About this house rental

Our upper rear residence offers a refined coastal retreat for a single guest, couple, or small family, with year-round availability in Newport Beach. This spacious 1BR/1BA features an open-concept living area filled with natural light, complemented by granite countertops, wood-plank flooring, and comfortable furnishings. Just 100 feet away, 9th Street Bay Beach invites effortless days by the water, from swimming to paddleboarding. While the home itself is tucked away without direct views, a short stroll reveals serene bay scenery with sailboats, yachts, and distant mountain backdrops.

LIVING & DINING AREAS:
Open-concept living, kitchen, and dining area featuring a leather sofa, two matching armchairs, and a streaming TV. A wall heater adds comfort, while sliding glass doors open to a spiral staircase leading down to the rear patio. Enjoy your meals at the dining table with ample seating for six.

Great location, very clean.

Nice place. This may be listed, but we were surprised to have to walk along the side of the house to get to a spiral staircase to get to the unit. Dimnly lit & a little awkward to find.

Overall I enjoyed my stay. Prop mgmt is very good keeping guests informed. There are 1 million rules that seem a little excessive but very friendly communication. The wifi was janky the first night but they had it fixed the next day. Location is prime for the price. Bay in front. Short walk to beach/boardwalk and very quiet neighborhood. It does get quite cold at night and there is only a wall heater in the living room. So the bedroom has no heat, a lot of drafty windows and very thin blankets. PM: provide a space heater or a bunch more blankets or both. The bed is also not comfy and the living room couch needs repair or replacement. You do share space with the other part of the house, so be aware. The spiral staircase is pretty gnarly so be somewhat fit going up and down. NB is a beautiful town and if you want something clean and not fancy and will be spending all your time out and about, this place will do. The PM is very responsive.
