This house is beautiful! We especially enjoyed use of the dock, the well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, beautiful living/dining room, easy and nice TV for evening movies and outdoor seating area and fire table. We also greatly appreciated the use of the very clean garage and laundry. We highly recommend staying here if you would like access to the water and close proximity to beaches, the pier and ferries.

We had a fantastic stay in Newport Beach! The location was perfect — close to everything we needed, and just a short walk to the beach. The house itself was spotless, beautifully maintained, and fully stocked with all the essentials (and then some), making our stay super comfortable and stress-free. The amenities were exactly as described, and everything worked perfectly. Communication with the owner was excellent — they were friendly, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. We’d definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!

Perfect Newport location for beach and boats!!

Fabulous property! Everything was as described, incredibly clean, well stocked kitchen, nice patio outside for relaxing and watching the boats go by. Having access to rent the Duffy was a great addition to our stay. The parking was easy with the long garage for our large suv, and just a block walk to the beach or restaurants.
