Newport relaxation

My wife and I scheduled a four day stay at this lovely house. It was very clean and comfortable and a one minute walk to the sandy beach. Close to restaurants and easy access off of PCH. We had such a great time that we extent our stay an additional 2 days! That was an easy thing to do! Please consider this place if you want a wonderful beach experience!

Perfect Sisters Get Away

My sister and I had a fantastic time. The property has a Large kitchen and living room space. The beds are comfortable and there were many pillow options. The only heater is in the main living area and the house got pretty cold at night. It would have been nice if there was salt and pepper or a few cooking essentials. But overall my sister and I loved our time at the property and will definitely book this location again.

This was a great stay. Very very close to the beach, friendly people. A bit noisy when you leave the windows open, due to being on the side of a road and close to a highway. Only negative would be the mattresses are not that comfortable overall this is a great little place!

short holiday at the beach

It was what we expected of a 1950's vintage cottage. Was great location to park the car and get around on bikes. Definitely recommend renting the bikes as they will be there when you arrive and picked up when you leave.

Great Beach House

This house is perfect for your beach stay. Just steps away from the beach and very central to everything else around Newport Beach and just 6 min drive to Huntington Beach. Balboa Bay has amazing restaurants and a perfect spot to launch paddle boards at Newport Dunes. Our Ram 1500 with a Hitch Thule Locker fit in the parking space and that was very convenient as parking is very limited. The house does not have a yard or a garage but the beach just steps away is yours for the taking! We would stay here again for sure.

It was a nice mental health get away with fun little barrels out front Sunday morning

The property was the quintessential beach house. It was clean and simple. The only recommendation would be to add on a simple outside shower off the water spicket by the parking to rinse off other than that completely satisfied. Thank you
