Family Vacation

My husband and I stayed with our 2 daughters and their husbands over the holiday. We also had one 16 month granddaughter with us. The extra room for her to sleep was great. A relative got us a pack n play, high chair, and toys from a rental company which worked out perfectly. We enjoyed our stay immensely. The negatives were the cleanliness of the kitchen. Also when we arrived the floors had just been mopped yet our socks turned grey from the floor the 1st day. There was only 1 towel per person for showering and only a few kitchen towels. I ended up buying some. We cooked and grilled often so the kitchen was used a lot. The weather was definitely cool so beach time was limited but we did walk quite a bit to a variety of places. Having a washer and dryer was great too. Parking was not an issue.

Great Quiet House

I've been renting houses in NB for >10 years and 821 W. Bay is located in a very quiet neighborhood. Yes, I would rent again and also recommend this house to others but want share my pros/cons. Positives: Quiet neighborhood, walk to the beach is easy and there is very nice bay access just a few steps away. The best features for us was the large living spaces (specifically the 2 living rooms & bedrooms) along with a nice grassy area for the dog. The house was adequately stocked and I only had to supply 1 roll of paper towels. Manager was very responsive & even sent reminders to on garbage days. There is a lot of street parking close by the house. Negatives: I had a feeling the bathrooms would be an issue by the lack of photos on the rental sites. Both bathrooms are extremely small. Although parking behind the garage worked well, we were barely able to fit (1) small compact car in the space and had to back the car out when doing laundry or grabbing beach chairs/wagon.

Perfect location!

My partner and I came with our kids for the week and this was the perfect location to easily get to the Balboa and Newport Piers. It's the perfect little quiet street. The front lawn was a great little spot for the kids to play. Having the whole house was perfect for all 6 of us. Great couches to lounge on and good beds and showers. The kitchen had plenty of space and was well stocked with what we needed to cook. Easy to check in and park in the back. The master was huge and the deck was relaxing. We are already thinking of booking this house again next year.

Newport beach convenience

Our stay here was great. The kitchen is well stocked,the living areas are spacious, bedrooms comfortable. The only negative is the small bathrooms, but that didn't affect our experience here. The house is walkable to the Balboa Island ferry and only a block from the ocean beach. This was a great find for our family vacation and I would highly recommend it!

Family Vacation

This was an all-around amazing experience, and we loved your home. We are already planning our next year's vacation and hope to be able to stay at this same property again as it was perfectly located and met all of our needs. Just a few things to mention, the blinds in the master bedroom on the doors should be replaced as they are damaged, and some are missing some slats. Perhaps some privacy curtains on top of the doors would make a great addition and give a great sense of privacy. Some door locks on the master bedroom doors would also be a great addition. We took the blue beach umbrella from the garage to the beach and found the base to be broken so we couldn't set it up. The yellow one was brand new and in perfect working condition, so we were grateful for that. We were awoken early by some construction on a house just a couple doors down on 5 out of the 7 days we were there. Definitely an inconvenience but won't stop me from giving a 5-star review as everything else other than the construction, umbrella, and master bedroom doors were amazing.

Uncomfortable

We booked this listing based on the proximity to the beach and for a relaxing getaway, but were very uncomfortable during our stay. Unfortunately, there is a home under major construction one house away that starts promptly at 7am. Without air conditioning, the windows have to remain open (even in April/May), which left us listening to nail guns, hammering, and lumber dropping all day. The home is darling, but fairly dirty. Floors needed a deep cleaning and the area rugs felt gross underfoot. The glassware appeared dirty, so we washed everything we intended to use, but it remained (possibly being permanent hard water crust?). The upstairs bath jets had chunks of black moldy material that floated out when the tub filled. And most of the outdoor items for guest usage have been left to essentially rot (bike, kayaks). We REALLY appreciated having the outdoor heat lamp and tv replaced during our stay since they were non-functional on arrival. The master bedroom mattress definitely needs to be replaced! Sleeping in human-sized holes left us sore and cranky…followed up with early morning/all day construction noise was absolutely uncomfortable. It really is a darling house, though, with great potential for family fun and beach memories to be made once nearby construction ends and management gives the home a thorough once-over.

Very pleased

Very conveniently located by the beach, just a quick 2 minute walk away, if that. Very comfortable, clean, and nice home with plenty of spread-out space for lounging on those cloudy days. Kitchen stocked with utensils, cooking implements, and spices. Clean, functioning bathrooms, and very nice style. Missing A/C, but the cool ocean breeze, and open windows/fans made it so we did not miss any of that.

We LOVED the location!

We had a fantastic stay! The location was perfect for us. Quiet street away from the spring break chaos, yet a quick bike ride or walk to town. Only a 2 min walk to the beach path and sand on the ocean side. Also, a quick 1 min walk to the bay side beach. We enjoyed being centrally located between the two piers with easy access to both piers by foot, bike, or skateboard. We really enjoyed paddling around the bay on the included kayaks. The house was well stocked with many beach chairs, one bike, boogie boards, beach towels, sand toys, and more. The kitchen was also well stocked with many spices, seasonings and other kitchen essentials that I was grateful I didn’t have to purchase. We were traveling with our college age kids and some of their friends and everyone had a fantastic time. The house itself is charming with a lot of vintage character. The upstairs bathroom is quirky and tight, but that wouldn’t keep me from highly recommending and coming back again and again.
