The Starfish cottage is so cute. The location is one block from beach and within walking distance to shopping and restaurants. This has to be one of the cleanest VRBOs I have rented. The street is rather busy as it is a straight shot to a public beach access but it did not disrupt our stay. We enjoyed having morning coffee on front porch and watching people. The half front door was unique as the weather was perfect for open windows. We appreciated Holly’s communication and generosity. We will definitely consider staying here in the future.

Over the past 8 years we have stayed at dozens of VRBO locations across the country. The STARFISH is at the top of the chart. First, the beach-bay location is perfect. Toes in the sand. Lunch on the bay. Off the rails walkability. Second, the actual cottage is very comfortable and amazingly quiet for a Balboa location. Finally, Hollie is an awesome host. No item is overlooked. And she is readily available.
This was our second stay and we will be back!

Our stay here was absolutely perfect!! Walking distance to everything, grocery store, restaurants, boardwalk, beach, pier…everything!! Holly was amazing, met us at the front door (even saved a parking space for us!) went through everything about the house and amenities…made sure we were comfortable and all set! Everything we needed was there…even beach chairs towels and an umbrella. There was plenty of parking-which was my biggest concern but it wasn’t ever a problem. The street was clean, safe and everyone was so friendly!! I will absolutely be back very very soon!! 10/10 would definitely recommend 💕💕

A lovely cottage conveniently located a block from the beach and a short walk to the pier. It has everything you might need (ziploc bags, extra plug-ins for electronics, etc.). The owner was easy to work with and had really thought of how to make our stay comfortable. We’ll be back!

Starfish Cottage is perfect - the house is just impeccable, and Holly and Drew thought of everything. Quiet neighborhood, close to restaurants, beach, and shopping - so nice to be able to walk everywhere.
From the fully stocked kitchen and Keurig, to everything we needed for the beach, to comfy beds, this is one of the best VRBOs we’ve stayed at.
Holly and Drew, so nice meeting you - thanks for sharing your home with us - we will be back!

Nice Cottage in a Perfect Location
We had a really great stay at Starfish Cottage. The location is perfect, just a short walk down to the beach, as well as to restaurants and a grocery store. Mama D's down the street is some of the best Italian food I've ever had. The beach there is really nice - clean sand and warm water. The cottage was comfortable and came equipped with everything we needed. In addition to the beach, we used it as a base to visit Disneyland, which I think worked out a lot better than the hotels near Disney, and for about the same price. Parking is a little tight but workable, we were always able to park on the street or the public lot at the end of the block - it would've been a little easier had we thought to bring our minivan instead of my giant truck. Hostess Holly was fantastic, and went out of her way to help us out of a jam when we accidentally left some personal items behind at the end of our stay. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful time staying in this cozy beach cottage over spring break. Holly and her husband saved us a parking spot in front of the house which was very helpful over the Easter holiday weekend. We enjoyed going to the beach everyday with our kids and appreciated the overall walkability of the neighborhood with local restaurants and a Pavilions so close by. The cottage itself is so charming and was perfect for our family of 4. We also we were able to make good use out of the grill and loved spending our evenings out on the patio.

My husband and I stayed at Starfish for 4 nights to celebrate our anniversary and it was perfect! From the moment I booked with Holly to the second we left, things were flawless. The location is fabulous… close to everything, we walked or rode bikes everywhere! We will definitely be back :) thank you Holly and Drew for your hospitality!

The Starfish Cottage is everything advertised and more. The property was extremely clean and well stocked for our needs. Check-in was a breeze and parking was easy to find. The property is close to nice restaurants, the grocery store and the beach. Despite the fact it was cool and cloudy for most of our stay we were still able to enjoy biking, walks on the beach, a boat tour of Newport and some yummy restaurants. If we choose to vacation in Newport again, Starfish will be our choice.

Clean and Cheerful
We had a great experience staying at this house. We are very familiar with the area as we recently moved from here and I know how hard it can be to find a clean beach rental. Many beach homes are old and run down and people don’t care because of the location. However, Holly put so much thought and care into making this a comfortable and clean home. The shower is a bit small which should be noted if someone needs the larger space but I loved how clean and nice it was. Perfect for the average person. Great care and detail was put into this home which we appreciated. We highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

Wonderful Location and Hospitality
The location of this property is perfect! You can walk one short block to the beach, grocery store, or a variety of restaurants and shopping. Holly was wonderful to work with. Amazing hospitality! We had a late arrival time and she saved a parking spot for us on a very busy weekend and recommended great restaurants. The house was the perfect size for 4. It is true there is not room for 5. The house was beautifully updated, stocked well, and very comfortable.
