Great stay! We have actually stayed at this listing a few years ago, and it was just as amazing this time around as it was then. Highly recommend for a family stay. We love it.
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 The house is old and outdated.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 The outdated house is reflected in the price for the size and location.

Very old property. Small kitchen. Bedding old. Dust in casita. However, we chose this property as it has a grassy field, beach and on the boardwalk! Quick response to need of cleaning, electrical outage, and communication was clear and helpful.

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.

Great location. Nearby bicycle rentals, restaurants and electric boat rentals. Surfing at Blackies beach just north of Newport pier 1.5 miles from home. Comfortable for our large group. The air conditioner worked for us (keep windows and doors closed when A/C is on.)

Very happy with the accommodations. Right on the beach, easy To locate, off street parking, nice house with bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate 6-8 couples. Walking distance to the pier, shopping, eateries, bars. Definitely worth a look for your next vacation stay at the beach.
Some minor issues but were resolved by the property manager.
Dated but pleasant. Worked well for the 17 of us.

There were so many good things about our stay. There were a few issues.Upstairs 3rd floor drywall was a disaster and bugs were in this room. Our child was bit during her sleep and the bugs were in and around the bed where the drywall was exposed also opening in the wall with paint chipping and plaster. Has this been tested for asbestos? We need this confirmed. Plumbing backed up continually. Flys everywhere on the patios and then in the house. Outdoor fire pit not working. No air in the Casita. I have pics of the bites and bugs and drywall.

Fred, we truly apologize for the issues you encountered during your stay as we understand how those things could definitely put a damper on your stay. We have brought all of your concerns to our team and they have already began addressing them. We would have been happy to address the issues if we were made aware of them but unfortunately, we did not hear from you during your stay. We hope to be lucky enough to be given a second chance to host you for a better stay.
Brought family from all over the US to celebrate grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary. They couldn't have been happier with the house.
Thank you to Newport Vacation Rentals for being 'on call' for us throughout our stay.

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.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Great location as the backyard has direct access to the beach. However, this place had an extremely strong odor when we first walked in. The light in one of the bathrooms did not work. One of the bed frames was broken on the third floor and one of our kids almost fell. Overall it is a very worn down place that needs renovation. When you check out, they ask you to remove some of the items on the beds and towels and leave them on the floor by the doors, which I don’t understand why because we had to pay all these fees. If you have a big family and you stay on the first floor, you’ll hear all the footsteps which makes it hard to sleep if you’re a light sleeper.
