This place is covered with ants! The kitchen, the master bath, all the floors, even the bed in the master! I have never been so freaked out. It's the perfect location, but not worth it.

A little Street noise otherwise everything was great

House is great. It has all the kitchen necessities and amenities. Kids rode bikes and used the boogie boards. The house had everything! Wonderful experience!

Great location to beach and having the park right across the street for my boys to play basketball and to take my dog was so convenient. The house has everything you could need to enjoy a day at the beach. Highly recommend.

Beautiful property , close to everything but tucked in a way that feels private. Listing as described. Wonderful hosts, very responsive. We will be back!

Great location and property. The owner was very responsive. Would book here again for sure.

Perfect location. A very clean house which is super cozy. Garage with toys and bikes which were very useful during our stay. We really enjoyed our time and hope to be back.

Location, location! Very comfortable place, close to beach, boardwalk. Well stocked garage with equipment needed for beach. The area we were is very friendly & happy people. We enjoyed the stay.

Andrea's place was great! The description is perfect. The house was very clean and very well stocked. Check in & check out was super easy. The beach is just steps away. We had our 2 Labs with us--there's a park just across the street with pet areas. We were in town for a funeral but made the best of it. We'd love to come back later this year--we'll see!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property and would definitely stay here again. We loved that there were bikes we could use, chairs for when we sat on the beach, and we were walking distance to so many great Newport Beach spots. My only very minor complaint was that it was located on Balboa, which can get a little noisy, but it only bothered the upstairs bedroom occupant. We brought ear plugs so it was all good.

A few inexpensive updates would make this p

Perfect location

The location was perfect! There was a dog area right across the street. The beach was just steps away. We had 5 people in our group. It was the perfect size. Having bikes and chairs available was super convenient. Communication was outstanding. Check in process was simple. We will definitely be staying here again.

We enjoyed our stay. The host provided several bikes which were very convenient to get around the area. The location is very close to the beach. The bed in the master bedroom is really comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this house!

Perfect location if your not looking to be right at the pier but close enough to walk. My kids enjoyed not being in the hustle and bustle of the pier the entire stay. They were able to ride the bikes to and from so it was perfect. My one and only “negative” is if your inviting people to join you for the day at the beach, parking is very limited in this particular area. It’s a neighborhood vibe feel, very homey atmosphere. My kids really enjoyed this area of the water.

Excellent stay!

Nice property but very difficult and somewhat unfriendly parking issue.

It was awesome to have a garage full of bikes and beach equipment so we didn’t have to rent/buy anything. Used them every day.

We had a fantastic experience at this charming Newport Beach rental. The location truly can’t be beat—just a 1-minute walk to the beach, which made everything from morning coffee strolls to sunset walks super easy. It’s also a perfect spot for dogs, with plenty of walking space and a dog-friendly vibe throughout the neighborhood.The house was cozy but well laid out, and it fit our group of 6 comfortably. The host, Andrea, was incredibly responsive—she messaged back quickly every time we had a question, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free.One of the biggest perks was the awesome selection of bikes and beach gear available for us to use. It made exploring the area and enjoying the sand so much easier and more fun.The parking situation is okay, but worth noting—there are 2 spaces, though they’re tight. A midsize SUV is about as large as you’d want to go. Still, having parking at all that close to the beach is a big win.All in all, this is a great little place in a perfect location with everything you need for a relaxing beach getaway. Highly recommended!

Rather you’re doing a family trip, girls/guys trip, adult only trip, this house will not disappoint! We loved the location…accommodates everyone. Our family with kids ages ranging from 12-29 were greatly pleased with the basketball court across the street, the proximity of the beach (so close), restaurants/bars/shopping all within walking distance, beautiful neighborhood for long walks, and the cherry on top were 6 bikes that could accommodate our family of 6. The house was very clean, the beds were comfortable, and the linens were clean and fresh. Beach toys, chairs, towels all provided along with special touches all around the house…soaps, detergent, coffe creamer, extra blankets, games, and a personal list of favorite restaurants and fun things to do. We were so impressed and will definitely book this house again!!!

Fantastic listing and location. Already booked another stay!

The property is exactly as pictured online. It is one block from the beach. The beds were really comfortable, and the sofa was great for hanging out with family. Andrea is a great host and was willing to help ensure our stay was excellent. The light over the dining room did not work and the coffee maker did not work. I brought it to Andrea's attention right away and she was willing to send someone over to replace the light bulb and even ordered a new coffee maker, which was delivered the next day. However, we had already bought instant coffee and we didn't want anyone to fix the light while we were there.The only minor inconvenience is that the living area and kitchen were less roomy than other places we've rented. The kitchen was galley style, but there was a nice breakfast nook where six people could comfortably fit. The pictures online do paint an accurate picture. Being so close to the beach, we didn't stay indoors much anyways. My only suggestion would be to get umbrellas for the outdoor patio seating, and from a pure aesthetic perspective, update the kitchen and upstairs bathroom at some point. However, everything was clean and as pictured. Parking in the garage was too tight for our Honda Odyssey minivan, but we were able to park on the street pretty easily. What's also great about the property is that Andrea has bikes that you can use to explore the boardwalk area. It was one of the highlights of our trips we would definitely come back and stay again.

The neighborhood is very nice and quiet in the evenings. The house was in great condition and in a wonderful spot. The beach is a short walk from the house and there are plenty of things to do in the area.

Pros: Amazing location! Great walking distance to the beach. The bikes and boogie boards were a kind addition and we used them daily. The host was quick to reply and pleasant to communicate with. Cons: If you’re looking for a peaceful, quiet, and relaxing vacation spot you won’t find it here as the primary bedroom is right on the main busy road with loud traffic all night long! The whole house could use a good deep clean including the BBQ. The lights were very dim and dirty. Some light bulbs were out. The rugs were filthy. Also, a refrigerator with a water and ice dispenser would be beneficial to guests to save on plastic water bottles. The plastic cups in the kitchen were cracked and leaked.

Andrea’s property was cozy, comfortable and an amazing place to vacation. Our family thoroughly enjoyed this beach house and all the included amenities. The bikes, volleyball, beach chairs, sand toys, fully equipped kitchen made it so easy to relax and enjoy our stay. Little touches like water and slippers in each room made it feel extra special. Check in and check out were a breeze. I highly recommend this sweet little beach cottage!

We had to find a place quickly and with a dog we weren’t sure there would be anything available and if so, we thought it would probably be gross. It was wonderful to walk in and find things well kept and provided lots of amenities. Andrea was super helpful and communicated well with all my questions and left good instructions for when we arrived. Recommend this listing.

Unfortunately, we only had a few days to enjoy this cute little bungalow. Most of our time was spent doing parent events at our son’s college, but we were able to enjoy the beach for a couple of hours for a couple of days. The location to the beach is fantastic, and bikes and chairs are provided. We didn’t have time to use the bikes, but we totally would have appreciated that amenity if time allowed. The house is definitely on a busy road, but it didn’t take away from our enjoyment. My only critique is it would be nice to offer some taller beach chairs. If you’re looking for a great location, clean home, and great amenities, this rental is it!

Great home Great neighborhood Great listing Good times

Wonderful stay at this well appointed and maintained rental. So close to beach, park and restaurants. All the beach amenities you need plus getting around on the bikes was so convenient! Just was responsive and helpful, and made our stay more relaxing and enjoyable. Can’t wait to come back

We loved staying here. The location is great - so close to the beach! The decor is beautiful and the extra touches made us feel welcome and at home. We hope to come back!

We absolutely loved our stay at Andrea’s place, everything was as described. The beds were comfortable, the location was perfect, and we had everything we needed to cook. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely stay again!

My sons and I visited Newport Beach for the first time, and this house could not have been any more perfect for us. It's within walking distance of everything, is super comfortable, and has everything you could ever need. The only thing I'll say, and this is for future renters, if you're hot natured, you may get a little warm downstairs. The upstairs has a portable air conditioner that worked great! But downstairs, even with all the fans running, and outside temps neber getting above 75, it still got a little warm. But like I said, we're all hot natured, and from the south where we use AC all the time, so that's what we're used to. Haha definitely not a deterrent from staying bere though!

This was a lot of fun and place is really cute and so close to the beach!

Everything as advertised. All the previous reviews are spot on! Price was nice for the location - walk to the beach was so close. Very clean, and had all the amenities we needed. Most importantly is how incredibly quick the responses were. Thanks Andrea, best host I have ever worked with. Thank you!

We had a great stay here! Our group had some very specific needs -- dog-friendly, parking for two midsize cars, 3 full bedrooms for 6 people -- and this met all of them, with the added benefit of everything we needed for a beach trip (chairs, umbrellas, towels, and bikes). It was worth the tradeoff of walking a block and a half to the beach to save a little bit of money on the pricey beachfront properties too. We had to do a little bit of cleaning in the refrigerator/freezer, and there was a leak in the dishwasher that unfortunately meant we had to hand wash dishes, but the host was apologetic, communicative and gave us options to help us work it out, so in the end, I considered it a minor inconvenience. The property is on a main road, so you do have to deal with some street noise, but we knew that when booking. Overall, it was as advertised, which is oftentimes a rarity! Staying here is a great way to spend a week.
