This was perfect for my week in Newport Beach. Very well located close to the waterfront and the beach, well equipped and in a super quiet neighbourhood. Loved being able to walk or ride my bike everywhere. I’ll definitely stay here again and refer friends and family.

Stayed for our honeymoon

Working with Kathy was very easy. The condo was very clean and even had chocolates awaiting us. A very short walk to the beach and condo sits on the bay side. We would highly recommend staying here. Also renting bicycles instead of a car was the way to go!

Clean and Cozy

This was the perfect location for us while attending a regatta at the Yacht Club close by. We were within easy walking distance to the venue and plenty of options for dining close by. Kathy was super sweet checking in on us and we couldn't have felt more at home. From the personal note, chocolates and bubbly to the comfortable accommodations and clean space, we highly recommend this location!
