Cute place

Very clean, location is great... parking is a hustle..would be nice if they tell you there's no view at all.. it sort of feels like when they send you to the corner all the way in the back.. that would've been good to know before I reserve... it makes a difference in your decision.

Perfect

This was perfect for my week in Newport Beach. Very well located close to the waterfront and the beach, well equipped and in a super quiet neighbourhood. Loved being able to walk or ride my bike everywhere. I’ll definitely stay here again and refer friends and family.

Stayed for our honeymoon

Working with Kathy was very easy. The condo was very clean and even had chocolates awaiting us. A very short walk to the beach and condo sits on the bay side. We would highly recommend staying here. Also renting bicycles instead of a car was the way to go!

Charming, cozy, clean, quiet steps to the bay and ocean

Can’t say enough about this Host she left the lights on, cracked some windows since we were arriving late, she recommended places to eat, things to do and some great tips like rent bicycles for the day only cost $10.00 and we rode everywhere. Beach chairs and beach towels in the closet so need to pack those items. Super clean I will be staying here again. Love this place

Amazing location!

Fantastic property! Wonderful location! This is the perfect little get-away property for two. Easy to walk to pretty much everything. Easy parking on the street. Very clean! Kathy was very responsive to every question and was very accommodating on an early check-in. I will definitely use this property again! Thanks Kathy!!

PERFECT LOCATION, AND AWESOME HOST!!!

The property was great, and the location was even better!!! Kathy was a great host, and was extremely accommodating to all of my needs and request! This place is just the spot for a get away for a couple, or a couple of friends trying to experience all that Newport Beach has to offer! It's just a few steps from both Balboa Island and the Balboa pier!!! I highly recommend staying at this place, and I will definitely be back the next time I'm down in Newport Beach! Thanks again Kathy!

Regatta Weekend get away

We have stayed in this cute place a few times now and love the location and cleanliness of this studio. Kathy has always been so accommodating and easy to communicate with. A power outage happened one of our mornings and Kathy texted us right away to check in. Close to NHYC, restaurants and ferry landing. We bring our bikes to explore the neighborhoods.
