We loved the property! The location was perfect - our 22 year old sons loved the proximity to the both the piers and the nearby venues. We loved being on the sand with ocean views. We will definitely return to this property.

You cannot go wrong with an oceanfront condo in Newport Beach. Our family has stayed at various condos on Newport Beach for years, so have a comparison. There were little things that could have been better.The bed in the master bedroom was very firm. My back was hurting a bit by the end of the week.The linens were dingy. There was a stain on one of the bath mats and on the sheets provided. And we are uncertain if the bedspreads are washed between tenants. The management company asked us to strip the beds of the sheets upon checkout, but not the bedspreads.Being on the second floor, there was TONS of noice on the third floor. We could hear everything from above, from the dragging of a chair to children riding their scooters on the large patio. A few of the window blinds in the unit need to be replaced, including the ones on the front door.There are security lights that come on at 9 PM on the staircase from the first floor to the third floor. If you have anyone sleeping on the pull out couch in the living room, it can be rather bright, especially with broken blinds on the door. They need more drinking glasses in the unit. Spend $10 at a dollar store and stock up.Not picking on the unit, but there is a lot of activity outside of the unit due to the playground. That might not bother you.Overall, the unit is fine. But it could use a little TLC to make it better.

Easter vacation time with friends and family was a memorable experience

We absolutely loved the location next to the school/park and walking distance to the Pier and restaurants. The property is comfortable and up to date. It does get loud here on the middle floor from people upstairs walking around, sliding chairs and dribbling basketballs. We knew this from previous reviews and brought a sound machine help drown out noises. Be sure to read the property info prior to your arrival as the unit is very basic and only provides one towel per person. Bring quarters for laundry as the local shops don’t have any to spare. There is a small grocery store at the end of the block with basic grocery, liquor and beach items. Beds were pretty comfortable and property was clean. Windows could use a cleaning and some need replaced due to broken seals and condensation between the panes. It obstructed our view some but we probably noticed more because it rained most of our stay and we couldn’t have the doors open. We still had a great time despite the rain. We saw so many dolphins and even a whale swimming along the shore. It was amazing to see

Great location and property but did have some significant leakage through a bedroom window during a strong storm. Property managers handled it well and was totally cleaned up the next day

Can't beat being on the beach!
As for the unit - these are not huge problems, but helpful it get a feel for the place:
- generally it is dated and has been kept up with very basic minimal effort (some peeling paint in corners, some windows stuck, some blinds not working)
- it was superficially cleaned, but could use a deep cleaning
- sheets and towels super warn out and cheap, no extra towels provided (1 small bath towel, per person)
- no games, no beach chairs or towels (even though there is plenty of closet space to store these items)
- terrible shower water pressure
- kitchen supplies are cheap and bare; no plastic/outdoor dinnerware, cups
Very basic amenities and only the most bare necessities compared to other properties and what one would expect for a beach house in a place like Newport Beach, but served our purpose for a last-minute escape just fine.

My wife and I were extremely satisfied with this property. It was very clean, there was plenty of pillows and towels, the kitchen had everything we needed and the barbecue pit was great. The view from our balcony was awesome. It was just as and even more than the pics on the website depicted. The Newport Pier was close by which made our walks there everyday so enjoyable. I would highly recommend this property if you to enjoy Newport Beach.

Spent part of our fall break trip at this property in Newport Beach. The location was perfect and we loved sitting on the balcony watching/listening to the ocean. Gorgeous views! A couple minor complaints about the unit - the overhead light and one of the bedside lamps in the master didn't work and the windows didn't appear to lock. Would have also appreciated a place to spray off our feet/legs after coming back from the beach before going inside. But none of these affected our overall stay, and we would definitely stay here again! I appreciated the flexibility of after-hours check-in and keyless entry.

We enjoyed the location and being able to see and hear the ocean with the doors open. It was also a nice surprise to have a classic car show at the school on Saturday. We had some noisy neighbors, but the property manager contacted us and they seemed to be responsive and concerned about the quality of our stay. We do understand noise is common for these older beach houses, but be aware that you may have noisy neighbors.
It had plenty of space for our family of 4 and I was happy to have dedicated parking. We also really enjoyed having restaurants, shopping, and a small food/convenience store within walking distance.
Overall, we were really satisfied with the property and we highly recommend a stay here.

It was hot windows had to be opened and the screens were so dirty air couldn’t even get through. Lamp shades and walls also covered in dust
Extra towels for a week stay would be a plus
