Andrea's place was great! The description is perfect. The house was very clean and very well stocked. Check in & check out was super easy. The beach is just steps away. We had our 2 Labs with us--there's a park just across the street with pet areas. We were in town for a funeral but made the best of it. We'd love to come back later this year--we'll see!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property and would definitely stay here again. We loved that there were bikes we could use, chairs for when we sat on the beach, and we were walking distance to so many great Newport Beach spots. My only very minor complaint was that it was located on Balboa, which can get a little noisy, but it only bothered the upstairs bedroom occupant. We brought ear plugs so it was all good.

A great time at the beach!

Enjoyed the property and all of the amenities. It was perfect for myself, 3 children and my older parents. Especially loved that we had 2 parking spaces as that can be quite tricky in that area. Would love to visit again!

Perfect location if your not looking to be right at the pier but close enough to walk. My kids enjoyed not being in the hustle and bustle of the pier the entire stay. They were able to ride the bikes to and from so it was perfect. My one and only “negative” is if your inviting people to join you for the day at the beach, parking is very limited in this particular area. It’s a neighborhood vibe feel, very homey atmosphere. My kids really enjoyed this area of the water.

Fantastic beach home!

Andrea’s property was cozy, comfortable and an amazing place to vacation. Our family thoroughly enjoyed this beach house and all the included amenities. The bikes, volleyball, beach chairs, sand toys, fully equipped kitchen made it so easy to relax and enjoy our stay. Little touches like water and slippers in each room made it feel extra special. Check in and check out were a breeze. I highly recommend this sweet little beach cottage!

Great Beach Getaway

The beach house was exactly as described and we had a great stay. Super short walk to the beach and plenty of restaurants nearby. There is a nice park across the street if traveling with pets and looking for a place for them to go. Enjoyed sitting out in front with morning coffee and we used the BBQ once for dinner. Thanks for hosting us!

I stayed with my husband and kids (2 adult children and their spouses). We ate out or carried in the whole time as it was easy to walk everywhere. Bikes and boogie boards were great. Front porch table was great for eating take out.
