We rented both units, had a great experience. Proximity to the beach was great, only a couple of minutes and you’re on the sand. Everything well stocked, nice furniture, kitchens, bedrooms, bbq, front patio. Will definitely rent again.

Great location! Far enough from the crowds of the Newport Pier, yet close enough to all the restaurants and freeways to have a wonderful experience.

We had an amazing family vacation taking my dad to the beach with all my siblings. The location couldn’t have been better — just three houses from the sand, which made everything easy and relaxed. The duplex setup was perfect, giving each family their own space while still letting us stay together. Our family enjoyed the beach chairs, boogie boards, and sand toys. The host was responsive, kind, and helpful throughout our stay. We would absolutely stay here again.

Great location and good facility.

We loved the location -- close to the beach. We also loved the front patio with a small fence where the kids could play. Great showers. Lots of beach equipment, It was very clean and the beds were great. We would definitely stay here again.

Newport Beach - June 2023

The property is very nice and met all our needs. With 6 BR and 4 baths, we had room to relax and enjoy our time. Each unit has a large area for food, watch soccer and meet. Only a short walk to the beach (2 blocks) and nice outside patio area.

Family Friendly Beach House

Property is in a great area, quiet for small children to nap and early bedtimes, but still walkable to the activity around the pier. 6 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms provides room for our multigenerational family. House is very well stocked for cooking or going to the beach, which is a very short walk. Beach wagon was great for the littles.

Fantastic stay in Newport Beach!!

This is a great place and so close to the beach!! Although we were not in the house too much, we enjoyed the spacious living area when we were! Kitchen and bathrooms were beautiful and the beds were comfortable! We appreciated and used the beach chairs, umbrella, and beach towels that were provided! Another bonus was all the fans! Each room had a ceiling fan and there were were four new floor fans which all helped keep us cool! Tony was easy to communicate with and quick to respond!

Close to beach

The place is very close to the beach so you can come and go throughout the day. Very clean and comfortable. Just a few loud neighbors and you have to leave the windows open for airflow. Host was attentive and helpful
