We absolutely loved our stay! The hosts were such a wonderful, sweet, and accommodating couple, and the cottage was incredibly clean, cozy, and welcoming. It had so many thoughtful amenities and everything we could have asked for. The location was perfect too, just a short, easy walk to the beach. We plan on staying here again and highly recommend it! Thanks again John & Kimberlee!

The perfect place to accommodate overflow for our family vacation. It offered easy access to the beach and was incredibly comfortable. The host was exceptionally communicative and answered all our questions before we could even ask. My daughter and her husband had such a great experience that I’m already booking a stay for next year!

It was everything we had hoped for. We will definitely be staying there again. I would give 10 stars if I could. My husband and I did alot of shopping, beach time and eating in the short time we were there. The home is close to everything. The home was comfortable and fully stocked we didn’t need anything extra. And Kimberly is the sweetest host. Highly recommend this property.

Exceptional host, location, and amenities. I would highly recommend this property to family and friends. Every detail is well thought out. The host are very friendly but also private. It is so convenient to have beach chairs, beach cruisers (bikes), and plenty of towels. You save time and enemy bc these details are already planned for by the hosts. 10/10.

The home itself was beautiful, with an amazing front and back patio and adorable decorations throughout. It was the perfect size for my husband and I. We loved the location as it was walking distance to a grocery store, lots of shopping and nice restaurants, not to mention the short and lovely walk down the street to the beach. The hosts are delightful and we found the accommodations a little touches to be just what we needed to relax and enjoy our time.

About the host

Hosted by Kimberlee Vandenakker

Host profile image

John and Kimberlee Vandenakker manage the VRBO on behalf of The Peter Swanberg Trust. Peter was Kimberlee's father (and friend). John and Kimberlee live on-site and are available to assist when needed. Pete, a teacher and high school football/swimming and wrestling coach worked three jobs in order to buy his dream beach house. In 1970, this dream became a reality! Come enjoy Pete's dream with us!

Why they chose this property

The property location is ideal for fun in the sun! Great public beach a block away with soft sand and friendly water. Close to all the activities and fun Newport is known for, plus the convenience of a very close grocery store (Pavillions), pubs, bank, dry cleaners and laundry mat. Beautiful sunsets too!

What makes this property unique

A new addition for the Spring 2016 - rent the upstairs unit- a one-bedroom with a large window and upgraded décor VRBO #811145). Exceptional service and hospitality. Let us know if you are celebrating something special, we will be happy to arrange for flowers, champagne or anything we can do. If you need a ride from John Wayne airport, just ask. If we can manage it, we will! You really do not need a car in Newport Beach. Check our reviews and see what some of guests have had to say!
