Charming and comfortable house near the beach
Our welcome from the property manager was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the clean and roomy house, comfortable bed and the short walk to the beach. We rode the cruiser bikes on nice trails from our neighborhood and enjoyed just walking to the grocery store and restaurants easily. The neighborhood feels safe and the beach is clean and beautiful. We enjoyed sitting on the beach with the chairs provided and watching all the surfers, birds & dolphins.

Newport Beach vacation
Great place to stay! The house was perfect for our family of 5 and lived having the beach toys available for us. We would stay again. Parking in the area is tough and the garage would be very hard if we had a larger SUV. We rented a minivan and parking in the garage worked out good.

beautiful house a block from beach
This was the best vrbo we've stayed at. Right by the beach on Balboa Island just off PCH. Restaurants to walk to, beautiful blocks to walk down, near HB and Long Beach. Rich met us onsite and gave us a great short tour, and he was easy to get hold of. Price was reasonable, too.

This property had everything that we needed.
Location was perfect to beach.... walking didtance. Short drive to pier and other activities. Having boogie boards, chairs,umbrellas and sand toys for the beach was a very nice touch. Homeowner always stayed in touch and the on site person - Rollo was a wealth of knowledge and fun to speak with. If we visit Newport Beach again we will most certainly stay at this location.

Fantastic!
Our family had the time of our life! The accommodations were great, just as shown on the VRBO listing. It was homey and full of items you would need for your stay. Unfortunately there was a heat wave during our stay and since there is no air conditioning, when needed, we just carried the fans from room to room. We are planning another stay next year! Highly recommend!

Very cute beach house perfect for a family!
We loved our stay at this beach house!! The vaulted ceiling in the front room made it seem spacious while the wood beams made it cozy. Th layout was perfect for our family of 6 and had everything we needed. The beach towels/chairs/toys were much appreciated! A quick walk to the beach and very near great food. The garage fit our Minivan (Honda odyssey) but I will say my husband is a pro Parker and I wouldn’t have attempted it, it’s a tight squeeze but very nice having that option. Overall would absolutely stay again!

Loved the people who are running the property. Best I’ve experienced. No complaints at all. I really wish the deposit was not held onto for so long. It’s been released a week afterwards, but I’ll be closer to 4 weeks for the deposit.

Very nice house and great location!
We stayed at this house for a week, and the owner was wonderful to work with. We had never been to Newport Beach before, and she was a wealth of organized and helpful information. She was also very quick to respond to any questions we had before and during rental time. The house is great, exactly as described, and very clean and nice, and the location is perfect. We have 2 kids and were close enough to visit Disneyland and Legoland easily during our stay. Also, the house was close to restaurants (we enjoyed dinner and ice cream bars at Balboa island one night and the Yard House on another night), groceries, Starbucks, everything we needed. I also enjoyed running along the bike path on the beach very much. We will definitely take this trip again, and I would recommend it to friends.

Good house great location great price
This is a property within walking distance of The beach. We normally stay beachfront so we were concerned about staying a block away but it was great! Not inconvenient as I had expected. The property is older and thus there were some inconveniences and quirks but overall it was an excellent value. It is the least expensive property that we have rented in Newport over the last 20 years. We appreciated the availability of bikes, boogie boards, and beach chairs. Although we have an older family and didn’t use beach toys, there were plenty of those also. One thing to note is that the WiFi was very weak and unreliable. My husband had to get some work done and wasn’t able to do so at the house. It was also an issue because our family has a lot of devices that use WiFi. Overall I would recommend this property.

Great location!
Great location, less than 2 blocks to the beach and walking, biking path. Also, 2 blocks in the other direction, you'll find coffee, a restaurant, liquor store, tacos and really any basic amenities you'll need to enjoy your stay. We did not have a car and didn't need it with this great location. 2 bikes in the garage, and all the beach toys. A few things to consider: the property is old but nicely maintained. It does lack privacy, you share the front patio with your neighbors. Also, unfortunately for us , there was a heat wave with no AC! There are plenty of fans in the house to keep the air moving and we just jumped in the ocean to cool off. The house met our needs, but isn't fancy. Good value.

Overall very happy to stay at Sheryl's Newport house. It was exactly as described. My one note would be that the volume of information pushed via email prior to the stay was excessive. I'm sure it is a difficult balance to get people the information they need. Good to communicate, but we eventually just stopped reading the long emails. Still a 5 star spot, would definitely consider staying there again.

Great beach getaway
We loved the neighborhood, it’s a fairly unbusy area (during our stay) with the beach a quick walk a few minuets directly down the road. I do wish there was assigned parking, we were able to find parking just one to two streets over each day/night, and did need to pay for parking the days we were not out of the house before 8am, there’s a garage but you won’t fit into it unless you have a compact car or motorcycle. We pulled up to the house to drop off kids and bags, etc each night, thankfully we had older kids so that was easy enough. The house is cute and the two patio options were nice also. The hosts were friendly and provided us with everything we needed, very quick to respond to any questions or requests. We actually arrived two hours later than we thought we would, around 10:30pm, we were apologetic and Rollo told us not a big deal, be safe, take our time driving and he’d see us soon. When we met him he was in no rush to check us in even thought we had him there much later than anyone had thought, he took his time explaining things, showing us around and made sure we were happy and comfy before leaving.

Total relaxation
This charming home by the sea was just what we needed. It was the perfect getaway for our 16th Anniversary. Walkout the door, turn right, two minutes later your feet are in the sand of the Pacific Ocean. Amenities as well as proximity to great food and activities are the best. We will be returning many times.
