AWESOME place to stay. The rental was well stocked with everything you need. The kitchen has plenty of dishes, pots and pans, bakeware, and outdoor dishes for the patio with bar-b-que utensils.The house is well appointed with comfortable furniture and decor throughout. No need to worry about parking because you have one parking place in the garage and a washer and dryer, too.The owners are GREAT!! They care about you having a wonderful experience. You may contact them if you ever have a question.Also, the location is perfect…. Close to the ocean, shopping, restaurants and grocery stores.We have vacationed at The Dock the last few years and will continue to do so because this not only a great place, but the owners really care.

I loved this place! The reviews are accurate. The host was wonderful, communicative, and helpful. The property was beautiful, clean, and well-kept. I loved the location—not too close to the high-summer beach crowds, but not too far for a quick walk to the sand. I'd move in if I could figure out how to do it. Thanks for a great stay!

Great stay!

Great spot close to the beach and walking distance to plenty of restaurants and bars. Holly met us at the house when we checked in. She gave us some ideas of places to check out in the area and made sure we were all squared away with the necessary info for the house. Clean and comfortable spot with plenty of space to hangout. Nice area with friendly neighbors. Would definitely stay here again!

From the moment you enter the property, it is an aha moment. Beautifully decorated with a beachy vibe. Just a fantastic relaxing experience at this property. Walking distance to beach, shopping and restaurants. Very well stocked with everything you may need during your stay. Super clean. Most gracious property manager who greets you upon arrival.

Always Amazing

This is our 7th summer at The Dock. The location and genuine comfort is what keeps us coming back. As previous residents of Newport Beach, The Dock makes us fell like we are living back in our old neighborhood. The location is close to the action but tucked away on a quiet street. Not to mention, Holly and Drew are amazing host.

Fantastic!

We absolutely loved our stay at The Dock! Holly answered all of my questions before we arrived and met us upon arrival for check in. I had her number, very easy to contact if needed. The property was as described. Very clean. Perfect size for my family of 4. Love the twin beds for my kids that are 11&9. I would agree that it is not the place for kids probably under 5 because of the steps and decorations. We also loved this place over previous Newport Beach locations because it was quiet at night!! Yet, only a few blocks from beach and walking distance to about anything you need! The garage was an added bonus! We will be back!

Great stay!

Loved our time in this little beach house. Holly is an amazing communicator and does anything she can to make your stay comfy. Would definitely stay here again! It was perfect for our family of 4. Super clean, stocked very well and comfy beds. Very quiet. The area is our favorite location to stay in Newport because you can walk everywhere. There are tenants in the front where the patio is. You share it with them. They were nice enough but it was a little awkward at times. We seemed to run into them every time we wanted to use the patio. So we opted not to use it. And it wasn't a huge deal because we were out and about most of the time!
