Location Great and check-in/check-out process doesn't get much easier. Because of this, I give it two stars. If you only want a great location, this is the place for you. That being said this place needs a major makeover and deep cleaning. We will not be returning to this location.

Great location however not necessarily the best place for a family wanting quiet time. Lots of young people partying and the upstairs people sound like they are right beside you. We did love the proximity to the beach and if we were younger might have enjoyed the party atmosphere.

I'm glad Marcy enjoyed the Prime Newport location of the beach rental-however there definitely was not any party activity at the rental and we do not allow any party activity- she failed to mention that any party activity by young people she may have experienced was at other buildings in the area and not at this building which is something we cannot control and also the group upstairs was only three adults and no young people

The proximity to the beach was awesome! The rental was super loud could hear everything from upstairs! Listing said there was a washer in the unit so packed with that in mind to find out it was coin op in garage. Do not drive a SUV there is NO room to park! Owner/caretaker is always stopping by.

Great location, but small.

This rental is just a short walk to restaurants, bars and beach rental shops. The unit was clean when we arrived. The kitchen is small and adequate for small meals. The apartment is listed as 1700 sq. ft. It is half that size. The "Do's and Don'ts" list posted on the fridge states (item 6) not to use the sheets and pillow cases on the bed, "please place your own sheets and pillow cases over the protective cover". They will charge you a 20 dollar replacement fee if you don't. If the host wants guests to bring their own bedding, it should be stated in the listing.

Dennis was a good guest however, he is incorrect in stating that the rental unit is less than 1700 sq ft- it is a spacious 3 bedroom unit for Newport, especially considering the usually small rentals which are the norm in Newport Beach where space is expensive and at a premium. As for the linens- all linens and towels are provided - and there is no requirement to place your own sheets for an additional charge

1st you can not beat the location. 1 house away from the NB boardwalk, few houses away from shops and restaurants on the boardwalk and surrounding area. Garage parking, I did not move our car in the 3 days there. Communication was great by the host before, during and afterwards. We actually left the car in the garage for 30 minutes after checkout due to long lines at the breakfast place nearby. The unit has xtra sleeping 2 bedrooms have queen bed and additional twin in the rooms which was a surprise. Beds were comfortable. Would like a few xtra towels bath and hand towels and the cabinets could be updated and tile grout cleaned but can't complain it is a beach house. Literally walk everywhere even to the grocery store. Loved it.

Not really good

This place has a prime location steps to the beach. The home is very dated. There are various printed signs stating that there will be a $30 charge if you mess up the input on the TV which is a small TV that we never even turned on, an old printed instruction sheet on the fridge said we would be charged if we did not bring our own linens (turned out that was out of date and did not apply), a comforter had a stain on it so I took a picture to make sure I would not get an upcharge, the garage is too small for any trucks or larger SUV and is just a manual swing up garage, the windows are all very old aluminum framed windows that are rickety, the washing machine and dryer in the garage costs you $1.25 per load so you need to get quarters, the shower drips non-stop, no outdoor hose so you rinse feet off in small buckets outside, and the kitchen is not well equipped for cooking. All in all I was nervous that any one of the old out of date things could break at any moment resulting in an upcharge. I was warm one night and didn’t even feel comfortable touching the thermostat. Stay here if you are looking for the prime location and not if you care about your comfort.

I was surprised at Sean's review- unfortunately Sean damaged the linens and as a result he has left unnecessary claims about the property- he stained one comforter and also ruined the bedding on another bed when one of the females in his group had a minstrel cycle and left bloody sheets and blankets that had to be thrown away- he also parked his vehicle at a diagonal in the garage making it impossible for the other guests to park and had to be told to move it- there is a coin laundry and we leave coins and soap packets for our guests-most of our reviews are 5 star and guests really enjoy the property.

Avoid This Property Like the Plague

We rented this place with a review from my sister who stayed here and thought it was okay. The location was perfect. Her only complaint was that the owner charged her for a stained sheet that she was sure they had not stained. So we thought we'd just take precautions by taking pictures of the sheets before we left. It's a good thing we did, because 13 days after checkout, I got word from VRBO that my card was charged $210 for "flooding the bathroom and bedrooms and clogged the shower drain." It is now under investigation. In the pictures I took moments before we left, you can clearly see the carpets are dry. We also checked all the drains because of a clear warning sign in the bathroom about charges for clogged drains. Only stay here if you don't mind paying more after your stay is done. Just a few other complaints: When we arrived, one of the sheets had a stain before we ever got in it. The beds were hard and uncomfortable. They had the carpets cleaned during our stay, so we had wet carpets for 24 hours. The neighbors to the East had a party outside our bedroom window and kept us up until 2:00 am. The owner and manager were good at answering texts during the stay, but when one of my sisters left some expensive clothes there, they would not answer our texts for 5 days until her husband got upset. Not worth the stress!

Glad Marilyn enjoyed the prime beach location- it's unfortunate that Marilyn overflowed the bath tub which resulted in flooding the bathroom and entrances to two of the bedrooms and stained the wall and baseboards, all which all had to be treated by flood control before the next guests could check in- we never want to have to charge guests for damages and always hope they will maintain the rental in good condition, which is usually the case with most of our guests

Awesome location. VERY dated home

For the price, it is NOT worth it. We made a last minute reservation (by last minute, I mean less than 24 hours before) . The property manager was quick to respond and accept. Communication was easy. Check in required meeting someone at the location to get the key. The key only worked the handle. You could not deadbolt the door from the outside. The location is the third house in from the boardwalk, which made it easy to get around. The house has been painted on the exterior and the interior at some point, but that is literally the only update that has been done. There were very few amenities. Half-used hotel location and shampoo bottles were provided and there were extra towels (albeit very small) in the hall closet. Beds were VERY hard. The home has beds for 9, but we literally slept on the couch because of the discomfort. Headboards are all made of plastic. It served its purpose, but I was very disappointed in the price vs. what came with the home. The outside table on the patio is so rusted that they covered it with a plastic table cloth and set heavy items on top to disguise the age. We paid over $1800 for three nights. I would NOT stay here again for this price. Either update it (like the upstairs unit which we got to go into and was very cute) or lower your price.

Kelly obviously did not appreciate the location and up to date condition of this Prime Newport Beach rental in the most desirous area of Newport Beach- the property is maintained at a high level and is far better maintained than most Beach rentals and any rust that might occur on a metal table is because she was literally a few steps from the Pacific Ocean- (as a side note Kelly booked a party of 3 people but had 8 people and was not charged any additional- and the headboards on the beds are wood and not plastic)

STOP!!! Don't stay here!

Stayed at this property with my girlfriend and 5 friends on NYE. We needed a place near the beach because we had plans to go to an outside club to celebrate the new year near there. Due to Covid these plans were cancelled the day of the event and there was not much else open. We decided to stay in and celebrate at the beach house and had a few extra people (11 total in the home to be exact). We did have music playing and we were a little loud at times but we were keeping the patio door closed and we never heard from any of the neighbors and the neighbors next to us were also throwing a party. It was NYE, people were celebrating. Exactly 8 minutes after midnight the owner texts me this "I was notified by the neighbors that you are having a loud party- it must stop immediately- you will be removed from the unit- pack up and be out within the next hour- I will be there and you better be gone before I arrive- the police will be notified." The Owner gave us no warning or courtesy call before he sent me this txt. He was just immediately kicking us out. We contacted the owner and had a conversation with him briefly after this and he was extremely upset and very impolite and rude. We had sent our extra guests home after the phone call and around 130am the owner shows up barging in the house using profanity and saying to get out. One of the guests was sleeping on the couch and he put his hands on him and told him to get out of his house. So we were kicked out the first night of our 2 day rental after we had all been drinking which I think is very irresponsible by the owner. We had to take Ubers to a nearby hotel which cost us extra money. The cops did end up showing up before we left and while I was having a conversation with them they mentioned that the owner is known for doing this and that they had been to his house several times over the summer for the same reason. The owner also blamed us for lighting off fireworks which we absolutely didn't do and he ended up charing us an extra cleaning fee when we DIDN'T trash the house in any way and also cleaned up as much as possible before we left. We have filed a report with VRBO and they're investigating the situation and I hope to hear back from them soon. But If you are planning on staying in Newport Beach I URGE you to look elsewhere. Owner is very rude and this was a horrible experience.

The place was perfectly located steps from the beach which was great for the kids. We were also walking distance to great restaurants and bars for the adults. The host responded really quickly to our questions and it was great having a dedicated parking space so we didn’t need to drive around looking for a spot to park overnight.

Great Location, Older Unit

We loved staying in this spot. We love Newport and being near the Newport Pier affords so many activities. The beach and waves were better here than I expected and there are lots of eating options around. Ron was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly to questions. The only drawback was the low garage (our GMC Yukon didn't fit) and the next-to-none free parking. This street and the few surrounding it are very narrow, they open up after that. Just be warned that if you bring a big car you will spend time (and money) parking.
