This apartment is in a quiet neighborhood close to the ocean and the bike/walking path that will take you to the pier, restaurants, and shops. It's very comfortable and we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay, including beach towels and chairs. Loved the shared patio, too!

A great, affordable option in a less-than-affordable area! I was in town for work, the property was just what I needed and the hosts were responsive. GREAT location, quiet. If you are going to spend a lot of time out of the apartment, this is the perfect choice.

Great location

Great place for our weekend get away. Enjoyed the ease of parking which can be hard in a coastal town, great price and location nestled between the ocean and bay. Walkable to all the sites, restaurants and stores. Would stay again, as we plan on doing this trip yearly now.

Wonderful Stay in Newport Beach

We stayed here for two weeks in March. It is conveniently located in the middle of the peninsula, about half way between the piers and halfway between the ocean and the bay. We had a wonderful time.
