My family and I had a wonderful time at this vacation rental - the perfect, pre-Christmas getaway! We traveled from western Oregon, so the mid-60s, sunny weather was a real plus. The rental was very clean and completely comfortable for our family of four. The owners were very quick to respond to questions and very pleasant in all interactions. We used the beach chairs, cruiser bikes, lounged on the patio, watched our younger son use a boogie board and play in the ocean right in front of us, with dolphins swimming by - that was a thrill! Both of our sons took a surfing lesson in nearby Huntington Beach (and a seal joined them for the lesson). We spent a day at Disneyland and a day at Universal Studios, and all locations were easily accessible from this location, and it's only about 15 minutes from John Wayne airport too. Plus, we were in town during the Newport Christmas Ships Parade, and seeing those beautiful boats was a real pleasure for my boat-loving husband. This rental was a great location for really enjoying what Newport Beach has to offer and I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends. Thank you, Gary!
