Great property location and had everything that we needed. The upstairs unit gets great sunlight. Very close to the ferry to Newport Beach. Thanks for letting us stay!

Despite being greeted by cockroaches the place overall was very pleasant. Nice view of the marina and friendly host. Parking is a challenge but we managed. I would stay here again.

We came for our daughters wedding with 4 children under 5 and 6 adults. The space fit us all perfect and was in an ideal location for us. The bathrooms need a little update and the shower upstairs needed the doors to be fixed, but other than that, it was a great place for a great price!

Reviewer Comments:
We were pretty underwhelmed with the quality of this unit. There was a cleaning fee essentially equal to one nights stay; however we arrived to find a unit not very clean. Virtually ever kitchen item was visibly dirty and needed to be cleaned before use. There was hair on the cabinets and counter of the bathroom. When we stripped the beds at the end of the stay (a rule we learned of after booking). The mattress covers were covered in hair and dirt. Disgusting. The sheets and towels also were not as described. They were described as hotel quality, but were low grade and scratchy. The towels had stains and shed. Also, we learned shortly before the stay that they provided only one bath towel per person. Not a deal breaker except that some of the towels were stained and thus unusable. The kitchen also was not well equipped and lacked basic tools like a can opener and a whisk. Although the location was excellent, we would not recommend based on the lack of cleanliness.

This property was as amazing as the photos look! The host provided regular and clear communication via text, email, and the Hospitality app. The beds were comfortable, all amenities were in good working order, the property was very clean and well maintained. This property fit our needs perfectly, our 5 day stay was far too short and we are looking so forward to returning soon.

I stayed at this perfect location with my daughter and her friends. I had the lower studio and the girls had the upper area. It was a cute, clean and a spacious property. Walking distance to all the best things to do on the island. Very close to the ferry. I would stay here again!

The layout of the property, two separate living areas that have no inside connection was a problem. Also, who doesn’t have a dishwasher in 2021? Great location but would never rent this property again. So cramped, we left a day early.
