Excellent location on 37th Street beachfront. Primarily upstairs unit with downstairs access to the beach. Easy communication, beach chairs and some kitchen amenities available. No Bluetooth speaker on site so bring your own. Patio furniture was outdated and cushions and metal frames were in bad condition. There is a garage and adjacent parking that does need to be paid for. Overall good property

Host interaction was wonderful. All questions were answered quickly. Whenever I needed help he was so responsive. House is in a beautiful location. It’s nice that it’s a few blocks away from the path to town. Easy to get to the path but more quiet. Views are amazing. The house needs an update. The kitchen is nice. The downstairs has old furniture, broken blinds, old and rusty outdoor furniture. It was just a lot of little things that add up to a house that needs some TLC.
View down beach to South.

Beautiful spot. 10/10 would stay again. Check in was a bit frustrating as we never received the check in instructions, so we were outside of house for a while on the phone with Vrbo to sort it out. Eventually got the code and made it in. Everything after that was perfect. Great house. Great location. Highly recommend.

The house was fantastic! It’s a great location and we enjoyed being able to just walk out our door to get to the beach. The house was well stocked with everything we needed, including beach toys. We particularly enjoyed the upstairs balcony, where we ate several of our meals while viewing the beautiful scenery.

About the host

Hosted by Jason Jacobs

Host profile image
Hi,
My name is Jason Jacobs and I am a local Realtor here in Newport Beach. We take pride in providing a professional concierge service and want your stay to be one for the books!

Why they chose this property

We believe this property in unique in several ways. It is one of very few single family homes that are available for rent on the oceanfront. It is a three bed, two and half bath that serves perfectly for families trying to get away. It is situated on a corner lot which means the views of the beach are better. It also has some extra metered parking right next store. The master bedroom is large with high ceilings accompanied with a spa tub. Beautifully upgraded kitchen with high end appliances give the feeling of luxury and ease when preparing meals for you and your family. Not to mention an incredible host ;)

What makes this property unique

This property sits right on the sane with no boardwalk in front that allows extra privacy and a safe place for the kiddos to run around or a quiet relaxing get away.
