Our family had a wonderful time staying at Dave's property. The kitchen was well stocked with all the necessary items, there was plenty of room, and there were beach chairs, boogie boards and sand toys that we were able to utilize. The property is very close to the beach, a delicious Italian restaurant and a convenience store. Great stay in Newport!

The place was fully stocked with everything we needed. It was very comfortable and the awesome water pressure in the master bedroom is worth special mention. The proximity to the beach was perfect and having the convenience store so close made getting snacks a breeze. Well done!

The beach access and nearby convenience store really do make things easy—we’d love to host you again anytime!
Nice location for a beach getaway. Need to spray the property for roaches and unclog the shower in master bedroom. Other than that, we would stay here again.

Hi Kimberlee,
Thank you for your review. Our cleaner checked and unclogged the shower drain in the master's bathroom on July 14, 2024. We've also scheduled pest control, which was completed on July 24, 2024.
We're delighted to hear you found our home's location ideal for a beach getaway. We strive to maintain a clean and comfortable environment, and we appreciate your feedback as it helps us ensure an even better experience for future guests. We look forward to hosting you again!
This was a very easy property to book, check into, and use. It’s a block from the beach and you can find almost everything within walking distance. Parking was tight, but we never had to walk too far to the car. It was very cool to be able to bring my dogs!!

Hi Jaimee, We really appreciate it. Thank you for being amazing guests!
Nice beach location just a 3 minute walk to the beach and 1 minute walk to Barone’s Italian restaurant. It is near near dog beach, biking trails, and cute shopping areas in Newport and Huntling Beach. Check in was a bit frustrating as we had to wait 40 minutes post the scheduled check in time to get settled in the unit as they were still cleaning up from the prior stay.

Hi David,
Thank you for your 5-star review! We’re so happy you loved the fantastic beachside location, just minutes from the sand, great restaurants, and charming shopping areas.
Regarding check-in, our cleaner finished on time, and there was no indication of any delay in preparing the unit. If there had been any unexpected wait, we would have been happy to assist had we been contacted. We always strive to provide a seamless check-in experience, and communication is key to ensuring everything goes smoothly.
We appreciate your stay and would love to host you again!
We had an amazing trip celebrating my daughter's birthday with our family. This home is right across from the beach, and has a coffee shop, several restaurants, and a mini mart within very short walking distance. The location is perfect!
The home was clean and had all the items we needed to enjoy our stay. Our interactions with the staff were polite and thorough, and we truly enjoyed our vacation. Would definitely recommend this spot.

Hi Christine,
Thank you for your stay and 5-star review! We hope to see you again soon.
My family really enjoyed our stay at this location. The house was located at a very nice middle point between Huntington Beach, and Balboa. Contact with the host agency was really good. We also appreciated the beach accessories that were on site and the garage access. The only hang up was a check in 90 minutes past the check in time with some sleepy kiddos. Overall great experience.

Hi Elizabeth,
Thank you for your 5 star review. We're glad you found our place lovely! As for the garage, we want to note that its size and dimensions were provided before your stay so guests can plan accordingly. While it may not fit all vehicle types, there is typically ample street parking nearby, and we've included clear parking guidance in our guest info to make things as smooth as possible. We’re always happy to host in our bright, welcoming, and thoughtfully maintained home!
This is a bottom floor of a two story house, we never heard the tenants upstairs. The neighborhood is very quiet and friendly. House sleep plenty of people comfortably with a nice sitting patio out front. Walk to the beach was easy even while carrying items. Nice to have the garage area to store items and even has beach items for use. Great stay would stay again!
We enjoyed our stay, no complaints. It's a townhome arrangements so a bit tight and garage not connected to the home. But that's alright. Location was close to Huntington Pier and Balboa fun. Beach access but not really for swimming. There was a TV in every room so my kids liked that, and modern glass furniture. The beds were doubles not queens.

Hi Wegdan,
Thank you for your review. We're glad you enjoyed your stay and that your kids appreciated the TVs in every room!
Just to clarify a couple of the details you mentioned — There are 3 Queen beds and 2 sofa beds.
The layout of our bright and thoughtfully designed townhome is clearly outlined in the listing, including the fact that it's the lower unit of a duplex. We want every guest to arrive fully informed and feel right at home.
As for beach access, it’s true that while the beach is just steps away and perfect for walking, sunbathing, or enjoying the ocean breeze, swimming conditions can vary depending on the tide and season.
We always strive to be transparent in our listing and provide an enjoyable, easygoing experience for our guests in our charming coastal getaway.
