Located just a half-block from the beach, you’ve found vacation paradise with this fully updated, dog- and family-friendly duplex. Spend days on the sand, soaking up that SoCal sun, head inland and play 18 holes at a nearby golf course, or watch for wildlife at Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve, a little under six miles away. Shopping, dining, bars, cafés, and other amenities are just a few minutes’ drive.
At home, start the day with some coffee and the sea breeze on the patio, watching the world go by. Inside, you’ll find a bright, airy living space that seamlessly combines the living room, dining area, and sleek, modern kitchen. Don your chef’s hat and impress family and friends with culinary creations courtesy of the sleek stainless steel appliances and gleaming quartz countertops, then sit down for a meal together at the window-front table. Each bedroom features an en suite bathroom, plus there is an additional guest bathroom. Ceiling fans in the great room and bedrooms offer added comfort during your stay.
After a day on the sand, get comfy on one of the plush sofas and watch a bit of TV or check up on your social media accounts with the free WiFi. Keep dinner simple on the gas grill, then call it a night in one of three serene bedrooms. The Newport Beach vacation you’ve been dreaming of awaits - all that’s left to do is book.

Great location. Easy communication with property manager. Clean enough for a beach house. Only negative was the beds were not comfortable. I would pick a different place next time because of the beds.

Great location
This house is right across the street from the beach and only a short walk to stores and restaurants. The furniture and kitchen amenities could use an update but you can’t beat the location. It is also nice to have 4 full bathrooms.

Liked: Check-in, location
Amenities that are provided are "well used" to say the least. Furniture is stained. We had to endure a roof leak when it rained (we were on the first floor!). No can opener provided. And, the sliding glass door/screen door entry is terrible.

Amazing family vacation!
This house was in a great location and was perfect for our family of 6. It was very clean, and had plenty of towels and dishes and everything you would hope for in a vacation house. We were very happy with our stay!
Excellent stay. The property exceeded our expectations. Very well appointed. Updated and modern. Would stay here again!

Listen to the waves
It was even closer to the beach than I expected. I could walk outside and hear the waves, which was amazing! Great walking neighborhood.
Great location, great property overall. Each bedroom having its own bathroom was such a perk and then to have an extra one was such a surprise! One of the showers was tiny but my little kids used it and thought it was fun being their size. Being just half a block from the beach was great. The property was clean other than the garbage disposal had rotten food in it that was collecting multiple flies and making it smell when we first checked in. We cleaned it out and it got much better. The front door is a slider that has broken blinds which isn’t the most convenient but it wouldn’t stop me from staying here again. Great beach chairs and toys for the kids as well! We rented this property after the original one we rented ended up being a total failure and filthy and we were so much happier here!

Thank you so much for sharing your detailed feedback. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the great location and appreciated the convenience of each bedroom having its own bathroom, plus the extra one as a bonus. It’s wonderful that your little ones had fun with the smaller shower. We are sorry to hear about the issue with the garbage disposal upon your arrival and the broken blinds on the front door slider. We appreciate you bringing these to our attention, and we will be sure to pass your comments along to our local team so they can address these concerns promptly. It’s fantastic to know that the beach chairs and toys added to your family’s enjoyment, and that our home was a much better experience after your previous stay. We truly value your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable beach getaway.

Great location!
We’ve stayed at this house a couple times. The location is perfect! Away from the bigger crowds and right by the beach. The house has lots of bathrooms which is awesome! The beds are not comfortable so it took several days to be able to sleep decent till we could get used to them but that is common with beach houses. We loved all of the towels and beach towels, and the ironing board and iron. The fridge is nice and big. Loved the big patio to put all of our beach stuff and bikes we brought. Would definitely stay here again.
House was great big and plent my of space. So close to beach. About 1.5 Mille walk to balboa. Do able but would recommend having bikes.
We brought a gas fire pit for patio and it worked great.
Loved the location.. just steps from sand… could hear the ocean from front patio… great neighborhood… Clean place with nice shower amenities (shampoo, conditioner, body soap.. lots of clean towels for shower, lots of beach towels… Screen slider on main door needs to be replaced.. doesn’t slide very well and makes it difficult to open and shut…My biggest gripe is that the unit doesn’t have cable TV which was a BIG disappointment.. I didn’t realize it until I called the property management to get assistance on how to figure out the remote and get it on TV mode. that’s when they told me There wasn't cable only internet

We appreciate your review regarding your stay and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the absence of Cable TV. We can see here that this is not included in the amenity of the home, however we consider your feedback as means to improve the home. We do hope we will have another chance to host your stay next time.
The property location is excellent; our favorite thing about this place! You should know it is managed by Vacasa, so after you book with vrbo, you'll get communication from Vacasa. There are plenty of rooms, beds, and bathrooms. Bed comfort is ok, but if you love a one-minute walk to the beach, it's a great trade-off. There were two things that kept me from reviewing 5 stars: the entry way and couches. The main entry way is a sliding glass door covered by blinds; both are hard to manage and require gentle handling yet assertive tugs to open and close. This is not convenient for guests if it's the only entry point. The couches were dirty and not suitable for comfort and resting. This is disappointing because no one wanted to sit on the couches, which were a huge part of the sitting area. Other than that, the location is truly what makes this property a gem... so close to the beach!

We loved staying here. It was clean and had great proximity to the beach. We didn’t realize there was a 4th bathroom when we booked so that was a nice surprise. There were fans in the closets which were great to get some air moving. Some things that we thought would make this place the best at ever would be making sure there was a good broom in the unit. No one likes sand all over the floors and it would be nice if we could clean up after ourselves. A TV added in the other bedrooms would also be nice. Other than that you can’t really beat this place. We’ve stayed in almost every rental in Newport, staying here once or twice a year for the last 20 years. We definitely would like to stay here again. Unfortunately I tried to book for next year and the price was hiked up over $600 than what I payed. Pretty bummed about that since it’s over our budget. Had a great time though.
We were very happy with our stay at this property. It was very clean and spacious. I love the fact that is was the ground floor. Every room has a bathroom one of the bathroom showers was tiny! lol but we thought it was super creative. The house does have some wear and tear, but that is to be expected. Such as the blinds falling apart but that comes with the territory of renting the space to different people. No AC, but we had a nice breeze from outside and the home supplied plenty of fans for the rooms and area. Parking was good for us we got pretty blessed each time we needed to park outside of the one stall. Washer and dryer great and happy we didn’t have to pay to wash. Bonus and the best part, we were super close to the beach! We loved it!
My family and I would definitely stay here again.
Our stay was good. House was clean, but no inside mats for the doors or kitchen. We used our beach towels and shook it out daily. It is really necessary for the sand and when we were there it rained. It said there was laundry but we did not have it in our unit. The master bedroom has a really creaky bed. Kept us up anytime either of us moved. Needs a boxspring. Kitchen is minimum on the supplies - 3 bedroom house (says for 6 ) but only 4 plates. No spatulas. We had to use wood tools and that were not good for the job. We had no dish towels, asked vacasa for those and towels for the hall bath that had nothing. Said they would deliver... but they never came. We were there for 5 days. Looked like recently updated they just missed some of the essentials to make it a #10 stay.
