Overall happy with the stay. Nice spacious house and great location. Good communication with the owner. Parking is a big issue specifically on a holiday weekend. Very dirty grill and noticed 2 smoke detectors missing. Instructions for turning on tv and ac in family room would be helpful. Would gladly come back but maybe not on a holiday weekend.

Yearly Family Vacation
We truly enjoyed our time at 209 33rd. It was our yearly vacation with our adult children. The location was excellent. The house was exactly as described. The Living Room is even larger than pictured. Such a great room to hang out in. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed. The house was immaculate. The “sand toy closet” was chocked full of chairs, boogie boards, etc. The host went out of his way to make our stay exceptional.

Fantastic property
The property was clean and better maintained than most rentals in the area. The bunk bed is double and worked fine for a couple. Very comfortable for three couples and a baby. Parking was a bit tough with our ford explorer because of a tree not far from the carport, but parking is a struggle everywhere in newport. We put our jeep wrangler in the carport no problem and used it to ferry to the explorer parked a few minutes away when needed. (Parking isn't really needed much- you can walk to the beach, canal / rental boats, grocery store, a variety of restaurants, and Jack's surf shop- what more could you need that amazon can't deliver?)

Great Place. Great Location.
Been coming to Newport all my life. This place exceeded expectations. Responsive manager. Clean and well maintained. Nicer than the pictures. Beds were comfortable, linens in good shape (that is a regular problem with rentals in the area). Had one issue with an appliance but was resolved quickly.
Good central location, though renters next door were less than courteous (just bad luck, nothing the owner can do about that). Parking is a pain, the carport was a must. Fit our Expedition Max but just barely. Anything larger would not fit.
Really nothing to complain about. We have 5 kids from 5 to 16 years old. Stayed in more than a dozen places on the Peninsula and this is the first time I've seriously considered re-booking the same place.

Perfect Spot On The Peninsula and Walking Distance to Everything!
The best location! We went back and forth from the house to the beach all day. Walking distance to Lido Village, the pier, and all other popular restaurants/bars in Newport. The place was very clean and check in/check out process was seamless. We enjoyed the outside patio, access to washer and dryer, beach towels and toys, and the open kitchen/living room area. Overall, we had a great experience and highly recommend this place!

Fun Stay in Newport
We stayed for 4 nights and had a great time. The house met our needs as a family of 6 with 4 teenage and early 20's kids. The location was a lot of fun. Quick walking distance to the beach, Newport Pier, Lido, stores and restaurants. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. Beds were comfortable.
Only downsides: parking more than one car is a bit challenging in the busy summer months, so that takes a bit of effort, but not impossible. Patio area had not been cleaned when we arrived, so took a bit to just get that ready to use. Perhaps the owner just needs to tell cleaning staff to cover that area, because the inside was clean when we arrived.
Overall, great stay and would recommend.

Wonderful home
We loved our stay! The house was wonderful and presented as described.
The layout had the bedrooms on the second floor (shifted towards the back of the property) with the family room and kitchen on the first. This layout made the property quiet for those wanting to sleep earlier than others wanting to stay up later. Street parking was on the other side of the street where the property sits allowing the outdoor patio area open and not crowded with cars. We were able to park our vehicle in the space provided with the property which was nice. The location was convenient to shopping or the beach ~ a 5 min walk.
Towels and other basic items (TP, trash bags, shampoo) were provided. Master bed was very comfortable. Suggest a few more pots and baking dishes.
Alex was a great host and responded quickly ~ faster than most property managers in the area when initially inquiring. We were in the area for my daughter's post-surgery recovery. Even under the unusual circumstances, we had a great time. I recommend this property!

We had a great experience
The property is beautiful and well kept. The description of the home is accurate. The short walk to the beach was perfect. Don't forget to watch the sunset on the sand. It was very special. We went during a very unexpected but very hot heat wave. The downstairs and master bedroom stayed very cool. The secondary bedrooms were a bit warm. If it was not so hot outside - this would not have been an issue. The property is very comfortable and the kitchen was nicely stocked. The beds were comfortable and the rooms very nicely decorated. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend the property.

Great location for the beach
The property was ideally located, one block from the beach and close to the local supermarket.
Newport Beach was a great place to spend the last few days of our trip around California, relaxing with that “Californian beach” vibe
Great BBQ to use when we arrived home in the evening
Could have done with some wine glasses and a kettle at the property although we coped with the microwave and other glasses at the property. There wasn’t any beach towels as advised but we had our own so no problem.
On the last day the next residents arrived before we checked out and before the cleaners had been in, which was strange, but as we were close to leaving and they were quite relaxed it didn’t really cause a problem, not sure how this happened but could have been awkward
Overall though a great property and location

Newport stay
The location of this property was excellent. It was close to restaurants, shops and especially the beach. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the house left much to be desired. I truly dislike writing less than positive reviews, and I'm hoping that they were just not aware of the state of the rental. The floors were sandy and grimy (this was before we visited the beach), the bathroom mats were questionable and one of the bedroom fans was covered in inches of dust. But the worst thing to discover as we were checking under beds getting ready to leave, was a face mask, empty beer bottle, and I guess we should be thankful someone used "protection" but for heavens sakes clean up after yourselves! We are still dealing with pandemic issues, and this really is not acceptable. Hopefully they will reevaluate the cleaning service they use, and others will not have these same problems.
