Girl’s Trip

Amazing low stress trip. The communication and booking process with the owner was so easy. You had your own access and keyless entry. The place is in a great location….. so close to the beach you can walk in 5 minutes. The Laguna Crest Winery tasting in a must to visit. Go there on Tuesdays and the owner is there with 80s rock and roll music. Don’t miss out on such a great place to stay in Newport. Thanks

Newport stay

House was very nice. Owners were easy to communicate with. Neighbors had remodeling going on which started at 7:30 in the morning during the week which made it hard to sleep in. Overall a very good experience.

Fantastic & Relaxing

This little spot is in the PERFECT location. Close to the actual beach, food & shops, and all roads to either LA proper or San Diego for sightseeing. The space was great for 3 people, and while on the bathroom is small (as anticipated) it was still plenty of room for everyone to relax as needed. Parking was easy to find, being it was a quiet post holiday week, and we all very much enjoyed the quiet neighborhood & great light in the space. Would absolutely stay again!

Fantastic!

We had such a wonderful stay at this property. The location is beyond words (both the beach proximity as well as neighborhood), the condo was clean and comfortable, and we all slept soundly in comfortable beds. We wanted a relaxing beach vacation that also had proximity to Disney as we went there for a day and this area provided the best of both worlds. We would absolutely stay again!

So fun!

This house is very close to a beautiful beach that is excellent for young children. You can also go to the beach across the street and play in the waves. This was a great option when you have Younger and older children. We took the trolley to fun zone!!! Went parasailing for my daughter’s 13th birthday!! What a great trip!

Perfect Newport Beach House

This little beach house is perfectly located, cute, and clean. It had everything we needed to make an easy stay. The beds are super comfortable. Checking in and out couldn’t have been simpler. Street parking in March wasn’t a problem. We hope to book it again sometime!

Perfect getaway and stunning house

We stayed here over Memorial Day for our son's High School Graduation. Price was very affordable. House was so beautiful and perfect for what we needed. The host Cindi was so nice and accommodating. She was very quick to respond when I had questions. The beach was a 1/2 a block away. We had the best time and absolutely loved the property! Definitely will come stay again! Thank you Cindi!

Great family vacation

Property was clean, easy to find, close to the beach. It was so nice to have a kitchen to maintain routine with the kids, close to the beach for mid day rest! But off the main sand strip away from the hussle and noise of bikes, kids, parties etc. we rented bikes to ride to balboa pier, And walked to Newport pier easily. The bay beach and park were perfect for morning coffee, just a block away. Thank you for hosting our family.
