Great location - Wish it had air conditioning or screens

Overall, we were happy with our stay. Large property with many places to spread out and sleep. We were only a part of 5 and could have easily brought 5 more.

Areas I think could be upgraded for future visitors:

-BIGGEST ISSUE - No Air Conditioning. The temperature outside during our stay was extremely pleasant. We are not used to going without air conditioning so initially, we found it fun to open all the windows and enjoy the fresh air. The problem came when the bugs started entering the property. There are no screens on the windows and the bugs would come in throughout the day and stay. Unfortunately, this means we had numerous bug bites from mosquitos. There were only 2 large fans in the home so we were very warm at night if we kept the windows closed. I'm all for camping, but with the price point, it wore thin on a week-long vacation. This needs to be fully disclosed and/or remedied for future visitors.

-Linens- They are on their last leg. Need to be upgraded. Pillows are thin.

Bathrooms- For 5 people, we didn't have too many issues with the 2 bathrooms but only one shower was occasionally an issue. The downstairs bathroom had little room to get ready with a pedestal sink and only a tub.

Bedrooms- only 1 T.V. in the upstairs bedroom. The others don't have one.

Excellent parking, location to the water, and the kitchen was very nice. We took the opportunity to take the kayaks into the water which was incredible. Great front porch swing and sunroom.

The property is in a great location, near the bay, only a couple blocks to the ocean and right around the corner from the Newport Harbor Yacht Club. The interior of the house is charming, with lots of historical sailing and local memorabilia and the phots provided a very accurate representation of both the interior and exterior of the house. Newport Beach Vacation Rentals was very easy to work with and provided clear instructions, as well as a good list of local restaurants and sites. The only caveat I would add is that the one property parking spot is really only big enough for one car. But we did not have any issues finding nearby street parking.

Would book again!

This is a unique, 100 year old house that is completely charming and well stocked with all the comforts of home. Located between the beach and bay it was close enough to walk to either but far enough away from crowded, chaotic, party area that it was quiet at night. Only two comments; fireplace advertised on site yet personal information provided states fireplace can NOT be used and house across the street is under construction so M-F construction workers began to show up as early as 6:30 am so quiet morning coffee on front porch swing or sleeping in was not an option.

Reply: We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We are very sorry for the oversight of the Fireplace being advertised as usable. The fire place no longer works and we have updated the listing. We understand how frustrating construction can be and apologize for the noise. The city of Newport Beach has an ordinance that states construction must be restricted to the hours of 7:00 am - 6:30 pm Monday - Friday. If this ever happens again don't hesitate to reach out so that we can hold them accountable to the city rules. We appreciate your patience on these matters and hope to have you back again soon! - The NBVP team

Perfect family vacay

Marni H.

★★★★★

The property was perfect for our large family plenty of sleep spaces. It was cute and felt like it had old ship theme with it’s dark wood and lighthouse decor. Cute story about the property on the wall that made it feel even more homey. Quick walk to the beach. Quick stroll to the Fun Zone. The place has two bathrooms and one shower inside. The other shower is outside. It’s probably an after beach rinse off shower but it’s private and a fun adventure showering outside. We would love to stay there again. Thank you for sharing your awesome home!
