The host and location exceeded all expectations. First, the location: the front door to the home opens to the sounds of ocean waves and a small patio with chairs and a BBQ right along the beachside Newport Balboa walking and biking trail - we loved our morning and evening strolls along the trail with nearby restaurants, shopping and the beach steps from the front door. The home was clean, well furnished and organized with everything we needed. As great as the location was, the host further exceeded expectations. Shauntelle was attentive to ensuring we had everything we needed for the stay and made it a point to talk over the phone in advance to be sure she didn't miss anything. As she learned more about us and our plans, she offered the upstairs space at no additional cost. The upstairs has glorious views of the beach, ocean, pier, and perfect sunsets from the deck overlooking it all. The additional space allowed our big group to spread out comfortably and created additional privacy - it was truly a generous gift that made a wonderful stay even better. I highly recommend this home and host - based on our experience, they will exceed expectations!

We loved our stay from start to finish. Shauntelle communicated clearly and went

Perfect beach house in a great location. The house was very clean and nicely decorated. It had plenty of beds and the host was accommodating and available for whenever we needed her.

This property is conveniently located just steps away from the beach and pier. The property manager, Shauntelle, was very helpful and resourceful. The only downside is you can hear every movement of the tenants on the upper level which can be very frustrating if you have young children that are light sleepers. I recommend bringing ear plugs so you can get some decent sleep.
