Great location, pretty quite neighborhood, except for the loud bird next door that liked to wake us in the morning. At the 10 PM quiet time everything did not quite in the hood. The property is very cluttered and needs to be minimalized quite a bit, but we enjoyed our beds very much, they are all very comfortable. Each of us raved about that. But no other place was very nice to relax, the chairs and couch just need to be taken our and trashed and get new. The home only is allowed to have 4 people there, but there are at least 40 wine glasses of all shapes and sized, it would have been nicer to have 4 clean wine glasses that were more modern and space to put our food in the cupboard. It kinda felt like being at grandmas house.

Thank you for the feedback! We’re so glad to hear everyone loved the beds and that you enjoyed the location. We really appreciate your comments about the furniture, décor, and kitchen setup as well. We’ll be passing those along to the homeowner, as it’s always helpful to hear what would make the home more comfortable and functional for our guests.
As for the noisy bird next door, that’s one neighbor we unfortunately don’t have much control over! 😊 Thanks again for staying with us, and we hope you were still able to enjoy your time in Newport Beach!

This place was perfect for my husband and I and our dog for a long weekend. Peaceful, clean and quiet, and a great location, walkable to the Bay and the beach and a long but great walk to Balboa Village. We left a laptop at the property and the people at Burr White were WONDERFUL in helping us track it down. Will be back to this property!

Celebrated my wife's birthday over the labor day weekend. The house was very comfortable and clean. It was very close to the beach and only a couple houses from the marina beach.
we walked to all our meal locations. We took our dogs and but confirm with the realty company, because there was a misunderstanding and I was called on my last day there, like I had tried to sneak them in. but my vacation was an excellent time.

Recent stay
House was as advertised in a nice area steps to the Bay and Ocean. Upon arrival, however, house was very dirty...floors were dirty and sticky, bathroom toilet was not cleaned and Kitchen looked like it had not been cleaned in a few weeks. Kitchen was well stocked, but the Microwave looked like it was from 1971. Still managed to have a nice time, but property manager needs to get a new cleaning service for what they charge per night to rent this place.

Overall it was lovely. Clean, quiet, comfortable, charming, great location. Burr White Realty did a great job getting our questions answered. A few things that we feel needed improvement were...1. We had to put our bedding on our beds. After traveling to get there, that's the last thing we wanted to do. As well as being required to remove bedding after our stay.2. There was a strong natural gas scent coming from the old kitchen stove/oven. We weren't overly concerned but it wasn't pleasant.3. The front step was terribly slippery after the dew/rain. I can't imagine someone not getting hurt on that.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We have notified our maintenace department to inspect the stove and front step immediately. Additionally, our management staff has been made aware of your feedback about making the beds for review in future policy changes. Thank you again for sharing your feedback with us and we look forward to seeing you again on your next trip to Newport Beach!
We flew across the country to stay in Newport Beach. Our plane landed at 12 pm. We arrived at house at 1 pm. Check-in was at 4 pm. We requested early check-in. We had to wait outside the door with suitcases for nearly 2 hours before they would give us the entry code. The house was ready the entire time. This was unacceptable and uncalled for. General maintenance for the house appeared to be neglected for many years. Parts of the window blinds literally broke and fell to the floor upon touching them. We had to frequently rig and fix them. The washer and dryer were unusable until about day 2 or 3 due to hoses not being properly hooked up. The coffee pot was not cleaned, full of old coffee grounds, and mold was growing inside. From that, we hypothesized this house is not frequently rented. It takes a while for mold to grow. Also, black mold was growing in the shower.The listing says will sleep 4. That is ridiculous. The house sleeps 3. The 2nd bedroom had a 1-person day bed and a futon. Our friends had to bring a queen size blow-up mattress. We rearranged furniture to make it temporarily livable for 2 couples. The house was kinda cool and had the "old feel" to it, which appeared to be the general theme of the area, but general maintenance was not performed for many years. The living room TV had to be at least 10-15 years old. The TV stand was rigged to fit the TV, making it look ridiculous. The bedrooms had no TVs.We made the best of it.

Edward, we sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered during your stay and want to address your concerns. Our records show you requested early check-in by phone at 1:14 PM on your arrival day. Our reservationist made the request but explained that same-day requests can’t be guaranteed due to cleaning and inspection schedules across multiple properties. We always recommend guests make early check-in requests the morning of arrival so we can better accommodate them. We also apologize for the blinds and possible mold and will look into both immediately. Regarding the sleeping arrangements, our listing photos accurately show the bed types and note that TVs are not in the bedrooms. We hadn’t heard from you after your early check-in request, but would have gladly addressed any issues during your stay. We hope you still enjoyed your time in Newport and would welcome the chance to host you again for a smoother experience.

Reviewer Comments:
I will never rent from Burr White again. This location was great, the house ok, but Burr White's customer service was dismal. Upon arrival the toilet wouldn't flush and the shower curtain fell every time someone touched it. Upon calling BW, we were expected to wait for the maintenance person AND the plumber the next day. Also, the BW customer service agent actually blamed US for the toilet..twice! To say I was upset is an understatement. To immediately blame the client is totally unacceptable. To make matters worse, we drove almost 10 hours to get there and had to struggle to make the tight window to pick up the keys (ever hear of a lockbox?!), and then to find I had to make up all the beds as the sheets were left on top of them, was frustrating..I was tired and on vacation and didn't want to make up my own beds in a rental. Small thing, but really below standards for Newport Beach. Again, will never rent with Burr White again..too many things made what was supposed to be a relaxing vacation, stressful...all unnecessarily.
The home was in a great location. Clean and small and organized.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us! We have documented your comments and they have been forwarded to our management and maintenance teams for review. We look forward to seeing you on your next Newport Beach vacation!
Loved the location of this house and the proximity to the beach. Very clean property. There have been a few minor changes to the property since the listing photos were taken. It's not a very intuitive space and it took time to figure out the pull out bed and the lights. Minivans be warned that the garage is TIGHT. I scraped the side of my van pulling into the garage. Driving from out of state and dealing with California traffic I found the one hour window to pick up the keys at the realty office a hard deadline to make. A keyless entry option would have been nice.
The property was exactly as shown in photos and described. In fact, there were lots more kitchen and beach supplies than we could ever use. The neighborhood was convenient to everything. The management company was so easy to work with and made our stay seamless. We will stay there again
