Perfect Beach Rental for families

Our multi generational group loved this rental. The location was special- walking distance to the beach, a grocery store, great SoCal restaurants and shopping. The layout gave us lots of room to spread out, but also allowed us to gather together. It was a perfect beach vacation and we didn’t want to check out!

Scott was the absolute best host we've ever dealt with.

Scott was the absolute best host we've ever dealt with. The home was very clean, close to a grocery store, and just a short walk to the beach. We enjoyed spending time on the private patio. The outside shower was perfection! Would definitely stay here again or at any of Scott's properties.

Absolutely Awesome

Scott was a pleasure to deal with. We stayed in a fabulous property with two cottages about a 2 minute walk to the beach. The property had everything we needed. It could not have been in a better location because we were also walking distance from a great selection of restaurants and stores. Very comfortable beds and I was lucky enough to sleep in the room with the surfboard! I highly suggest it and can’t wait to book it for next year.

Great for the family!

Family of four + one of our son’s friends had a great time at this lovely home “complex”. Our son & his friend had their own space in the rear home and had a great time at the beach, pier & shopping for their own “condo”, all while under our convenient & watchful eye. Patio area was great for grilling & family time. Front house was perfect for us & super comfortable. Front patio let us take in all the local flavor. Super quick walk to the beach! In short, awesome!

Great stay in the perfect location!

We rent a house on the peninsula in Newport at least once a year and this house might be my favorite. I loved having the two cottages with ample patio space. The property was clean and up to date which is hard to find in Newport in that price range. We also loved the location. It was walking distance to the perfect stretch of beach, the grocery store and tons of restaurants. There were just a few small issues and Scott was immediately responsive. Also, we couldn't park in the garage with the door closed, it was just too tight. That was the only negative. We did find room on the street most of the time though. We would definitely stay here again!

Happiest Place On Earth!

Some people say Disneyland is the Happiest Place On Earth, but I disagree! It's really the Newport Penninsula - at my vacation home rented through iTrip. My family has rented 2 houses on the same property for the past 3 years. ITrip employees are really at the top of the vacation rental game. They are very well organized from the innitial contract to the move-out instructions, and have been available to me whenever I've had questions. This is all you couldl ask for in a vacation rental company. They are efficient, curtious and reliable. They make a vacation -- a Real Vacation. I look forward to many more wonderful vacations with iTrip!

Great last minute vacation stay

My family booked a short notice stay at this property and it was an overall great vacation experience. The beach house was very clean and we enjoyed the short two-block proximity to the beach. The price was also very reasonable when compared to similar properties in the area which were more expensive. The host Scott was very helpful and was easily reachable when we needed help setting up the air conditioning. This house slept a family of six very comfortably although I don't think the description was completely accurate as I didn't see the second double bed as described in the listing. There were two pull-out sofa beds but at least one of them didn't work. Still, overall five stars as we were more than satisfied with the house and location.

Fully Stocked and a Great Location

This house had everything that we needed including a portable crib and high chair for my grand daughter. The kitchen was fully stocked and with the two cottages you have two refrigerators, 2 ovens and 2 coffee makers (one uses a cone filter and one a flat-bottomed filter). It's a short walk to the beach and lots of restaurants and a grocery store. The house is in a nice neighborhood and we had no issues finding street parking (we drove a Ford expedition which was too big for the garage). The garage is a standard size one car garage and I think anything except the biggest cars would fit. Inside living spaces aren't large but we spent all of our time outside on the front patio or center courtyard. The air conditioning was much appreciated and worked great to keep the cottages cool. We would definitely stay here again!

Two Charming Cottages with a 5 minute walk to the sand!

We did a Sweet Sixteen surprise celebration weekend for my daughter and five of her friends. The 35th Street property was perfect for our getaway. The girls loved the independence they felt staying in the front cottage and I loved the privacy of the back cottage. The private deck between the two is perfect for enjoying bbq and eating alfresco. The kitchens are well stocked, beds are comfortable and the beach is right down the street...you can see the sand from the front patio. There's a grocery store down the street, Starbucks close by, and plenty of restaurants to choose from if you don't want to cook. There is a single garage . . . and notice the mirror on the wall to guide you in, so you don't hit the wall! Everything is crisp and clean - true to the pictures online. I would not hesitate spending another getaway at this property. Scott, the property manager, is amazingly responsive and has a great sense of humor!

Short walk to the beach, super clean, and comfortable!

We loved our week in Newport Beach at this property. We are a family of five so the setup was great with a separate space for our teens (back cottage) and the rest of us together (front cottage). Great location, short walk to Lido shops and restaurants one way, and about a 10 minute walk to the pier and Crab Cooker in the opposite direction. The beach was about a 3 minute walk and we set up each day off 35th Street and the boardwalk. The house came stocked with everything you need for a day of fun: chairs, umbrella, toys and boogie boards. Beach towels were a bit small but got the job done. The outdoor shower was a huge plus! The cottages are small on actual living space, but we took advantage of the front and back patios for coffee and meals. The interior was so clean and comfortable with lots of charm. Nice beds, dishware, and appliances. One of the nicest streets from a neighborhood stand point, the tenants next door all seemed like full time regulars. No loud parties or gatherings, which can by typical. One thing to make sure is the size of your car for the garage. We luckily rented a midsize and I don't think anything larger would have fit. Great stay and would definitely visit again!

Outstanding Place!

Rarely do I say a place is outstanding, but this place is just great. First off, super clean, maybe one of the cleanest rentals I've ever stayed in. The place is unique with two cottages to say the least.....good for families because everyone has space. Nice that they have some beach amenities for people to use.

Charm and Location

Came into town for my brother's wedding and absolutely adored this sweet little beach cottage. It was perfect for our needs and I already miss it. It is so well appointed, clean and so cozy. And it is right next to the beach! I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and need to find a reason to return.

Relaxing Vacation -

My family really enjoyed our stay in Newport Beach, an old fashion beach vacation. 2 blocks from the beach and a nice Store with a Starbucks, and close to many eating choices, etc. A Very convenient location. The teenagers were in the back house with us up front. That made it very nice. Two fantastic outdoor spaces, with seating, we spent a lot of time in both areas. The house was clean and recently redone. Had every thing you needed. Nice grill. outdoor shower. Beach stuff. We had a wonderful week.

Amazing stay by the beach!

My family and I rented this home for a week. We had a wonderful time being together and enjoying the lovely property and neighborhood. This location is really the best. On the days we spent a lot of time at the house, we loved just sitting out on the front porch, or hanging in the patio in the back grilling, chilling, and having some drinks. We did a fair amount of cooking, so it was nice that the kitchen was stocked really well too. The home is just a few minutes walk to the beach, and we loved spending parts of each day there as well. Plus, being in close walking distance to so many stores and restaurants made it that much sweeter. One thing we really had trouble with was parking- the garage was super tiny for my small SUV and I was too scared to park in it so had my husband do it. And the first day we checked in on a Saturday, the rest of my family had a really hard time finding street parking. The only other thing we disliked was that the back house bathroom is extremely tiny. Like as big as an airplane bathroom.

Wonderful Cottage

We enjoyed the cottage greatly. It’s charming and very clean and the location is excellent. We were able to walk to the beach and Lido Village with our kids. As as the description says, the property consists of two cottages, which required my husband to sleep in the second cottage, while the kids and I were in the front one but it worked for us. The property was very well stocked with everything and made our stay very enjoyable.

Perfect spot for Newport vacation

What a fantastic stay we had at this property. The location was perfect, close to the beach, close to great restaurants, grocery store, and more. Home was super clean, very comfortable beds. Having both front and back patio space was perfect. The back cottage is lovely and provides privacy while the main house is conveniently set up. Scott the owner of the property was accessible and very helpful. Neighbors were friendly, couldn’t avast for a better vacation spot hope to return sometime soon soon

Great location, clean comfortable accommodations

This rental in Newport Beach is perfect for anyone, but was especially good for us having a 8 month old baby. The two separate houses really worked out well by giving the baby a place to sleep without having to worry about waking him up! Scott even provided us with a pack n play! The houses were stocked with everything you could need to cook. They were extremely clean and having a washer and dryer was very convenient. The location was walking distance to a grocery store, the beach, the pier, the harbor and so many restaurants. The neighborhood was quite, safe and friendly. I have no complaints and would 100% stay here again.

Beautiful Place and Perfect Location

We LOVED this home and the location was perfect! The two cottages were so clean, two kitchens with wonderful amenities, TVs in each room, and a nice garage. We loved the front patio and the courtyard and BBQ. Our family had a wonderful Christmas week here. Parking our extra vehicle on the street was not as bad as expected. We were able to park within a block on the cute beach town streets. Highly recommend for families! We loved it!! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay! We can’t wait to be back soon.
