Perfect location-hosts were great-house had everything and was just as pictured- had a wonderful time and appreciate the use of the bikes & beach stuff- would definitely book again.
Loved this home. From the time we arrived to the day we left, we found this home to be a great getaway for our family. The home was extremely clean and when we contacted the owner Dana, she was quick with a response. We had a wonderful stay and look forward to staying at this home again in the future.
Beautiful home stocked with everything you need! The location is beyond amazing-steps away from the beach. Great patio for hanging out on. We couldn’t have been happier! The owners are really great and easy to communicate with. Loved the home, loved Newport! 5 stars!!
This property was perfect for our family VK, the house is well stocked, clean and in a great location. We loved having the bikes and beach equipment for our use. Dana was super great to work with. Very accommodating. Being a local and having rented many properties in Newport to date this has been our best experience!
We couldn’t have ask for anything more. Everything was just as advertised. The location to the beach, comfort of the house, bikes and beach gear were a bit plus! Thank you for letting us enjoy your great place! We’ll be back.
The location of this cute beach house is perfect. Close to coffee and food. And steps from the beach. We loved this house so much. There was plenty of space for our big teenage boys and my husband and I. Beach chairs, boogie boards and bikes that were provided made for a lot of beach fun and family activity. Everything was just easy and enjoyable. It was hard to leave.
Jim and Dana's place was the perfect location for celebrating our son's college graduation. It's a great location near the beach and the accommodations were wonderful. We enjoyed the large common area which was great for hanging out, playing games and catching up. Having the bedrooms and bathrooms down a separate hallway gave everyone enough space to enjoy together time and alone time. We cooked most of our meals and found everything we needed to prepare then. We took advantage of the grill and enjoyed eating on the patio. Dana and Jim were very responsive to our questions. We would definitely stay here again.
The location was great. The ants were quite annoying along with the people who rented the place above us. Garage space is an issue. Two standard cars will have trouble getting into and out of the garage - between cars requires your BMI <23. SUVs, regardless of size, will NOT fit. Lots of other cars and trash cans from the neighbors take up a lot of the open space. If you are planning to have a car this will be an ongoing issue. The house had limited supplies and of you love nice towels bring your own. If you are 5'4 or shorter, the showers will be enjoyable. Tall people need to bend over....just crazy. On rainy days, water does come in the front doors you see in the picture so do leave anything cloth on the floor.. This is not a 5 star rental.
Our family was looking forward to our stay in this property. From the initial check in process, we had to drive to the property management place to sign paper work and then get told they will text us codes to get in. We were also told a compact car is recommended, when we are a family of 6 driving from Arizona that is just not a possible task. The property has an upstairs unit and downstairs unit (A) where we stayed. Its apparent that parking is impossible anywhere near the property so we drive around to the back where the garage is located and the people in UNIT B have a vehicle in there already. Theres approximately 10 beach cruisers in the garage so a second vehicle for the opposite unit is impossible. We were let driving around aimlessly looking for a parking spot anytime we left anywhere. The unit we stayed in had a lot of issues, lets begin with ants that were all over the living room and kitchen. By the end of our stay they were in bathrooms and every room. The bedrooms with the bigger beds had very uncomfortable mattresses, they were beyond firm with headboards that are not attached to the beds so you are left sticking towels behind them to avoid all the noise. Both bathrooms had clogged drains in the bathtub, we were left with only 1 toilet paper roll, and we didn't have enough towels to last for the week. By our last night, the garage was available to park as the new tenants that arrived a day before left so we finally parked our SUV in the garage. The people upstairs arrived at 10pm that night and we receive a phone call from the on call property manager whom stated the tenant upstairs wanted a space in the garage. Mind you this is the only time we had the opportunity to park in the garage. I explained to the guy that there are over 10 bikes there so another car was impossible. He threaten to evict us or tow our car if we didn't move it. My husband and I agreed that we will move our vehicle to the sport that is on our contract and we would leave the bikes on the other side so the other tenant can decide to take liability of moving those bikes. We had the cops called on us, the other tenant moved all the bikes outside and left them there so she can park her vehicle inside. We woke up to find a dent on our car door but left at 5am that morning and didn't want to deal with the hassle.
We will never come back to this property.
Perfect for family of 6 plus 2 children. We enjoyed the ample space to spend time together plus private space for down time. The outdoor patio was a favorite gathering place to enjoy the sunshine and ocean air. The beach is so close and we all walked over to see the stunning sunset each day. The bikes and beach toys were perfect for us to enjoy. Great bike rides along the bike path. Close to freeway access for our Disneyland fun! We plan to visit this house again as a favorite stay!
Lovely property a block-and-a-half from the beach. Great out door and indoor dining areas - and a nice living room area adjacent. Great for a small reunion. Dana was very helpful and kind. I hope to return someday.
Everything about this place was great! Owners so quick to respond and very friendly! Clean and many amenities provided. Also everything you need for the beach is provided. Literally a two minute easy walk access to the beach walk. Would definitely return and highly recommend!
We love this property. It is perfect for our family. It has a great front porch to store bikes and eat outside. It is close to the beach and our favorite doughnuts and smoothies!!
Dana was so helpful!! Can't wait until next year.
We stayed with our two daughters, their husbands and two of our granddaughters. There was plenty of space for the 8 of us. The place was very clean and with close proximity to the beach. We loved taking the bikes to grab some cronuts or tacos on a regular basis. There was an issue with the microwave on the first day, but Dana quickly had a replacement delivered for us. We will definitely stay here again.
Such a beautiful spot with great beach proximity, comfortable beds, and a really nice patio for a bbq! Our highlight was definitely being able to use the bikes for a coastal morning ride! This was the perfect place to celebrate our daughter’s college graduation as a family!
We rented out both levels of this beautiful, perfect for our family, beach house! Close to all..especially a donut shop we found to be irresistible! Thanks for the fun memories Dana & Jim!
The location, cleanliness and response times were great. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a beach vacation with easy access to I-5, lots of restaurants and Newport Harbor.
Great location and very nice host. Parking is a bit of a problem so if you can limit yourself to one or no cars you are better off! Overall great vacation!
We had a great time with our daughters and their friends! This house was perfect . Great location and everything we needed! Would definitely stay here again!!
We had an absolutely wonderful time at this place with our 4 children ages 9-16. We slept well, plenty of space, we cooked every meal and about 60 steps to sand . Perfect!
Thank you Dana & Jim! We will be back!
This house was perfect for our post-Christmas visit to see our family in Costa Mesa. The house was clean, spacious and in an amazing location. We loved the front porch (plenty of room to social distance and visit with family) and just a block from the beach. We had several great runs along the boardwalk, watched the sunset and enjoyed the fireplace at night. The kitchen was well stocked, the bedrooms were comfy and it was so clean! We will definitely come back again! -
