3 parking spots are available for use during your stay (2 inside garage and 1 on the side of the house).
The property is arranged to accommodate a family who enjoys time together but also appreciates privacy. Although it is considered 2 units and has a private entrance for the upstairs unit, it is also very intimate as each unit has special amenities that coordinate well with the other. The beds are very comfortable with cozy linens and featherbeds and down comforters. Sleeping comfortably is a must for our family. The bathroom arrangement is unusual as each bedroom has it's own bathtub/shower and the upstairs has an extra full bath making it 3 bedrooms with 4 baths.
This property is close to everything you would like for the area. The beach is a short 1/2 block (50 yds), grocery store is a walk, bike ride away. Bike rental is 1 block, restaurants and shopping is a walk down the boardwalk which we enjoy daily when we are there.

Our host was great with communications and with any questions we had. Our VRBO was just as advertised, light, airy, and spotless. We particularly appreciated the beach gear made available to us. From seniors to a pre-teen, we all had a glorious time. The location is magnificent.

This was our ninth year, renting a house in Newport Beach for a week in the summer. This was the best place we have stayed in. The house was very clean and very well supplied with all of the things we needed. Working with Tim was so easy and the communication was perfect. Having central air conditioning was a first for us in nine years and we definitely enjoyed it. The washer and dryer are big and perfect to wash the towels after a day at the beach. I have zero complaints. It is the perfect place to stay with a big group. We will be back.

This property is in a perfect location, very close to the beach, and is well equipped with all sorts of beach items, from sand chairs and boogie boards to sand toys and a wagon to transport everything. Tim was a great host, very accommodating and helpful. We would stay here again.

This listing is true to what you see. The house is two units which works for us since we are four families, one with children. People could be together or have their own time. The house is a short and easy walk to the beach and beach equipment is provided, including nice beach towels. The front patio was the most used area of the property. It’s a great place to spend evenings. The kitchens are both well equipped. Both have coffee makers and Keurig single cups. Coffee is important in our family! We were a short walk to a few restaurants and a liquor/convenient store and a bike ride away to shops and the boardwalk. Although the downstairs unit is a bit smaller, our family of nine spent most of our time having dinner and relaxing there. With the kitchen island and the living area, there was plenty of seating for game nights and tv watching. The upstairs was the get-away area and work area for those who had to touch base remotely. Tim the host was a text away to answer any questions and his response time was incredible! Another great annual beach week was had! Thank you, Tim!

This is the 2nd year we have stayed here for our family vacation. We love it so much! We love that it has all the necessities for the beach and how close it is to the beach so we can come back for lunch and napping the babies. The host is amazing to work with! Going to be staying here for years to come!

House was great and just as pictured. Location could not have been better-- just steps to the beach and walkable to great restaurants and coffee shops. Grocery store less than a mile away. Very well equipped-- we had a chef come one night to cook dinner and there was everything he needed and more. Also tons of chairs/beach towels/boogie boards/cooler/wagon-- made getting to the beach super easy. We were a group of 14 (12 twentysomething kids and 2 parents) so we had both units. All of us could easily hang out in either unit. We were there Thursday - Sunday and street parking did get a little more difficult on the weekend so the garage was a plus. We would definitely rent this house again!

We rented the full duplex and it was a super nice stay! Very clean and comfortable for our adult spring break trip. The photos on the listing don’t do it as much justice - we found it to be very spacious with enough room to spread out. Great booking!

Unforgettable weekend!! The house was just perfect for our family! We all enjoyed our stay! Very clean and all the extra amenities that I have never seen in other vacation rentals, steps from the beach and 3 parking spaces. The host was awesome, great communication.

Our family enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving in Newport. The location can’t be beat. We walked everywhere - beach, pier, shops. The home was comfortable and well appointed. And the hosts were fantastic - responsive, communicative, and kind. We hope to come back!

We stayed here as a group of 11 (2 families, 4 adults, 7 kids) for a long-awaited reunion. Having both units allowed for plenty of spacious together time, with built in privacy as well. We took advantage of both kitchens and all of the beach gear for a full day of fun just a few houses from the sand and waves. Communication with the property manager was prompt and easy-going. This part of Newport is relatively calm and uncrowded, especially in the fall. We would definitely recommend this for other similar groups!

This house exceeded our expectations. Each bedroom had it’s own bath. We had 5 couples and the house was perfect! Literally a block from the beach. The house had all the fun stuff needed for the beach! The host was responsive and kind! We are definitely going to make this our yearly vacation!! Perfect neighborhood and location. We hired a personal chef for a dinner one of the nights and it fit 15 of us comfortably. Thank you!

Enjoyed a week stay just steps from the sand at beautiful Newport Beach in Tim and Rory O’Neil’s 2-entry home. Accommodated our 5-family group so well with two master bedrooms with in-suite master bathrooms, and one queen, 2 doubles and 1 room with 2 bunk beds all with bathrooms adjoining. The kitchen downstairs and upstairs allowed for storing a weeks worth of food though we did most of our prepping and cooking in the downstairs kitchen. Super easy checkout instructions and host was so kind to work with us during next door construction. Pack-n-plays and high chairs were a definite plus. Also enjoyed beach toys and chairs plus sturdy wagon to tote everything down to the beach front. Thank you!

Beautiful home with plenty of space for the 10 of us. Nice elevated outdoor seating outside of bedroom. Everything we needed for our trip. Great communication with owner . Would help to clean the jacuzzi tub and adjust shower doors . Minor nitpick for a great property. Would stay again.

From the get go Tim responded quickly to all my email questions. The home was gorgeous and had beautifully equipped kitchens. The front patio was a little small for our huge family but we made it work. Lots of beach towels, beach chairs and boogie boards, and it was so nice to not have to pack those items. Home needed some minor repairs which weren’t much of a problem. At check out I notified Tim of these repairs. Great location! Park close by for kiddos was a plus! We lost a day due to tropical storm so I was kinda upset about that. Time lost is money wasted and kids were soooo disappointed that we had to go home early. All in all, we did have a joyous time all together in this beautiful home!

Our weeklong stay at this property was incredible and we highly recommend it.
This was a perfect fit for our family reunion. We were just steps from the beach and the property was able to nicely accommodate our extended family including adults, young adults, a 3 year-old and a 6 month-old.
The property managers, Tim and Rory, were very responsive and kind. They were the perfect hosts!
The house had everything we needed for a week at the beach: beach chairs, beach toys, etc.
The property was very clean and had excellent furnishings. The gathering area in the front of the house was perfect for family dinners and game nights.
We will definitely stay here again!

This house is amazing and the property manager is so helpful and kind. The home was very clean and very well appointed with the kind of things you might need to stay a week away from your own home. We loved the location and the furnishings, TV's and most of all the front porch and back deck! We had a great time and we definitely be back!

This property worked perfectly for our group. We had five couples and a few babies and kids. The devision of the floors was great for naptime and early risers, and the laundry being accessed outside also ended up being a plus for the same reasons. The three parking spaces were perfect for our needs and so needed with the scarcity of parking by the beach. The beach was such an easy walk, and the outdoor shower being plumed for hot water was a big hit with my kids who were sandy and cold after playing at the beach all day. Tim was so gracious, great at communicating about our trip, and very prompt helping with a minor problem we ran into. The property itself was clean, in good repair, and had everything we needed and more. We would all definitely stay here again!

We are so happy with our experience at this property that we want to make it an annual event. I was so impressed with how stocked it was for a beach experience. Sand toys, boogie boards, coolers, beach towels, sand wagon etc. The only small issue was old pizza crust and water bottle under dresser. The host was amazing and was easy to contact and work with. We loved how close it was to the beach so we could walk back for lunches and naps for the babies. It was very updated and comfortable. Thanks for such an amazing place to have our whole family together.

Just as advertised! Spacious and well-equipped, it was great for our family. Our host was superb. The proximity to the beach - a nice, quiet beach - was something each of us loved. The upper level windows provided great light. Everything was clean, plenty of closet space. There were 12 of us and we were able to spread out using both levels.

AWe had a larger party stay at this property and it was perfect!! Tim was so communicative and sweet! We had issue with the fire alarm system and Tim was over in minutes to fix it! We absolutely loved the location and the ability to walk almost anywhere nearby - especially the beach! Thank you so much Tim!! We had a great stay!

Our group of 15 (8 adults and 7 children ages 9 months to 6 years) had a spectacular time in this beautiful, clean and well situated vacation home. It was the perfect size to fit everyone and the property was stocked with all of our needs including high chair, pack and play, kitchen items for cooking, toiletries, super comfortable beds, and more! We loved the accessibility to the beach (only one block!), ample parking (3 spots including garage!) and laundry. We enjoyed relaxing breakfasts out on the front patio in the sun which was amazing for the middle of February for our mostly east coast - originating group. The location was perfect: within walking distance or a short drive from many restaurants, landmarks, and fun activities for the entire group. Tim was fabulous with communication and very accommodating with our check in time. Just an FYI that the upstairs and downstairs aren’t connected from inside (stairs are outside, so it’s like two separate apartments), but it worked well for our group so that we could have separate nights with the guys taking care of the kids upstairs while the girls hung out downstairs or vice versa :) All in all, we would definitely recommend this home for any multi family group. We can’t wait to come again!

The property is fantastic and was perfect for our group of 12! The location is a quick walk to the beach or uber ride away from so many different places. Tim was very accommodating with our check-in and check-out times, which made our stay even better. I would definitely stay again and recommend to everyone!
