Great location
Great place for our weekend get away. Enjoyed the ease of parking which can be hard in a coastal town, great price and location nestled between the ocean and bay. Walkable to all the sites, restaurants and stores. Would stay again, as we plan on doing this trip yearly now.

Wonderful Stay in Newport Beach
We stayed here for two weeks in March. It is conveniently located in the middle of the peninsula, about half way between the piers and halfway between the ocean and the bay. We had a wonderful time.

Perfect for place for a relaxing long weekend
Wonderful place to stay! Everything was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the location was perfect. Street parking, but never had a problem finding a spot not too far from the studio. Just a short walk across the street to a less crowded part of the beach, but not too far of a walk to the shops and restaurants. Great outside seating area, perfect to hang out and relax. Directions for everything were well written and easily understood. Overall—a wonderful experience and would definitely stay again.

Great rental
My sis-in-law and I stayed for 3 nights and had zero issues with the property. Very well appointed and stocked studio. Location is fabulous!! Messaged host about nearby restaurants and she responded right away. There is a binder though with a list of restaurants, how to access tv and such. Had neighbors on both sides and had no issues with noise. Recommend.

Get away from the snow
We have stayed at this address before....not this studio though. We have now stayed at unit A, B, and C. They have all been clean and comfortable. We had a hiccup with the water heater in this unit. The owners were quick to respond and act on the situation, priceless!! We will definitely stay again, maybe we will try unit D next time! Thank you owners!
