3 days in Newport beach

Very nice place! Enough space to relax for a night in if you want, with a good kitchen and living space to hang out in. Walking distance from beach, pier, and tons of good food/drink. Also a basketball court right across the street!

Dog Get Away.

Came to get our dogs out the 116 degree Arizona heat. Great location, easy to walk to everything you need. My dogs enjoyed the small beach and park right across the street. Scott the host was quick to answer any questions.

Cozy Get Away

My friend and I traveled to California to attend the Darker Waves Concerts in Huntington Beach. This cozy little cottage was located far enough away from the event. It was quiet and peaceful in Newport Beach. We enjoyed walking over to the beach and down to the pier. Lots of great food places and things to see. It was a comfortable stay, and the owner was very responsive.

Newport Beach Bungalow

Location was awesome. Being a pet friendly rental was great. We will definitely be back. I have never used Itrip before but I would definitely recommend it to others. We were 110 percent satisfied with the representation of the property and its amenities. The instructions were clear and made everything super easy to check in and out. Thank you so much Scott.

Sweet Place

This classic little cottage was perfect for us! Had everything you needed. The location is the kicker. Quiet, close to stuff, bur away from tourists and the craziness of being closer to the pier. Having the park across the street to run our pooch was a big plus too, even though it is not an official dog park and a local mentioned you can get ticketed if you're not holding the leash. Would definitely come back!

Fall Beach Getaway

The property was exactly as photographed and described. Just the two of us enjoyed spacious comfort. We used the ottomans in the back sun room as luggage stands. Excellent email and text communications throughout our stay. So convenient to the beach. We enjoyed a lot of beach walking. Upon departing to return home to Denver, the rental car needed only 2.5 gallons to fill up the tank!

Convenient location

Funky 40's (?) vintage beach house. Basically sound but could use some TLC. Convenient to restaurants, coffee shop, small park, and the beach, of course. Although getting to the beach requires crossing a busy 4 lane street. Outdoor areas (patios) in front and back of the house. Off street parking. More than 3 people in this property would be too many.

Excellent time!

My wife and I along with our Poochies stayed at Scott’s property for 1 week at the end of September. The home is very clean, with plenty of amenities. The home is ideally located for pet lovers with a dog park directly adjacent. The beach is a very short distance along with many venues. We rented bikes for the week and enjoyed the comforts of Newport and their great restaurants. Scott was very accommodating and made himself available if needed. I would highly recommend this home. We will for sure be back next year!!

Fun Little Beach House

Location was great, just a quick walk to the beach. It’s a cute little house. It was well stocked with anything you might need. Im picky about my cookware so I do wish I’d brought my own frying pan. House does not have air conditioning. Probably not a problem most of the year, but we were there on a hot week. There were lots of fans to help, but it was warm. Overall we had a great time.

Terrific Location in Newport

The property is in an excellent location. Easy bike ride to Lido and all over Balboa. The beach is a 2 minute walk and you can also launch paddleboards or kayaks in the bay in a 30 second walk from the property. The front outdoor area is nice with a table and chaise lounges that overlooks the park area. It was incredibly quiet. The bed is comfortable and there is plenty of space. Having a parking space was also a good perk. WIFI was strong and we had no issues with connectivity. We had a minor shower issue that needed to be fixed and Scott came immediately to fix it.The one negative is that the property is not as good condition as it appears in the photos. It would not deter me from staying again, but it is in definite need of a facelift. The location makes up for this.

Great Winter Beach Getaway

The location was great near Coast Highway and the beach. I liked looking at the park versus a home. The bed and living room were comfortable. The kitchen was complete with all I needed. The bathrooms were pretty small and one was very dated but since I have lived at the beach, I was used to it. The back room was a waste but I didn't need it. Both bathrooms are located in the bedroom so people on the sofa bed will have to go through the bedroom. I loved access to free activities.

As depicted but better!

Location is 10/10. House is as depicted but even more charming in person 10/10! Equipped and user friendly decor and accommodations 10/10. I would move in and live here if I could! I travel with my service animal, and had surgery this week, so needed a spot where I could allow him to be outside and keep my eyes on him within the gated areas of house. The park across the street made him skip with glee, and I loved not having to overexert myself to walk across. Spent time outdoors at park with mini beach access and great playground, large grass area, as well as walked in the upscale neighborhood. House is well-maintained, well-equipped, and in a charming upscale area with charm. They even thought to add a few special items to make me comfortable after surgery, including a special pillow and some herbal tea to aid in digestion after anesthesia. Play area in back of house is perfect for dog or for kids! It felt like visiting a dear friend’s house. I’ll absolutely stay here every time I’m in town if this house is available! Thank you again to the thoughtful owners for making my stay so easy and cozy!

Authentic beach house

This is an authentic Newport Beach house with old charm and style. The house has some great features and details and also misses the mark on amenities. The location of the house worked great for our trip and the things we were doing. And the small park across the street was great for our dogs to run around on leash after we arrived. The front porch is great for lounging and we had zero concerns about our dogs getting out from this space. Interior details such as the labels hanging on drawers to tell you what is inside and boxes in the back room full of books and games were great touches. Some of the negatives that we ran into with the house - the back room is a waste of space and could be better used with bunk beds and another full size bed for better sleeping arrangements. There is ample storage in the bathroom cabinets and bedroom closet so having the fold out bed's linens crumpled in a Home Depot plastic storage box was disappointing. I had those sheets in the dryer at 10PM trying to get the wrinkles and plastic bin smell off of them before I made the bed to sleep in. More silverware and plates in the kitchen would be great. We were only two people staying at the house and needed to run the dishwasher after nearly every meal as we were out of those two items. This rental is OK but could be great with a few more touches to make it a great space that people walk in to and it feels like home.

Lovely location. Ants in bathroom coming in. I know that can just happen. I couldn’t figure out trash. Nice to have beach chairs provided and beach towels. Lighting a little odd and bedroom was warm for me in the night. Overall a lovely stay and much preferred to a hotel.

Friends Vacation

Best Friends who used to live in Orange County and have now moved out of state back for a relaxing vacation, beach time and visiting friends and family still in the area. Brought my new puppy who is a year old so the dog park across the street was perfect!

Nifty Newport

Good price for 2 blocks from the beach. Comfy bed. It was nice to have plenty of counter space in the bathrooms, something that is sorely lacking in most rentals. The front patio is a great place to relax. The park next door is definitely a plus with dogs. Try the Il Farro Italian restaurant near the Newport pier, the Snipe Island Crafthouse on Balboa Island, and Siam Station for Thai food.
