I stayed in this home last weekend with 6 of my girlfriends. The home is quite large, with plenty of outdoor space, including a great patio on the 3rd floor. It’s walking distance to the beach, shops, restaurants, and the Balboa Ferry. We got in the car once, to go to Pavillions Market. My friends loved the house too, and I would definitely stay there again. ##### Susan B.

Plenty of room for our family of 5. Very new and clean. Breakfast spots within walking distance. One critique - the house gets a lot of light in the morning so maybe bring eye shades if you want to sleep in. Also - we live in the burbs where it is very quiet. There is quite a bit of road noise here so maybe bring earplugs too. Overall awesome and would recommend. ##### christopher K.

Good location Outdoor space very disappointing. Dirty floors and stained furniture. Outdoor space was mildewed and rusty. Tripping hazards Bathroom grouting ugly and grungy. No full length mirrors No use of almost all amenities for guests That’s down to the stove top griddle we weren’t allowed to use. Once was a lovely place. Not so today. ##### Cathyerine M.

It’s very run down. The furniture was dirty and disgusting. The shower is leaking into the next level through the light above the dining table. No coffee or tea provided. The cleanliness was average. The internet wasn’t working. Finally figured out power had shorted, probably due to the water leak through the bathroom. Not a great start to have to find the power switchboard and fix given the price we paid. The only good thing was the beds were comfortable ##### Luke K.

My husband and I rented this home for a week with our daughter and her family...3 children. It was very functional for us, but there were some weak points! #1The floors on the main were dirty or had been very poorly mopped...the kids feet were black immediately so wear shoes while you are in the house! #2 there was only 1 skillet and we had to ask for more. #3 We had a leak from the master shower over the DR table...We placed two calls (over two days) to the 800 number and with no response my husband found a local # to call. We got an immediate response...it was not a drain leak it was improper installation of the shower door...sounded like this wasn't the first call for this problem... #4Aside from the above issues, it is on a busy street(which I did not realize when I rented) and with young children we would find a more secluded home on a quieter street. We made it work and we had a great week. ##### Frances S. ### 8/10 Good #### adrian d. 19 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### great house the house is excellent and very impressive. we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and only had a few minor issues. we couldn't access the house from the front door as the code was incorrect. luckily we could access the house through the garage. the contact number didn't appear to work from our UK phones so we had to get a friend to call. they came the next day to sort it out. a few minor cosmetic things that need looking at. appears some of the property hasn't been looked after by some of the previous guests and final touches need looking at. also there was no manual to show us how things worked (and there's lots of gadgets) would of been nice to have a welcome folder with local guide etc. the ring system constantly makes a noise when there's movement as is located in one of the bedrooms so kept that person up when it went off. there was also roadworks outside the house for 2 days so couldn't make use of the balcony. minor points but when you pay top dollar you expect everything to be 100%. we would stay there again but it wasn't a cheap stay. ##### adrian d.

Luckily, we checked the listing the week before we left to learn the property was in disarray. In fact, when Vacasa finally got back to us, the phrase they used was “not livable.” To their credit, they did refund us our money + some extra. But by that point, over Labor Day weekend, there was \*nothing\* available near the beach in Newport/Balboa. So we had to scramble and go somewhere else entirely at the last minute. ##### Frank S. Stayed 15 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Becky T. 10 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good House. Good location. This is a large house very close to the ocean. If you are looking for a really high-end property this isn’t it. It is a beach rental that definitely has been well used. The white carpets were significantly stained. However, if you are looking for a large house that will accommodate your group and you want to be close to the beach, this is a great option. ##### Becky T. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer Langsdorf R. 5 Aug 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house layout and location The location of the property is perfect. Even though it’s on a busy street, there is a cross walk right at the corner that made crossing over to the beach easy. The size and the layout is amazing and provided plenty of room for our two families of 4. The property is in need of some deep cleaning and maintenance. The carpets had stains that would not have been removed by regular cleaning, as well as some cushions inside and outside were stained or worn. The beds were comfortable and the bedding seemed clean and new. The house doesn’t have cable so be prepared to stream your own apps, this was initially confusing but the management team was responsive to our requests for support. We had an issue with the GFI outlets in the bathrooms on the last evening, but management seemed on it. I hope the owners consider putting some money towards deep cleaning or replacing the light colored carpets. However, we were able to overlook these things because the size, layout and location were so great. I would have given the propery 5 stars with these changes. ##### Jennifer Langsdorf R.

It is definitely more weathered and lived in than it appears in the photos. We had a few issues pop up during our stay and the local Vacasa team was very responsive and helpful in getting them addressed however the deferred maintenance (i.e. mildewy patio furniture, rutsy railings, cracked patio tiles and random cut&exposed wires) is not something that is a quick fix or something that can be reasonably fixed while guests are in the home and the definitely impacted the quality of our enjoyment during the stay. The home is pet friendly and there is a strong residual pet odor and dander situation as several members of our party found it necessary to take allergy medicine while staying at the house. Wasn't a bad place to stay but wouldn't chose it again. ##### Mandy M.

Great spaces to relax such as living room, kitchen, or roof deck. It fit 4 couples perfectly and is in a great location for newport activities. ##### Josh F.

We are a family of 8, including two kids, and the home was perfect in size and layout for us! The location is amazing, 1/2 block to the beach, close to the pier, convenient for restaurants, food and entertainment! Beds and baths are plenty and comfortable but house has been lived in HARD. Kitchen countertops are etched with stains, electrical outlets are loose and some are uncovered, power went out twice for a few hours then GFCI's wouldn't reboot for a few hours after that. Several windows are broken and can't be opened which forced us to use AC. Plumbing in shower of wallpapered bedroom made such a loud roaring noise when hot water was on that it woke up the kids. Also the water shutoff in that shower itself when turned to hot and was only able to restart by turning dial to cold water and then hot again. Property was listed for sale two days before we left so twice people (Realtors?) were parked at front door looking in windows. This house is great but needs attention and maintenance. There are tons of similar vacation homes around the area to choose from - this home worked for us but I wouldn't come back until some of the issues are corrected. ##### Dani M.
