You may contact them if you ever have a question.Also, the location is perfect…. Close to the ocean, shopping, restaurants and grocery stores.We have vacationed at The Dock the last few years and will continue to do so because this not only a great place, but the owners really care.

Great stay!

Great spot close to the beach and walking distance to plenty of restaurants and bars. Holly met us at the house when we checked in. She gave us some ideas of places to check out in the area and made sure we were all squared away with the necessary info for the house. Clean and comfortable spot with plenty of space to hangout. Nice area with friendly neighbors. Would definitely stay here again!

I'd give it 11 stars if I could

I loved this place! The reviews are accurate. The host was wonderful, communicative, and helpful. The property was beautiful, clean, and well-kept. I loved the location—not too close to the high-summer beach crowds, but not too far for a quick walk to the sand. I'd move in if I could figure out how to do it. Thanks for a great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Holly Wetherholt

Host profile image
Our family has called Newport Beach home for more than 25 years. We personally manage the property and live a few blocks away. Close enough when you need us and far enough away for your privacy.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of the location, location, location! We like to be able to park our car and walk places. Everything you need is conveniently located within a short walk. Our family loves the beach and the bay. Whenever life gets too hectic, a little walk with a beautiful sunset puts everything into perspective.

What makes this property unique

The Dock is the back unit of a Newport Beach classic duplex situated in a great community. You will never run out of places to go or things to do in the local area.
