About this property

Two-Story Bayfront Gem

The bay beach directly across the street allows guests full-on views of not only the bay, but portions of Lido Island, Balboa Island, Linda Isle and the city - plus the mountains, on a clear day. The spacious living area has large glass sliding doors that provide incredible views. The large kitchen and roomy side deck plus two car garage parking, make this property desirable with or without the views! And the ocean is just steps away.

The upper-level living room takes up the entire front of the home and has a long balcony with chairs, all the better to enjoy sweeping views of the area. A couch, loveseat and additional seating, plus wall-mounted flat panel TV provide a comfortable setting for gathering together to share the day experiences. A dining area has a large wooden table and eight chairs for family meals. The efficient kitchen has plenty of cabinet space and granite counters for meal preparation. A smaller breakfast room off the kitchen and side deck seats four, with an adjacent half bath. Sliders here open to the patio with table and chairs and a gas barbecue.

*Please note there is a small apartment connected to the home, it is not available for rent*

The home has four ground floor bedrooms. A king bed graces the bay view master bedroom with ceiling fan and en suite bath. The first guest room also has a king bed, ceiling fan and a door into the adjacent hall bath. The third bedroom has a queen bed and en-suite bath. The fourth bedroom is open to the stairway to the second floor and hallway and shares the hall bath. This retro bathroom has an original tub and tiling in vintage peachy-pink!

An indoor laundry room just off the garage has a full-size washer and dryer. Fireplaces are decorative only.

The large side deck on the second story is furnished with table and chairs and propane barbecue. It's terrific for meals and also allows for great air circulation throughout the entire upstairs. The front deck has chairs for enjoying views of the bay. The ground floor patio with wrought iron furniture is terrific for people watching at street level.

The home has a two-car garage.

Ten-acre Marina Park, is just five blocks away, with The Lighthouse Restaurant, an outdoor fitness circuit, basketball courts and picnic area allows visitors to soak up city and bay views. With both piers close by and the Balboa fun zone near, the area offers boundless options for family fun!

Nice view, quite neighborhood at night

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Nice home, pleasant view, not much noise from other visitors in adjacent homes. But one toilet flush valve flapper needs to be replace since the toilet would just continue to run without helping the flapper close by continuous jiggling of the handle. Also, one of the small beds is just uncomfortable and seemed to be higher in the middle than on the sides. Maybe I'm a bit of a princess sleeping on a pea under the mattress--that's a fairy tale reference--but it made for a night of restless sleep.

Terrible neighbors

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love this home. Second time staying in this home. Love Newport Beach the location being next to the bay and the beach at the same time. Warning!!! about the neighbors with this particular home. There is a rental on one side which was great but the other side two brothers and their wives and kids live there 24 hours a day seven days a week. You will notice there over grown storage room as you’re walking into the side door of this rental.They watch this property like a hawk very territorial about their parking spaces out front. They have overgrown their garage so they use 4 cars out front and space them out to make sure they always have parking available for themselves. We accidentally used one of these spaces when we first arrived, they happened to be gone for a minute and then we started to realize that we were irritating them by taking the free parking out in front. These neighbors made it very uncomfortable to be comfortable in the rental. We saw them everywhere on the beach on our walks on bike rides. It was like they were following us. It was really strange they didn’t work and they were always everywhere. Just a warning, very terrible neighbors for a vacation rental. It was sad to see that other reviews have mentioned the neighbors as well. These were the same neighbors that were there the first time the storage room was packed full last time this time they just added more people to their home more cars more kids.

You can’t beat the location but didn’t give 5 stars b/c the beds are getting a little soft and pink downstairs bathroom needs updating. Property management company is great too.

Enjoy the beach from the comfort of your balcony and living room.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Excellent location between the bay and ocean. Enjoyed walking (8 min.) to Balboa Fun Zone for restaurants and the Ferry to the island. Missed coffee the first morning. A coffee maker with coffee and a few condiments like salt and oil would have been appreciated. TV didn't work at all. We had our own devices to fill the void. Internet was out one of the days. Overall the view and location was exceptional, making this a most memorable experience. We are a three generation family.

The upstairs living areas are amazing and to have two patios to enjoy, was perfect! Just steps from the sand and close to all NB has to offer.

Disappointing Rental with Great Views.

Great view of the harbor, but the house is very dated, especially the kitchen and bath. Sleeps 8, but you have to walk through one of the bedrooms to get to the rest of the house. All the non-stick cook wear except for 1 had scrapes throughout the non-stick surface. The cooking utensils had food still stuck on them from the previous guests. With the cook wear provided you really can't cook for 8. There are no toiletries provided and only 1 roll of paper towels for the entire stay. The upstairs bathroom faucet has the hot water and cold water handles mixed up, so the hot water is on the right and cold on the left. They have very hot water, so almost everyone burned themselves when they turned on the water to wash their hands, thinking it was the cold water. The furnace was not working and when we called maintenance in the middle of the night because we could smell an odor, we were told they would come, but they never did, even after 2 calls in the middle of the night, so we had to turn off the furnace in the middle of the night in December when the temperature was 40F. When we arrived, we had to make our own beds with the linens and bedding that was provided in a saran wrapped and put on each bed. There were not enough blankets and pillowcases provided, so we had to call the next day for more. Which made our 1st night a horribly cold night since the furnace wasn't working and there weren't enough blankets. The TV doesn't work, it turns off and on and does not connect to the internet, so you can't watch Netflix, Hulu, etc. Lastly, for check-out, after paying over $400 in cleaning fees, we were told we needed to take out the trash, remove all bedding and linens and place them by the door and wash the dishes. We loved the view of the harbor, but won't be renting this place for our next stay.

Review of 925 W Bay Ave - Newport Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay overall. The rental sleeps 8 adults but the bedroom layout was a bit awkward, as you had to walk through one bedroom to access the back of the rental which contained another bedroom, laundry and garage. The kitchen and baths were very dated and the kitchen did not contain cookware for 8 adults. We love to cook and there were no large size bots for steaming shrimp, making stir fry, etc. We had to cook in stages. Plumbing issue with one of the toilets resulted in a call to maintenance when we arrived. Plumber was very prompt and fixed the issue, but left a big mess in the bathroom which we cleaned. Burr White was super nice and helpful, but we likely will not rent this particular unit again for the above reasons. The view and location were excellent though!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Slept plenty of people decorated fine. Fabulous location quiet on the bay but a quick walk to the ocean. Floors were dirty and cabinets and window jams. Very difficult to open. Had to have maintenance assist with a few windows. This I believe was one of the first RENTAL’s after Covid 19 ban. Expected it to be super clean but were very disappointed
