Beautiful Beach Home
I was so happy with the property, the location, and the owners. Everything was perfect. Big home within walking distance of beach, store, restaurants. We reserved beach cruisers that were delivered to the house. Lucked out with beautiful weather. Couldn’t have asked for a better weekend! Owners are very responsive and very easy checkout process. Definitely recommend!

Great House and Quiet Retreat
We stayed here for spring break. Three adults and three kids ages 8, 13, 13. The house was very clean. The master bedroom had a very comfortable bed. We mostly ate at local restaurants that were with in walking distance. It was a short walk to the beach. We rented e-bikes from a shop a few blocks away and had a great ride up to Huntington Beach for lunch, then up to Riip Brewing. I would recommend this house for anyone looking for a clean, comfortable and quite retreat with in walking distance to the action in Newport Beach.

Girls Trip
This property was a dream! We brought our own stand up paddle boards and could launch right from the dock. The location is walking distance from so many different spots! The beach, shopping, restaurants, the pier... The kitchen is small but has all the essentials, plenty of towels and a laundry in the garage. The garage is too small for a truck due to some storage shelving but we were able to find parking without too much difficulty. A car would have fit no problem.The property managers Kristy and Nick were beyond helpful from the start. They had lots of fabulous recommendations along with locations and contact information. I stay at VRBO's quite a lot and this was by far my favorite. I HIGHLY recommend this property!

Wonderful Staycation!
We had the best time at this great beach cottage. We paddle boarded straight from the dock, walked across the street to the beach and rode bikes up and down the boardwalk. Walking distance to so many great restaurants too. The home slept our family of 6 plus a few friends with ease. Kristy was super responsive and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend this home for a great beach vacation.

Great Location, Old House
We had a nice time. The location was great, walk to beach, grocery store and restaurants in 5 minutes. The house was very old and run down. Nothing updated and weird layout. Upstairs with 4 bedrooms, only 1 full bathroom in the master and a 1/2 bath. We all had to use master shower or go downstairs to shower. Downstairs were 2 bathrooms with 2 bedrooms. It happened to be freezing the weekend of our stay and the old heater barely put out heat. The back was nice and right on a canal. It would be nice to have had paddle boards for our use. The kitchen was very well stocked, which was appreciated. No dishwasher. Also plenty of towels and bathroom supplies. We enjoyed our stay but prefer a newer, updated house. Than you.

Newport Beach Bliss
An excellent summer vacation home in a brilliant location and extremely well managed and stocked. Great to be back in NB after 2 summers of pandemic and delighted to see the city and businesses have survived so well. With a view of the canal and two blocks from the beach this holiday was made to order for friends and family. A short walk to shops and restaurants

Beautiful sunset views from the dock every evening, walking distance to the beach, dining and shopping. This house was well stocked and very charming. We will 100% stay here again. We are local and used to live right down the street from this location. It was a spectacular staycation - convenient with lots of room for everyone! Highly recommend!!!

Great family vacation!
This was a wonderful property for our vacation. Less than a five minute walk to the beach, grocery store and restaurants. Loved that when we weren’t on the beach we could relax on the patio on the canal. The house had plenty of room for our group of twelve ranging from infant to teens to adults, it had everything we needed and more! The only downside to this property is the kitchen/cooking area is small, so food prep was tight but manageable. Also be aware that this is an older home, this was not a drawback for us as we loved the coziness and charm with the added plus of the littles thinking the house was haunted and they loved it. I would recommend this home and the property managers, Kristy was great and readily available for questions before and during the trip. Overall this was a wonderful choice of home for us!!!

Oil spill stay was still a thrill!
The location and the house are awesome. We planned on surfing and got sum done just before an oil spill was announced. We ended up traveling by car 36 minutes to beaches further South where there was no spill issue. There are so many little extras in the house I can't mention them all. As a superhost I can tell you that this place is the best.

Relaxing and cozy with a lot of household items available. Plenty of space for 4 small family.
Owner was quick to respond from beginning to end. Minor issue** When we first arrive, I was looking for my son's toy under the couch rug didn't smell so clean as if their dog smell or haven't been vacuum/washed well, my allergies kicked in afterwards. The house had 6 bedrooms and 4 toilets as mentioned. The house was clean overall. Marina view was awesome, quiet, relaxing to hanging for meals/fishing and painting. Neighbors are nice. Parking suck if you have more than 2 cars [fits very tightly in garage]. Plenty of bath towels, ice chest, beach supplies toilet paper, body wash and shampoo. Very thoughtful owners consider every aspect of family accommodation. House is down the street from a park and the shore. The bbq propane is filled for easy use and we were greeted with oreo cookie jar. The family and kids over the house and weekend. Thank you Nick and Kristy for hosting us!
