Our family of six LOVED our stay at this house. It was a short walk past a few other houses to the beach. No streets to cross. The porch was great for rinsing off, the house has lots of windows for air flow so we were able to keep it cool enough even in August. There were a lot of options for lounging, gathering, and eating—several couches and chairs, benches, two full size indoor tables, porch seating, etc. We also loved that there were two good-sized bathrooms with nice showers. The house is old, probably 1920’s era, so everything has several layers of paint, but the windows are new. I liked the original hardwood floors, built-in china cabinets, solid wood doors, and other original touches that evoke the historical Newport Beach appeal. The rental agency was great to work with, sent lots of helpful info prior to our trip and even called us the day of to offer an early check in since the house was ready a few hours early. Everything we needed was within a block or two—grocery store, surf shop, several restaurants. All in all a wonderful experience and we would stay there again!
