The home is beautiful! The photos of the living room are outdated so totally refurnished, modernized lkivingroom which just adds to the overall appearance. We could not have enjoyed the patio/balconies more as the harbor views are spectacfular with boats/ships passing by. Outdoor furnishings equally modern and comfortable. All amenities as described. Easy walk to oceanside of peninsula. Garage parking huge plus in this area. Would definitely recommend this home.

This place was just fantastic - a home away from home. Can’t imagine anything we would’ve needed that wasn’t there. Location was absolutely perfect for our family, it was tastefully furnished, and oh so comfortable. I highly recommend it!

Two families very much enjoyed this home right on the waterfront. Upscale, clean, well appointed. If the only negative thing to say was there was nowhere near enough bath towels (2) means we had an excellent time. Worth every penny.

Fabulous property! Everything was as described, incredibly clean, well stocked kitchen, nice patio outside for relaxing and watching the boats go by. Having access to rent the Duffy was a great addition to our stay. The parking was easy with the long garage for our large suv, and just a block walk to the beach or restaurants. Would definitely come stay again!

Great place in a great location. Everything was as advertised. Landlord was great to deal with. The only issue was HVAC. It needs to be adjusted with another sensor added downstairs. The upstairs gets hot while the downstairs stays very cool. It made for a chilly visit in the mornings getting that first cup of coffee in the kitchen.

The absolute best VRBO we have ever stayed in (more than 30). Every detail imagined and owners are 1st class decorators. A+.

Beautiful property in an incredible location
Well appointed house on the water in Newport Harbor. We had a small family gathering and were so excited to be at this property. Although the house itself isn’t large, the massive outdoor deck with folding doors opening from the living room made it feel much roomier. Also, the opportunity to rent the Duffy boat made this property a no-brainer. We will definitely be back soon!

The best of Newport.
Beautiful, perfectly maintained and managed house on the water. I was so impressed with how well this house was stocked. It's rare to find a rental with an abundance of matching dishes, cutlery and glassware.

Staycation
We live locally (20-30 mins) but not on the water. We are familiar with the area and this rental did not disappoint. It was as advertised and had everything we needed. Great for families with younger kids because when the tide is low there is a beach for the kids to play. Easy for parents to keep an eye on children. Lots of great restaurants and activities within walking distance.

Perfect stay!
The house was perfect! We lived in Orange County all of our lives until we sold our home there a year ago. We were so happy with this rental, that we plan to rent this and not buy a 2nd home again there.

Beautiful Property
The property is conveniently located near the beach and great dining options. Beautiful finishes in the home. The property manager was a pleasure to work with. It is in a very active area of the peninsula, so that could be a plus or minus depending upon what you like.

The views from the patio were so beautiful and relaxing. We highly recommend!
We enjoyed your beautiful home. Only issues were no dish soap, and not enough towels.

INCREDIBLE BEACH GETAWAY
WONDERFUL BEACH HOUSE ON THE WATER IN AN INCREDIBLE LOCATION WITH A SHORT WALK TO MANY RESTAURANTS, SHOPS, THE FUN ZONE, AND THE BALBOA PIER. THIS HOME IS VERY WELL APPOINTED WITH EVERYTHING YOU WILL NEED. WE LOVED HANGING OUT ON THE PATIO JUST WATCHING THE BOATS GO BY. THE FIRE PIT WAS A BIG HELP ON THOSE CHILLY EVENINGS. THE OWNER WAS VERY QUICK TO RESPOND TO ANY NEEDS AND A JOY TO DEAL WITH. WE GIVE THIS HOUSE A 10 PLUS AND HOPE TO REVISIT IN THE FUTURE.

Beautiful Bayfront
What a wonderful property. Beautiful views and luxurious accommodations. We loved the fire pit and the updated kitchen. The garage parking fit our vehicles and bikes. We had a great time and would stay again.
