The house was in a great location. The house was clean. I was disappointed that the house was lacking in any basic kitchen or household supplies. We usually have access to simple items like oil and sugar when staying in a rental. I was also disappointed that we received a very limited number of towels and had to put our own sheets in the bed.

We normally stay about a block away in the summer but wanted something on the beach for a smaller party. It was adequate. Towels and sheets were very basic. Wish it had a bigger balcony. All in all it met our needs, but could definitely use some improving.

You can't beat the location! Steps away from the beautiful Newport Beach sand. The property management company was fantastic. Super quick to respond, very polite, and more than willing to work with my late check in on a holiday weekend.
Like other reviewers mention, the beds do not have sheets on upon arrival and you are instructed upon departure to remove the sheets but make the bed with the blankets - which is exactly how it looks when you arrive so I don't know if the blankets are (ever) washed...definitely had to push that out of my slightly germophobic mind.
The damage deposit is actually damage insurance - and it's pretty steep given the condition of the interior. The cabinets were peeling, rust was present on most metal fixtures, the couches looked sun-faded and stained, the garbage disposal technically works, but we didn't trust it because it took so long to empty, the windows were all stiff and difficult to open, and the shutters were essentially all broken. Nothing so serious as to ruin a laid back beach vacation, but what is this insurance for if not to fix these sorts of issues?
Also, there are no beach towels - at all. At a beach house...and the bath towels were issued at one per guest. So not a lot of wiggle room on the towel front. We forgot to bring some so we made a quick Target run. But it is surprising that being on the beach and all there were not any beach towels, blankets, or mats. There were a lot of beach chairs and toys though, so that was great.

This property is in a wonderful location, right on the beach. Dealing with the property managers was also a pleasure…….they were very responsive to our needs. I would absolutely return to this property.

We had a great week at this property. The location is ideal as it is a short walk to great restaurants and a grocery store. The beach in front of the house is spectacular. While the home is clean, it is due for a deep cleaning. The miniblinds and screens could use a good soak, and the carpet is due to be cleaned, but let's face it, you're living on the beach for a week so who cares! The home had everything that was needed for cooking and clean up. The keyless entry was ideal as family could go back and forth to the beach as needed. There are a few beach items in the garage to make your day at the beach a little more enjoyable. There is limited space in the garage so do not rent a large vehicle. Overall, we had an amazing time and we recommend this property. We will be coming back.

This is the third year we have stayed at this particular home. Sadly, I was not happy with the condition of the home this year. I did call the Burr White office during our stay, and I spoke with Sarah, who was very nice. I mentioned the trash problem. We stayed here last year, and I don't recall having a key that opened the gate near the garage where the trash and recycle bins were stored. There were two bins on the other side of the garage that were not locked up. One was an average-sized trash bin and the other was a smaller, thinner recycle bin. On the table when we arrived was the information from BW. This year there was a new paper showing how to throw trash away. It also stated that the guest would be charged if there were extra plastic bags next to the bins.I waited a few days and worried that we had insufficient space to throw away our trash. We had six adults and two children staying with us, so we accumulated quite a bit of trash daily. Sarah said not to worry if we had extra trash when we left. With two days left, the guest staying in the unit below us, told us there was a key to unlock the gate near the garage to put our trash in. This solved the trash problem. The next thing that was truly annoying was the poor Wifi connection. It worked in the back bedroom, and was patchy elsewhere. There are big pieces of paint peeling near the kitchen pantry cupboards. The blinds near the stairs on all windows were filthy. The dust/dirt was on them for quite some time, and would not come off with merely dusting them. The first bathroom had no place for a roll of toilet paper to go on. This was the same bathroom last year that did not have a toilet paper holder. The roll of toilet paper was on the back of the toilet. My daughter used this bathroom last year and this year. She went to TJ MAXX and bought a holder that stands up on the floor to hold the roll of toilet paper. I am truly amazed at how little kitchen gadgets this house had.

For some reason 100+ kids decided that they were going to party in front of this house daily. The house was great and the location on the beach was perfect, was just very annoying to try and have a family vacation with a constant party going on out front. Another hiccup was with the dryer that stopped working on the 3rd day and we called to have it repaired but never heard back.

Pros: location perfect for getting to Balboa and close to highway to go into towns
Clean
Showers had great water pressure
One space to park in garage
Washer dryer
toaster, coffee maker, utensils, dishware, cookware were all adequate
refrigerator (with ice maker) and dishwasher and oven worked fine
hair dryer provided
great view of beach
free wifi
plenty of bath towels provided
Cons: have to put on your own sheets when you arrive
no A/C so a little stuffy in the rooms in middle of home (fans provided)
steep stairs up to house so be careful if you have little ones or elderly ones
no beach towels (Burr White did give one free beach towel upon check-in)
keypad was very hard to use and only figured out on last day that the trick is to pull knob toward you in order to turn the deadbolt
no bathroom toiletries except hand soap
Tip: so glad i made everyone put their outdoor shoes at the top of stairs everytime we came home. Then switch to indoor flip flops or socks so that we were not traipsing sand or dirt or mud into rest of home.

The location is great. Otherwise the house left much to be desired. We’ve stayed at a lot of places in Newport. They were all more clean and better outfitted than this one.
The beds weren’t made. The sheets were in plastic wrap and left on the floors. There were no beach towels, no laundry soap, and no pans in the kitchen, only pots.
Overall it was dirty and not worth the money. The location was great though.

Very relaxing and the house was accommodating for 8 of us. Suggestions: The house does need some TLC. The toilet paper holders in both bathrooms need replaced or secured. 2 of our guests tripped on the step going into the kitchen from the living room (1 fell on their knees). The step is a liability issue and should be more visible or marked with a black rubber mat or something for the eye to see the flush step.

The place was clean and Burr White very friendly and helpful. They replaced a quilt immediately and made sure we were happy. The second floor is lovely. The only thing missing from the second floor was a BBQ grill and a deck for people watching. We loved this place. But like to sit outside and people watch which we couldn’t do on the small balcony. The location was incredible!! Close to everything. Was nice to have a garage parking spot and washer and dryer in the house. Great stay!! Would love to come back but need a BBQ grill and deck for next year!! Will absolutely use Burr White Company again. Summer was awesome and so was Stacey!! They went above and beyond!!

This is the second time our family has stayed in this particular house. The last time was in August 2019. I was happy to see that there were more (8) stools to sit at the large kitchen island, as this is the only place in the house to sit and eat. The garage is extremely difficult to pull into as you are sharing the space with the occupant in the lower unit. I have a Honda CRV and it was tricky to pull in and out of the garage. The proximity to shopping and the pier is great. The best feature of the house is to be able to walk onto the sand and see your chairs and umbrella from the small 2-person balcony.

I had only asked for a few extra towels and was told to call another place to order them and pay for it. I feel the price we pay for these homes a simple request like that should be included. This unit is in a awesome location however there needs to be a few updates/repairs done. New sink in kitchen, new washer and dryer, paint and working drawers.

Cleaner than normal beach house with an excellent location right on the beach & boardwalk. This is a top-floor unit and it had everything we needed including a lot of rooms and beds. Kitchen was well stocked with everything I needed for cooking. I've stayed in numerous Newport Beach homes and this was one of the cleanest and well maintained I've experienced. This comes with the territory, but if you have anything larger than a sedan it won't fit in the garage and you'll be fighting for street parking.
One area of improvement for the management - I've never stayed in a place where I had to put sheets on the beds upon arrival. The 'packs' of linens for each bed were organized and clean, but it was a poor experience as a guest (especially arriving later at night after a long drive to CA when all you want to do is go to bed).

Location is perfect and close to everything. Would definitely recommend!!

We truly enjoyed this property! The location to restaurants and shopping, the location on the beach & the beachfront beauty & sounds of the waves was all win win!!
