Family with teens
We had a fabulous time with our teen daughters and two of their friends. The house was set up perfectly for our group of six and the location could not be better. We were close to everything. We didn’t rent a car and used the bike rental through the property management company - the bikes were in the garage when we arrived and we biked everywhere we wanted to go during the week (except dinner in Laguna Beach which was the only time we used Uber). It was perfection. The only minor inconvenience was not having enough hot water if everyone wanted to shower at the same time but that might happen anywhere with four teenage girls and we quickly adjusted. Would highly recommend this house, location, and management company.

Great Location
The house was nice and the location was really good. Unfortunately the pots and pans are really worn out and peeling. Both couches need to be replaced, really uncomfortable, no cushion support. You sink in when you sit down. Nice place just needs a little more attention.

More Pros Than Cons
Overall enjoyed our stay. The location was fabulous; an easy 2 block walk to the beach and an equally easy walk to Lido Marina Village and many nearby restaurants. The property was spacious and space was well-utilized (bright spacious living room/kitchen with high ceilings, large master bedroom, large upstairs family room). The property was clean. There were a few things in need of replacement/repair, but we were able to overlook them (kitchen stools with wicker detaching, broken tiles in the bathroom, rusty bathroom grab bars, front fence needs to be repainted). As with any house, there were quirks but the property managers didn’t inform us upfront and instead waited for us to ask before reading us the property notes (eg. Must turn door handle a certain way to lock door, must run faucet to get shower water to get hot). What bothered us the most was that there was a scheduled power outage that Edison stated they notified affected homes about but the property managers claimed to never have received the notice. (Edison’s website stated the planned outage and they were going block by block daily). We didn’t have power for 12 hours and were forced to leave the unit all day. The property managers did not offer any help or remedy besides “buy candles from Pavilions and maybe we’ll reimburse you.” We were disappointed by their response and it was probably the one thing that makes us unsure if we’d stay with this company again. Wish their reply had been more empathetic and that they learn to pay attention to planned power outages so they can disclose to renters. We should not have paid for the day we couldn’t even stay in the house during a planned outage! In the mean time, check Edison’s planned outage map!

This was the perfect beach house for our family. There was plenty of room for everyone. We especially liked the large “hang-out” room where we could all watch movies and play games together.

Great Location but needs some fixes
Overall the place was in a great location, 3 blocks to beach and 1 block to the grocery store. We were not so pleased with the wear and tear on this house - it needs a lot of fixes in every room. The family room is smaller than advertised in photos and the outdoor patio dining table only seats 6 when it sleeps 8 but the kitchen and the downstairs bedroom are spacious. The upstairs bathroom tiles were all cracked and coming up when stepping on them, the ceiling fans only have 1 setting: high/loud and have never been cleaned (black dust all over), the bed in the couch is sadly located in the main family room where it doesn't fit, when it should be in the large game room upstairs for more privacy. The couches need to be replaced in general, some drawers don't open properly, the back door does not lock and the kitchen needs all new plates and bowls, no steak knives or can openers either. The garage barely fits 2 small cars - you have to climb out of the sunroof to fit both. And they don't provide shower soap like most rentals do. It does the job but needs a little more attention to detail. Overall an ok place to stay due to the location and style but needs a careful eye to make some simple and safe updates.

Nice property but noisy
The property was nice BUT there was major construction going on next door during our entire stay that we were not made aware of. One night the workers came back at 8pm and continued working through the night which was apparently against city rules but of course there was no one around to stop them. So, our ability to enjoy the property was marred by loud jackhammering, pressure washing, banging, sawing etc. from 7am onward every day. The place lacked a table where the 5 of us could sit together for meals and we couldn’t sit outside to eat bc of the noise next door. Other than that the place is well put together.

Great House
We stayed here for a family vacation and we could not be lord thrilled with the location and the house itself. It had a fantastic open kitchen and a large upstairs area where we could all hang out. One block away from a grocery store which was ideal. Walking distance to Lido Island shops and restaurants and the best part is, it was a few short blocks to the beach! You had beach close property without all the noise and traffic of being right on the beach. The patio was ideal for outdoor eating as well. We thoroughly enjoyed it and can’t wait to return to our “beach house” as our little ones called it. This will definitely be our go to spot every year!

Geeignet für Familien
Wir waren mit Sohn,schwiegertochter und Enkelkindern dort. Genug Platz und für uns eine ideale Aufteilung. Sehr nah am Beach und man ist alleine im Haus, keine Nachbarn die man hört. Achtung, in die Garage passen keine 2 Autos. Grosses Parking Problem in New Poet Beach! Auch seitenlange Regeln, wie man sich verhalten muss und welche Bussen es gibt, was Regeln nicht befolgt werden. Wirkt etwas abschreckend. Wir waren im Januar da, Regen und kalt. Wir haben gefroren. Zum Glück gab es eine Heizung.
