Perfect location, a few steps away from the beach. Nice new grill, loved having a space to park two cars and that the unit had AC. We literally walked everywhere because everything was like 5 min away. Plenty of towels, kitchen items etc.... Everything was perfect. I would stay here again!
You can't beat the location & proximity to the beach! We weren't aware that there was an upstairs rental unit as well so there was some noise but overall a great place to stay in Newport! Heads up, the garage is difficult to get in and out of with dumpers and cars parked in a tight alley.
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home. The accommodations were lovely and it was an amazing location, Steps away from the sand.
The owners were very kind and accommodating. I highly recommend renting this home for your family vacation.
Great spot to celebrate the 4th! Steps away from the beach and walking distance to just about everything you need. The home was clean and comfortable. Check-in and check-out instructions were clear and simple. I received a text message notifying us the home was ready a few hours earlier than check-in time which was amazing! We would stay here again.
Overall, this property was a perfect location to stay at for a few days . There were a few housekeeping details that the owner needs to improve on, in my opinion, before we would book this location again. We had to contact the management company and ask that a mattress be replaced because when two people slept in it the mattress sank in the middle; it was terrible. Thank goodness Villa Rentals came up with a solution ASAP (and FYI, if you book through them you can save yourself $$ rather then getting charged by VRBO). Lights needed to be replaced, fan chains were missing, laundry detergent wasn’t provided, the sliding glass door was nearly impossible to open and Venetian blinds were provided with “instructions” to be careful when opening and closing as they would easily fall off. Again, the owner needs to invest a few hundred dollars and upgrade some things so that vacationers aren’t bothered with these inconveniences.
If you’re looking to stay one to three days, this place is fine. If you need a place for a week or longer, until the owner upgrades some items, I would look elsewhere.

Ridden hard and put away wet...
We could have loved this place, but so much took away from the experience. The place was fairl spacious and close to everything.
It really needed a deep cleaning. There was a filthy toilet that had been missed a few times by the cleaners, the dishes in the cupboards weren't very clean and there was weird/gross handprints on the headboard of our bed. It needs a serious update/ remodel. Its straight outa 1997... with decor not as nice as a dentist's office. Tacky paper signs are posted through with tape or pushpins. You have GOT top run the crappy dishwasher to believe how loud it is. Like an army marching by. Hilarious. Cheap appliances, dishes. Ext... clearly designed for the *hose it out at the end of the stay* customer.
Zero soaps, shampoo.... so dont come unprepared... since most places have dispensers now. Could a used more blankets.
Had to deal with upstairs tenant who didn't know how to park in the garage (or read the relevant tacky sign about parking)
Meh, won't go back there.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 Mar 2020
We regret that this guest had an unpleasant stay. We would have sent our housekeepers to correct what they overlooked and we also would have been happy to provide additional blankets had the guest made a request. We are always quick to resolve any issues within our control, but we were never contacted by this guest during their stay. The decor of this property was chosen by the owner and is accurately represented in the photos, but it is the owner's personal style and ultimately his decision. The upstairs guests that had a tough time with the parking are from another country and did not speak English, hence the issue with them not being able to read the parking signs. We would have been quick to help with any issues during their stay had we been given the opportunity.
The place is great — patio out front, rooftop deck, living sleeping and showering in between. Boardwalk and beach just down the street and no street crossing required. Checks all the boxes. Walk a hundred feet to rent electric bike or beach cruiser, shops, coffee, donuts and restaurants a minute or two walk. Two parking spaces were incuded, which was really great. Overall I’m giving it two thumbs up.
Location on 24th street was perfect… convenient to shopping, restaurants, surf shops and the beach. AC only in master bdrm… but that was expected… wifi worked great. Overall would recommend this location.
As expected . . . helpful & responsive property management
This is a tricky review to write because previous reviews noted the negative aspects of the property, so nothing was a surprise. First, the management company is very helpful and responsive and they make the arrival and departure very easy. The location is good if you want to be close to the restaurants and bars by the pier, and of course you are steps from the beach, which is so convenient. The negatives are the bed in the downstairs bedroom, it is absolutely horrible, just as other reviewers noted. It sinks in the middle and desperately needs to be replaced. The toaster doesn't work properly either. And the house smells very musty and moldy. The house could use an update of appliances as well. But, this house has no problem being rented all summer, so I don't think these things will be changed if the owner can avoid them. It is the nature of the peninsula with renters in and out all year, and lots of young people renting who might not care for the home like others would. So, if you don't have an issue with the beds and appliances, and you want to be close to the beach and action, this property will suit you well.
Great location, nice home but we could hear the children upstairs stomping their feet. Not much for cookware in the kitchen. Parking in the tandem garage was difficult. I have a midsized SUV and the person we shared with had a large truck. This made it difficult getting in and out of the car.
Great location… loved staying here with my family! My parents, my wife and my two boys!
It was a great place and great location! Only complaint was the queen bed was really really saggy and worn out!
Excellent location, clean, easy use of all amenities.
Great time for my dads retirement party. My brother rented another property from the same company. Both properties were exactly as advertised. Would definitely use again.
Pretty good, little outdated, washer and dryer is a bit noisy no ac downstairs. Good location. Beds are comfortable I would stay here again. My rate would be 7/10
The rental property was great! It was exactly what we thought it would be. Close to the beach and restaurants. For the price this is a great unit. My family had a wonderful time. The only issue that we came across was the garage door remotes didn’t work (maybe just a battery) but it was no big deal because there was also a keypad to use.
I definitely recommend this rental to others.
Thank you,
