Thank you for your comments, Colton. Wonderful to hear this home was perfect for your family and that you enjoyed the great location! We hope to see you again on your next visit to Newport Beach. Kind regards, BVR
This beach Cottage was exactly as advertised-clean, comfortable, cozy, convenient access 1 block to beach, and cute. It is walkable to the Newport Neach Pier, and many fantastic restaurants are nearby. The beds and pillows were super comfortable. The on site parking garage is a bit tight, but it worked well especially on the weekend when parking on the street was scarce. On site washer and dryer is convenient as well. We would stay here again and highly recommended this beach bungalow!

This quaint beach cottage was just what the Dr ordered. We all enjoyed the location and accessibility to everything that was close by. Restaurants and grocery store within walking distance. Beach one block away. Will definitely book again!

We would definitely stay here again
We had a great time on this trip. We would definitely stay here again, close to everything and very walkable. The bathrooms, kitchen and living room are all very tidy and clean and included all the amenities we needed.
Wonderful location, well stocked kitchen, beautiful and inviting decor. Perfect for a weekend getaway with lots to do from eating out to relaxing on the beach or going on a harbor cruise.
