Perfect spot
This is the perfect little bungalo, you are just steps to the boardwalk and sand, our grandchildren had so much fun. The cottage has everything you need to enjoy your time in the California sun. Easy to get to, and there is parking for your car, which is a plus in Newport Beach.

Attentive & Exceeded our Expectations
The house was perfect for our family. I was amazed at how many games they provided. As well as all the kayaks, bikes, surfboards, etc. They really thought of everything. Most places charge extra for that so that was a huge plus! I was impressed with how Jennifer was very on top of everything. She even gave recommendations on food and we enjoyed that too! loved the style and decor of the house. We loved it! Thanks so much.
