This is the cutest beach cottage just steps from the beach and a few blocks from the Balboa pier and fun zone. Very well equipped with nice appliances, pots and pans, and plenty of bath towels. Super clean.

Communication with owner was easy and very detailed. Cottage is a great location, only 1 house off the beach. Cottage is walking distance to many other amenities. Pictures of cottage are exactly what we found once we arrived. Cottage was well stocked with nice basic items needed for our stay. Very clean and well stocked kitchen. Nice decor. Would definitely stay again!

Communication with the home owner was easy and positive. Nice beach house in a great location. We were 1 house from the beach and walking distance to other amenities. The property was perfect for our stay. Clean and well stocked with the basics of a vacation rental. We were comfortable here.

We enjoyed staying at this cute beach cottage with our family. Great location, right next to the beach, walking distance to shops and restaurants. House is thoughtfully stocked. My only recommendation would be hooks or coat rack in main area for sweatshirts, coats and some spices for cooking. Lovely place!

Great property right by the sand on Balboa Peninsula. Great host and the house was well set up for guests. Would stay again!

Great bungalow about as close to the beach as you can get. We had plenty of space for our family of 4. I'd suggest renting bikes nearby and using those as your main transportation while in Newport Beach.
We arrived early and were able to get in right away. We found a nicely clean and well decorated home. We would stay again if out in Newport Beach.

Not sure if it was the town, weather or this nice house but the entire family had a relaxing stay. Great location. Nice beds and great window shades. All the features were available. Plan to stay there again!

We had an amazing time. The cottage was very clean and stocked with all the necessities. The location was fantastic which made it great for the grandkids to access the beach without having to cross a busy street. You could walk to the Fun Zone and all the shops and resturants near by. The outside shower with hot water was great for rinsing off which help keep the sand out of the house. My only small complaint was having to provide my own beach towels. It made it inconvenient when packing and flying from out of state. Then you had to bring them back sandy and dirty. It would be better if beach towel were provided.
8.0
The house was great, especially with the location to the beach. Was perfect for going to watch sunsets and relax. The umbrellas and beach chairs provided came in handy, however I think the surfboards could use an update or at least a deep clean. Overall, would recommend this stay.

My wife & friends booked the cottage for a girls weekend. Nothing but good things to say about this home & host!

This is a great house in a great location - probably the best equipped rental house I have ever stayed in. Hosts literally thought of everything. Clean, modern, and 10 steps from the beach. We loved our stay here. There was some street noise and noise from the alley to the beach, but nothing too disruptive. Great communication from the hosts and we appreciated how easy they were to reach. Excellent experience overall.

Easy living by the sea... we had a great time here. The house is not huge, but everything is spotless, well thought out, and the house is really well supplied. We appreciated the boogie boards, especially. The front of the house opens onto quite a busy road, but the sound of traffic really doesn't disturb at all once you are inside. I would definitely love to stay here again!

This is a great property and great location. We wanted a 1-story cottage (versus top or bottom floor of a 2-unit rental). We look forward to coming back again soon!

This is our second time staying here and we love it so much! The home is clean, close to the beach, and the owners are so quick to respond if you have any needs or questions. We will definitely be coming back!

This was a great property. It was very clean and modern. It had a lot of useful items we were not expecting but pleasantly surprised with. It was stocked with make up wipes, a bluetooth speaker, hand held mirrors, and coffee to name a few. Additionally the host was very friendly, accommodated an early check in and late departure. She responded to all of my questions immediately and was very thorough in her explanations. Loved this property and can’t wait to stay here again!

The house was excellent - I would definitely stay again! The layout was great and it was very clean. Debbie was also wonderful - the cleaning crew was done a little bit ahead and she let us know we'd be able to check in a little earlier than expected (which was very helpful). It's only about a 10 minute walk to the Balboa ferry and Fun Zone with a bunch of restaurant and dessert options. It was a great visit to Newport!

This is our second stay at the home and it’s just such a fantastic place to stay for our family. The location is perfect. It’s always so clean and has everything we need inside the home. There are so many beach toys for the kids and chairs for the adults. Communication with the owners is great and they’re extremely responsive. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We had the best time. A truly relaxing and peaceful time with my favorite people. The location couldn’t be better. The beach straight out from the home couldn’t be more ideal. Our family would 100% stay here again.

Perfect stay. Property exactly as described. Hosts have set everything up nicely for an easy, comfortable visit. Host offered early check in which was a nice surprise. Our family of five, including very young kids, had a great vacation, steps away from the beach. We can’t wait to come back! For future travelers, there is no washing machine (not advertised so we were aware) but when traveling with kiddos to a sandy location it would be a nice to have. There’s some great hooks outside so if you hand wash items you can easily dry.
This home is well loved, perfectly located and a true respite from day-to-day life. Highly recommend and so appreciative we were able to spend a few days this summer.

We had an amazing stay overall! The hosts were extremely detailed with directions and responded to all of our questions and concerns! The house was clean and exactly as shown in the pictures! The best part though was the location we could walk everywhere and the beach was steps away! We would stay again!

Great girls weekend in SoCal with childhood friends! The cottage was immaculate with all touches just right. Clean, appropriately updated and very, VERY close to the beach! We enjoyed an amazing show of dolphins and California Grey Whales swimming just 100 feet off shore! It was incredible and breathtaking! What a treat! The hosts were attentive and helped on a dime with a quick fix! The outside shower, beach chairs, toys and umbrella were just great! Would definitely recommend and would definitely come back!!
