosts were very communicative and easy to contact. We can't wait for our next visit!

Bike Ride
My friends and I had a wonderful girls weekend. Being a block from the beach and a 15 minute walk to many great restaurants was fantastic. With the oil spill just happening we weren't comfortable going in the water so the host was kind enough to leave enough bikes behind for us all to use and ride to the pier and around the neighborhood.
Since we are a bunch of moms with mini vans we were concerned about the small garage and parking space but luckily our arrival time allowed us ample street parking.

We arrived on Wednesday night and left on Friday Morning. The owner Alex communicated everything very well. The house is a 3 minute walk to the beach. It is on Balboa Blvd so you get the noise from traffic when windows are open. However when they are closed the noise is much less. We would rent again.

Great beach rental
We had an amazing time at this property. The location is perfect, within a block to the beach in an area that isn’t super crowded and less than a mile walk to some food and coffee shops. The kitchen is very well equipped and we appreciated the portable fans in each bedroom. Hosts were fantastic with communication and it was a seamless process. Thanks for a great stay!

This is an excellent place to stay in Newport. The house is very well taken care of, well decorated and only 200 steps from the beach. The property owners are excellent to work with, the check in and check out process was super easy and the rental came with everything you could need at the beach; boogie boards, beach chairs, bikes and even a wagon. 5 stars!

Perfect location in Newport Beach. Freshly remodeled with open floor plan and spacious patio. One block from the beach and walking distance to the promenade, shops, restaurants, bars, pier and grocery store. We had 30 plus family members staying on the same street and this was the coveted property. Owners are a pleasure to work with and very responsive. Highly recommended!

We had a great week at this vacation home. It was clean and charming. I especially loved the dutch door. The location is super convenient to the beach and lots of restaurants and shops are within 1-1.5 miles. The owners/managers were super communicative and helpful. The only downside is that it is an older building so it has some quirks. The toilet is a litte touchy and the diswasher didnt work. (Owner addressed the problem quickly.) The house is on the corner of balboa which is somewhat of a busy street, but the windows blocked the noise well.
