We enjoyed our stay. The property was around the corner from the beach and the Ocean Front Walkway. Plenty of room for 5 adults. The kitchen was nicely equipped with plenty of utensils, pots and pans. Beds were very comfortable. Great spot with garage parking available and plenty on on street parking available.

Great location, well stocked home with everything you need for a stay in beautiful Newport Beach. Owner very responsive. Deck and patio are nice for relaxing. There can be some traffic noise during commute hours if the windows and screen doors are open. So close to the beach and walking path! Perfect to walk out and use the provided beach chairs for incredible sunsets!

This home was perfect for our group of four! The host was awesome—very communicative, friendly, and always available if we needed anything. The location couldn’t be better—just one block from the beach and conveniently situated between Balboa Park and the Newport Pier. The bay is only a few blocks away, perfect for paddleboarding or biking over for a quick morning adventure. This was our second stay here, and we love renting bikes for the week, which makes everything easily accessible without needing a car. That said, the garage is great for parking or storing bikes. We absolutely love this place and will definitely be back next year!
