Response from VrboOwner on 3 Nov, 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We understand how important ocean views are when staying at the beach. The City of Newport Beach has recently installed protective sand berms along the coastline to help prevent flooding during periods of high tides and coastal storms, which may have impacted the view from the main level. While these measures are outside of our control, we understand your disappointment and appreciate you sharing your experience.

We had a great stay, the house easily accommodated our family with so many rooms and each having its own bathroom is a real plus. The kitchen is well appointed with everything you need, and the beds were comfortable, plenty of towels and linens, lots of space to hang out, and parking for 5 cars is a real plus! The property does need some maintenance and updating though and would benefit from new outdoor seating suctions as we do spend a lot of time there.

Thanks so much for staying with us! We’re glad the house was a good fit for your family and that everyone had plenty of room to spread out. Having a bathroom for each bedroom and parking for five cars is definitely a huge plus, especially in Newport Beach! We appreciate the feedback on the maintenance and outdoor seating as well. We’ll be passing that along to the homeowner, especially since we know how much time our guests love spending outside while they’re here. Thanks again, and we’d love to have you back!

We had a wonderful week! The layout of the house was perfect for the 14 of us and we loved being right on the beachfront. There were 5 beach chairs for our use and some sand toys. The kitchen was very well-equipped. The view from the master bedroom was amazing. However, the home could use a good, deep cleaning!!! Also, the shower in the courtyard didn’t work, We only had a cold water hose to rinse off the sand from the beach. The outdoor shower should be repaired to make it easier for guests to comply with their request to remove all sand before getting into the showers inside the house. The front porch is a pleasant spot, but the cushions on the porch furniture are in drastic need of replacement. It made it difficult to enjoy the porch. The location is great, with restaurants and activities within walking distance. Check in and check out were seamless. The week was so good, but could be improved by the suggestions above, especially for the money we paid.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We’re so glad the home worked well for all 14 of you and that you enjoyed the beachfront location, ocean views, and well-stocked kitchen. We’re sorry to hear the home wasn’t as clean as it should have been, and we understand how frustrating it must have been to rinse off after the beach without a working outdoor shower. We’ll be following up with our cleaning team and the homeowner regarding the shower and porch cushions, as those are certainly things that can make a difference during a stay. We’re happy to hear check-in and check-out went smoothly and that your family had a wonderful week overall. We appreciate you staying with us!

Location is amazing and size of the home incredible. Tons of space to spread out, plenty of parking and great bedroom layouts. The home is a bit dated and could definitely use some new cushions on the patio and a few upgrades, but overall great stay! Management company was extremely helpful, responsive, and amazing to work with.

Can’t ask for a better location. Right on the beach with the park next door too for games etc. Pretty quiet as you’re down away from the shops. Parking was convenient other than garbage day. The house sleeps a lot of people however the kitchen is very small for the amount of people. The house is old and outdated. It could really use a deep clean especially on the main floor. A few minor updates would go a long way with bathrooms/fixtures etc. We had a son in a wheelchair and although we made it work it was very tricky and tight spaces. Hard to get him in and out and the main floor has lots of thresholds etc. I would not recommend for someone looking for accessibility. The patio is great to sit on and watch the sunset and people, just be prepared to clean things off. Overall our group of 16 had a great experience and loved the location. Wish it was a little cleaner and a few updates. Very responsive communication. The outdated house is reflected in the price for the size and location.

Family Friendly Beach House

The beach house is situated right across from the sand and within a short walk to the Balboa pier shopping area. There is a play area close by too for smaller children. Our group consisted of 20 family members ranging in ages from 4 months to 74 and we all had comfortable accommodations., and a nice plus was that each bedroom had its own bathroom. The kitchen was well equipped, though small. The garage has barely six feet of clearance, so just small cars can fit . All in all, I would stay there again, it’s a lovely rental and well maintained.
