The house was roomy, with plenty extra chairs and furniture more than enough for 7 of us. We used BBQ grill for 2 nights, spent most of time at patio relaxing, our adult and teenage children bodyboarding all day. Round table in the living was great for card game, kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The first day, we had issues with one of the shower and bathroom lock, but the management office quickly responded and plumber and handyman fixed them within a few hours. In late August the beach was not crowded, and super peaceful watching people walking dogs, kids playing, from a patio. Master bathroom had a large shower, where it was convenient to wash the sands off the swim suits. I was worried how hot it gets without air conditioner, but it was fine as the temperature dropped at night.

Great property all around! Ideal location close enough to the pier but far enough for exclusive beach access that is not crowded. It was a great experience for children under 2 - 10 years old. Ideal for spending some time at the beach and near Disneyland. Very easy check-in and out process. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a great time. The house was lovely and comfortable for a group. Amazing to be right on the beach.

This home was as pictured but even better than expected. We stayed with extended family (total of 8 adults) and it was great. Plenty of comfortable seating room for us in both the living room and the dining area. The kitchen was very well stocked with plenty of dishes/glasses/mugs/silverware/pans etc. The outdoor area had plenty of room as well - table, chairs and comfortable top to sit on patio surround. Plenty of beds and hosts supplied towels/handtowels/washcloths for each of us. They also left us beach towels which was a nice touch. We had a minivan and were able to fit it and one other car in the garage. Parking a third car in the driveway. There is street parking, but it's a bit hard to come by. There are many restaurants and a grocery store near by. The location was awesome and it was terrific to walk right out on the sand. I will definitely be back!

Large 4 bedroom house directly on the beach. Nice patio for relaxing with the family. 5 minutes from restaurants and shops at the pier. Only negative is the TV in the master was not functioning, but I’m sure that’s an easy fix. Highly recommend

We love this property!! Villa Rentals is easy to work with and very convenient check in/out. This property is great!... such a spacious layout and being right on the sand is fabulous!! Parking was convenient 3 spaces, kitchen is well equipped, many beds for guests, with spacious bedrooms. Lighting is poor in the living room, could use a few more lamps, brighter bulbs (track lights are too bright) master bedroom king bed was a bit uncomfortable (I brought my pillow topper, because I remembered this from last time) Could use a little update on some items, wouldn't take very much. Fridge/freezer light was out and needs replacing. But all in all we had a wonderful stay and will be back!!

Location was easy to find and close to other LA Area attractions. House was spacious and easily fit 8 adults with room to spare. We hit the jackpot as far as beach access and closeness to water. Sunrise and sunset were gorgeous and it felt like we mostly had the beach to ourselves

Overall, this was a wonderful stay. The home is directly on the beach, which was terrific, especially if you have children. There was plenty of space and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The refrigerator was not functioning and a repair man was sent out the same day to fix it. We would stay here again. Thanks so much.

Superb location! Kitchen is well supplied with bowls and plates and pots and pans etc. One would have no problem prepping for a large group. Views are amazing and to be able to walk straight out onto the beach is priceless. Mid-end May apparently is not very busy. Weather still good. Only gripe was both can openers didn’t work but management company delivered a working one straight away along with a lighter for the fireplaces. Oh almost forgot the fireplaces! Firing those up (two sided fireplace) made for some great mood lighting. Check for coffee filters when you arrive too because the management company had to bring some over. Very responsive. Met the owner. Nice guy. One thing to pass in to the property owners though...it’s time to Stanley Steamer the chair cushions. It’s a beach property so no one expects them to look clean but time thinks they are starting to smell. Maybe put them out in the sun for a day would do. ;-)

Overall we loved our time here. A week in April over spring break. You can not beat the location. Stunning. Outdoor furniture is great. 3 beach chairs plus corn hole and spikeball. Plenty of room and the bed set up is great. Master bed and pillows not super comfy. Towels, hand soap and TP well stocked. No cooking oils or spice so bring your own or buy. Limited glassware and a real mix and match of dishes but we got by. The house was a little dated and the dining room chairs need replacing or recovering as they are well stained. But overall / if you want to be on the sand / the place is great.

On the water and practical
We rented this house when our annual women's retreat for 7 of us had to be moved, due to the tragic floods and mudslides in Carpinteria, where we were headed. This house isn't fancy, but it is right on the water, and has a comfy large seating area where we watched movies. The kitchen and big table worked well for our dinners. We were particularly grateful to Pat, the manager, who was so kind and helpful. We'll remember this property fondly.

Needs some love.
The house is on the beach with a great view and comfortable beds but the appliances and kitchen ware are horrible. The carpet is dirty and we had to call maintenance twice. For 6k I expected more. Great for college students.

Enjoyable Vacation...!!!
We have been vacationing in Newport Bch for years and by far this was the best place we have stayed in yet. Very good conditions and the place is very well maintained. Owners Bob & Sally are very nice people and we are grateful that we got to meet them. We are planning on coming back to this same residence next year and extending our visit to 10 days if possible. Villa Rentals is a great management team and we also thank them for making our visit enjoyable...!!!

Great Family Vacation
We just finished our week in Newport - and it was fantastic. The house is very large and in impeccable condition. 3 parking spots and a washer dryer. The patio was perfect for the days activities and the beautiful sunsets. Bob and Sally were gracious hosts. This place is perfect for the 2 family beach getaway. Location on the beach is right next to lifeguard tower 44. Bring bikes as cruiser-culture is huge in Newport and Balboa.

Perfect Home!
Enjoyed a wonderful long weekend at this property in Newport! We have stayed in several properties on the beach.... this one is really top notch. It's location is close enough to the Pier, you can walk, but far enough away to have a lot of privacy. The home itself is large, for one night we had 2 families stay, and it was plenty BIG. Mostly everything was in very good condition, the home was clean and well stocked. The patio is definitely a highlight.... and there is a 2 car garage! It's not an inexpensive home to rent, but it is worth every penny! We will stay here again!

What a view!
It was such a relief walking into this rental property. It was clean and well maintained, not to mention that the view is wonderful. We had four couples stay and two small children and the home was plenty big and offered ample room. The house had everything we needed to get started on our vacation which made it easy to relax. This rental felt like home and we spent the majority of our time on the over-sized patio. Villa Rentals made the process so easy and put my worries at ease. They are so easy to work with, I have already recommended them to all of my co-workers for there vacation rental needs if they go to Newport!
