The location is excellent however, the house itself was okay at best. There are no closets or drawers to put your clothes, The firepit was not functional, and make sure to bring additional cookware if you are planning on cooking. Overall, not bad. ##### Nikki M.

Drew kept in great contact throughout the process and answered all my questions, super helpful. The property is newly remodeled and I was thrilled when I stepped through the front door to see such a great set up. It has lots of seating which I find a lot of places just don't have enough. It's a quaint cottage only steps from the boardwalk and beach with easy access to the best of the peninsula. And the wide open beach of Newport is truly spectacular. I'll be back. ##### Sharon P.

Location is a main beach drop off so the traffic in and out was continuous. Probably wouldn't bother a very young crowd. Beds are mush! No closet space at all, not beach essential s which would have been nice. Sorry just can't say much good here ##### Dori C. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sharon G. 10 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Newport Beach Beautiful but our stay had challenges No barbecue operation - manager stated they were having difficulty with its operation. Supplies (towels) and dish-ware were not enough for our family. There were five in our group, and the space can sleep up to six, but there were not enough glasses nor coffee cups for five. Parking was very much a challenge as the site had stated. First day we had to park several blocks away. ##### Sharon G. Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 1 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Getaway We had a wonderful time. Drew was very helpful and quick to responding to any questions. Home was the perfect location for us. The outdoor seating area was where we spent most of our time if not on the beach. Home is the perfect location. Walking distance from shopping center, food places and local bars. I'd recommend adding some additional cooking utensils (mixing bowls, additional cooking pans etc.) We'd much rather cook then eat out, so we had to make some adjustments, but make it work with the utensils stocked. Also, although there is public street parking, it's very hard to get a spot in the busier months. I'd recommend including the parking or lowering the cost per night. But definitely a must have when booking this home. Overall, great place! We'd definitely rebook in the future! Thanks! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Judy T. 12 Apr 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location! This is a great location for someone who does not need a lot of extras. The casa is as described, very simple, and is stocked with basic supplies. Drew has designed it to bring in as much light as possible during the day. He has taken advantage of the peekaboo ocean view in his window placement in the remodeled kitchen/bar area. The beds are EXTREMELY comfortable! There was a small issue with some areas that were not cleaned appropriately by his crew, but, the minute I mentioned it to him, he had someone out to take care of it within an hour. I could tell it is very important to him that he provides a clean place for his guests. As a landlord myself, it is my biggest fear in trusting someone else to clean for me, that they will become blind to the obvious that needs to be deep cleaned. I'm sure Drew will ensure this doesn't happen to anyone else in the future. The only other thing I would hope will happen in the near future, is that Drew replaces the failed glass in the living area, as this obstructs the beautiful ocean view. If you want a place to walk out your door to one of the most popular beach spots in Newport, and be in walking distance to Grocery, shops, and restaurants, this is the place for you! ##### Judy T. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Piper J. 1 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for a small family We took our 2 grandsons (9 and 6) to Newport Beach for their spring break. This cottage is a perfect setup for a couple with 2 young children. Larger bedroom has a comfy memory foam mattress and cushy down comforter. Secondary bedroom (for the kids) has an older innerspring mattress and less cushy comforter..but fine for kids. Big bathroom and wonderful shower (it's a climb to get in, tho, with a high wall). Excellently outfitted kitchen with Keurig machine and pods, electric teapot, blender, cooking utensils, dishwasher. Host very generous with toilet paper, paper towels, etc. Piles of oversize towels provided. Long breakfast bar with 3 oversize bar stools. Smallish living area, tho, with a 3 seat couch and 2 small wood chairs. It would be a real squeeze to put 3 or more adults in here, with so little living area. But again, PERFECT with the kids! Just steps from the boardwalk and beach!!! Drew was easy to communicate with. There are no closets or hangers for jackets, robes, outerwear. Some wall hooks or peg wall hangers would have been very welcome as we had cold rain off and on during our stay.. Also would have been nice to be told where the extra pillows were (we discovered them as we were checking OUT), and that brooms and cleaning supplies were in the laundry vestibule located in the little alley behind the front and back units. Outdoor shower and sauna also located back there. All in all, can't beat this place for a family beach getaway with a couple of kids. We'll be back! ##### Piper J. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023
