Great location!

The location was amazing—just steps from the beach and close to restaurants and shopping! The house was cozy and best suited for no more than four adults due to the small, shared bathroom. While the interior was a bit dated and the lighting could be better, it still met the needs of our family of four. You can’t see the ocean from the house, but with the windows open, you can definitely hear the soothing sound of the waves.

If the fans the units carry don't provide much relief, guests can always contact us directly and we'll try our best to find a suitable solution to keep them cool and comfortable.

Great place to stay with smaller group

This beach house is a great place to stay with a group of 6. The staff welcoming you in is wonderful, kind and easy to work with. If you are looking for a place close to the beach but don’t want all the crowds, this is a perfect option. It’s still close to the pier, walking distance, without out all the crazy! We have been coming to Newport for 25 years, and really enjoyed this beach house. Plus, the two parking spots are a bonus!

Great location, but loud construction across the street

The location was great, easy check in, there are a bunch of forms and such to fill out ahead of time that are unusual but I think it has to do with CA and New Port. The huge bummer was that it was made very clear in the correspondence that we needed to be quiet between 10pm-10am. That apparently does not apply to home construction across the street which started at 7am on the weekdays. woke us up even with windows closed. Not sure why that is allowed.

Not great

The actual apartment was updated and clean. The hot water did not work in shower. We asked for help and the said it was working but we tried it every which way and it didn’t. The apartment was ridiculously hot. Since it’s on the back of the building there is no breeze and despite leaving every window and front door open and utilizing the old box fans it was stuffy and sweltering. We didn’t end up staying here despite paying over $1000. I would not recommend.

Can’t beat the location!

Can’t beat the location! Walking distance from the beach was phenomenal! Especially with a family of four kids. Being able to have a parking spot was also huge! We were able to walk to all of our restaurants for dinner and didn’t have to fight the traffic. The house was clean sheets were clean and we loved our stay! The house was definitely old compared to a lot that were next to it, but that didn’t bother us! Without air-conditioning it was a little hot during the day but we didn’t spend that much time in the house during the day. Having the extra fans in the house helped a lot and by the evening it cooled down and we slept great every night! The vacuum was also so great to have. As much as we tried to keep sand out of the house it was really challenging and difficult. Every time I called Beachview everyone was very friendly and helped us out and communication was simple and easy. We would definitely rent through Beachview again!
