Great location!
Loved the location. Place was clean and very well appointed too. Even the toilet paper was of very high quality. Only reason for 4 out of 5 stars were the beds- far too soft and concaved. Also, the linens were very heavily laundered with a strong chemical smell.
My husband and I watched our 4 month old granddaughter while her parents went away for the long weekend. The house was perfect! So cute and it had all the amenities you need for cooking. We stayed at the house the whole time since we had the baby and did a lot cooking. Everything was perfect, especially the beds. They were the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in.
The house is so well kept. Living in the beautiful Corona Del Mar neighborhood. With a view of the water and easy access to so much in Newport Beach. 5⭐️
The accommodations are exactly what our family needed...clean, comfortable, well stocked w all needs, & excellent location. The house is a short walk down the street to Pirate's Cove (less busy beach) and Corona Del Mar State Beach (better waves but packed during the weekend). Family members chose their fav beach vibe. Property owners provide more than enough beach chairs, towels, coolers, umbrella, boogie boards, toys, & wagon. Local restaurants and small markets are walkable from the property. Time flies while taking long walks and jogs in the neighborhood. The mall is a short Uber ride if you prefer to leave your SUV parked (larger vehicles don't fit in garage space). Part of our family chose to Uber to Disneyland as well for a day. The house provides multiple areas for relaxation and restoration - the deck for breakfast and sunsets, front and back yard to read or workout, and rooms have enough space for 8 people to comfortably recharge. The beds were comfortable for all family members. We'll be returning next summer!
We had an amazing stay at Fernleaf cottage. The home itself was clean, perfectly decorated and appropriately stocked.
The neighborhood is quiet and walking distance to some great restaurants, the coves and CDM beach.
There were several boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrella, a wagon, toys and towels for us to use.
The beds are extremely comfortable and rooms spacious and exactly as pictured. The grass area in the back was great for our boys to run around and we thoroughly enjoyed the sunsets and 4th of July fireworks shows from the rooftop deck.
Looking forward to returning!
Property was very clean, nicely decorated and well-appointed. Very commodious for lots of guests with three bathrooms and many beds. We were a party of three and it was perfect.
Only a few hiccups—broken blind in upstairs bedroom and garage door wouldn’t close when we departed.
House would benefit from some reading lights in the bedrooms and a standup light in the LR. Also the upstairs shower floor gets really slippery once wet. So a non-skid mat or handle bar would be beneficial. Good supply of spices, coffee (yay—Peets!), snacks and some staples. Weather wasn’t great so we didn’t use the beach chairs or grill. Tarp on upstairs deck is unattractive but looks like dry rot underneath it. Front door has dry rot as well. Just mentioning this because my vacation home has the same issue. We absolutely adored this home and would love to return someday! Perfect location as was walkable to my daughter’s wedding at the Sherman Gardens and also convenient for shopping and restaurants.
Ahead of our stay, Jennifer was always extremely responsive and helpful with any questions I had. The check-in process is seamless and the house is perfection. It’s well equipped with anything you might need for your stay. The house has plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces to hang in, making it the kind of home that you don’t want to leave. We watched the sunsets every night from the rooftop deck and enjoyed the short walk to the beach. All the beds are extremely comfortable and having 2.5 baths accommodates larger groups. We loved our time there and would definitely recommend this home to anyone considering it!
Very relaxing place. Street parking was easy, the interior was clean and spacious, and there were accommodations that allowed our seven adults to sleep comfortably. Everything was as advertised.
I love Newport and CDM and the house is on a quiet street. I took my daughters to stay while my daughter performed at Disneyland. I felt safe. We were barely at the home I wished we could have enjoyed it and all the amenities. We only had the chance to sleep there and were off early in the mornings. We parked down the street, but it wasn’t a far walk. Thank you for having us.
Beautiful home in perfect location. We walked everywhere. To the beach, to the tide pools and to PCH for restaurants and shopping. The rooftop deck is perfect for sunsets and the home is well stocked. Would love to return.
Great property! Super cute house and really well laid out. Everything was very comfortable and well stocked. Convenient location - easy walk to shops and the beach. We will definitely be back!
This house was incredible. Extremely clean. Extremely well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. It was decorated in the quintessential coastal style. The location was amazing. The beach was a very short walk from the house. The rooftop was our favorite place to have coffee and hangout. We had couple of rainy days and the house was even equipped with fun lawn games perfect for the outdoor space. The outdoor spaces were PERFECT especially in the time of covid so we could hang out safely and comfortably outside with family members staying a few blocks away. The property manager was beyond helpful. We really hope to return and stay in this house in the future.
Great location in CDM with beach and shops within walking distance. Plenty of room for our family (4) and host was very responsive. Rained quite a bit so we spent a lot of time at the house so glad we had the space. Highly recommend this home.
Our family really enjoyed Jennifer's cottage in such a cool neighborhood in Corona Del Mar! The rooms are all so beautifully decorated and comfortable, and the views from the rooftop deck were amazing. We watched the sunset over Catalina Island from there every night! For those who like to cook, the kitchen is well stocked and Pearson's Port Seafood Market is a short drive away to pick up the catch of the day. We also enjoyed how close it is to the local beaches and even the stair workouts on the way. We would definitely return to this wonderful area and cottage in the future!
Can’t go wrong with this property. Everything you need for a visit to Newport Beach area.
Super easy. Outstanding views. Many little touches to make a visit convenient. Cute and updated home that sleeps many people very comfortably. A perfect balance.
Beautiful property just a block from the beach. Everything was perfect from booking, check-in to check out at our place. Highly recommended for a great family trip.
We loved our time here- the perfect family vacation!
