Perfect for a beach get-away!

Upstairs unit was very clean, with comfortable beds and sufficient WiFi and climate control. Richard was very kind with each interaction. I would definitely stay here again! Tip: There is an on-site coin operated washer and dryer… I had trouble getting a roll of quarters from the local shops, so best to bring a roll .

Great location, nothing special

Overall we had a really good stay. The location is terrific, very short walk to the beach. The place is VERY CLEAN and has some nice amenities such as a couple of bikes to ride, a garage space to park your car and comfortable beds. If you are just looking for a clean place to crash this is perfect. Other than that, everything in the place is a bit outdated. The outside patio is shared with the downstairs unit, which is not great for privacy. They do have window air conditioning units but they are old and noisy. Also the place has older windows and is not well insolated as it is cold in the morning (we were there in October) and you can really hear and feel traffic, especially when large trucks go rumbling by. However, the host was very nice. Easy check in and overall it was a nice place to get away for a couple of days.

Awesome location!

My family of 4 stayed for 4 nights in October and it was the perfect location for our travels to San Diego, LA, and the OC. It's also only a minute or two walk to the beach/ocean which we took advantage of daily to watch the sunset. The neighborhood is very nice and safe. It's also very quiet. There are a few restaurants within walking distance which were very good. We stayed in the upper unit and never heard the guests in the lower unit. We parked our compact SUV in the garage without issue. Beds were very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!

Quaint stay in Newport

The place is as pictured. Though not exactly explained the patio is shared with downstairs unit so their basically on left and you are on right which could be a little ackward when enjoying time out as the front downstairs unit is right by the patio. The bad thing about having upper unit is your entrance is to the back of unit near alley so the ease of just coming out to sit on patio is not as easy. To check in you have to text someone to meet at 4p and meet at unit where they show you around. Most units these days just give you code and email explanation to check in so it’s a little odd system to have to meet someone. I will say gentleman was very nice though and called earlier just to verify time meeting etc. I will say the upstairs is probably not ideal with little ones running around we had a toddler and we’re terrified of him tumbling down stairs so we kind of blocked with chairs whole time. Unit stays cool with window units and it’s much needed for an upper unit which doesn’t have much breeze going through.

Great location, very clean, had everything we needed!

Lovely rental for our 2 nights in Newport; only wish we had the option to check in a bit earlier. Most VRBO type places I’ve stayed in allow the guests more independence when arriving, but Happitravels uses a “helper” whom we had to text/call 45 min before arrival, and he was a friendly guy, but more chatty than we needed, having previously lived in the area and not having questions. The 2 bikes offered for use were a great perk!! The lock keypad was very convenient and worked fine. Walking to the 20th Street pier was 1.2 miles, so about 20 minutes. The AC was much appreciated! A+ stay, overall. Just didn’t need a check-in helper, IMO.

Loved this place

The master bedroom bed is very comfortable. The property manager was there upon our arrival, was super friendly and helpful. The parking here is very tight and took one person outside guiding the driver. That is typical for this area and cannot be helped. Just be prepared for that. I enjoyed the privacy of being on the second floor. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots, utensils, dish soap and sponge, etc and had everything we needed. Pots and pans, dishes, etc were all in very good shape. The stove is gas. The property managers thought of everything - there was a blanket to cuddle up in on the coach, bikes to ride (although they are not in super fantastic shape, they were free and worked), beach toys, beach chairs, towels, etc. We liked it so much we extended our stay. This is a great area, very close to the beach, safe, everything close by. People are friendly. I highly recommend staying here.

Perfect for us

HappiTravels and Sheryl and Rollo were very accommodating, very personalized in their communication and availability for assisting us with late check-in. Everything was perfect for our stay! We loved the proximity to the beach and the included beach toys (bikes, chairs and boogie boards.). It was perfect for our family of 6! They even took the time to find items we left behind and shipped them to us! Highly recommend. Would love to say we’ll be back!
