It was good overall, but I would say they should’ve had one more bedroom for the price that we paid, but I did think it was a really nice spot and it was pretty clean

It is absolutely beautiful and the views- of the harbor, ferry, boats, fun zone- are wonderful! It is close to everything- food, shops, activities- both land and sea! -, and easy walking distance to beach! Good communication with Host.Just had a few issues (sliding glass doors locking mechanism fail, hot water fail(cold shower!), fire place fail, no carafe for coffee maker, freezer access handle fail, missing cabinet doorknob, very narrow and difficult access to king size bed on one side-I’m petite and could barely manage!)…

Beautiful location

We had a great experience staying at this property. We opened all of the sliding glass doors and windows and were able to enjoy the bay breeze. It also had AC to make for a very comfortable night's sleep.

Amazing waterfront home

Front half of a great bayside waterfront home in Newport Beach easily handles 3 couples in en suite bedrooms with an additional loft upstairs with a Murphy bed. Two king suites with an additional queen suite all with stunning main room views on each floor. Quiet neighborhood only 4 blocks to the beach. Easy to access restaurants and marinas and freeways to other areas surrounding LA. Management company very responsive to inquiries Only issue was a glitch with my VRBO linkage to accessing the virtual Check-in Definitely want to return soon!

Nice location and view

All good great view. But they have a noise control device and a spa.. for both reasons they barge into.the house without notice, my kids were sleepimg only in bedroom. Property managemwnt told me they can anytime and you need to opt.out if you dont want a stranger opening the door unanoinced. I would never go back very dangerous situation

We appreciate your feedback, and we're glad to hear you enjoyed the great view at our property. However, we'd like to clarify a few points: We do have a noise control device as stated on the listing. This device is in place to ensure a peaceful and enjoyable environment for all our guests and neighbors. We want to make it clear that we never entered the unit unannounced. Our intention was to reconnect the noise-aware device that you unplugged even though it was noted in the rules it should not be disconnected at any time. We attempted to contact you through several texts, emails, and calls before coming to the unit, as we respect your privacy and understand the importance of providing notice before entering. We apologize for any misunderstanding and any inconvenience this may have caused. Your feedback is important to us, and we will use it to ensure better communication and service in the future. We hope this clarifies the situation, and we appreciate your understanding.

Couples Get Away

The home was wonderful and had plenty of room for a group of 6 adults. We did cook every night so the kitchen was a little tight if you really like to cook, but we made it work. It had most of the kitchen products we liked, but I would bring some storage items if you like leftovers to eat the next day. We loved playing games on the 2nd level, and we loved the location and views day & night. We enjoyed opening all the doors each night as we cooked. We did not use the advertised hot tub due to the fact that it did not have enough water, was not clean, nor had any chemicals in it. Sort of a bummer for 2 in our group. We had two cars which there was room for, but very very tight to pull in and out. Would stay again, if we go back to Newport!

The house was beautifully appointed and in a lovely location right on the Balboa Bay. We walked most locations while there.One big problem with the property (as it related to staying there with kids) was very unreliable internet. My kids are 4-10 years old, and to wind down in the evening we wanted to turn on a movie. The internet was regularly failing. I was able to connect a TV to my phone’s wireless hotspot, but that works for a single TV, so everyone has to be in the central room. If you’re staying there with people who all have their own devices I’m sure it’s fine. The cleaners were late getting out, preventing us from accessing the property until about 30 minutes after our scheduled check-in time. VRBO compensated us for this, but it definitely made getting in stressful (4 kids in the car for 6 hours, you can imagine).Overall the property was very nice, it was wonderful to be able to open the bay-facing doors, but for the price I was pretty frustrated with the experience. For over 1,000 a night, my expectation is that things are seamless, and they really were not.

The construction in the neighborhood has created problems for Spectrum and we are sorry that it affected your stay. This property has excellent wifi usually. Of course, our cleaning crew places a premium on prepping the property at our high standards of cleanliness, but usually we meet those standards timely. I'm sorry we were not done and that our team did not welcome you into the home at your appointed time. That is our protocol that guests can access even if we are not done with the cleaning. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and appreciated this fantastic property.

The home is lovely and in a great location. Parts of the home were not in good working order; the downstairs BBQ electric lighter was not working, so you had to use a lighter, that also did not work so we had to buy a lighter to use the BBQ; the cable was not connected which was u known to us and the hosts answered were the same as the instructions and took several hours to both respond and then to trouble shoot; several showers did not work well, on connector fell off the shower wall and both rain showers dribbled rather then provided the shower experience. The home was difficult to navigate for people with mobility issues, that should be noted in the description.
