We had a wonderful stay. My only complaint is there was a musty smell, maybe this is usual with the close proximity to the ocean.Communication regarding payment was challenging but eventually resolved. Communication about the loose cable making noise during the night was also a bit challenging but again was resolved satisfactorily. Thanks for a great spot to celebrate with my sisters.

Overall a really great place to stay! You cannot beat the location. The view from the property is absolutely gorgeous! Kitchen was well stocked and allowed us to cook full meals easily. There could be a few improvements like new towels and having body soap/shampoo in all bathrooms but in general I would come again!

Amazing Beach Access

This VRBO was perfect for our family's needs. The beach access was amazing, and it was a short walk to some cute little shops. We traveled with our kids, 4 of them adults and the house had enough space to spread out. The living/gathering area was perfect for games and meals, and the view was amazing.

Most everything was good. My family and I loved the location. The house was nice. My only complaint was I asked that the outside grill be checked as we were bbq on Thanksgiving Eve. Well not only was the grill dirty, but only one side worked. Cooking for a group took a lot longer than expected. But we survived. The bathroom shower door in the double bedroom, fell on my granddaughter. Came off the slide thing. My husband put it back on, but didn’t let anyone use it after that. The other shower doors were hard to slide. We kept them open. Sort of a safety issue. But overall it was good stay. Thank you

The location of this property is absolutely amazing, with a beautiful ocean-front view. We truly enjoyed biking along the boardwalk every day and taking relaxing walks to Balboa Village — the setting really made our stay special.The house offers plenty of space, which was great for our group, although it could benefit from some refreshing updates.We stayed at another property just a few doors down earlier this year, and they provided thoughtful extras like beach towels and beach chairs, which made a big difference and were very much appreciated. In comparison, this house offers very limited additional amenities.Our main concern was the washer and dryer operating on a coin system. One of the reasons we choose vacation homes is for the convenience, especially for longer stays. We stayed for nine nights, and having to find and use quarters for laundry felt inconvenient and somewhat discouraging. It wasn’t about the cost — it was more about the added hassle during what’s meant to be a relaxing vacation.Overall, the location is truly wonderful, but a few updates and added conveniences would greatly improve the guest experience.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback. We’re so glad you enjoyed the oceanfront location, boardwalk biking, and easy walks to Balboa Village — the setting truly is something special. We appreciate your comments regarding amenities, updates, and the coin-operated washer and dryer. This information is disclosed prior to booking, but we understand how it can feel less convenient during a longer stay. Your feedback is valuable and will be shared with our team as we continue to evaluate ways to enhance the guest experience. Thank you again for staying with us, and we appreciate your perspective.

Lots of room

The condo is very spacious. We were a party of 7. Never felt we were in each others way. We enjoyed the large dining table and large comfortable sofa. The beds were comfortable. Lots of water pressure and hot water. Off street parking is a real plus in this neighborhood. Wifi service was a little spotty. Easy check in and check out.

Great space, great location, needs some updates

Positives- great large space, plenty of beds and baths for a large group of people. Excellent location with walkability to activities. Negatives- no beach towels (they are offered at an additional “rental” fee), beds/linens need upgrading especially for the ratw, too many checkout rules.

Chelsea, thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed the location and the space. We do apologize that the bed linens were not satisfactory and we will definitely make note of that. Majority of beach rentals don't provide beach equipment. Sometimes we have beach equipment left over from previous guests which we do leave in the homes. It is also very common to have basic check out rules like the ones we have, but we are sorry that this was an issue for you. We hope that despite these minor inconveniences, that you still enjoyed your stay in Newport with us and we hope to welcome you back again.

The rooms were certainly not clean. There was trash under the sofa. The fridge was extremely noisy and kept us up till 2:30am one night. Under the fridge was disgusting. We had to clean drawer liners in a bedroom. There were ants all over the kitchen floor. The furniture was dated as was most of the apartment. Lights did not work. The bathroom fan did not work. The sliding patio doors did not move easilly. The door handle was broken off and the door threshold had not been cleaned in years. Water came through the bottom of one of the windows and into an electrical outlet and onto the floor. The small apartment front door threshold is rotten. Some lamps were rusty. The listing had been creatively done and the photos were deceiving. The view was great.

Stay In This Property If You Get The Opportunity!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the location: steps to the sand, pier, restaurants, bars, and fun zone!. The Airbnb ad was a little misleading - it implied whole house so, when we found out we were on the second floor only, and did not have the patio for our toddler to play on, we were a little disappointed. But, everything else was exactly as advertised. The unit was clean, comfortably accommodated our group of 7, and the deck offers an awesome view of the beach, ocean, and sunsets. We offer our endorsement of this property and NBVP without hesitation.

Lots of Sleeping Space for Large Family!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time at this vacation rental. We have large family of 16 with grandparents and grandkids so we struggle to find room for everyone to sleep. We rented both middle and bottom units and even had room for some friends to spend the night. My only negative feedback is out of the owners hands as this part of Newport/Balboa is known for its large waves that break on the shore. Not great for young kids - so we had to drive down to Blackys and go walk over to the bay for safer swimming. Other than than - this place was very well stocked, clean with comfy beds. We had a great time!
