We stayed at this house for a week, and the owner was wonderful to work with. We had never been to Newport Beach before, and she was a wealth of organized and helpful information. She was also very quick to respond to any questions we had before and during rental time. The house is great, exactly as described, and very clean and nice, and the location is perfect. We have 2 kids and were close enough to visit Disneyland and Legoland easily during our stay. Also, the house was close to restaurants (we enjoyed dinner and ice cream bars at Balboa island one night and the Yard House on another night), groceries, Starbucks, everything we needed. I also enjoyed running along the bike path on the beach very much. We will definitely take this trip again, and I would recommend it to friends.
