This was such a cute home close to everything , lots of beach equipment provided which was nice. It is comfortable for a small family and it was great to have designated parking ! It was well appointed and very clean. I would say maybe add a pizza cutter, fly swatter and a dust pan. Great stay overall.

Great Cottage

The house is clean, well equipped with remodeled kitchen and bath. The space is just right for eating and visiting during the day. The location is close to the beach, close to a grocery store and restaurants are walkable distance. The off street parking in the rear garage is a real plus.

Great location, nice house.

My friend and i were in the area for a week of golfing. The location is great. We walked to the beach and several really good restaurants in the area. The house is charming and clean. Pay attention to the listing about the size of the garage. It is a small garage, and parking on the street is taking a chance.

Great experience

We had nothing but good things to say about our stay, except rain (which they can't be held accountable for). The place is exactly as advertised and communication with the property manager was superb. We would go again when the weather is a little warmer.

Great Little Cottage

Nice cottage with front porch, upgraded kitchen and bath. Good location. 1 1/2 blocks from the beach and a block from a grocery store. If you have read the comments about parking in the area the garage space is really nice to have. Clean house, good comms from manager and easy check in check out.

Wonderful delight

Cozy, comfortable, clean and tastefully decorated, fully equipped! Bikes, boogie boards, beach chairs, washer/dryer etc.....breezy fresh air! Beach and grocery store just steps away. Owners were great! Visit Bluewater Grill along with Sanchos Tacos and of course Charlie's Chili for breakfast.

This cottage has magic and an ideal location

I would buy this cottage in a heartbeat if it was in my budget and for sale. I was there nine days and did not want to leave. It has everything I want in beauty and comfort. There is seating for seven inside and out so my family could visit with us before we went out to eat. I slept well and we loved the easy, chef's kitchen. The cottage manager had soft music playing and chocolate cupcakes out and other food and beverage items in the frig. I felt so welcome after a long, rainy day of travel.

Great Stay in Charming Newport Beach Cottage

We enjoyed our stay in the cottage. Communication with the host was great. All questions answered quickly. Everything was accurately described. Beds were fantastic! The living area was comfortable with an awesome recliner. Kitchen has everything you need & it was a bonus to find a pantry with staples such as spices & oils. Great water pressure in the shower. Love the outdoor front patio. Perfect for morning/afternoon sun if the beach is too windy. Location was perfect. Grocery store was a 3 minute walk. Beach 7 minutes and the Pier about 12. Having access to 4 bikes was a plus. However, they do need a little TLC. Garage was tight, but our mid-size car just fit. You definitely need a garage in Newport, especially on the weekends & during summer. Tons of beach amenities including chairs, umbrellas, toys. We didn't use them, but good to know they are there if needed. Overall the neighborhood was quiet, but a little bit of weekend noise. Our group of 4 would definitely stay in the cottage again. Thank you Linda! We will return on our next visit to Newport.

Sweet Beach Cottage

Thank you for sharing your property with us. We come to Orange County 4-5 times a year to visit our daughter. We enjoy staying at a property instead of hotel. This property by far was our favorite. Walking distance to the bay, cafes, restaurants, grocery store, and beach. The beds were very comfortable, water pressure was wonderful, and kitchen was fabulous. It really felt like home. The neighbors were very friendly as well. A heads up for visitors who don't know the area, parking is very limited. The garage is for a medium sized SUV. A large sized is very tight getting in and out.

We loved the location of the cottage, a short walk to the beach and to a food market. Living space was good/comfortable. Kitchen appliances worked well. We enjoyed the front outdoor area. And having a washer/dryer (in the garage) was very helpful.
