My girlfriends and I truly enjoyed our weekend stay. We wished we could have stayed longer. The condo is exactly as the owner portrayed it and even more fantastic upon arrival. The unit is bright and well maintained with easy access to the beach, pier, restaurants and bay. We were very comfortable and completely relaxed. Overall, a great experience during our stay and in the planning phase with the owner. I would and have recommended this unit to friends and family.

Our family of five (kids 25, 24 and 22) just completed a wonderful week at this home away from home. As nice as the photos are, they don't do this condo justice. Just beautiful! Kitchen is fully stocked with all the major appliances so you can eat in or enjoy many restaurants that are within walking distance (The Crab Cooker was great). Local attractions included the beach (you must ride a bike or drive if you must down to the "Wedge" to watch the body surfers - crazy!), our son took a surf lesson, rented a boat at the marina, and shops. We took a day trip to LA to see the "stars" homes (buy the ticket on the street for 1/2 of the on-line price) and another day trip to Sea World in San Diego. After all the activities, we returned to the clean, beautiful condo to relax and enjoy each others company. Hours were spent on the rooftop lounging in comfortable chairs. Plenty of board games are provided and the TV and sound system were awesome. On top of it all, I feel that the owner Matt is now a friend. Although we didn't meet in person, emails (suggesting great coupon ideas for activities as well as answering any questions I had) and a phone call to make sure we were enjoying our stay made me so comfortable with the whole situation. Why anyone would stay anywhere else is beyond me. Thanks Matt for a wonderful week and we look forward to a return trip!
Owner response:I had a great time getting to know you guys via emails and look forward to staying in touch as well as connecting in person next time you're down this way. I know that this was also a time of celebrating lots of good things in your lives and we trust there will be many more!

This was a perfect place for our family vacation. Super close access to both the bay and the ocean. Condo is stocked with bikes (and a kids bike trailer!), boogie boards, beach toys, kids movies, games, and some toys. Furnishings are very nice and make you feel right at home. The rooftop has a great sitting area with a firepit and bbq. Everything was clean and in great condition. The owner was friendly and helpful. We have since gotten to know him quite well and have appreciated the help he's given even outside of our rental experience. We don't have a single complaint about our experience and look forward to renting it again. Well worth the rate!

We spent our Spring Break at this property with our two kids -- 14 and 18. The whole family loved it!! The place is big with a great layout and beautifully decorated. The pictures don't due the condo justice!! Surround sound TV, top of the line appliances, multi spray jet shower, three full baths, and incredible views of the ocean, Catalina island, and the Newport Beach/Balboa Harbor -- almost 360 degree views of water (and mountains) -- from the rooftop deck!! And the location is great -- walk across the street to the beach and one block to the Newport Beach pier. The condo has bikes and we rode up and down the strand and over to Balboa island on the car ferry for breakfast!! We did day trips to Catalina Island, Hollywood, San Diego zoo, Laguna Beach, and of course a trip to Fashion Island. We walked to one of the many restaurants in the area for dinner several nights.Gorgeous! The owners are incredibly helpful! I highly recommend this beautiful location! We'll be back!!
Owner response:Many thanks to this wonderful family! You really packed it in, along with one other unexpected memory... We look forward to your next visit!!

This place feels more like a home than a rental unit. Everything has been thought of so you can just enjoy! Excellent location for everything Newport offers. The Owner (Matt) is a really decent guy.

Nice home with lot of beach decorated items make you feel like you are in the beach. The house is very clean, all the three bathrooms and kitchen are newly remodeled. The kids especially love the room with the shark wall painting. Adult and kids bike are available in the garage. Only 1 minute walking to the beach and the bike lane is right in front of the beach (very safe for kids). We enjoy so much for the 4 days staying here during Thanksgiving. Thanks for the owner to share such a nice house with us!

I hesitate to even write this review because I want to keep this secret all to myself. Matt (the owner), as posted in other reviews, is super nice and easy to deal with. The townhouse is perfectly located near the beach and bay as well as shopping. It's just a quick bike ride to the ferry too. The unit was clean, nicely updated and had all the comforts of home. I will agree with others in that there are a lot of stairs but they didn't bother us. We made good use of the beach cruisers (every day!) as well as the beach chairs. Very nice place to stay and very convenient to all that Newport has to offer. I certainly hope to be back next summer! thank you Matt!

Review Submitted: 07/13/10
Very nice condo for our family of two adults, two teens. Location is excellent, but not right in the fray on the 4th of July in Newport. Just across the street from the surf beach and basically right on the bay sailing beach. Property is in great shape, well maintained, and clean. Great parking (a big deal in Newport), enough for a couple of cars. Matt, the owner was very helpful, some small issues but resolved quickly - easy to reach and responsive. Great rooftop with bbq, firepit table, and great view of tons of firework shows on the 4th (we counted at least 10, with the one at Newport Dunes very close). Recommended, would rent here again.
Owner response:Our guests were extremely understanding providing there was an area specific power outage for most of their first day! Thanks!!! We also had a slow draining sink that the plumber was able to take care of after their stay(didn't realize how slow until the housekeeper let us know). Again, very easy going and would love to have them visit anytime.

We stayed at this location for a week at the end of April with our two small children (1 & 2.5 yrs) It was a fantastic experience from the beginning. Matt is terrific to deal with. He was extremely helpful with our very last minute booking. The condo was spotlessly clean with plenty of high quality amenities. The safety gates, pack & play, books and beach toys were very convenient - and allowed us to travel just a little lighter! The beach is so close that I was able to be back and forth (for snacks and diaper changes!) without any trouble. I would highly recommend this condo and hope to be back, myself!
