Just 100 feet away, 9th Street Bay Beach invites effortless days by the water, from swimming to paddleboarding.

Not Bad but a Couple Things

Overall I enjoyed my stay. Prop mgmt is very good keeping guests informed. There are 1 million rules that seem a little excessive but very friendly communication. The wifi was janky the first night but they had it fixed the next day. Location is prime for the price. Bay in front. Short walk to beach/boardwalk and very quiet neighborhood. It does get quite cold at night and there is only a wall heater in the living room. So the bedroom has no heat, a lot of drafty windows and very thin blankets. PM: provide a space heater or a bunch more blankets or both. The bed is also not comfy and the living room couch needs repair or replacement. You do share space with the other part of the house, so be aware. The spiral staircase is pretty gnarly so be somewhat fit going up and down. NB is a beautiful town and if you want something clean and not fancy and will be spending all your time out and about, this place will do. The PM is very responsive.

We definitely felt welcome. Our stay was good and cozy. Everything was clean with basic essentials. Walking distance from the beach was great! But I do recommend a wall AC unit. We had all the windows open and ceiling fans on during the day.

Good location

The place is in a good location. No view as described but the bay and beach are super close. Easy walk. Checking in was difficult and a bit confusing. The lock was super hard to work at times. My husband had to use 2 hands at all times. He’s very fit and there were a couple of times we weren’t sure we’d get in. The Wi-Fi SUCKED!!! We contacted the management group and they tried to fix it to no avail. We could use a couple devises at once in certain areas but still got dropped.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

We booked this house very last minute and for our family of 4 it was a perfect spot. It’s about a 15 minute walk in either direction to get to the main hustle and bustle of Newport and/or Balboa. Very clean, easy checkin and out. I would stay again l! Thanks so much!

Awesome Little Rental with Great Vibes!

Rental was clean, plenty of space for up to 4 people. Location was superb for all beach related activities. Only SMALL complaints I have if you’d even call them complaints is that being at the mercy of street parking was slightly inconvenient but only once or twice (just walk or bike places and save the trouble) and the bed is quite dated and I really believe should be upgraded to a King size. All in all the rest of the experience was superb, so happy we got to stay there!

Perfect stay for Getaway

The home was conveniently located close enough to the beach, yet away from the chaos. The check-in/out process was quick and easy and the staff was awesome to work with. We had no issues with parking. However, I can see that it could be troublesome in the busy season. Overall, a great place to stay!! We will definitely be back!!

Great location, simple amenities and many extra steps

The location is great; however, you do share an important hallway with a door connecting to another property right next to the bedroom and sound carries majorly. We happened to have a multigenerational family with two very upset and loud kids Every morning on the other side of that door, as well as blocking all the walkways with their stuff. There is no dishwasher and unfortunately, despite the fees there is a lot of responsibility before you leave (all the dishes, towels, bedding, trash taken out) and like others have said they really only provide bare necessities. Go get toilet paper and paper towels and toiletries and try not to need an extra towel. Overall it was a good experience, I was able to do the extra things needed to make this space work but didn’t realize ahead of time I was signing up for that. Personally, I really prefer not to have to do so much at the end of a trip. Also, the check in procedure requires driving to the office to show Id and to return keys afterwards. A lot of extra steps with this place.
