The next day hit repeat with a few changes for variety.

If a guest(s) over occupancy or noise levels result in a city fine, $1,000 minimum, the fine will be charged to the reservation. ALL guests will be immediately evicted.
Best suited for 1-4 guests including families with older children (8+) that enjoy meals, snacks, and drinks at the indoor or outdoor table.
NO PETS-pet allergy-free home due to family allergies
Out of respect for our neighbors, the patio closes at 10 PM. Our neighbors are not on vacation and their right to enjoy their homes is important!
Starfish Cottage contents and amenities are for the exclusive use of paying reservation guests.
There are friendly, quiet professionals that are long-term tenants in the back units of our home. You may never see or hear them but good to be aware they are on the property.

About the host
Hosted by Holly Wetherholt
Our family has called Newport Beach home for more than 25 years.  We personally manage the property and live a few houses away.  Close enough when you need us and far enough away for your privacy.
Why they chose this property
We chose this property because of the location, location, location!  We like to be able to park our car and walk places.  Everything you need is conveniently located within a short walk.  Our family loves the beach and the bay.  Whenever life gets too hectic, a little walk with a beautiful sunset puts everything into perspective.
What makes this property unique
Starfish cottage will always be special to us because both of our children were born while we lived here.  This is a nice community with great neighbors.  Our family enjoys being outdoors.  We never run out of things to do or places to go. We enjoy having public parking near by for family holidays and celebrations plus friends love to visit Newport Beach!
