We could walk to restaurants and shops. We felt safe, and the location was at a premium spot for where we needed and wanted to go. The airport is close by so that was convenient as well. ##### Kyle W. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Andrew W. Aug 15, 2022 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Good Location, Skin Deep Quality To start with the positives, it’s a great location. 15th has great access to the beach and easily can reach either pier in the area. Cleanliness within the unit was good. The patio was nice and shaded well. And to be honest, the patio is the highlight of the location. The A-frame style is pretty fun as well. They do a good job to maximize the usable space. Now for the negatives. Walking up to the unit, the smell of full trash cans rolls over you. You basically have to squeeze by the numerous full trash cans to get into the unit. Very unbecoming and really would hope the entrance was not walking by that. The unit was HOT! Weather while we visited was only 81 at the high. However, when we showed up it was at least 15 degrees hotter inside than out. Why wouldn’t the company make sure the unit was comfortable for us on check in? None of the fans were on. All the windows were shut. And to be honest, this problem persisted even with us opening all windows and turning on all fans. You will get no breeze coming through the place because it sits 90 degrees to the typical wind direction. We had a beach chair that was ripped on arrival and when we called to report it, it took a full day for them to replace it. In the loft, there are no handrails to prevent anyone from falling down the ship ladder from the top. And the floor was so unstable up there, I’m not sure I would want to be up there or even put a kid up there. Definitely not safe. Also, nothing was plugged in. No lights, nothing. Other weird things were tinfoil on every cooking surface, including the BBQ. Or windows missing screens. Or the dead plant on the patio. One of our emails prior to checking said the wait would be worth it. I wouldn’t agree. So if all you care about it location, good spot. Otherwise, maybe look elsewhere. ##### Andrew W.

There is no a/c and we used the place during a heat wave. It makes sleeping at night hard if you need a/c to sleep. We know that places in the area don't usually have a/c bc they don't need it often. ##### Dannna Y. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Haley M. Jul 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good location I really enjoyed the location of the property it’s a block away from the beach and the host was quick to answer questions. My biggest complaint is it was not well stocked. There is 0 seasonings or any extras in the kitchen at all just some dishes and toaster, no extra towels, a kuerig but no coffee. It’s nice to stay in a VRBO because it’s convenient to have things a hotel doesn’t have. It is also tough to have a 3pm check in and 10am check out time. ##### Haley M.

Incredible location in Newport Beach right across from the beach. Truly a treasure and plan to return. The kids stayed up stairs where there are two beds and I stayed downstairs.

The property manager was very helpful. The property was perfect for 4 of us. The market is less than a block walk. The beach is a block walk. Very clean. The only suggestion is to change the physical key to a lock door code so the guests do not need to have an extra stop to pick up the physical key at a separate office. We had a great time and great weather. ##### Giulliana C. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### lynne s.

Jul 12, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Check-in #### Great beach bungalow, high maintenance protocol and management company. This was the perfect location for a Newport Beach long weekend getaway. It’s 2 blocks from the beach and main boardwalk located in between Newport pier & Balboa pier. 10 min walk to Newport Pier and all it’s shops and restaurants. The deck is fabulous and we loved the property itself! However, renter beware, the city and management company is high maintenance and none of the reviews I read mention this, so maybe it’s new protocol, but it is a consideration renters should be aware of so they know what they are getting into before renting. We’ve been using vacation rental companies for over a decade and this was one of the highest maintenance ones we’ve encountered. Aside from multiple required signed agreements, including insanely strict city noise ordinances (which include $1000-$5000 fines for normal talking level noise between 10 PM-10 AM), rules and regulations etc, renters are required to pick up and drop off keys IN PERSON between the hours of 10 AM & 5PM when checking in and out at an office located a 10 minute drive from the property. This works fine if you’ve rented a car and arrive during those hours. However if you arrive outside those hours, be prepared for your vacation to be interrupted, requiring you to pay for transportation to the rental office before noon the next day or you could be charged a $25 fee. I would think after all we’ve learned from the pandemic, this process could be done remotely as standard protocol, allowing guests to enjoy their holiday while still fulfilling the requirements. Aside from the things mentioned above, (which did negatively affect our experience as it interrupted our first day of vacation dealing with the in person check in procedure, we also felt like we couldn't sit out on the patio and listen to music or have lively or laughing conversation due to the noise ordinance), that said, the location and beach bungalow is great, we loved our stay and would stay there again. ##### Rebecca Q.

We had no car and used Ubers occasionally after grocery shopping. The Pavillion supermarket is the nearest store (about 20 mins walk) and I just took an Uber back. We thought the apartment was perfect - kitchen was adequately equipped. No washing machine or dishwasher was no problem for a nine day stay. ##### Jacoba B.

My fiance and I stayed at this property for 6 days in mid September and had an awesome stay! The house was perfect size for just the two of us. There was a loft upstairs with 2 single beds so you could have slept 4 here but that would be veryyy tight FYI. The location of this house is GREAT for anything you want to do. 30 second walk to the beach, 5 minute walk to bars/restaurants/pier/shopping. There was no air conditioning in the house which was only really missed when we came home in the middle of the day when it was 85 degrees out but at night it cooled down to lows in the 60's so it was very comfortable to sleep and wake up to a cool ocean air. The girl we dealt with at the beachview office was super nice and helpful (first desk on the left) when we came to check in after having to check in late due to a 6 PM flight arrival. All in all an awesome place to stay and highly recommend this house and this company in the future. We'll be back next year! ##### Ted J. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom D., Waukesha, USA Jul 8, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location Great location for a stay without a car! We walked the lovely area (4 miles) each morning. Bedding comfortable, kitchen nicely appointed (although we didn't do any cooking, just snacking) and really fabulous private outdoor space. ##### Tom D.
