Perfect Beach Getaway!

Our family of five absolutely loved our stay at Anne's property. The panoramic beach view alone was worth the price! Loved being close to many restaurants as well as the beach, but still found it to be relatively quiet and and peaceful at night. The home was fully stocked and we appreciated the little touches like dimmer switches on the lights and the availability of beach toys. We definitely hope to return!

Loved Every Minute of our California Beach Vacation!

We had an amazing week at this fabulous, beach front property! The views were breathtaking, the nightly bonfires on the beach will be treasured memories as will the breathtaking sunsets, ocean waves, bike and ferry rides, “cronuts” and street tacos!! Thank you Ann for being an amazing, responsive and generous host! We can’t wait for our next trip to Newport.

Best friends

4 friends that went to high school together 52 years ago. We walked Balboa Island and to the ferry which we took to Catalina Island on a different day. We had so much fun! The beds were really comfortable and so nice to have an extra sink in one of the rooms. We even handled the stairs really well for 72 year old ladies! Beautiful beach view!!

Wonderful Beach Vacation

This property is right on the beach and very convenient to everything Newport Beach has to offer. We rented bikes, stayed for hours on the beach, and even enjoyed a bonfire right next to the Pacific Ocean. The rental is exactly as described. The kitchen is fully stocked which allowed us to do a few meals and avoid eating every meal out. I highly recommend this rental unit.

Great experience......

Clean accommodations, responsive staff and absolutely beautiful area. The only "problem" was the stairs due to age of guests. That was of my own doing and we chose the upstairs unit. I would definitely stay here again, just in the downstairs unit. Thank you for the fabulous vacation.

In the Heart of Balboa

If you're going to California, you might as well stay at the beach! Parking, especially for a beach house, wasn't as bad as you might think, but we only had the one mini-van to park. House was a bit warm our first night, but then we discovered the attic fan, which helped quite a bit.

Perfect beach location

We came here with our exchange student from Pakistan. This cute beach house has a location that can’t be beat! You are literally across from the ocean and directly on the bike path that goes thru Newport. The views are amazing! The beds were super comfy. We stayed in upstairs unit so no little outside area to hang out in, but it was no problem for us. If you are looking for a fun relaxing Newport beach house, look no further. We would definitely stay again. Much better than a hotel.

A little underwhelming

Location was wonderful. So is the host family. Unfortunately, the place is a bit rundown. We’re having a hard time opening and closing the windows and the shades were falling apart. Also the beach toys and chairs that were mentioned are all rusty. I didn’t even feel comfortable, touching any of them because it looked quite dangerous. Which that let us down a bit we were really relying on those for our trip. Also taking consideration there is no laundry detergent for the washer and dryer. Maybe I was spoiled with other houses that I’ve rented but there’s always been things like coffee creamer and detergent for us to use, but this house didn’t have those extras. aside from that it was a good house.
