Rolling out to the beach with chairs, towels, and umbrellas already covered is such a nice way to travel light! Sounds like the bikes added some fun to the trip too. So happy the home kept everyone clean and comfortable, and thanks again for staying with us!

An open, roomy layout really does change how a home feels, so we're glad the space lived up to it and never felt crowded. It's wonderful to hear it was clean and modern with everything you needed on hand, and that our team was quick to answer any questions along the way.

Absolutely perfect location! Much less people on the beach at this end which made it even more enjoyable. And literally steps to the sand. And having a full size garage to yourself with beach toys, chairs, bikes, umbrella, balls. Just about everything needed. A definite must stay!

Steps to the sand with a quieter stretch of beach — hard to beat that! Thank you for the wonderful review. We're so glad the garage full of beach gear came in handy too; having chairs, bikes, and umbrellas ready to go makes beach days so much easier. We'd love to welcome you back anytime!

4/10 Poor

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Disliked: Listing accuracy
I was disappointed with the location and the condition of the surroundings. I originally expected the house to have at least some view of the ocean. However, the house faces in a direction where the ocean is completely out of sight. It is also very close to the neighboring houses, and the only view is essentially the walls of the neighboring homes.Most importantly, I was not informed that there was a house under construction right next to the property. Construction started as early as 7:00 am and continued throughout the day, which significantly affected our stay.Had I known about the nearby construction and the actual view and surroundings, I absolutely would not have rented this property. I felt the host did not ethically disclose this information.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry the nearby construction and the home’s setting made your stay less enjoyable than you had hoped. To help future guests plan, details about neighborhood construction hours are included in the home’s listing information, and your comments on the surroundings have been shared with the team responsible for the listing so the home’s setting is described as clearly as possible.

The property is conveniently located to a variety of restaurants and shopping. Easy access and parking with a perfect location near the beach Condo has bikes, beach toys, and chairs along with everything we needed inside as well. AvantStay was responsive and provided all needed information for the stay. It is a well run business with a clean, modern style and appeared as represented in photos.

Convenient location and nicely furnished

I stayed here for two nights with a co-worker for a business conference in Huntington Beach. The place was great! Only steps from the beach! Nicely furnished and convenient to everything. There was no parking included, but there was plenty of street parking. I only wish we could have stayed longer and played on the beach! I am definitely coming back with my family!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at O'Neill 1. The house is just steps from a stunning, peaceful beach. It was clean and well cared for and looks even better than the photos. The hosts were extremely welcoming, communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, checking in and generously accommodating our requests. Unfortunately, we had a Tsunami warning on our last night, and they reached out right away to ensure we were safe and informed. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

On the beach not 100% clean house

If you want to be close to the beach and don’t care about foot traffic and people coming in from all over California walking past the house all day long than this is for you. Not really a clean place either

In town for college visits...

We were in town for college visits and it was located in a perfect location for us. We also wanted a good location for surfing. This property is awesome. Had everything we needed....beach is great as well. Property has bikes to use and is on a bike path to shops and restaurants. If you did not have access to the garage, parking would be an issue. Property management company was always accessible and helpful. Had some hiccups while securing the property and with a hot water issue but it was addressed and taken care of. Highly recommend this property. It is exactly as it appears online.

CA DREAMING

Rental anticipated everything. Such great amenities, with a stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, linens and decor that makes you want to hang out inside. You'll be beach ready with chairs, towels, even coolers. They thought of everything, especially for families with great games and the bunk room. Location was perfection, walk right out to the dunes. Biking to Newport, Balboa Island or Huntington was a breeze. No need for a car. We did have to rent our kids bikes, maybe something to add on in the future ??? Left wishing we could stay another day, or two, or three. We'll definitely be back.

Beach Break

Our family stayed in this unit for a long weekend and had a blast. We loved walking a few steps to the beach and playing in the surf for hours. The unit had bikes, beach toys, chairs and towels, so it was easy and fun! Newport Beach can be loud but this area at the edge of town is a little more private and fairly quiet but it’s not secluded. But the location is perfect, we could walk to get coffee and food nearby and the airport and Disneyland are around 30 mins away. it was fun to ride the bikes down the boardwalk and there’s so much to do in Newport Beach for all ages. There is also a little park adjacent to the unit, and it was great to have a garage with parking as it can be tough in that area.

Great house

What a great house! This house was fully functional and had everything we needed! All bedding, bath towels, bath accessories, cooking supplies were provided. Bikes were provided for us to use (which is normally and extra cost.) and you have a garage to park your oversized vehicle (Yukon XL). Check in was a breeze, I received an email the day before with a code for everything. Beds were super comfy, showers were oversized. The beach is one house away so very close and easy to get to. My son was injured the week before our stay and was in a wheelchair... this house is also 100% handicap accessible which was a bonus! We will definitely be back next year.

Perfect family spot!

The house was perfect! Location was 20 steps to beach. Fully stocked with beach chairs, umbrella, sane toys, beach games, boogie boards and plenty of beach towels! Made going to the beach so enjoyable! The beach cruiser bikes were a blast! I’m a mid 40’s mom with my teens. They got me riding to breakfast and around at night. So fun! House was clean! Washer and dryer great addition! We even stayed an extra night than originally planned and booked! Would definitely recommend and would love to stay again! All small details thought of.

Difficult to communicate

Renting was easy, it was the process afterwards. The email for check in says to do one thing, the text says another. Door codes and wifi are different in every communication. That is frustrating. When we got to the property the water was shut off to the entire house. There was also a lot of construction going on around us. The rug in the front room is stained and filthy. The bedrooms are well lit, even at night which makes sleeping difficult, especially for my child. It was close to the beach but the sandy part of the beach was huge so it was quite a walk to the ocean.
