Was good. A little rundown inside, and the A/C hardly worked at all. Stunning spot tho, and being on the second floor was excellent. Overall, perfect for what we expected.

Beachview was responsive and helpful
Beachview was responsive and helpful the entire stay. The house was right in the beach and as described. Plenty of space, comfortable and amazing spot with panoramic view of the ocean.
Great beach property, great location! Close to the pier and 15th street market. The 3-bed room was ideal for our kids and their friends to all be in one place. Nice to have a beach rental with a pantry for food storage. Owners live above and had helpful tips. Bike locks provided on the property so storage and security for bikes was very convenient.

This beach house was an amazing location for our family vacation. The house was clean and the view was beautiful. The management company was great with communication and responses were quick and helpful. We wish the bed quality and bedding/pillows were more comfortable. Also the lack of any toiletries for a quick use before we were able to get to the store would have been amazing. 4/5 stars. It was totally great for a family stay!

Thank you very much for the review and feedback. We will discuss with the property owners and make some tweaks/improvements for next time. Take care!
My family of five loved staying here for our fall break getaway. We frequently stay in Newport and this was one of our top three places to stay. The unit itself is incredibly spacious and gave us all plenty of room to spread out. The carport easily accommodated our Yukon XL and we could have even had our roof rack on and fit with plenty of space. Sure, the deco is very outdated, but it doesn’t feel old and dirty like so many VRBOs feel. This unit was very clean and is well kept. The location is perfect, with steps to the beach and boardwalk and so many restaurants and stores close by. We would definitely stay here again.

Hello Angela! Thank you so much for your kind words. Nothing makes us happier than happy guests, so your feedback made our day! Thank you for taking care of the unit as if it were your own. Come back anytime!
My wife and I needed a break from San Francisco so we decided to rent a place on the beach in Newport, something we used to do when our two boys were little. Guess what? Two older adults can have a great time on the beach without their kids! Long walks on the beach, frisbee tossing, good food from local restaurants, and a flat that is perfectly located, very clean, very comfortably decorated and a perfect view from the balcony across the beach to the ocean and Catalina. Great place, great time, we will repeat.

William - we're so glad you lived it up with your wife (sans kids nonetheless!). We hope we can host you again the next time you need a break from the city! -Beachview Realty
Condo was nice. Only one floor. No walkout to beach which from pictures was a bit deceiving. Construction next door and behind the condo started prompt at 7am and was very annoying. The condo itself was very nice, clean and plenty big for the 3 couples though. Close to pier.

Hi Sandy, we're delighted you enjoyed your stay. Thank you, too, for the helpful feedback. We will reassess how we describe the set-up of this 2nd floor unit in relation to the beach. It was a pleasure hosting you and we look forward to next time!
-Beachview Realty
Stunning location! Great space for our family. Here is our pro/con list. Unit was a bit out dated and worn. Parking was challenging with two cars. Unit only has 1 parking space. No A/C so it can get toasty during the day. We had an amazing time! Area of the beach is less busy than the other side of the pier. This is nice since the boardwalk is right against the house. The location takes the win. Everyone was able to go back and forth from the beach all day.

Not meeting expectations
We arrived at the property and checked things around the house, and discovered quickly we need to go shopping for toilet paper, salt pepper, coffee, paper towels etc. A kind paying top money to staying i like see theese type of things could be available. My son have 2 babies to taking them to upstairs for a second he got lectured by owner can not park in the spot. Interesting hospitality and warm welcoming. The water in the showers were so low pressure to take showers. The beds are soft, small sizes and shakes a lot. The location is good but we will not be back for this roperty and management.
Great Location, walk out your door, down the stairs, and down small walkway and you are directly on the beach.
Property is extremely clean, great one level floor plan. View from the patio is awesome, Great place for coffee in the morning. (We had the entire second level for our visit- 5 adults- 4 children from 2 to 9 yrs old)
Getting help for the bbq grill was easy and they were very gracious because it was our error in using the grill :(
Entire family loved the place, especially the location.
The gate to the beach needs a little help (wood gate that you move over each time).
The parking was an extreme inconvenience. Only one parking space available so you have to find parking for the second vehicle, which was not the easiest at times.
Rules are given about quiet time which depending on what guidelines you read, states anywhere from 9pm to 10am. (confusing) However, construction starts bright and early at 7 am.
Would reserve again. Parking was the only thing that may deter us.

We have noted your feedback and will consider them to ensure that future guests have an even more enjoyable experience. Thanks for supporting us and we hope to see you in the future!
The best thing I can say about this unit is it had a ocean view. The unit was dated, most of the pillows were flat as a pancake, there was only liquid soap in both bathrooms and one roll of toilet paper per bathroom. No shampoo, conditioner, bar soap, laundry detergent and just one hairdryer for a property that sleeps 8. Despite a call on day 2 to the mgmt. co. the cable TV was out for 3 days and no one came. There was only one additional blanket for 5 beds. There were cheap plastic chairs on the balcony with no cushions. I have never had such a poor experience with a VRBO rental. The cost was exorbitant for this unit considering the above. So disappointing for a girls trip to celebrate an 80th birthday.

Hi Jan, we are sorry that you were not fully satisfied with your stay. We are especially sorry that we have no record of your phone call regarding the cable issues you were having. We are staffed 7 days/week to ensure issues such as that are handled right away. It sounds like we dropped the ball on that repair, which is greatly unfortunate. As for the home's inventory, we list everything that is and isn't included within the home's listing description. At this time, we only provide starter supplies of certain toiletries. For folks looking to book, please take note of these details before booking, or call us with any questions you may have.
Our best,
Beachview Realty
The location is as good as it gets. It really is amazing. Right on the beach and within walking distance to restaurants, shops, etc.
Great space for 10 people, except the sofa bed was so bad it was a joke. My daughter slept on sofa beds in cheap hotels for the 3 nights before arriving just fine but could not sleep on the sofa bed because it was unreasonable and in ridiculously poor condition.
Each bed only has one thin blanket, which is not enough for 50 degree weather. Some of the pillows were so thin they doubled in size with pillowcases.
I'm not sure how they plan on 10 people arriving as there is only one small parking space, but we were there when it was not great weather so we were able to find street parking around the block for the other car.
The kitchen was well stocked. There were enough towels for 10. It was great having washer and dryer (brought our own detergent) right there.
There are beach toys there and we left two boogie boards because we couldn't haul them home.
Keep in mind that they do not provide toiletries or more than basic cooking equipment.
Overall, take some blankets and don't plan on using the sofa bed and it's a great place to stay.

Great stay right on the beach. Super clean and had all the basics provided. Boardwalk right outside the patio. You don't need a car....you can walk everywhere. Excellent stay! Thank you.
To many constant reminders of so many rules and regulations. The VRBO charges $450.00, for what? Been coming to Newport for many years and can’t believe the charges so high with no explanation what they are for. I’ve paid $$ for guarantee we respect the property and then a return of the monies. The place was nice but I don’t think we will use a place where the owners live there. The property manager made it very clear many times “they were there”. Met one of them, not very friendly. Beach chairs - rusty! Great location made it easy to not be bothered. Thanks
