Hi Karin,
Thanks for the wonderful 5 star review! It was a pleasure hosting you. Thanks for staying with Dave and see you again soon.
Just a short walk across PCH to to the sand. Quiet neighbors and neighborhood as well. Close to everything yet far away from the busy crowds. Adjacent to the neighborhood is a water preserve which has a path for walking your dogs and well suited for kayaks and paddle boards.

Place was very very dirty.. The picture posted on VRBO looked nothing like the property. Showed a ping pong table. No table. They said liners for trash cans were trash bags. Way overpriced. I’ve stayed several times in Newport. By far this is the worst property I’ve stayed at.

This review does not reflect the experience at our home. Before leaving this review, the guest attempted to pressure us into providing compensation in exchange for a good review. We declined, and this review followed.
For future guests, we’d like to address the specific concerns that were raised.
The ping pong table shown in our listing was unexpectedly damaged by a previous guest before this stay. A brand-new replacement was delivered and assembled within 24 hours on August 2nd 2026, and our home now features a brand-new ping pong table.
The review also mentions trash can liners. Multiple trash bags are provided for guests and are stored under the kitchen sink for use throughout their stay.
We also take cleanliness very seriously, as it is one of the most important aspects of every stay in our home. Our home is professionally cleaned and inspected before every arrival, and the comments regarding cleanliness are not consistent with the hundreds of positive reviews we have received from our guests over the years.
Check in was easy and the door code was sent early which we appreciated.

Our family had a wonderful time staying at Dave's property. The kitchen was well stocked with all the necessary items, there was plenty of room, and there were beach chairs, boogie boards and sand toys that we were able to utilize. The property is very close to the beach, a delicious Italian restaurant and a convenience store. Great stay in Newport!

Nice location for a beach getaway. Need to spray the property for roaches and unclog the shower in master bedroom. Other than that, we would stay here again.

Hi Kimberlee,
Thank you for your review. Our cleaner checked and unclogged the shower drain in the master's bathroom on July 14, 2024. We've also scheduled pest control, which was completed on July 24, 2024.
We're delighted to hear you found our home's location ideal for a beach getaway. We strive to maintain a clean and comfortable environment, and we appreciate your feedback as it helps us ensure an even better experience for future guests. We look forward to hosting you again!
This was a very easy property to book, check into, and use. It’s a block from the beach and you can find almost everything within walking distance. Parking was tight, but we never had to walk too far to the car. It was very cool to be able to bring my dogs!!

We had an amazing trip celebrating my daughter's birthday with our family. This home is right across from the beach, and has a coffee shop, several restaurants, and a mini mart within very short walking distance. The location is perfect!
The home was clean and had all the items we needed to enjoy our stay. Our interactions with the staff were polite and thorough, and we truly enjoyed our vacation. Would definitely recommend this spot.

Nice beach location just a 3 minute walk to the beach and 1 minute walk to Barone’s Italian restaurant. It is near near dog beach, biking trails, and cute shopping areas in Newport and Huntling Beach. Check in was a bit frustrating as we had to wait 40 minutes post the scheduled check in time to get settled in the unit as they were still cleaning up from the prior stay.

Hi David,
Thank you for your 5-star review! We’re so happy you loved the fantastic beachside location, just minutes from the sand, great restaurants, and charming shopping areas.
Regarding check-in, our cleaner finished on time, and there was no indication of any delay in preparing the unit. If there had been any unexpected wait, we would have been happy to assist had we been contacted. We always strive to provide a seamless check-in experience, and communication is key to ensuring everything goes smoothly.
We appreciate your stay and would love to host you again!
My family really enjoyed our stay at this location. The house was located at a very nice middle point between Huntington Beach, and Balboa. Contact with the host agency was really good. We also appreciated the beach accessories that were on site and the garage access. The only hang up was a check in 90 minutes past the check in time with some sleepy kiddos. Overall great experience.

Apologies again for the delayed check-in—we understand how important a smooth arrival is, especially with tired little ones. We’re glad to hear the rest of your stay was a great experience, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
This is a bottom floor of a two story house, we never heard the tenants upstairs. The neighborhood is very quiet and friendly. House sleep plenty of people comfortably with a nice sitting patio out front. Walk to the beach was easy even while carrying items. Nice to have the garage area to store items and even has beach items for use. Great stay would stay again!
