The host was welcoming, amenities as advertised. Approximately 1mike to grocery store and coffee shop. The beach was only a few blocks away. Airport was a short uber ride. Will be back

Absolutely horrible stay. Under construction the entire stay. Saws going hammering, dirty floor, .i was extremely upset and sad because it was my sons wedding and no rest. Garage parking was blocked, water shut off.. complete nightmare. And no compensation of any real apology.. we are beyond upset with this rental.

Our stay overall was good. Location is great.Unit was a little tired and worn. Rugs were very dirty. Believe the detailed description and bring almost everything with you. No condiments at all and or napkins and sandwich bags.Need more bedding for cool nights and plates and cups, no mugs were pretty beat up. Also some towel rack would be very helpful. Pretty sad that on top of the fees they want to charge you for toddler sand toys.Check in and out was very easy and communication was very good.

We had a fantastic time
House was clean with a beautiful view to the canal and steps from the beach. good communication with host. We had a fantastic time.
Overall we enjoyed our stay. Great location, quick walk to beach and close to restaurants. The unit was cute and spacious, with a a nice kitchen. However, for the price point, I think some of the furnishings should be updated and the patio could use some attention/remodeling.

Condo was as described. The beds were comfortable and location was very convenient. I do think the patio furniture could use some new cushions and rugs could be cleaned. Overall I would stay here again, kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed. Loved the easy access to the beach.

Perfect for a family of seven!
The condo was so inviting and clean! We enjoyed making meals and enjoying them in the dining room overlooking the canal. Walk to the beach was quick and easy! Beds were comfortable. If we visit Newport Beach again we will be coming back to your perfect place!
Our stay was great. Walking distance to the beach and food. Only downside is the parking and the wifi. If you’re using the internet for anything but wifi on your phone it’s worthless. The beds were comfortable, the home was clean and 3 nice rooms. Would stay again.
