Summer time stay
Fantastic stay with greats hosts. John is very communicative and helpful, even saved a parking spot for us right out front! The location is perfect—block from the sand and Pavillions. The cottage was very clean and had everything needed for two people and a baby. Overall, highly recommend and we’ll definitely stay again!

50th Anniversary
My husband and I were married in CA. I grew up near Newport. I have rented many places over the years and this is absolutely the best for 2 people, even though there is a sleeping sofa. Everything they offer you is such quality,,,the bed ( mattress) beach chairs, towels, umbrella, bicycles. Their towels, their dishes, their WiFi/TV was exceptional. Short walk to the beach is great. Response to your needs is amazing and they have the most beautiful succulent garden you have ever seen. We're already planning to go back next year !!

Exceptional Experience
My husband and I agreed that this was one of the best rental experiences we have ever had. John and Kimberly are exceptional hosts, and the cottage was meticulously maintained, offering all the comforts of home. The location allows for easy access to everything you want and need: grocery store, restaurants, shopping, and the beach. The rental has all the beach gear you need and if you forget something, they have it there for you . The front patio with the lovely dining table expanded our space when visitors came over. There is a Weber grill with everything to make a wonderful dinner, which we enjoyed on the front patio. We said this will be a place where we will come again to stay. It was a wonderful experience.

I am so glad we chose this property. It is absolutely beautiful there inside and out!! I love all the succulents around the cottage and the large outside table. My daughter and I had such a great time. We will be coming back each year. It was just a short walk to the beach, grocery store, and restaurants. I cannot say enough nice things about Jonathan and Kimberlee. They had a parking spot waiting for us when we arrived, all kinds of fun things for the beach and bikes too!!! Thank you guys … see you in September

About the host

Hosted by Kimberlee Vandenakker

Host profile image
John and Kimberlee Vandenakker manage the VRBO on behalf of The Peter Swanberg Trust. Peter was Kimberlee's father (and friend). John and Kimberlee live on-site and are available to assist when needed. Pete, a teacher and high school football/swimming and wrestling coach worked three jobs in order to buy his dream beach house. In 1970, this dream became a reality! Come enjoy Pete's dream with us!

Why they chose this property

The property location is ideal for fun in the sun! Great public beach a block away with soft sand and friendly water. Close to all the activities and fun Newport is known for, plus the convenience of a very close grocery store (Pavillions), pubs, bank, dry cleaners and laundry mat. Beautiful sunsets too!

What makes this property unique

A new addition for the Spring 2016 - rent the upstairs unit- a one-bedroom with a large window and upgraded décor VRBO #811145). Exceptional service and hospitality. Let us know if you are celebrating something special, we will be happy to arrange for flowers, champagne or anything we can do. If you need a ride from John Wayne airport, just ask. If we can manage it, we will! You really do not need a car in Newport Beach. Check our reviews and see what some of guests have had to say!
