Beautiful Oceanside retreat

I stayed at this gorgeous home, directly on the beach in Newport Beach for the month of Feb 2023. The hosts were so wonderful! The house was fully appointed and lacked nothing! I look forward to staying there again in the future!!

Beach Getaway

This home was amazing! I would highly recommend staying at this property. All you need to pack are your clothes and any food for your visit. The owners have thought of every essential for your stay. Beautiful views and close proximity to the sand. Restaurants and boardwalk within walking or biking distance. This home is very warm and welcoming, and the property owners were a pleasure and responsive to any inquiries. We look forwarding to staying here again in the future!

Exceptional in every way

We spent five weeks in paradise. The property is well appointed. You need nothing more than your personal items and food/beverages. The location is central to anything you’d need or want to do. Jennifer and Greg are wonderful hosts who make you fell like you are at home. Responsive, warm and friendly. We will return!

Thank you!

We would like to share our experience on a long stay about this property. When we initially made the inquiry, correspondence from the hosts was friendly and answered all of our concerns. The location of this “Artist’s Retreat” was central to where we wanted to be in Newport Beach. Retail to include restaurants, shopping, gym, bike and walking paths were all in comfortable range. The Taylor’s welcomed us upon arrival and were available when needed. They went above and beyond our expectations. The house is welcoming and spacious with incredible beach access, views and sunsets. We would consider returning as special memories will remain. Thank you, Paul, Halley and our cats.

PERFECT SETTING for a fun and relaxing beach vacation!

If you are looking for the perfect location, then you can’t be this home. The location is A+, with the sand and surf right before your eyes from the living room, the kitchen and the main bedroom. We saw dolphins and whales, huge boats and the twinkle of Catalina island. The deck of the bedroom offers an especially nice view of the crashing waves and brave surfers. The neighborhood is quiet and neighbors are friendly. The home is interesting and quirky, with some nice art and sculptures and a truly impressive library of classic books--think the Iliad and the Odyssey, and a biography of Matisse in French. It definitely has the feel of a real home versus a sterile rental. The owners are nice people--earnest and responsive- and seemed to truly care about our experience. Because we use VRBO and AIR B&B a LOT, I think it is important to provide a thorough, honest review of every place we stay. No place is perfect and our visit was not without glitches. Apparently, the former guests with kids and dogs had extended their stay which might not have left enough time between renters. The cleaning staff was there when we arrived. This did not start our stay off on the right foot, but the owner did everything she could to rectify the situation, including sending in a second crew the next day -no charge. She also had some fresh bathmats & new sheets delivered, without our asking which we appreciated. I think if the owners had more time between guests, given how conscientious they were, they would have been able to evaluate the house a bit more closely, including checking to make sure everything worked—lightbulbs, appliances, etc. before new guests arrived. The carpet had stains on it, but the owners have plans to pull that out soon and put in flooring which will be awesome in this home! Favorites: GENEROUS supply of paper goods, well-stocked kitchen, 2 bikes we used every day, SONOS system outside on the deck. Suggestions: Enough time is needed between guests do a thorough check to make sure everything is ready and the place is clean. In summary, the beach access is awesome and the views are stunning. Easy access to the boat rental, grocery, lots of great restaurants, tennis courts etc.! With new flooring to freshen the place up, this place will be perfect next year when we come back! And, new floors would definitely make this a 5 star review.

Beach getaway with friends and fur babies

This was by far the best place we have ever rented. I have been renting beach houses for over 40 years and this one was in the perfect location. Views from beach house were unbelievable!!! The place had everything you would ever need, dishes, pots and pans, towels, trash bags, Extension cords, umbrellas, barbecue, chairs etc. Beds were comfortable and listening to the ocean from master retreat was fantastic. I loved reading on the patio while my dogs sat next to me. All the restaurants in the area where so good 😊. We went on boat rides, rented bikes for a week and walked to a lot of other places too. There is so much to do in Newport Beach and the surrounding areas. We did not want to leave. I can’t tell you how great it was to finally go on vacation after this pandemic. I literally loved every minute of my time at this beach house. My friends and husband thought this place was wonderful too. From golfing, to running, to pub crawling we could not have had a better time. Thank you so much to the owners and turnkey vacation rentals. Best experience ever!!
