Perfect Location!
We enjoyed our stay at this beach house so much! The owner communicated everything on how to get there and where to park. The location can't get any better either. The pier is steps away from the front door. There are tons of restaurants, surf shops, coffee shops, bike rentals, literally a few steps away. We really didn't need to drive too much because there was a lot to do in the area within walking distance. There was even a little farmers market on a Sunday that was selling all kinds of cool things nearby the house. Had an awesome time! Thanks Doug!

Location! Location! Location!
From cleanliness, communication, and location this was it. Just steps away from the Pier and the ocean. You could even stay on the patio and listen to the waves or people-watch when you're ready to just relax. There is always something happening during the day and very quiet and serene at night. Water pressure in the shower was amazing and helped get the beach sand off without having to scrub! Definitely recommend and will stay again. Thanks for everything Doug on making this a successful family vacation.

This property is awesome. Location is perfect. It does need two updates. 1). TV is rather small and 2). Furniture is not very comfortable. But over all I would recommend this VRBO to everyone.

Great for four people/Perfect Location
Loved the location, all communication was great, check in was easy and seamless. Everything we hoped for, for our family of four. Restaurants and shopping steps away. If there were any cons, it would be thats its a lower unit and any movement upstairs is pretty noticeable, especially at 6am. Also the cable/satellite only worked about 50% of the time. I assume it was somewhat weather related with high winds and rain off and on but TV was more of just background noise to an essential item for us. Not enough of an issue for us to contact owner or ruin our trip. Overall, happy with our choice and would definitely rent again in the future. Even with small issues, still a 5 star stay for us.

This was a great property with all that Newport Beach has to offer. Sunsets on the pier, great food options and right on the boardwalk. Bicycle rentals, farmers market and The Frog House one of the only true surf shops of old. We had a great time! Our hosts were top notch👏👏👏

If you like to people watch, this is the place for you. At the most popular spot on the beach and everything is close. Owners are super informative and friendly. We are normally Florida vacationers but was going on a cruise out of Long Beach. I am thinking this is our new vacation spot!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Doug & Sandi Vanian

Host profile image
Sandi and I (Doug) got married in 1997. We lived in this beach house owned by my family for 5 years. As our family grew so did the need for additional space. We now live 10 minutes away. I'm currently CEO of the household :-) and look after the family property and my wife is a flight attendant with Alaska Airlines. We have the best of both worlds - when the property is not occupied by wonderful tenants we get to enjoy all it has to offer.

Why they chose this property

You have so many choices when it comes to finding just the right beach house for your family vacation, and we believe our Oceanfront home is in the best all-around location. Many of our guests return year after year. Truly an amazing place to retreat to and a wonderful place for kids year round. We hope that you will come stay in our beach house and enjoy what Newport has to offer.

What makes this property unique

Location! Location! Location! Nothing beats driving up and having a parking spot waiting for you. Waking up in the morning and making breakfast as you watch the crashing waves is just a little reminder that life is good.
