Very convenient location, clean, but very minimal on kitchenware & towels, but certainly a great fit if you want to be in a central spot on the island.

My 2nd or 3rd stay and still enjoying it. We'll be back. Note; street parking is very manageable and not any where near as difficult as other areas in Newport. Older property, not lux but very charming. Great location. Have had stays from 3 days to 12 days...very close to other great beaches (Corona del Mar, Newport). Kitchen has full fridge, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, electric kettle. No stove. Beautiful neighborhood for walking. All you need for single or couple.

Lives up to what it was intended for - sleeping and within walking distance of what the Island and Peninsula have to offer. Good mattress; everything was functional; quieter than I had expected. The place could use a few touch-ups here and there, but all-in-all I was satisfied with my stay.

The unit that is depicted on this page is not the unit I rented. That aside, Overall the unit was clean and well taken care of. However, for the first threee dys the TV was of no use to me and I requested help and it was not until the third day that someone came out and recognized that the owner had turned off his subscription.

Hi there, as mentioned on our phone call there seems to have been a mixup - our unit is on Agate, it is not the unit you stayed in on Onyx which your review describes

Perfect for a short stay!

Exactly as described and great location! We had a nice, quiet stay. Host had shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the shower and blow dryer in the bathroom. There also were beach towels, a beach bag, and beach chairs available to use. The shower itself was quite small but think that is par for the course on the island in general. Would stay again!

Check in was super easy. We were a little worried about the parking, but there’s plenty of it any given time of day! We enjoyed the cute little restaurant Todos Santos for breakfast and it was walking distance. Would definitely stay here again!
