Great location in NB

We had a great time. The place was very comfortable but could use some better pillows. We were in walking distance to every place we wanted to go which was just what we wanted.

Great location!

Couldn’t have been a better location. The only negative about this cute place is, I felt enclosed. The pics make it seem really bright and airy. However, due to how close the homes are to each other, they needed to add a privacy fence around every window in the unit. We rented the back of the unit (B). It was certainly better than viewing another home but if you are looking to view out a window, rent the front of this unit not the back. The shower was a bit odd as the door where the faucet is - doesn’t open, so you had to be undressed or get your clothes wet when turning on the shower. Again, the location was super great so i was ok with the above mentioned items. And the

Cute property- Great Location

We stayed in all three units with friends and family. Our house was the one bedroom, one bath and it was super cute and perfect for our family. Check in was beyond easy and location was perfect! I appreciated all the information that was provided to guide us around the area. I would not only stay again, but recommend to anyone.

Married in SoCal

We came to be married in Lover's Cove in Corona Del Mar. Had a blast and 2nd time staying here. Totally cozy and great location. Would be 5 of 5 stars but the mattress was soft and should be replaced. Otherwise great on all counts.

Wedding weekend fun!

We enjoyed our stay for our son's wedding. Property was a little run down but very clean. Bathroom small, kitchen nice, living area dated. Excellent location to beach. Beachfront Realty easy to work with.

Awesome location

Great little spot as a base of operation. Beach and boardwalk were super close. House was nice and clean. Parking is definitely tight and there was construction on both sides so noisy on weekdays. Hopefully that all ends soon :) We felt it was a great value for the area.

Great spot near the beach

My son and I rented this place and it was adorable! You can park your vehicle and walk right downtown Newport or walk right to the beach. The kitchen was outfitted with all the appliances and dishes that we needed. Beach towels were supplied. I would definitely rent here again. Beachview was amazing and super responsive if we had any questions.

Enjoyable Stay at VRBO

Everything was exceptional. Bath tub too slippery and needs new expoxy coating with sand for stability. Otherwise I would definitely recommend and stay at this rental again. Close to Pier and restaurants 👍😎

NOT Smoke Free - Warning to Future Rentals

As soon as we walked in, we were overcome with a heavy stench of smoke/must. We had to wait until the morning to get a resolution, due to the late hour of our arrival. I double checked, & it WAS listed as nonsmoking. We were also surprised at how the place looked compared to the listing - photos were very well staged. Our main concern, however, was the smell. We all woke up with headaches in the morning. I reached out to the company. They apologized & stated that the cleaning crew did not report a smell and reiterated it was a nonsmoking rental. They stated that they could NOT move us to any other rental (despite having others available) because all their homes are independently owned. They also were not willing to give a partial refund. Their only offer was to send in their cleaning crew which we declined because 1) all our personal belongs were unpacked throughout the rental & 2) if they couldn't detect it the first time and their cleaning process didn't rid it yesterday, it was unlikely to this time. We reached out to VRBO to help but their money back policy did NOT apply to this rental. Other issues to note: cracks in tub, paint peeling in places, no bedding for the couch pull out, mold in the crease of bathroom sink and countertop, designated parking taken by other tenants. We didn't bother to send these issues to the rental company as we knew it wouldn't make a difference.

Perfect location

My husband and I loved this unit! One house to the beach, lots of local bars and restaurants, there wasnt ever a reason to leave this area. We rented bikes and we feel that made the stay even more enjoyable. It's a lot easier to get around. Parking in the carport was a little tight, but we knew that ahead of time. We rented a Kia Sorrento and it fit with very little room to spare. Having AC was a bonus especially with a lower unit and not much air flow. These are very hard to come by. Plenty of towels, blankets, and pillows and nicely stocked with all other necessities. We would definitely stay here again.

drab and dark

I guess you get what you pay for. Small, dark, and it's located on the back of a house ground level. The parking spot was in the middle, with two poles on each side. Super, crazy hard to park. We heard every footstep above us. Dumpity dump.

Decent place to stay

Overall, this is a decent place to stay. It’s quite small but being as we were at the beach and sightseeing, it wasn’t too much of a problem. The unit is clean and updated and decorated nicely. The biggest issue we had was with the noise in the upstairs unit. I’m not sure what was happening up there but it sounded like they were performing some sort of complicated tap dancing routine...at all hours of the night. It was super loud and annoying. This unit is the bottom unit closest to the alley, which means that anyone going to the upstairs unit or front unit needs to walk past your unit to get there. If your shades are up, they have a birds-eye view right into your space. We got to the point that we just left the shades down constantly. The mattress in the pull-out couch desperately needs to be replaced. Take them seriously when they say to get a compact car for the parking space, I’m so glad we did or we wouldn’t have fit with the other cars there.

nice but a few issues...

It was an OK place to stay with an amazing location right near the beach. Somewhat clean, but when you leave they want you to wash and put your own dishes away. This is great, however several dishes we pulled out were dirty - maybe they need to clean or run their own dishes through the washer. There were, literally, 3 pieces of plates, bowls and zero cooking ware. Our power went out and when I called the office, I was asked if I wanted to check the breaker box and look into it. I told her I was not comfortable with this, I think with the amount I paid, they should take care of this. I know the previous reviews mentioned the upstairs noise, but it is crazy... we heard conversations, the TV and lots of banging, moving furniture and such. I think something could be done about this, we heard conversations and could hear the TV shows they were watching. While we were there, a family of five were above us and were somewhat chill and we still heard EVERYTHING. Great location but I think the place could use some upkeep.
