Great stay, close to the beach!

We had a great stay in this house! It was just a few blocks from the beach! It was very clean and had plenty of room for our family of 5. It’s in a clean and safe neighborhood. We had a private carport to use, which was so nice to not have to worry about parking. We cooked several meals in the house and it had sufficient cookware. There were 5 beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella, toys and a boogie board. Our family was very grateful for those beach items! It was very hot during our stay and although there’s not AC in the house, there were fans on the ceiling in the bedrooms and several box fans we could use. My only complaint would be that the pictures show the front of the house with a porch and chairs. We were expecting that view but that is not actually part of the unit. This house is in the back on the lower level. There’s not a porch or view of any kind. All the windows look at walls or into other houses. So I feel like the picture is misleading. Overall we were very happy with our stay and would book this house again!

Review of our stay

Great location just a short short walk to the beach. The property is actually bigger than it looks in the pictures and was very clean. We had a great stay. Easy walk to many good restaurants and shopping as well. We had a great stay.

Great place for the family.

The summary of this property is just what it says—close to the beach, some updated things which make it nice, and it’s very clean. The additional perks for us: good water pressure, wifi worked great, I liked the YouTube TV subscription. It’s hot, so we always bring box fans. I’d definitely recommend doing that—no fans provided. Overall happy with the value.

Nice but could be nicer with a few improvements

Had a great time. Place was nice but a few more steps than posted to beach. The deck was nice. Need a few more basics. No wash cloths. No dish rags. Only four towels. Toaster doesn’t work correctly. No frying pan. Circuit breakers kept popping. Could use some new blinds for sure. No towel rack in bath. The toilet keeps running if you don’t jiggle the handle. Just a few minor things and this place would see a huge improvement. Overall we had a great time there.

Misleading

The pictures were deceiving. The furniture was completely falling apart. The couch was shedding, the other couch was stained and dirty, the beds were broken down, we had to use an air mattress instead of a bed. One air mattress had a hole in it so my son ended up be on the floor. Holes in the wall. If the furniture was replaced the experience would be completely different, but paying for a place to sleep and not having the ability to get good sleep is so frustrating.

Needs some TLC

The unit we stayed in was the lower unit. The unit overall is nice. However there is no privacy as all the blinds are broken. The heater wouldn’t turn off, and they don’t provide floor fans for circulation. It was a brutal 84 degrees in the House. If they spent some money on some minor updates and provide fans and/or a small portable air conditioner it would have been perfect. We’ll pass next time on this unit.

Perfect, simple place to stay in Newport

Our stay at this property was exactly what we expected and needed. There were 5 of us and we didn't feel crowded at all. The kitchen was great, the rooms were nice and the futon was a great extra spot to sleep. Everything was clean and as pictured in the photos. We are familiar with the area so we enjoyed being able to walk to all of our favorite bars, restaurants, the beach of course and the pier. We were barely in the house during the day so we didn't mind not having a patio or outdoor space but I would say thats the only thing really missing to make the place even better. Thanks to Jason for a great stay in Newport - we will probably be back!

Loved our stay

The only thing that bothered my about the place was the couch was unstable due to being on bricks and boards, it also had bad stains on it, it would be better not being there, otherwise was a great place to stay.

Close the the beach, but no view, NOT the outside image we viewed. No washcloths-mediocre.

While it was close to the beach, there was absolutely no view. All windows looked at an alley or fence. Not the view we saw in the pictures. Mediocre towels, no wash clothes. Run down. Would not recommend.

Great Location!! Cozy Home :)

Very close to the beach and the house included everything we needed for our family including a pack and play our 17 month old slept in. Only complaints were someone parked in the carport while we were there and we had to take laps to find parking that night. Overall good experience. Three TV's all needed batteries in the remotes and the couch kept breaking (one leg on the back looked like it had been broken a few times before) but the home was nice and cozy.

Good and OK

We have stayed at many VRBO places and rent out our place in Palm Springs. Our perception of this place was mixed and we want to make sure we are fair to the owners and future guests. Its too bad, as I don't think it would be hard to make this a much more favorable review. Pros Great location in the heart of Newport beach. Décor was comfortable / cozy. Good overall value. Reasonably clean. Cons Many little things in need of attention. We sent a list to the owners and hopefully they rectify them but included mostly inconveniences like no batteries or dead batteries in the remotes to broken soap dish potentially leaking water into the shower wall (could lead to mold if not addressed) etc. These don't always get reported to owners so if they don't stay there between renters, they may not have been aware. Communication was OK. We reached out on day of arrival to see if we could get an earlier checkin and did not hear back at all. We ran into a problem with ants and heard back within a day, but just that they would contact an exterminator. No update afterwards for the day and a half left in our stay so not sure what happened. It is quaint and could be a great place to stay with just a little more TLC.

Great location

We had a wonderful vacation at this rental. It was a good fit for our family of four-double beds in the kids' room, sand toys, and close to the beach and two parks. The owners were very accommodating and helpful when we had trouble getting in; and they were easy to get a hold of. My only complaint is that the outside patio is not what the picture showed. We are outside people and would have loved an area to sit outside and eat as a family. Due to that factor alone we would probably stay somewhere else next time. But all in all, this place has a comfy feel with a great location and all the necessities. Thank you Jason and Shilpa!

Location was great

I have mixed feelings about our stay here. We really liked the location, it was close to the beach which we loved, the size of the property was fine for the 6 of us, we used both couches that fold into beds that are in the main living area, and the price was good, its tough to find something in Newport for $400/night or less. It's nice to have a washer and dryer on site. It was great to have the bedding and towels as part of the rental fee. There were nice televisions in both bedrooms and the main living area. Here were my concerns: -One of the couches in the front room has leather that is pealing all over it, I was constantly sweeping it up and it would stick to anyone that sat on it, it would have been really nice to have sheets to put on the couches for sleeping on. -there are minimal dishes in the kitchen, not enough to have 6 people eat at one time -the blinds through out had missing slats -there were minimal supplies on hand, I ended up having to purchase laundry detergent (there was only one load of laundry worth when I goth there), and trash bags -we never had access to the parking spot, someone was always in the covered car port, so parking was a pretty big hassle for us. -the counter top had missing tile -one of the bar stools were broken -the lamps had missing light bulbs. Overall I think that the property has good potential but it could use a little TLC to make it a more comfortable spot.
