We have stayed at Brian and Jill‘s exceptional home three times now. We look forward to our vacation there every summer. The location is close to restaurants and the beach but the little street is quiet and peaceful. We love sitting on the patio, eating dinner and hanging out with our grandchildren. Can’t recommend this darling home enough.

All the beach stay basics needed with quick access to restaurants and Newport Bay

Good place to base operations out of near the beach. Had a place to park our car which can be difficult due to beach and business proximity. The owners were very accommodating and quick to respond to our needs. Over all good stay

Beautiful property

The cottage was just as pictured. It is spotlessly clean and very comfortable. It’s only 2 blocks to the beach and has a lovely front patio and a large private, back patio area. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend! Owners were also very friendly and easy to work with.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Interaction with the host was smooth. Finding the property and check-in was smooth. The property itself was just okay. The home had a constant musty smell which was off putting. The property was clean with the exception of the vent in the lounge and bathroom which had visible dust build up. The kitchen amenities were adequate for what we needed. The lounge furnishings inside the house are sparse which made it feel a bit cold versus charming. Whilst parking was available behind the property, we parked on the street due to the alley being blocked by other vehicles on two occasions. Overall the stay was just okay for us.

West Coast Stay

The house was great and met all of our needs. My kids (age 3 and 6) had a great time and loved exploring. Having parking onsite was a life saver and AC also. We were walking distance to everywhere we wanted to go. Removing a star for check in process since we didn't receive the code to get in for 20 minutes after the listed check in time and had to follow up for it. Other than that, all communication was great and they provided a ton of recommendations which was helpful since this was our first time in Newport Beach.

Great location to experience Newport Beach

This cottage is close to the beach and restaurants, so you can park your car and not use it again til it's time to check out. This 2 bedroom cottage is roomy, has a well stocked renovated kitchen, comfy beds, and a renovated bathroom. There are beach chairs and beach towels to borrow. Even though the September mornings are cool, the air conditioning came in handy to cool down the cottage at night. There is a garage to use for smaller cars, but we found on street parking and didn't have to navigate the tight turn to use it. You can lock up your bikes in the back patio area. If you don't bring your own bikes, we recommend Balboa Fun Tours which is an easy walk from the cottage. Can also rent kayaks and paddle boards there.

Perfect Beach Getaway

This was our second time renting this property, it's very clean, there is onsite parking in the alley, it's only a block and a half to the boardwalk and beach, the grocery store is less than a block away and Lido is walkable. The home has has everything you need and the kitchen is updated. It's good for our young family (kids 6 & 4) but I could see a challenge with multiple adults and the single bathroom. I wish we could use the grill and fire pit as that would add to the experience but nothing is lost by not having it. We do wish there was at least an extra love seat in the living room but again right now our kids are young so squeezing us all onto the small sofa was fine. We've been back two years in a row now and will rent again and recommend to anyone looking to stay in Newport Beach.

We had such a wonderful experience at this rental home. Not only is it the perfect location walking distance from everything, it is the perfect size for our family of 4. It was clean, comfortable, easy to get in and out of for a quick weekend. We would definitely stay next time we are in Newport. Thank you Jill & Brian!

Dodges trip to Newport

We had a great time in Newport, I have gone 15 years and i must say this location was the best, you can walk to everything. I was walking to Pavilions every morning for groceries which is only 2 blocks away. We will for sure come back.

Perfect Beach Cottage!

We had a fantastic time at the Spanish cottage by the beach. Brian and Jill are wonderful hosts; communication was excellent and we felt very well prepared for our stay. The cottage is adorable - impeccably decorated and very clean. Our small family of three had more than enough space, and we enjoyed being a short two block walk to the beach. Plenty of towels, beach towels, etc., as well as a wagon to haul your stuff to the beach. There are lots of restaurants and shops within easy walking distance, and even more within biking distance (since bikes are THE way to get around Newport Beach!). Having a dedicated parking space was awesome, particularly since parking on the Balboa Peninsula during peak times can be challenging. We parked our car when we arrived and didn't drive again until we left - we walked to a bike rental store and rode those for our entire stay. We loved riding along the Boardwalk, and enjoyed taking our bikes to the ferry and heading over to Balboa Island for a day. Our only regret is that we had to return to real life (and our real jobs) far too soon. We would absolutely stay here again, and I am already figuring out when we can return to Newport Beach. Thanks so much for being so accommodating. Brian and Jill! :-)

The property is very nice and it is in a perfect location for walking to the beach, shops, and restaurants. It also came with beach chairs, boogie boards, and (most importantly) a beach wagon to carry all of it.

Fantastic cottage by the beach!

Our family of four really enjoyed Brian and Jill's beach house. The location was great. Two blocks to the beach and a block to tons of shops and restaurants. We appreciated how clean and nicely decorated the place was. We used the beach cart with beach chairs and boogie boards and were so happy we didn't have to rent them since we flew in from Phoenix. We would totally stay here again. Thank you!

Great location!

The property was amazing. Perfect location and having a spot to park the car was huge. Owners are very responsive and check in and out was simple. The property also had beach equipment which was very nice to use. We loved the fact that it was its own dwelling and not a shared lot. We will be back for sure.
