The Starfish cottage is so cute. The location is one block from beach and within walking distance to shopping and restaurants. This has to be one of the cleanest VRBOs I have rented. The street is rather busy as it is a straight shot to a public beach access but it did not disrupt our stay. We enjoyed having morning coffee on front porch and watching people. The half front door was unique as the weather was perfect for open windows. We appreciated Holly’s communication and generosity. We will definitely consider staying here in the future.
Starfish is like our second Home, we enjoid every Minute of our vacation in Newport thanks Holly
We have stayed in Newport every August for the last 6 years and this is the best place yet! Immaculate. Close to beach. Excellent owners. Highly recommend!
Our stay at the Starfish Cottage was fantastic. The Cottage has upgraded kitchen and bathroom. The location was amazing with everything you could want within easy walking distance. We plan to stay there again next summer! I highly recommend the Starfish Cottage.
Exactly as described, very charming and comfortable. Great amenities, super close to restaurants, shopping and the beach. Communication with host was super fantastic! Will definitely stay again.
House was as advertised, clean, very cute! Manager was great too, easy ck in. Would definitely come back!!
We loved the cottage! Holly met us upon arrival and gave us some tips. The cottage was perfectly clean and had thoughtful touches including both coffee and tea, to go cups, pens and the like. We loved the location so close to the beach, grocery store and restaurants. We hope to return again soon!
Holly and Drew were great hosts. The Starfish cottage is very charming and lovely. The cottage is in walking distance to the beach, restaurants, shops and grocery store. My family and I had an amazing trip,
Our family of four enjoyed a week at Starfish cottage. The cottage was stocked with more than we expected. Very comfortable and convenient. Short walk to the beach, easy parking, cozy heat.
We had a fabulous time here. Supberb location with convenient access to everything you need. The host was super nice and helpful as well. I'm already looking forward to a future trip back.
Over the past 8 years we have stayed at dozens of VRBO locations across the country. The STARFISH is at the top of the chart. First, the beach-bay location is perfect. Toes in the sand. Lunch on the bay. Off the rails walkability. Second, the actual cottage is very comfortable and amazingly quiet for a Balboa location. Finally, Hollie is an awesome host. No item is overlooked. And she is readily available. This was our second stay and we will be back!
Our stay here was absolutely perfect!! Walking distance to everything, grocery store, restaurants, boardwalk, beach, pier…everything!! Holly was amazing, met us at the front door (even saved a parking space for us!) went through everything about the house and amenities…made sure we were comfortable and all set! Everything we needed was there…even beach chairs towels and an umbrella. There was plenty of parking-which was my biggest concern but it wasn’t ever a problem. The street was clean, safe and everyone was so friendly!! I will absolutely be back very very soon!! 10/10 would definitely recommend ??
What a wonderful cottage! The location was excellent close to restaurants, beach, store, and activities. Holly was an amazing host giving us lots of suggestions of where to go and activities. The cottage was perfect and very charming. We would stay again and highly recommend. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
A lovely cottage conveniently located a block from the beach and a short walk to the pier. It has everything you might need (ziploc bags, extra plug-ins for electronics, etc.). The owner was easy to work with and had really thought of how to make our stay comfortable. We’ll be back!
We spent a perfect week in this lovely, charming, clean and spacious beach cottage. Great location within short walking distance of beach, shops, pier and everything you need. The hosts are warm and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back!
Wonderfull
Starfish Cottage is perfect - the house is just impeccable, and Holly and Drew thought of everything. Quiet neighborhood, close to restaurants, beach, and shopping - so nice to be able to walk everywhere. From the fully stocked kitchen and Keurig, to everything we needed for the beach, to comfy beds, this is one of the best VRBOs we’ve stayed at. Holly and Drew, so nice meeting you - thanks for sharing your home with us - we will be back!
We loved our stay at Starfish Cottage! The house is incredibly well stocked and very clean. You couldn't ask for a better location - a block from the beach and plenty of restaurants, shops and grocery store.
We loved our stay it was great location, good size, very clean and had beach supplies!!
We had a really great stay at Starfish Cottage. The location is perfect, just a short walk down to the beach, as well as to restaurants and a grocery store. Mama D's down the street is some of the best Italian food I've ever had. The beach there is really nice - clean sand and warm water. The cottage was comfortable and came equipped with everything we needed. In addition to the beach, we used it as a base to visit Disneyland, which I think worked out a lot better than the hotels near Disney, and for about the same price. Parking is a little tight but workable, we were always able to park on the street or the public lot at the end of the block - it would've been a little easier had we thought to bring our minivan instead of my giant truck. Hostess Holly was fantastic, and went out of her way to help us out of a jam when we accidentally left some personal items behind at the end of our stay. Highly recommended!
Beautiful cottage with all amenities! Perfect location to walk to beach, bay, shops, restaurants, etc. The hosts are very nice and responsive to any messages / questions, etc. Highly recommended!
Couldn’t ask for a better Newport Beach experience!
loved it. great location :)
We had a wonderful time staying in this cozy beach cottage over spring break. Holly and her husband saved us a parking spot in front of the house which was very helpful over the Easter holiday weekend. We enjoyed going to the beach everyday with our kids and appreciated the overall walkability of the neighborhood with local restaurants and a Pavilions so close by. The cottage itself is so charming and was perfect for our family of 4. We also we were able to make good use out of the grill and loved spending our evenings out on the patio.
My husband and I stayed at Starfish for 4 nights to celebrate our anniversary and it was perfect! From the moment I booked with Holly to the second we left, things were flawless. The location is fabulous… close to everything, we walked or rode bikes everywhere! We will definitely be back :) thank you Holly and Drew for your hospitality!
