I have stayed in lots of VRBO rentals, and this is one of the best. Great indoor/outdoor living with an unbelievable outdoor and indoor kitchen. Entertainment for the whole family with a pool table and big screen TVs everywhere. Great contemporary decor, comfortable bedrooms, nice bathrooms for everyone. High-end kitchen is really well stocked as well. We will definitely be back! ##### Karen B. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean C. 20 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Pretty close to perfection Owner went the extra mile to assure this place has almost everything needed to add to our comfort. We loved the back patio the most sitting around the gas fireplace listening to the surround sound music. Location is very convenient, but it is in an area which is noisy on Friday and Saturday nights. Fortunately, you can’t hear any of it from the ground floor and closing the windows in the upstairs solves that problem. Overall, highly recommended. ##### Sean C. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shellie H. 14 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Central Location Pros: Perfect location between Fun Zone and beach. Upstairs patio was phenom for relaxing, bbq'ing, etc. Fire feature was great! 3 master bedrooms was great for the adults and 2 additional bedrooms for kids with separate bathrooms. 5 total full bathrooms was great to have after beach time. Kitchen had all the necessities (minus a good can opener). The floorplan was great for adults upstairs and teens downstairs. ;-) There was enough space that no one felt crowded. A washing machine and dryer upstairs and downstairs was also super useful. Finally, the property management checked in several times and was communicative. Areas for improvement: There were only 4 rolls of toilet paper for 5 bathrooms for a 5 night reservation for 11 people. Additionally, there was one roll of paper towels upstairs, one downstairs, and 2 dishrags in the whole house. I would expect more for the price and number of days reserved. Also, for the price, I would expect more and higher quality towels. The towels were cheap and super worn. Still a five star review, just suggestions for an improved stay. Would definitely stay again!! Thanks! ##### Shellie H. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 3 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location. Five bed/bath. Three parking spots. Pros and Cons I would have liked to give a five star, but there are some deficiencies that need to be attended to. PROS: Great location. Walk to Fun Zone, boat rides, restaurants, pizza, ice cream, pier, park, beach, bike rental. Great area for walking. We fit a small suv and a sedan in the garage and a third suv under the overhang. Don't bring more than three cars or you will have parking struggles, it is a busy and fun part of Newport Beach. Great outdoor deck with fire pits. We brought in the seat cushions when it rained. both upstairs and downstairs have congregating areas. Worked great for ten people. Eleven would be too many people. One bedroom has a bunk that would be fine for smaller kids. TVs everywhere. Fun to watch games and movies. CONS: They allot one washcloth, handtowel, and bath towel per person and they are thin and have been washed many times. I couldn't wash my hair while we were there because I didn't want to wash all the towels so I could have a second towel to wash my hair and then wash them all again. No beach towels provided. No aluminum foil or saran wrap in drawers. The management makes you log into a portal for the door code, which should really be texted to the occupant at the check in time. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### C K. 29 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Could have been perfect Right from the get go this property lost a star. The upstairs was suffocating. we were only there four days so it was annoying to have to deal with this. The first person they sent was incompetent and disinterested. The second knew that there was a problem with the “programming” but at no time did it all work well. Unfortunate for those sleeping in hot rooms. We called for fans, they sent several. The air conditioning was not on when we entered at 4 in the afternoon. How ridiculous. We left it on for the next group. It is quite an expensive place that shouldn’t cut corners. There were other little problems, toilet wouldn’t flush, one of the bedrooms shower had a handle that kept falling off. If it was inspected between groups this should not happen. It doesn’t take much to manage a property properly. Just some care to a checklist. Other than that the place itself is lovely and very large with a pool table, video games built in. Kids loved it. Pretty much all the bedrooms were good excerpt the bunk beds. The lower bunk was too small for a grown person. Really 4 adult bedrooms and one only for kids. I also thought it demeaning to ask guests to strip the beds, gather sheets by the outside door and put trash in dumpsters. Marriott doesn’t ask you to do that. Not classy. Change the policy. as I said, this was a very expensive four days and could have been perfect. ##### C K.

Reviewer Comments: We had such a wonderful time at our rental. It was so close to both the beach and the fun zone/ferry. We had plenty of room for our 3 families with kids and spent most of our time out of the house or on the deck. Would stay for the location and the house again! ##### Kate H.

Reviewer Comments: This property was great for our family of 10....4 couples and two toddlers. The separate living areas upstairs, outside and downstairs were really nice for a large group to spread out. We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor/patio area, and although it needed an extra cleaning before we could use it, the management company was very responsive and the worker did a fantastic job completely cleaning the area. Also, the beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of seating in all the living areas. A couple of details that made this stay a success was 1) the private patio on the second floor, 2) the close proximity to the ferry to Balboa Island. I would recommend this to other larger families or groups. ##### Leah D. ### 2/10 Terrible #### Anne Marie R. 5 Aug 2025 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Flies I rented this house for the location which was perfect. However the patio had an excessive amount of bugs flying around. We could not sit outside on the patio nor leave the sliding doors open to the house.We had flown in and upon arrival discovered the huge amount of flies & called property management .I was told that someone would call me back immediately. That didn’t happen.I never heard from anyone and the next morning tried again with calls as well as emails,In the meantime I ordered fly spray,etI then received a call back from the property manager. I was told they had 1,000 check ins that day but would send someone out to view the situation. By then one of my grandson had discovered that in one of the drawers on the outside patio that bug bait had spilt and it was attracting flies.Again having flown in and not having a car I had to door dash a delivery of products to clean up the fly bait.Finally the property management handyman showed up. He asked me why I wasn’t using the fans and proceeded to set them up on the patio.I asked him how would I know to do do this ? He said that because of the location near the restaurants that there was a problem with flies. This was the reason why there were discarded fly traps everywhere and someone intentionally put bait in draws to attracted even more flies. Maybe previous renter?We used the fans for our entire stay . We were told handyman would return. Never heard back from anyone.Such a big disappointment . ##### Anne Marie R.
