This Newport Beach property was ideal for our family of 2 grandparents, 3 adults and 2 grandchildren. Beach front was so convenient to enjoy the beach but easily and quickly go back to the house as needed. The 2 levels gave privacy as desired.The ocean view from the second level balcony was ideal, with enough overhang shade. The kitchen was large and well-stocked with equipment.Beach equipment was plentiful.Home was tastefully decorated and furnished.Manager was easy to reach and responded to some initial glitches. These were remedied ASAP.

Excellent stay. Loved the house, patio, beautiful view of the beach. Great collection of beach gear that was well maintained and helpful. One bike chain (of the 3 bikes) was broken from the previous guests but they’re fixing that. Overall fantastic and easy experience! Will hopefully return there again.

Hi Mollie, we are glad that you enjoyed your stay! You are welcome back anytime. Currently, we are working on getting a new fence built for the front of the home. We are constantly trying to upgrade as the years go on to keep the caliber of the home going.

We were very disappointed that we were not informed before booking about the significant construction noise from two house renovation projects next door. This had a considerable impact on our stay and should have been disclosed in advance.

Response from VrboOwner on 2 June 2026
I am sorry to hear about your experience Andreas. All the homes are very close together down there and as I mentioned to you, I was unaware that construction had started. The home under construction is two houses down and the city ensures that they are only working during normal business hours and not on Saturday and Sunday. We are truly sorry but we do not have control over other owners improving their properties. Our hopes are that you can come visit us again in the future for a different experience.
