Great quiet getaway.

The place was well stocked with everything you need for a vacation rental. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful and just a short walk to the beach. The management was super responsive. We’ll definitely rent with them again.

Beach stay

Great location, right across from beach. Walking distance to many amenities. All the beach essentials in the garage was fantastic. Only constructive criticisms would be sheets have visible stains albeit clean but still.

Cozy one-bedroom close to beach and restaurants

This property was clean and exactly as listed. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked with necessities. The shared patio was a nice bonus with a large table, chairs and umbrella. The only small challenge was parking. The garage only fits a small vehicle, and we had an SUV so we had to search for street parking nearby, which can be difficult on weekends. Loved the proximity of the beach, board walk and all the restaurants. We parked our vehicle and walked practically everywhere.

2nd time staying here. Love the location. Easy to beach and restaurants. Very clean and enjoyable place to stay. Easily one of the better places to stay if parking is an issue no issues finding street parking at any time if you don't use the garage.

I Want To Go Back!

Cute, beachy and with everything you need for the beach. Older unit but modernized with all the comforts of home. Perfectly situated to the beach (ocean & bayside), restaurants, etc. I will definitely stay there again. Enjoyed 4 mile beach walks each morning and night and didn’t want to come home. Parking wasn’t bad either and my car was parked for days. I just paid attention to the street sweeping signs as they directed. Responsive owners were so helpful and nice when I couldn’t find my email!

Excellent Spot for a Couple!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The space is fairly small, but it has a great layout; perfect for a couple. The furniture is very nice, the kitchen is well-equipped, and the decorations are pleasant. We loved having a garage spot and easy access to the beaches. The instructions for check-in/check-out were helpful and clear. We will definitely consider this spot again for our next Newport Beach trip!

Great location

The location seemed pretty ideal to us. Located between the two piers, the noise is slightly less and not as many of the crowds. The apartment is just as advertised, everything in working order. The bed is amazingly comfortable. We didn’t end up parking in the garage as street parking was available this time of year.
