This was our 9th year to stay at Kate's wonderful cottage at the beach. As always , she saw to our every need. We have made reservations to return in 2025 for our 10th visit.

We had the most amazing stay with our family of 4. Communication with the owner was great from the moment we booked. She truly goes out of her way to make sure guests are comfortable and enjoy their stay. The house had everything you could possible need and then some. We were even greeted with snacks, cute dog Christmas napkins and a welcome note. The home is steps from the beach access which we enjoyed daily. We also enjoyed the gas fire pit in the back courtyard. All of Newport was very busy, but this home tucked further down on Balboa Peninsula was very peaceful and parking was not a problem. I highly recommend it over staying on Balboa Island which was jammed with people. This is a place where wonderful memories with your family and friends can be made. We can't wait to come back!

Kate was so accommodating and attentive. We had an amazing stay with my elderly mom. Will definitely return.

Second time staying here and was just as great as the first time! Communication was great with property owner, everything was clean and set up perfectly! Will be staying here again!

We had a fantastic time at this property. The house really felt like a home, not just a rental. And we really appreciated how well stocked it was. We definitely hope to stay here again!

I will stay again! Neighborhood was very friendly and beach was great! Short walk to beach and used bikes to go to town.

We love this house and all the amenities it has especially the bikes! The beach gear is such a plus as well! Thanks Kate!!!

We really enjoyed our stay! Great location- close to the beach, Disney and short bike ride to restaurants and shops!

This is our fourth time renting from Kate. I love this trip. House is very comfortable, great patio, courtyard and steps away from a very quiet beach. Can't wait to go back.

First let me start off by saying for a small family, this is the perfect property. It has everything you need and then some! Kate is an incredible host, communicating everything, accommodating for any eventuality, and super responsive. My wife worked for VRBO for ten years and said this is exactly the type of property and host that you hope and dream for. By far the best VRBO experience we've had to date! I would not hesitate to visit Kate's cozy, well stocked, well maintained property. We will be back again for sure!!!

Another wonderful stay at a beautiful little cottage by the sea. Kate is a wonderful host and has always gone above and beyond to make our stay as easy and wonderful as ever. Thank you Kate for another wonderful year!

This is our 3rd visit to Surf’s Up cottage and we just love it here!! So close to the beach, such a clean home, and everything you need is already here. We love riding bikes to dinner, roasting s’mores in the backyard fire pit, and spending lazy days on the beach. Great memories with family!

Perfect as always! Look no further, this beach cottage has everything you need for your stay. Clean, quiet and great location. Kate is a 5 Star manager!

We had a great time at this property! Perfect neighborhood and the house was a great place to have family time. Loved all of it!!

Everything we wanted was here, from bikes to barbecues! A cosy and welcoming beach house.

Great location, easy access to the beach, great house overall! The house was spotless, had all the amenities you could want or think of for a family vacation. Kate was amazing to and easy to interact with. Our family will definitely be coming back to stay at this property!

The cottage was lovely, peaceful and felt so comfortable. The location was perfect and the hospitality incredible. Will definitely be back.

We loved staying here!! Our kids had fun playing the games, watching movies, bike rides, and all the beach toys and gear provided!! The outdoor firepit is amazing and we loved using the bbqs. Such a beautiful neighborhood literally steps from a beautiful beach with endless seashells for the kids to collect and explore. Very peaceful and family oriented place to stay. Kitchen had all we needed and more!! Will definitely be back!!

Kate is the best. Your will love this beach house. Always clean and well appointed. We come back every year and love it each time. Always hard to leave.

This was our 8th time to stay at Kate's "Slice of Paradise"! Was as Wonderful as our 1st . We have made reservations to return next year .

Awesome place!

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful property.

Absolutely delightful cottage in the perfect Newport Beach neighborhood. Loved everything about it.

Kate’s home has been a part of so many special events in our family. It is INCREDIBLY stocked with everything you need, steps from a peaceful section of the beach and feels like a home away from home. We look forward to staying here again in the near future ❤️

We had a fantastic time and the home was beautiful and steps from the beach, everything was perfect and Kate was wonderful to work with. She left out books for our girls, games, movies, and snacks. We will be back anytime we are back in the area!

We had a great trip with our teenage kids. The home shows true pride in ownership and is charming, welcoming, and very well maintained. Everything you need is provided for a great beach vacation. Proximity to the beach is wonderful, literally just steps away. Homes in the the surrounding neighborhood are also absolutely beautiful. My wife and I took walks through the neighborhood everyday. My daughter and I logged lots of beach front miles on the bikes provided by the owner. The owner, Kate, was great to work with. We would definitely return for another stay!

We consider this “our beach house.” We’ve visited 4 times and it feels like home. The amount of rest and relaxation we gain from our vacation at this property is truly incredible. It’s clean, it’s quaint, it’s perfect.

This was the perfect spot for our family of 4 to experience the ocean for the first time! The house was perfectly clean and stocked with everything we needed for home and the beach. Lots of restaurants nearby to visit or get delivery. We enjoyed the fire pit, and plenty of games, books and movies to occupy the evenings. The beach was pretty much empty in October. We hope to be back!

Kate's place is truly a slice of Paradise !

This house has everything you need! It’s a perfect and quiet location.

Surfs Up beach cottage welcomes you with a comfortable, unpretentious vibe. Mrs. Rhymer provides everything but your clothes and food. It's perfect for singles, families, or a group of friends. The owner is extremely accommodating. She makes your vacation a pure joy ... and what a beautiful, peaceful area!

It was wonderful! Great getaway!
