Great Oceanfront Second Floor Unit

This great oceanfront, 2 bedroom, 2 bath, upper unit has beautiful ocean views! With a nice deck with chairs and a BBQ and a spacious living room and kitchen, this unit is perfect for relaxing with the family.

The living room has plenty of room to relax and take in cool ocean breezes. An L-shaped couch, coffee table, and flat screen TV keep the crew comfy when they’re not out enjoying all the beach has to offer. The dining table seats six, with four additional seats at the kitchen counter for quick bites. The kitchen has a dual sink, dishwasher, microwave, dishwasher and plenty of cabinet and counter space for storing and preparing meals. Maximize time outdoors on the balcony with a table, chairs, a gas BBQ and terrific views. The fireplace is not for guest use.

A king bed graces the master bedroom at the rear of the unit, with a wall-mounted flat panel TV, and an en suite bath featuring dual sinks and a walk-in shower. The guest bedroom with two twins has access to the hall bath with dual sinks and a walk-in shower. The couch folds out into a queen size bed.

There is a coin-operated washer and dryer in the carport, shared with the ground floor unit. The carport has two compact parking spots, small cars only please.

The deck offers unmatched sunset views and panoramic views of the Newport Pier, Balboa Pier, Catalina Island and south to Laguna Beach. The home is just steps away from an elementary school that kids can enjoy the playground that is accessible to visitors when school is not in session. The bike path/boardwalk runs right out front, your ticket to exploring the Peninsula by bicycle or on foot. The Newport Pier area is just a short stroll away with shops and local eateries galore.

Perfect Location

We loved the property! The location was perfect - our 22 year old sons loved the proximity to the both the piers and the nearby venues. We loved being on the sand with ocean views. We will definitely return to this property.

All about the location

Can't beat being on the beach! As for the unit - these are not huge problems, but helpful it get a feel for the place: - generally it is dated and has been kept up with very basic minimal effort (some peeling paint in corners, some windows stuck, some blinds not working) - it was superficially cleaned, but could use a deep cleaning - sheets and towels super warn out and cheap, no extra towels provided (1 small bath towel, per person) - no games, no beach chairs or towels (even though there is plenty of closet space to store these items) - terrible shower water pressure - kitchen supplies are cheap and bare; no plastic/outdoor dinnerware, cups Very basic amenities and only the most bare necessities compared to other properties and what one would expect for a beach house in a place like Newport Beach, but served our purpose for a last-minute escape just fine.

Perfect location

We absolutely loved the location next to the school/park and walking distance to the Pier and restaurants. The property is comfortable and up to date. It does get loud here on the middle floor from people upstairs walking around, sliding chairs and dribbling basketballs. We knew this from previous reviews and brought a sound machine help drown out noises. Be sure to read the property info prior to your arrival as the unit is very basic and only provides one towel per person. Bring quarters for laundry as the local shops don’t have any to spare. There is a small grocery store at the end of the block with basic grocery, liquor and beach items. Beds were pretty comfortable and property was clean. Windows could use a cleaning and some need replaced due to broken seals and condensation between the panes. It obstructed our view some but we probably noticed more because it rained most of our stay and we couldn’t have the doors open. We still had a great time despite the rain. We saw so many dolphins and even a whale swimming along the shore. It was amazing to see

Pros and Cons

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: You cannot go wrong with an oceanfront condo in Newport Beach. Our family has stayed at various condos on Newport Beach for years, so have a comparison. There were little things that could have been better.The bed in the master bedroom was very firm. My back was hurting a bit by the end of the week.The linens were dingy. There was a stain on one of the bath mats and on the sheets provided. And we are uncertain if the bedspreads are washed between tenants. The management company asked us to strip the beds of the sheets upon checkout, but not the bedspreads.Being on the second floor, there was TONS of noice on the third floor. We could hear everything from above, from the dragging of a chair to children riding their scooters on the large patio. A few of the window blinds in the unit need to be replaced, including the ones on the front door.There are security lights that come on at 9 PM on the staircase from the first floor to the third floor. If you have anyone sleeping on the pull out couch in the living room, it can be rather bright, especially with broken blinds on the door. They need more drinking glasses in the unit. Spend $10 at a dollar store and stock up.Not picking on the unit, but there is a lot of activity outside of the unit due to the playground. That might not bother you.Overall, the unit is fine. But it could use a little TLC to make it better.

Great location and property but did have some significant leakage through a bedroom window during a strong storm. Property managers handled it well and was totally cleaned up the next day

It was just as and even more than the pics on the website depicted. The Newport Pier was close by which made our walks there everyday so enjoyable. I would highly recommend this property if you to enjoy Newport Beach.

Excellent Location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Spent part of our fall break trip at this property in Newport Beach. The location was perfect and we loved sitting on the balcony watching/listening to the ocean. Gorgeous views! A couple minor complaints about the unit - the overhead light and one of the bedside lamps in the master didn't work and the windows didn't appear to lock. Would have also appreciated a place to spray off our feet/legs after coming back from the beach before going inside. But none of these affected our overall stay, and we would definitely stay here again! I appreciated the flexibility of after-hours check-in and keyless entry.

Nice location on the beach

We enjoyed the location and being able to see and hear the ocean with the doors open. It was also a nice surprise to have a classic car show at the school on Saturday. We had some noisy neighbors, but the property manager contacted us and they seemed to be responsive and concerned about the quality of our stay. We do understand noise is common for these older beach houses, but be aware that you may have noisy neighbors. It had plenty of space for our family of 4 and I was happy to have dedicated parking. We also really enjoyed having restaurants, shopping, and a small food/convenience store within walking distance. Overall, we were really satisfied with the property and we highly recommend a stay here.

Perfect location & great property

Condo was wonderful and location was absolutely perfect. Being near the school was great for our kids - as soon as they woke up they’d head over to the playground and we could see them from the balcony while we were having our morning coffee. Prior reviews mentioned hearing other guests which almost stopped me from booking. You hear footsteps from above. That’s it. Condo was clean & had everything we needed. This was our 4th trip to Newport and the first time we’re talking about coming back and staying at the same property! Thank you!!!
