Welcome to this 2-bedroom, 1-bath, 1-story, 900 sq. ft. home right on the sand in Newport Beach with no boardwalk in front of it. This is the lower level unit in a 2-unit complex. (Both units can be rented simultaneously - please see NB-420AB or contact our Reservations Team for details.) This compound sleeps 9 comfortably in beds. SLP13354 TOT 10% 3 Night Minimum
This home sports a beachside patio - accessible from the great room - with a gas barbecue, a comfortable seating cluster, a fire pit, and an outside dining table for 4-6. A comfortable, beach chic decorated living room has a wall-mounted TV and a large seating cluster from which to enjoy it and the ever-present view.
There is a dining area for 4-6 and a modern kitchen that has all the amenities and appliances so all you need do is add the food and the camaraderie and have fun.
There are 2 bedrooms - one with a queen bed and a 2nd bedroom with 3 twin beds, so this home sleeps 5 in beds. There is 1 shared modern bath with a shower/tub combination. All bed and bathrooms are furnished with a generous supply of premiere linens to ensure you are comfortable at all times.
Again, if you need more space you can also rent NB-420B (above) which has 1 queen bed and 2 additional twin beds so 4 can sleep comfortably in this rear unit.
Additional amenities include WIFI and cable, beach towels, beach chairs and umbrellas, and a washer and dryer in the garage. A basic supply of paper and soap products are also included.
There is one car garage parking for this unit, and this unit parks on the left. The garage is from the 1960s, so it's neither tiny nor huge.
This simple, but very adequate home, will make a great home base to return to after your day’s adventures. And you may very likely create some memories that will last a life time.

We loved the location. The house is nice, but it needs a better queen mattress and fans in the bedrooms since there no AC.

Hi K'Lee. Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the location and found the house nice. We appreciate your suggestions regarding the mattress and the need for fans in the bedrooms, especially with no AC. Your comments have been shared with the team for review as we work to improve guest comfort.
We had a wonderful stay at this VRBO! The home was spotless, beautifully furnished, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. The location was perfect—peaceful and private, yet close enough to explore the surrounding area with ease. The host was incredibly responsive and made the check-in process seamless. One of our favorite parts was relaxing on the patio and enjoying the serene views—such a great way to start and end each day. We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality, well-maintained vacation rental!

Great view
The view and proximity to the beach was amazing. The place is older but I found furnishings to be comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed.
Main bed was not good, too soft and folded inwards. The house needs to upgrade desk fans or install bedroom fans. The house gets really hot due to no open windows to allow breeze from the ocean. They should think about installing a security screen door on the two doors to allow them to stay open for the breeze

Great location
This is an older property , but they do keep it clean and have made updates. We have been coming here for 13 year and we really have a great time. If you do have anything that goes wrong they are very good about sending some one to fix it. The work men are always very polite and efficient.

Fabulous view, neighborhood and delicious local food! The only problem was with the tenants in the upstairs unit. We made the mistake of not reporting the problem right away and it ended up escalating out of control. We won't make that mistake again, sometimes it doesn't pay to be nice.

Perfect Location
This little beach house is situated on a lovely stretch with stunning views of sunsets, surfers and dolphins. Its a 2.5km beach walk to the Newport pier where there is a fabulous breakfast/ sandwich shop - it was a wonderful morning routine to stroll down. The house itself was clean and well suited to a family and had everything we needed. It was dated and could use some TLC, but worked well for our family. I wish the outdoor patio cushions had been stored inside or in a garden box between guests, there had been a huge rain the day before we arrived and the cushions were soaking wet and covered in sand and unusable for our stay.

Right on the beach!
The best thing is the location directly on the beach!
But, the house is very dated. And very hot in August. Bathroom needs to be updated as the tile and grout looks very dirty. The white shower curtain was too short so there was always water on the floor. I pulled a huge hair clog out of the bathroom sink. A few items in kitchen cupboards had leftover food on them. It would gave been nice to have laundry detergent and items like aluminum foil, baggies.
Management was very responsive when we called about the homeless man in the garage. They had all the codes changed very quickly.
If you need to be on the beach, you will be ok with this property. If you also want a really nice rental, you might keep looking…

We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to enhance your experience in the future. Thank you for your insights, and we wish you all the best in your future travels!
There is nothing like waking up with a view of the ocean!
This property was pretty much as described in the listing. The location was great. I was happy to be on the strip of Newport Beach with no boardwalk in front of the house. My kids loved waking up and running right out to the sand to play volleyball. My only complaint was that the fire table was broken and it was unseasonably chilly. I tried to reach out to Vacasa and but I never actually talked to a human being. We were there for 3 days and no one followed up to my text messages. Also, the garage is quite small...if you are renting a car, be mindful that it might not fit if it is bigger than a smaller SUV. Overall it was a great few days, and it was comfortable for me, my husband and our 3 kids (6,7,10).

THE REAL STORY
We have stayed here every February for 6 years. We have dealt with at least 3 different rental companies and this company was not very helpful. I had a small SUV but the other renter had a HUMONGOUS SUV and complained because he didn't have enough room. First bedroom has no dresser mirror, second dresser mirror is hung too low. The shower curtain and liner are mildewed. Yuck. The beds are old and lumpy and do not have fitted sheets. The flat sheets barely covered the mattresses. The black dust ruffle is filthy as are the ceiling fans in the great room. It would have been nice to have TV and microwave (since it was new) instruction's. Don't think we'll return.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 June 2023
Scott, thanks for staying with us! We apologize for the cleanliness issues you experienced during your stay as well as the issues with the neighbor. The shower curtains were replaced the the home has undergone a deep clean, including the fan. The home is equipped with a TV and microwave. While we acknowledge that beds will not suit everyone's specific preferences, we regret that it was not suitable for your party. We launder all linens between each guest, and we regret any discomfort you may have had. We are happy to promptly address issues as they arise and encourage our guests to call our 24-hour Guest Services line to provide our local staff the opportunity to address any concerns. We value your communication, and hope we have another opportunity to better impress you in the future!
Overall everything was great about this house. Location was perfect. The bed set up was good, especially if you are a family traveling with children since there are 3 twin beds in bedroom #2. The only complaint we had was that the firepit outside did not work. This was hugely disappointing. They did send a maintenance person out but all he did was confirm that it wasn’t working. So, we had no firepit to use when sitting outside and it was pretty chilly when we were there. This was one reason we picked this house, thinking it would be fun to sit outside at night. Instead we ended up staying indoors. Hopefully they fix or replace it.
Be aware that the house next door is RIGHT next to the bedroom window. We wanted to open the window at night but there was a huge group staying next to us and they were walking in and out the door that was directly in front of the window. We pretty much had to keep it closed all week. Lots of parties going on around us but it was to be expected since it was Spring Break.

Doesn't live up to the pictures
I was pretty disappointed in this house. The pictures made it seem amazing. Many of the cushions and pillows are different than the pictures. There is also not as many chairs and sand activities that they show. Everything was dirty and not taken care of. Its obvious they dont care about the disrepair of it. They just want to make money from renting it. The bathtub curtain is too short, water goes everywhere. The tub had no drain plug, so no bath for my kids. It was also disgusting around every sink and drain in the place. There is a crazy amount of rust that has onviously been neglected for a long time. Very dangerous when it is all over the house. The pillows had stains. The carpet had stains. The dressers are very old and drawers don't open nicely. The beds had sheets that felt lik sandpaper and my kids even complained about them. The fridge is obviously being surfaced cleaned. The ice trays had frozen ice with stuff in it??? Like dirt or food. The light on the microwave doesnt work. Old school coffee maker. No dish soap in the kitchen. Very small windows in the 2 bedrooms and bathroom that open. Otherwise, no air flow. Was the view great? Sure. Would I stay here again? No.

Jennifer, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are disheartened to read you were disappointed with your stay and apologize for the areas you found needing some TLC. Our local manager assured us that an onsite team will address the rust and a new chair, pillows, and shower curtain have been ordered. A tub stop was delivered to the home and the ice maker was addressed. We appreciate your feedback as we view it as an opportunity to improve and we hope to have the chance to provide a much-improved experience in the future.

I have never felt the need to leave a review until using Vacasa. The home itself was pretty good. The kitchen has been remodeled but does have older appliances. No ice maker so just plan accordingly. There was a coffee maker but the carafe was missing so we couldn’t make coffee. I called Vacasa to request resolution for this and they said someone would bring one. No one ever followed up and we never got the coffee pot.
The house doesn’t have AC. It was 90 degrees in the house when we arrived. With the use of the fans and keeping the windows open it definitely helped and the nights weren’t too bad. We were also told by Vacasa they would provide a couple more fans since it was so hot and again, no one ever followed up and we never received any additional fans.
Also, be aware, the house is on an a small side road that is also a beach entrance. But otherwise, the beach front location did outweigh all the other things.
The only other drawback was that about half of the house was carpet. Very odd for a beach front house and since the house got so humid with no air, the carpet always felt sticky and had a smell to it.
Again, it’s not all bad. The queen size bed was super comfortable.
I was just pretty disappointed since the price tag was so high. And even after we called, the company just didn’t seem to care.
Once more thing, we were expecting the games to be there that are pictured. This was one of the reasons we thought it would be a cool place to stay. No corn hole boards and no ladder ball. (The ladder was there, but no balls to go with it)
Just want the next person to rent to be aware of what you are getting.

What a wonderful place to stay. It was nice and clean. Such a relaxing location. Because there was no bike/walking path right in front we didn’t have the Lookee Lewers gawking in. They are pretty set on their check in time which wasn’t a big deal. I will be definitely staying there again.

Awesome view on the sand and great house!
My wife, myself and our 8 year old daughter just stayed at Seascape I from Saturday, July 16th through Saturday, July 23rd! We had a great time!
The place is pretty spacious for a 2 bedroom 1 bath beach house. The kitchen had all the appliances and utensils needed. There were plenty of towels and beach towels for use also. Everything was very clean when we arrived also. We loved the view from the patio and enjoyed the fire pit at night also. There were also some beach toys left over that our daughter used as well as a few beach chairs and an umbrella that we shared with the unit above the garage. The garage was enough space for two vehicles (one for each unit).
The best part was being right on the sand and close to the ocean also, not having to walk so far to reach the water. It was very quiet in the evening also.
We had a great time overall and will be booking this house again.
