We would absolutely stay here again!

The cottage was cute, clean and the perfect size and location for our needs! Garage was a huge plus as street parking is limited. We felt safe walking to/from the beach and to local restaurants. The provided beach towels and wash basin right out the front door were so helpful also. The host was extremely proactive in communicating changes (unplanned street work) and even repaired the washing machine on a holiday. We would absolutely stay here again!

This house was great for me and my two girls for our fall break. the house was just as pictured. the bathrooms were the nicest part. ha. We had issues with the door and the lock the first day ( i got locked out and i had to wake my girls to come open the door for me). Management was super quick to come fix it which was nice. the one complaint I have is COIN OPERATED laundry. I think it's pretty lame actually. I like to pack light on vacation and having laundry available is huge. I think it should just be part of the fees you're paying when you rent a house. the location was great.

Cute little cottage, central location

This house was perfect for me and my two teenaged girls. Great to have a second bathroom, the beds were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything one would need. I was pleasantly surprised that there was even Tupperware for storage. Plenty of linens and all of the necessities from home that you may need. They did have a vacuum, but it was quite large and a little broom would have been nice to quickly sweep up sand. The property company sent plenty of good information beforehand re: check in, location, property rules, etc. Everything was very by the book, so much so that there were even rules about about who was allowed to be in the house at one time, which seemed odd to me, although I understand they are just watching out for their properties. Check in was 3-5 pm and not a minute sooner...I arrived at 2:50 pm in a waiting ride share and was told I had to wait outside 10 minutes until they would allow check in. Although making my ride share wait was a bit stressful, they were friendly, fast and efficient once they allowed people in to check in. In all of my years of renting in Newport, at least 2 dozen houses, I've never had to go to a different location to pick up AND drop off the keys. It's a bit of an inconvenience in todays world of Uber / Lyft, but that was the only negative of the whole experience. Otherwise, great house, great location, very comfortable and pleasant stay!

Newport Beach Getaway

This beachy vintage cottage was charming, updated, clean, great location and perfect for our family for a 5 day getaway. Equipped with everything we needed. Super easy walk to beach, and only a few blocks to great restaurants and shopping in Lido Marina. Had parking space in garage but street parking wasn't very difficult, even on a holiday weekend. Check in and check out process was easy. The property management company was great, on top of it, followed up with texts and emails to make sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this place and we would definitely come back!

Great Property, but an unreasonable check out.....

We had a very early flight out, and wish we were given a clearer picture of what all we had to do before leaving the property. Didn't get an email until the day before, and obviously on vacation one does NOT look at email too often. We've never stayed somewhere that required so much of it's guests upon departure! When we saw the email late on our last night, we realized it would be necessary to get up extra, extra early to make sure dishwasher was clean AND all dishes put away. And a completely clean refrigerator? That was a new one. Additionally, it was not clear which trash bins in the alley we were to use, so hopefully we didn't upset a neighbor. We may have chosen a different spot (or AT LEAST planned cleaning time for our last day) if all of the requirements were more clearly explained before we booked.
