Oceanfront Beauty: Best Views in Newport Beach

The property is beautiful. Right on the boardwalk with amazing views. Very clean. 2 issues though.. the bathroom is super tiny. You have to step into the shower to be able to open the door. Not a deal breaker but definitely an inconvenience. The other issue is the room that is attached to the property but not used by us. It is basically another bedroom door. There is a big hook lock that we keep locked on this side BUT you can hear the person in there watching tv to all hours of the night. It did make me uncomfortable because it was just my daughter and I. Overall, it was a great location and a beautiful place to spend a few days by the beach.

The view from the terrace is exactly as shown and very nice. The floor-to-ceiling doors disappear entirely making it a large living space when you can have them open. Like other reviewers have noted, the bathroom is a challenge to use because the door opens inward and barely clears the sink vanity, and shower to the right, making it very awkward to use. This could be easily fixed by simply reworking the door to open outward as there is plenty of room to accommodate that. The high-end appliances are certainly nice but completely unnecessary for a rental and make the kitchen less useful. I wouldn't put appliances that large in such a small space even if I lived there (and could afford the overpriced brand). Overall though it is quite nice for a couple for a few nights. The area is quiet and you are just 4' from the sand.

Good morning, My partner and I had a challenging time with our stay. The rental company required extensive information about our car, our stay, and personal information which was provided months in advance. Two days prior I was supposed to receive check in information and when I emailed they sent me a verification of my drivers license that I had to submit. Once I received the instructions to get into the property I was reminded that parking was not permitted. And that the keys were in a lockbox three feet away from the house. Once in the space we were greeted by the owner who decided to give us a tour of the space. He left and we realized that there as another room on the same floor as us that was locked. Later that evening getting ready for bed, we heard someone cough behind that door and saw a light go on. We were uncomfortable the rest of our stay. We ended up only stay until Friday morning because of our discomfort of having someone else in the same space and we were not aware of that when we booked it, which was not cheap. I had to put a $1000 deposit and inquired when I would get that back and the response I received was, once everything is checked and no damage was done. I've used vrbo for years, and unfortunately this was by far the worst experience we've had.

Highly recommended. Super high quality open air build. Hosts are fantastic. Location is ideal. View is better than photographs reveal.

My daughter and I came out for a 5 day stay and it was great. The location is perfect and the indoor/outdoor deck was perfect! We will definitely be back.

Great little place on the boardwalk. There is a secure gate if you have bikes and a blowup mattress for kids if needed. Can't wait for next summer, thank you!

Just the right amount of space for two people! Our three week stay was wonderful; relaxing on the spacious deck sipping cocktails and eating dinner while watching the beautiful sunset. We were right on the boardwalk minutes away from restaurants, bars, shopping and a minimart right around the corner. The owner and his son live right below and are very lovely people who made us feel so welcome and so helpful with all sorts of tips on things to do and places to go! My favorite part of the stay here was there are two bicycles available which we took full advantage of biking all over Newport! We would definitely stay here again!!

Spent a few days at this property around the Fourth of July and had a wonderful time! Had everything we needed for our stay there and Joe the owner was so kind and checked on us whenever we came by. Really nice area and right on the boardwalk! Everything was super clean and we absolutely LOVED the indoor/outdoor living space. The fridge was HUGE which made it easier for us to make home cooked meals, although it is right near lots of great restaurants. Overall, I highly recommend this booking this location for as long as you can!

This place was amazing. Right on the beach. The patio with the sliding doors was very cool. We met Joe the owner who lives downstairs. Very nice. Loved listening to the waves while we slept. Would def stay here again.

We enjoyed the weather and Newport Beach area. The title of the listing was newly renovated but I’m not sure how newly it really was. The pictures are deceptive. The bathroom is so small you must step into the shower to close the door. No shower door, so, water all over the floor after showering, no room for a mat, door is in the way plus it would be soaked. I would have to wipe up the water after each shower. Slipping on a wet floor was worrisome. Bedroom is also very small. Outdoor area is beautiful but not user friendly. Can’t be used in the morning because of marine fog, too damp, can’t use in the afternoon, too much sun. Privacy is an issue, too. Outdoor shade is nice but there are no inside shades or drapes for privacy. When lights are on, after dark, you can see right into the living space. Over all, we enjoyed our stay but will not be returning to this unit.
