Spacious condo steps from the beach with full kitchen - dog-friendly

This was our first year staying in this house and we were pleasantly surprised by the spaciousness of the interior. There was plenty of room to spread out in the main living room, and with four kids running around, it was really nice that the house wasn't overly packed with furniture and knick-knacks, and that the balcony was safe for toddlers. A few extra outdoor counter stools would be nice, as only two are provided. The walls are thick, and you can't hear anything from one side of the house to the other, so that can be both a good and bad thing, depending! The location is fantastic — a couple of blocks away from a good coffee shop and easy bike-riding distance everywhere else. The only negative we experienced was the non-functional coin-operated washing machine. The washer does not wash effectively and the dryer doesn't produce any heat. Washing towels is a basic necessity during a week-long stay so this was disappointing. Customer service did come through with a fresh towel delivery mid-week, so that was helpful and much appreciated. But hoping management can fix — or ideally replace — the ancient machines. Other than that, we'd be happy to stay here again. Newport Beach is truly the best!

We loved the location, but parking was a problem. The original listing said 1 parking spot in garage, 1 parking spot in carport. However, the only parking spot available was the carport and street parking if you could find it. It was a great place but things could use a little sprucing up. We would consider using again if parking was better. I loved that it was very close to the beach and the evenings with the windows open and the fans, it was great sleeping weather. Thank-you!

We recently rented this place (7/21-7/27), and here’s the review Vacasa (property mgmt company) insisted we post. Positives- When we arrived the place was very clean (except the filthy laundry room that is on the lower level). Negatives- After checking in, we get a text from Vacasa stating the dishwasher is broke, & will be replaced on Monday. We arrived on Friday, so we would be w/out a dishwasher for 3-3.5 days of our 7 day stay. When I went to turn the grill on (after buying a bunch of steaks at the grocery store), I noticed the grill regulator was disconnected from the propane tank. Screwed it onto the tank, opened the valve on the tank, and immediately heard and smelled the propane gas coming out of the grill regulator. I texted Vacasa immediately, as well as told the guys replacing the dishwasher on Monday about it. Also, asked that it be fixed while we were there, and Vacasa said it would be.It never was fixed… Then, only 2 of the 5 burners on stove are working. The 2 burners were the smallest of the 5 (we couldn’t even get a large pot of water to boil for pasta) Again, text with Vacasa, about this and they said it will be fixed. Never was. Laundry room was absolutely filthy and as other posts mentioned, coin operated machines.. Vacasa just made promises everything would get fixed, but nothing was. Couldn’t cook anything during our stay, dishwasher was broke half the time, and Vacasa just texted promises but no fixes. there are better options in Newport…

The Washer, the dish washer and the bbq grill were not working. Vacasa did not come to fix then. In spite of us staying there 7 days and asking daily. They are not responsable hosts.

Great location, steps from the beach. Plenty of room for my party of 7. Had issues with Microwave and Coffee Maker, but property manager was quick to respond and remedied the issue quickly. Only criticism would be the laundry area. The machines were Filthy and coin operated. No one carries coins anymore. Thankfully we were only staying the weekend and laundry was not a necessity. Overall, it was a nice place to stay and I would recommend it.

We enjoyed our stay during Christmas. Was very clean when we arrived. Only a couple of very minor things that would not prevent me from staying again: The couch cushions were torn and had noticeable holes in them. Really should just go in the garbage. They used the cheapest toilet paper offered. With 5 people in the house we ran out within 2 days and had to purchase our own. For the money you spend on this rental please get better toilet paper. As I mentioned these are minor issues and I would stay there again but just remember to bring my own toilet paper. lol!

The dryer at our stay didn’t work and they didn’t leave extra sheets. 0 help from vacasa or the manager. Also, who charges for a washer and dryer on an expensive beach property like this?

This property was professionally cleaned, well stocked on all the towels, and had so much space! Even more than I thought they would. We easily were able to fit a pack and play in with our queen bed for our baby. And it was so nice for my kids to have their own bedroom for sleeping. We will stay here again next year! The appliances and cabinets were updated. Easy check in and checkout. And the beach was literally steps away! Game. Changer!

Great place and property. Literal 1 minute walk to beach. Beds just OK, pillows just Ok, cheap. When they say fans in every room is doesn’t mean ceiling fans it means old rusted dirty box fans. Also there is no AC. I we thought no matter it’s 65 degrees. No it’s still very warm at night. No screen on the main patio door really needs one. I have seen this complaint from several others. It needs to be addressed. Also some personal touches would be nice like body boards, surfboards, bicycles. Other than these things. It was a great location and a safe place that I would book again. But it just doesn’t have attention to detail.

Location so close to the beach, very convenient
