A pretty good place to stay.

All went well at this place. We knew it had no AC and there weren't issues. Everything as described. Only a couple of hiccups: Struggled with check in as the keyless lock didn't work. After multiple attempts, called the manager who said it was a known issue and that we were to pull the door inwards, hold it like that and key in the code. Seems like they could've warned us rather than having us struggle for a while. It's a shared garage and the other family's car from the above unit was parked in the middle blocking our entry. They were asked to move which they did after a bit. A diagram or something in the garage would have been better guidance. Finally, construction was happening all week next door. The next door house is only a few feet away from our unit and they were working outside. The workers were very nice but they started hammering super early. Wish we had been warned about the construction. We didn't complain as we were already there for just a few days and the location was perfect for what we needed. Would recommend after construction is finished if you like to sleep past 7 am on vacation :)

Perfect location and lovely unit.

Just a quick little getaway and I was so very happy I chose this place. It’s a quick 5 minute walk to Newport Pier and all the restaurants and shops. Grabbed our beach stuff and we were in the sand in a minute. Nice to have the unit so close to the sand for when you need to use the bathroom. We parked the car in the garage upon arrival and did not move it for our entire stay. We walked everywhere! We did daily morning walks down to Balboa Pier which is a 45 minute walk. It was a great workout. Such a lovely place. I highly recommend it!
