We’ve been going to Newport Beach off and on for about 20 years, but this is the first time using Beachview Rentals. We were very impressed! We communicated through text and email and Beachview checked up frequently to be sure everything was going well. Extra supplies were at the condo just as promised. We hope to use Beachview again.

Very outdated and in need to remodel. There is a terrible smell in the unit which is very unpleasant. There are areas of mold and stains. The unit just needs to be remodeled. The location is fantastic, steps from the beach. The parking garage was handy. The beds were comfortable. Lots of clean towels. Ceiling fans need to be installed to try to help ventilate, particularly to get the smell out. I would not stay here again. There are updated units nearby.

Great location. Close to sand and walking distance to stores and restaurants. Did not need to get in our car once during our stay. We had a great time. Only bummers were construction that began at 7am each day across the street and the power went out on our last full day for more than 3 hours. The power outage effected the whole street and was a Edison issue — not a house issue. I called the property company and they were able to inform us of this and provide an ETA of when power would be restored. It was restored before the ETA, so that what great.

We’re sorry for the inconvenience caused by the nearby construction and outage, though we’re glad power was restored sooner than expected.

Steps to the sand!

A great location to stay at not for just the property but the vicinity. Property is steps from the sand with a partial view from the patio. You are close enough to the Newport pier and restaurants but far enough that you can take a nice walk along the boardwalk. House was well equipped with all the essentials such as pots, pans, appliances. Check in is off side but very close and Beachview Rental staff is very professional and nice. Would definitely stay again.

2nd time also a charm

This is my families second stay at this location and it is just as advertised. The property though not new was very practical and served it’s purpose well. The location was steps to the sand and it was the perfect distance from the Newport Pier in that it wasn’t too close to be interrupted by foot traffic but it was far enough for the perfect walk and bike ride. The patio area is perfect for a barbecue and drink with a view. Looking forward to booking again.

The home was very nice and as advertised. We’ve been coming to Newport Beach for years as our yearly beach trip, but I’ve noticed the beach itself has become more of a pet area than in the past. What used to be dogs just walked on the boardwalk has shifted to people bringing them onto the sand to do their business—which isn’t where I want to lay my towel and relax.It was also disappointing that after negotiating an 11:00 a.m. checkout, the cleaning crew knocked on the door at 10:00.Overall, it was a good trip, but we may consider other options before booking again next year.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 Aug, 2025
Thank you for your comments. We're pleased to know that you found everything as expected, but sorry to hear of your disappointment regarding dogs. While leashed dogs are allowed on the beach, the City of Newport's rule is 'The person controlling the dog must have in their possession an implement, device or bag to immediately remove any feces deposited by the animal.' We empathize that you don't want to lay your towel where dogs are doing their business. We're genuinely sorry that the cleaning crew showed up at 10am and this appears to be a failure on our part. We appreciate your continued loyalty in booking us and hope that on your next visit to Newport Beach we can provide you with an exceptional experience. It was our pleasure to host you and we look forward to seeing you again.

This place was unlivable. We stayed 1 night and had to leave the next morning.

Beach View would not do anything to help us recover our money. Mold in both bathrooms. Mold on door hinges. Slashing on the couch. Bathroom door splitting at the bottom. Look’s like flood damage. If you ask Beach View has pictures. Richard 09/29/2022

Hi Richard, Your allegations of mold are false, and the condition of the home is a bit dramatic. The home is a budget-friendly accommodation, and looks as it is depicted in the photos. Price often reflects quality, and this unit is priced in line with the simple features of the home. If you are looking for an updated/remodeled accommodation, then we could offer recommendations at a higher price point, which is what we believe this situation was all about. All issues you brought to our attention were addressed and responded to same day.

Great Location, Good Management but Bugs!

Communication with the property manager was great. The location fantastic. The property is dated but comfortable with plenty of towels etc. The problem is bugs. We called when we first arrived about the small bugs throughout the kitchen which they dealt with away. We soon realized that there were little roaches through out the house. We were traveling with a child under 2 so did not want more chemicals to treat the problem. As a result we were unable to cook in the kitchen. If they could get rid of the bugs. I would stay at another of this companies property but would ask more questions.

Just overlook the imperfections

The location was the best!! 3 Houses from the boardwalk, close enough to be at the beach at a moments notice, but far enough away from all the foot traffic. As stated in other reviews, yes, the furniture was dated, but nothing broken down or unusable. However, the cleaning left a lot to be desired! The carpets were disgusting and I did not walk around barefoot inside. And then all of the fans were so caked with dirt and dust I almost didn't want to turn them on. Then, my husband had to get a metal round washer (from another maintenance company) to fix a half-a$$ed repair made to the sliding glass door that got caught on all of our shirts (ruining 2 of mine) The fridge, although it is newer, we could not use the ice nor the water from it because the filter change notification light was on, and the smell in the freezer was not nice. However, would all of this stop me from staying there again?? NO! I would definitely go back to this unit again!! The location is just too good to pass up!
