Amazing!!!

This trip was perfect! We try to visit Newport Beach at least once a year. The home we normally rent wasn’t available. I’m so glad I find this one. It checked all our boxes. The home was in walking distance to all our favorite restaurants, one block from the beach and the owner was super nice! We will definitely be coming back.

Perfect Newport Beach spot

We had the best stay in Newport Beach and loved this place! Host had all the beach gear we needed (umbrella, boogie boards, chairs, and even beach towels!). Close enough to the beach that you can walk back to use the bathroom. Tons of restaurants within walking distance (Sancho’s Tacos was dangerously close!). Loved the K-cups that were supplied, too! Only bummer is street parking, but we never had an issue finding parking. Highly recommend!

Fabulous Place!

The Starfish Cottage is a great vacation rental! It is in an ideal location with everything you need within walking distance. The beach is only two blocks away. My communication with the Starfish Cottage owner was exceptional. They were very helpful and gracious. We have stayed at the Starfish Cottage two summers and hopefully will return next year as well. I highly recommend it.

Piece of paradise!

The Starfish cottage is great! Holly is a lovely host and pays attention to small details in the house. Kitchen is fully stocked. Beach chairs, small cooler, umbrella, and boogie boards provided. There were bikes but we didn’t use them. Location is just 1 block from the beach, across the street from the grocery store, and walking distance to the pier. We had the perfect getaway for a long weekend!

Wonderful stay

The Starfish cottage is so cute. The location is one block from beach and within walking distance to shopping and restaurants. This has to be one of the cleanest VRBOs I have rented. The street is rather busy as it is a straight shot to a public beach access but it did not disrupt our stay. We enjoyed having morning coffee on front porch and watching people. The half front door was unique as the weather was perfect for open windows. We appreciated Holly’s communication and generosity. We will definitely consider staying here in the future.

This is a fantastic location for a family of four to enjoy a cozy, inviting cottage right near the beach and close to restaurants and stores. Holly & Drew are fantastic hosts and go over and aboveboard to help you with anything you may need. Practically everything you may need for your BEACH STAY is just a hop, skip and leisurely walk away. Starfish Cottage is a hidden 5 star gem.

great location

Location is everything for this house, but the house is wonderful too. Very clean and well appointed, literally has everything you could ever need during your stay. The ceiling fans in bedroom are very nice for warmer nights. My only point of improvement would be that the shower water pressure could be a bit stronger, but that is very minor! Very quiet and respectful neighbors as well. We will surely be back!
