Fabulous in every way. We were a small group of sorority sisters from 55 years ago and we had so much fun!

Plenty of room, plenty of quiet
Semi annual trip with friends. Location makes it easy to walk to shops, ferry to beach & pier, and local restaurants. Newport Beach Vacations was super about keeping us up to date on responsibilities without it feeling like a burden. They helped make it a better vacation.
