Great location!
Loved the property location as it was super close to the shops, restaurants and bars. Only complaints are bed had sand in it, which made me think they weren’t washed before we arrived. Had to take bed apart and shake all sand out of the sheets. Owner said starter toilet paper is supplied but there was literally a few squares left on the roll and nothing is worse than running out of toilet paper 10 minutes after arriving on vacation and mid wipe. Had to Instacart toilet paper for our stay, so when they say starter it literally means starter and you may not have enough to finish on your first potty break. Would stay here again but would bring toilet paper and probably bring my own clean sheets.

Great stay!
We rented this beach side house for 3 days. The accommodations were as described and the property was perfectly located for exploring the Balboa Peninsula. Doug, the owner was very friendly and called prior to our check in to review particulars of the property which was extremely helpful. He is a great host!We hope to stay again very soon.

Beachside Confo
The unit is a bit dated but nice. Location is great. Communication was smooth. We stayed at bottom unit and we had an inconsiderate neighbor upstairs. It was quite disturbing when they were walking and moving furniture at 5 am daily. Although Doug was a nice host and tried his best to help, rent the bottom unit at your own risk.

Perfect Location
Everything from the booking, check-in, and check out process was perfect. The location is amazing walking out the door to stroll the board walk, walk the pier, or go to a restaurant was simple and convenient. We can't wait to go back and bring the rest of the family.

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.

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.
