Place was very clean, only minutes away from the beach. Restaurants within walking distance. Great location for sure. Bike rentals across the street. I’m going back. Love this spot!
Gorgeous. A hop and a jump from the beach I found a spot a block down and over that was perfect to watch the sunrise over the bay. It was just the right space and location to really make the best out of a short trip. Very spacious and comfortable We loved the beach supplies provided!!
The place looks just like the photos. Easy access to the beach and walking distance to great shops and restaurants. Host is very accommodating and responsive.The only thing we missed was not having a patio that looked at the ocean.
Outstanding area, home was very clean and close by to many attractions. It's 1 block from the Newport Pier. And, e buildings to the sand.We will definitely return again
The condo is exactly as described. The location is absolutely perfect!! We loved it. The pier and restaurants are just a block away, and the ocean is just down the street. The host is very responsive and accommodating. We will definitely be back!!
We have spent many stays in Newport Beach over the years. This year did not disappoint. We were staying with our adult children and one teenager and it was perfect. It was very clean and had ample bedding and linens for everyone. The location of this house could not have been better. We had a small issue with upstairs tennant and management solved it immediately. We woyld definitely stay here again!
Ideal location. But be aware that because of this property being older construction - The traffic noise from the road, and from the apartment upstairs, is LOUD. To that point - The people staying above us where stomping around at all hours of night. It sounded like someone was doing construction. I honestly have no idea what they could have been doing. The last night they were there, they apparently hosted a huge party. I finally contacted the host after 12:30am to complain. The party spilled out into the driveway between buildings and neighbors were yelling at kids to clear out. Kids were laughing at, and challenging neighbors. Even after the party (apparently) got broken up - People were stomping around all night. Anyway - The host can't control guest behavior, but there is a level of responsibility to rent to serious people.
