Loved this cottage! It was exactly as described, close to the beach and walking distance to shopping and restaurants. We rented bikes at Newport Pier, about 4 blocks from the house. They do have a small garage but we parked on the street. My husband and I stayed with our 2 teenage kids. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### andrea a. 28 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This is the perfect beach house vacation home.

It is conveniently located less than one block from the boardwalk near the 32nd lifeguard tower. It’s a very nice distance from the pier, with shopping and great dining options.The cottage is appointed with anything you might need, including towels, small appliances for the kitchen, and generous seating, with outdoor chairs, and tables. We thought that it was very nice that they had beach chairs, an umbrella, and a barbecue at their property, for our use. The owners are very accessible, friendly, and responsive to any questions. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Jordan G.

Furnished very nice and cozy. We enjoyed the front porch every day. Amazing location, so convenient to everything - we parked our car and rode bikes the whole trip. We are ready to book again next summer. The owners checked in with us to see if we needed anything - they are super nice. Definitely two thumbs up!! ##### Kim M.

The place was nice , clean and steps to the beach Couldn’t ask for more, from the place or the host. It is a beautiful “beach town cottage”. Clean place and neighbourhood. You can see the the beach and boardwalk from the patio. we surfed and napped and surfed and napped. Lol. Walking distance to grocery store , restaurants, bars, shops etc. This place rocks. Comfortable furniture, big TVs, wifi, and well stocked kitchen supplies. I can’t imagine anyone not enjoying themselves here As for parking we have a larger suv and we parked on the street right out front. Quiet safe no issues. ##### Doug C. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patty F., Hamilton, MT 24 Feb 2019 #### Great location! Wonderful host! Dog friendly! We are a couple in our 60s traveling with our Labrador. This house was a perfect fit for us in a great location 1/2 block to the beach and a short walk to several excellent restaurants and bars. The living area is very comfortable and inviting with a large, new TV and cable. Red Box is just gown the street at 7-11 for movies. The king bed is very comfortable. Didn’t use the bunks but would be perfect for kids. Although we didn’t cook, the kitchen is well stocked including oils and spices. This is a place we will return to as we love to come to S CA when Montana gets cold. Owner is great to work with and communication was fast and easy. Highly recommend. ##### Patty F. Stayed 14 nights in Feb 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lisa P. 23 Oct 2018 #### Location, location, location Pros: Location, location location.... about a 1/2 block to the beach. easy walking distance to the grocery store and to the pier (restaurants and shops) cute, updated décor easy drive from John Wayne airport easy drive to Disneyland Cons: laundry is across the street from the unit at a laundry mat rent a small car, we had a full size car and it was tight No a/c, unit needs more fans triple bunk bed was tight for my kids This unit would be an A+ rental if the owners provided more towels, wash clothes, beach towels, bath soap, maybe a few beach chairs... we travelled from out of town, so we weren't going to pack this stuff and bring it on the airplane ##### Lisa P. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 2 Aug 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Great location, workable but not ideal accommodations. If it had been cleaned well--including sweeping the dust and sand and grime and grossness from pretty much every corner of the place, I'd bump the overall rating up from 2 stars to three 3 stars compared to the 10-15 other beach houses between 25th and 32nd street in which we've stayed over the past 40 years. The layout is just really awkward, with a single bathroom at the center of the house (with no windows or fans or ventilation). Master bedroom needs a smaller bed...just too narrow for the king. Light bulbs all need replacing to calming tones and dimmable switches, instead of surgical grade bright white. One socket was actually sparking when jostled so we had to unplug everything from that and move the TV at the owner's suggestion (no electrician ever showed up however). Garage is so so so small and narrow. I mean, it's a parking spot, but don't plan on getting bikes in and out if you have a car there. The access to the back alley/garage/garbages is very poor. You can access it through a narrow and spider-webby accessway or you can walk around the corner and access it from Balboa Blvd. Toaster is broken....stuck on bagel setting, so your toast will be bad. Kitchen doesn't have nearly enough dinnerware, other than cups...it has a ton of cups. Kitchen is also so narrow as to make it almost impossible to use. All that said: Pros are the location. Can't beat the location in terms of access to the beach, grocery store, some restaurants, etc. Internet worked good. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### liz 31 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The host was very welcoming and the amenities were clean and easy to use.

Didn’t have to drive from the moment we parked the car. Adequate kitchen for our needs, we cooked most meals there. All the normal pantry supplies, utensils, cookware. Direct communication via text with the owners who responded nearly immediately. ##### Damon F. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nicole T. 3 Jun 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location The hosts were great and quick to respond. The location was fantastic, several houses down from the sand, close to shops and restaurants. I initially booked this property because I planned on bringing my dog. That plan got canceled and I’m glad. The house smelled of dog pee and the tub had throw up in it from someone previously staying there, that we had to clean. I notified the owner and they said they would speak to their cleaning people. The other issue I had, were there were spots in the floor where if you walked over them it felt as if you were going to fall threw. Especially near the main bedroom where the floor was loose and I stubbed my foot several times. The overall house was nice. ##### Nicole T.

Will definitely be back 😊 Great place, close to the beach. When contacting the owners I always received a prompt response. We will definitely be back soon. ##### Lori L.

The cottage is in a great location; we could easily walk to the beach, grocery store, shops and restaurants. My suv was too big for the garage, but there was plenty of street parking around. The only thing I would suggest would be some extra blankets. We enjoyed the patio, but it gets chilly in the early morning and evening. ##### Megan F.

This beach cottage was exactly what we were looking for during our visit to Newport Beach. Not on the beach boardwalk (not what we wanted) but only off the beach by a minute or two walk - perfect. Because parking can be a challenge the added bonus of having a garage was great. The cottage itself has to be one of the cutest properties in Newport Beach. We would absolutely choose this location if we are fortunate to get out to this area again. Loved it! ##### christopher b.

The garage parking was perfect for our Ford Escape. The house was just right for us and our 2 grandchildren, ages 13 and 11\. The kitchen was well equipped with a microwave, drip coffee maker and toaster. There was even a blender. And, ample cabinet and counter space. The Direct TV was appreciated by the kids! There were games stored in the coffee table which we enjoyed. The house is old and the outlet situation was a bit challenging but power strips were available in the main bedroom and living room. There was also a USB wall charger in an outlet in the dining area. So important with all our rechargeable technology! There was sufficient bath towels and hand soap and enough cabinet space to store our daily hygiene supplies. The dressers in both bedrooms provided more than enough space for clothing for 2 adults and 2 kids. The beds were so comfy. Fans were also provided as the house has no AC., in addition to a ceiling fan in the main bedroom. The main bedroom windows open, which was helpful as it was unusually warm for several days. The 2nd bedroom is more difficult to ventilate. We would leave the back door open, which is in that room. The entryway area of the small home was a perfect catch all area for items we didn’t want to leave outside, yet kept them out of the way. We were happy to be able to park our 4 bicycles just outside the back door. The walk to the beach was so convenient that we could use the our own bathroom and trot back to make sandwiches or grab anything we might have forgot. We used the chairs , the umbrellas, and a boogie board that are stored at the house. The front porch was a lovely location to relax. The street was peaceful, even though it’s busy as cars come and go frequently. We felt extremely safe, as well. The Pavilion grocery store is only a block away and the laundromat just down the street. There are many restaurants nearby. Very walkable!! We stayed a week. This was our first beach rental experience and it did not disappoint! ##### Deborah S.
