    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Every summer I host a little beach getaway with my three adult children and their spouses. We've been trying a different one every year, because something always falls short -- either the gathering spaces inside the home can't comfortably seat all seven of us, or the location isn't close enough to the beach and/or town, or someone's bedroom has no bathroom, etc. But this time -- it's all there, and we are planning to return! What a charming, spacious, well-located and thoughtfully laid-out vacation home! And Newport Beach offers so many activities (like the arcade and paddle boarding), all close by. Also: since I'm the one planning it, I particularly appreciated the timely updates and reminders from the property managers, which I forwarded to everyone,so we all knew exactly where to go and what to expect. Thank you! See you next year!

    This is a well maintained but old property with a 2nd story that is beautifully done. If you need the downstairs bedroom it is much smaller, older and darker. Unfortunately, that is where we stayed. The rest of the family loved their upstairs rooms. The kitchen is a good size but could use a refresh. The living room is a nice size but could use a refresh. The location is terrific.

    Nice beach cottage that was comfortable and well-equipped. Also located roughly mid-way between the shops and restaurants, and the ferry, and about six houses from the water. No A/C, but the weather was perfect and it wasn’t needed. Thanks for a great week away!
