Plan for parking. There is one parking place in the garage, but if you have two cars in can be a challenge to find a place in the summer and most of it is paid parking.
We had a wonderful stay overall! The host and their team were exceptionally responsive and helpful. When we experienced a minor internet hiccup—through no fault of the host—they had Spectrum come out and fix the issue before we even woke up the next morning.The property is priced very competitively for the area. It’s a great, budget-friendly spot if your main goal is being close to the beach, exploring the local sights, and accommodating a large family (including teenagers and small kids) without breaking the bank.Because it’s a heavily used rental, guests should expect some typical wear and tear, such as missing window screens or doors that don’t seal completely. It’s clear the owner doesn't spend extended time living in this particular unit, but none of these minor maintenance quirks ruined our trip.One important note for future summer travelers: the property does not have air conditioning, which we knew going in since it wasn't listed. However, we happened to visit during a July heat wave. While we completely understand that many beach properties rely on ocean breezes, adding a few portable or window AC units would have made the stay much more comfortable for the kids during the hottest days.**The Verdict:**Would we stay here again? Probably! It’s a fantastic location and an unbeatable value. Next time, however, we’ll reach out to the host in advance to see if we can pay a little extra to have a few temporary AC units available for our stay.
The entire stay was wonderful! Ron was great when the communication was there! The communication was a little slow but Ron was able to answer all my questions and assure me of my questions. The rooms and living areas are on the dark side. With most rooms only serviced with a dim lit lamp. I wish they added more lighting as the house is surrounded by other houses that don't let any natural light in. The furniture is outdated as is the appliances and cutlery/dishware. The parking is a little tight but definitely worth the price overall! Great value overall. Great location.

This place was one dirtiest homes I’ve ever stayed in. We did not want to use the dishes because they were dirty and when we went to put them in the dishwasher it looked like there was mold on the racks. There was also mold in the window seals and on the slider that goes out to the balcony. The balcony floor felt very unsafe and the wall of the balcony was extremely loose which is a major hazard. The carpets and bedding were very dingy and gross feeling. There was also a leak in the garage that soaked our baby stroller. Our wives ended up leaving a day early with our kids due to the concerns of the mold. Would not recommend staying here if you like a clean environment.

Cody did damages to the rental during his stay as well as leaving it dirty and required extra cleaning charges- as a result damage repair costs were deducted from his security deposit and he posted this false and negative review as reprisal for being charged the damage repair costs- the Beach rental is clean and well maintained and his claims are completely false
Ridiculously strict rules in a convenient location
We had 2 unannounced visits in 2 days we were there. Someone called the property manager/owner saying we had a dog in the house. They threatened to have us removed from the house. Rules included no music after7pm and quiet time after 10pm. Weird/bad smell in living room/balcony area. One of the toilets was leaking. Even with all the negatives me and my family had a great time and parking wasn't too bad. Best thing about this property is the location.

Antonio violated the lease contract by bringing a pet to the property and we received a contact from the guest downstairs saying he heard and saw a dog brought into the property- we notified Antonio to remove the pet and sent someone to check- as a courtesy we did not charge Antonio for the violation although we could have - then Antonio had excessive noisy guests and caused a leak to the downstairs unit from their neglect of getting water on the floor of their upstairs bathroom and we had to send someone to correct the leak- all of Antonio's problems were caused by his actions and violation of the rental agreement

Close to beach & shops
This was one of the strangest rental check ins ever. Owner wanted each guests age & relation to me. Upon ck in we were to meet a lady a 4pm on the property. At 3pm we were informed cleaning crew was not ready for us. We drove around for 45mins looking for parking because the parking garage was blocked. Once we got settled in, things got better. Place decor is nicer than the pic. Mstr shower leaks but room is nice. No A/C so afternoon is rough, but who hangs inside when you're at the beach? Nights cool down nicely & they have lots of fans.
Overall the place is ok and competitively priced. Don't expect hotel or resort pampering. There are 5 towels limited to room use only and 4 beach towels. Neighborhood is rowdy on wknd but quiet during the week. Lots of shops, bars, & eats in walking distance.
If both bathrooms & kitchen were remodeled, I would consider this place a diamond in the rough.

Glad Cynthia had a great time- the property location is one of the most prime locations in Newport- regarding check in Cynthia was told that Newport Beach has a problem with party groups and we do not accept party groups so she asked at booking the ages and relationships of her group to avoid party activity at the Beach Rental -but she never responded so she was asked again at check in simply to avoid problems at the rental- the fact that the cleaning crew needed extra time and delayed her check in was for exactly for that reason that the group before her had partied and caused extra cleaning to be required- regarding hotel pampering, of course you do not received hotel pampering such as daily maid service - but you get 3 bedrooms (sleeping 10 people) , a kitchen, 2 baths and a living room - all located only 25 steps to the beach- for the same price or less than you get one hotel room that sleeps two people- consider the advantages

The price was fair had a problem with not being able to sleep on bed linens
The property was nice could use a pain job and some updating. We were really annoyed with the cleaning lady that was there 3 times, 2 of which we’re not unnecessary, she cleaned upstairs only 1 time. If We knew she was coming we would’ve parked there but you have to go get someone out of the water at the beach, find them, and come back and move the truck in the middle of the day was ridiculous and bring all the kids back in because he was the one out there without all the kids. She was not very pleasant. When we would come home and find her at the washing machine was uncomfortable. The fact that we had to go buy sheets to sleep on the beds was ridiculous if someone had just told us we need to bring our own sheets. Instead we had to go spend the money on three sets of beds linens. Bathrooms were not very clean.

Unfortunately, Karen was an uncooperative guest who abused the house rules- the listing states clearly that there is one garage space included as parking with the rental for each unit- instead Karen abused the rules by completely parking in the garage and then blocking the rear of the garage by parking an additional large truck parked behind the garage and made it impossible for the cleaning people who had nowhere to park as well as the newly arriving guest in the other unit who also had no place to park- when the cleaning people asked them to move they were abusive and refused to move the truck making it nearly impossible to clean the other unit for the arriving guests. When they eventually moved for the cleaning crew they immediately put the truck back and refused to move it even though they were told that they were not allowed to park in that spot. Karen admits in her review that her family member parked where they shouldn't have parked and in doing so they caused a great deal of problems in preparing the other unit for arriving guests in a limited amount of time. There are two units at the building where Karen stayed and Karen knew she was not the only guest, and as such Karen needs to be respectful of the needs and rights of the other guests as well as herself. In addition, Karen's unit was professionally cleaned and the bathrooms were immaculate. In addition the property was just painted in May of this year- also, Karen never contacted me at any time about any problem with the sheets and in fact the sheets are new and if for some reason there was a problem, she should have let me know and I would have corrected it- so her claims that the rental needed painting and was not clean are completely false and are retaliatory simply because they had to move their truck which was not parked in a space that was assigned to them and violated house rules. I would not recommend Karen to future hosts and she was not typical of the cooperative and pleasant guests we have had stay and enjoy this property many times. We strive to provide a family oriented beach rental for families to come and enjoy a great beach vacation in a fantastic location and we have done so for many years with hundreds of satisfied repeat guests and it is unusual and certainly not our goal to have any dissatisfied guests
Ron was quick to reply to questions and very helpful. Location was perfect. Parking was so sparse but that is California. The house was clean and as represented.

Great location with some deferred maintenance
Can't go wrong with the location of this condo and Ron was very responsive with the couple of questions we had. Our only issue was the condition of the property is not what we are used to on our annual Newport vacations and come prepared with your own cleaning supplies and knives (not one was sharp enough to cut cheese without throwing your back into it). I don't know what the owner situation is, but I feel with not much money they could fix it up a bit and make it a really nice place. That being said it is a great location and had a great time, and the small inconveniences would not deter us from doing it again if available.
Great location!
Good neighborhood atmosphere
There is a parking space in the garage, but it is very small, so if you have a large car it could be a problem, but there is street parking nearby.
There’s no A/C, but there’s plenty of fans.
There were boogie boards and sand toys, which was nice.
Overall a good stay.
We loved the place . CLose to the beach. Restaurant's galore. There was more than enough room for everyone to move about. We spent most of our time outdoors because we went to enjoy the beach! But having a safe comfortable place to come back to is great.
