Great location near sand, grass and donut shop. Fun bedrooms and beautiful master suite. Kitchen while well equipped is small.
We had a great family get-together time at a great location and house. The house was big enough for all of us with all the necessary supplies. Many things were within the walking distance.
This is our 4th stay at this location. Love the location and closeness to so many great things to do, especially the beach and ocean. The house was clean and accommodated our group very well.
Excellent comfortable home with room for everyone. Great location, quiet and walking distance to all. Very well equipped with all we needed. We would rent it again.
We wanted to rent a house for a family vacation. My husband and I have 3 married children (total of 8 adults, including us) and 9 grandchildren, ages 9 months to 13 years old; so 17 of us in total. The house we rented was great for us: 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. 6 of each were in the house and there is a room attached to the garage. The living room is large. The dining table and foldout table accommodated all of us. The courtyard was nice and we used it for grilling and eating out there also. Lots of room. The front patio has plenty of comfortable seating and a fire pit which we used each evening. The front yard was the beach. The kids could go out and play in the sand and we could watch from the porch and living room. We also played family games out there. Next to the beach in front of us was a grassy field where we played soccer and baseball. Also the kids enjoyed the playground nearby. It was a few blocks to shops, snack shops and fun zone. We walked to the ferry to a ride to Balboa Island. This was the perfect house for our large family and the perfect location. The Property Management personnel, Vicky and Peter, were great and very helpful. We had a great time as a family. I would recommend this house and the manager. They are great people to work with.
We had a great time.
Great house and a great location, right on the beach. The property was clean. We left an ipad there and the property managers sent it right out to us!! Great customer service
Generally good. A couple of maintenance issues occurred during the week, but the maintenance staff responded very quickly.
Great house, amazing location and staff informative and helpful. Before could have a question they had already sent me information/updates.
This is a great old house with the best patio on Newport. The house is not modern and fancy, but it is clean with plenty of room for everyone. The management is very helpful and will respond immediately if you need help with anything. The view from the master suite on the second floor is amazing. The location cannot be beat. So much to do within walking distance. Park your cars and walk everywhere. Best vacation house for my extended family. We will definitely be back again and again.
We had extended family for this trip. The house is perfect for a larger group. We had 16 people and were very comfortable. Great Location 1 blck from Balboa Pier
We had a great vacation! Everything was clean and we loved having the large space for our family. Everyone had a room and lots of room for the kids to play. Will rebook for next year this week. Thank you!
Had a vey wonderful time on our vacation. The house was huge and able to accmadte our rather large family. I would recommend it to anyone.
Size and location worked out great for our family. We had expected a 7bedroom,2kitchen home with a fireplace. Upon arrival we found that the 2nd kitchen and fireplace were not for guest use. The oven would not get hot. In one of the bathrooms,the cold water faucet was missing,leaving only hot water to brush your teeth. In the same bathroom,the cold water faucet handle in the shower was broken. The grout around the tub was turning black. Overall we had an enjoyable time.
We had a large group and this house had plenty of room and was right on the beach. Perfect location. One of our favorite parts was the patio couch for afternoon naps!
Would have been nice to have instructions on how to operate TVs, where bedding was stored and where washing machine was located. Chair was broken, no kitchen app worked upstairs, fireplace did not work. But... we Loved Loved the location and it worked very well for our family Thank you
Old And quirky but a perfect spot for our large family to enjoy a vacation together.
My daughter got married in Corona Del Mar and we rented the house for our family and out of town guests. The house was perfect. So clean and the beds were so comfortable. The location is amazing. It was great that each room has its own bathroom. No one wanted to leave. Thank you
We have made reservations for the same property for next year...
The size of the property was perfect for all 19 of us. We love the fact that each room has a full bath which makes getting ready much quicker/easier. Love the beachfront and easy access to the beach. The master room with the ocean view was awesome. Our overall experience was really good, only negative is that I was expecting a more remodeled property. The rooms and furniture was older than expected, the coffee table had a hole that was not repaired. The appliances in the master room was not working. The house smells a little old and wet. The positives definitely outweighs the negative we would totally recommend the property to others.
We were a large group of ladies looking for a beach getaway where we could relax and have fun without anyone sleeping in a kiddie bed or on the floor. This rental was perfect! It's walking distance from a little café for coffees and sandwiches, and several different restaurants. The ocean views were a lovely sight every day as well. PROS: almost everything! Specifically, the cute tile work characteristic of older homes, convenience of the location,and lots of rooms/beds/bathrooms for a big group. Also, Zabrina from the property management company was super helpful. CONS: upstairs mini-kitchen appliances aren't functioning (I knew this coming in from other reviews) and freezer does not have an ice-maker.
Absolutely a great location for our Southern California family reunion. Beach is just out the door. Easy access to Disneyland and sea world. All family members want to stay here again.
The location of this house can't be beat. You walk out of your front door onto the beach. There are multiple wonderful restaurants in walking distance and you can catch the ferry to balboa island is just a block or two away.
We had a wonderful time staying at this rental near the Balboa Pier. It was just far enough away from the pier that there was no noise at night. We were a very large group of adults and children but we all fit with the 7 bedrooms and bathrooms. The house is right next to the beach so we could have games with the children overnight on the sand. The waves are a little harsher at this part of the Newport Beach so we ether walker or drove down to the Newport Pier so that all of the youth and children could play together. This is the first family reunion that we all said that that this was the best rental ever. We are looking forward to renting it again in 2 years at the next family reunion.
Enjoyed the rental very much, location is great; probably one of the few rentals with A/C with exception of a couple of rooms.Well kept. Did not like the idea of not given the chance to rent it for the same time next year!
Wonderful accommodations for lots of people. location A+, cleanliness A+, location A+.<br/><br/>Minor downsides:<br/>- cant see the water from patio and the water is a long walk through the sand<br/>- water there is very tough to swim in since the wave is a monster standing wave. bike down to Newport Pier for much better swimming and body surfing<br/>- kitchen is VERY closed off, not open concept at all<br/>- seemed like a bunch of rooms that could have had single beds in them<br/><br/>in summary, A+, would book again in a heartbeat.
Very good. New locking system was a little tricky. Ed did a great job responding to our wifi problems upon arrival and he responded quickly to our phone call regarding a broken window. He's great.
Our Thanksgiving vacation was wonderful. The home was large enough for our big group and everyone had a great time. It was an older home with all the uniqueness of one which is one reason it was so charming. The finishes were newer and clean so you could tell it had been updated in the last few years. The kids had a blast sleeping on the top floor in the crows nest, and the bedroom next to the garage. The location was great, near the shops and pier but not right in the middle of them. A large grass area was just next to the home although there was also a parking lot. We were able to park our three big trucks in the designated parking for the home. The garage was very convenient to store our bikes and ice chests in. The only drawback to the location is that due to the large berm of sand you could not see the ocean from the first floor. The master bedroom had a wonderful view although one of the blinds would not raise. The only other problem was the lack of flatware in the kitchen. It was sorely lacking and our group of 12 could not all eat at the same time, (a problem for Thanksgiving dinner when you have to share utensils). Being the home is advertised as sleeping 19 you would think it would have enough. There were plenty of plates and glasses though. The kitchen was nice to cook in and large enough although not an open floor plan. The kitchenette in the master bedroom was a waste of space since it was not usable- no electricity. We weren't given that information until check in, which was painless. Communication with the rental company was great and they were always quick to answer my emails. Overall it was a wonderful house and we would not hesitate to rent it again.
This rental property is the perfect place to fit a large family. I've rental properties in the area and am local to Orange County! I'm very impressed that this property had so much space and having multiple bathrooms was such a plus. Everything was seamless and having 5 spots for parking is unbeatable. We had a nice event for my father's 60th bday with catering and all and this place was able to hold the guests that we invited. Close to many attractions for the kids, grocery store, liquor store, and fun bar for adults a few steps away and the Balboa boardwalk. We will most definitely rent this place again some day!
I hosted a meeting with 6 business associates and the property was perfect. There were 7 in attendance with a bedroom and bath for each. This is the largest Newport Rental with 7 bedrooms and a great setup for our casual meetings. The beach and surrounding area made everything needed within walking distance. The team loved the location and accommodations. I would happily recommend 1002 E Oceanfront and am considering it for a personal vacation.
Beautiful property, close to pier, ocean, park and fun zone. We had my 70th birthday party there. All the guests loved the property and location. Everything was well maintained, except for three items. For one, the lights in the courtyard. It was dark, but we had our own lights, luckily. It was a great area for our dinner party. Two, there is one fixture that should be fixed that holds the rope that people hold to go up or down the stairs. Three, the pink bike's handle bars need to be repaired. Loved the charm of the home, that I believe was built in the 1930's. It has been nicely renovated. Lovely front area. It was definitely hard to park two cars in the garage, not leaving much room to open the doors. They tell you that upfront. for safety. Our guests enjoyed the boogie boards there. We enjoyed our stay, and loved the venue for this special party.
Our family had a very enjoyable trip to Balboa area. The access to the beach is awesome. Great access to other Newport attractions and Disneyland. The rental served our needs for 11 adults and the children. This is our second year at the site. Everyone enjoyed the whole experience.
We had approximately 17 people stay in and out for the week. Overall it was a great experience, perfect location and comfortable living space. There were a couple of things (plumber came out due to a faulty toilet) that we could have done without but when he arrived he acted fast and was friendly. Since we are paying quite a bit per night there are a few suggestions to make the stay a better experience:<br/> - The kitchen needs plenty of kitchen towels (there was only 1), dish washing soap, cleaning wipes or spray for the counters (there wasn't any) and proper trash can bags (didn't fit the round can). These small things make for nicer stay given the price. <br/> - The BBQ's were challenging to ignite, not sure there was enough propane. We made due but shouldn't have to?<br/> - Good running plumbing.<br/>AGAIN - overall it was a fabulous stay and we would definitely stay again - it was perfect for our family. Just some small suggestions to make the guest feel like everything is thought of..<br/>Thank you!<br/><br/>
We used the house for a company trip and it was awesome! Everyone had their own bed/bathroom and location was great. Walking distance to restaurants and bars and bonus that the house sits right on the beach. Waking up to the sound of waves everyone morning was so awesome.
We had a lovely experience!
It was awesome!!!! The app was very helpful. The house was great.
We love this house and its convenient location. The kitchen was better stocked than previous years. Zabrina was very helpful with our needs. The outdoor shower needs a handle and we missed the extra room behind 2nd floor bedroom-it was locked off this year. We will definitely be back next year.
Old and quirky but it easily accommodated my family of 17. Tons of beach towels, decent bath towels, and generously stocked with paper goods to start our vacation. Large courtyard in back and a very nice patio in front. Loved the 5 parking spots. Wish they hadn't raised the rent $3000 a week for 2018! Especially since I got an email saying I could book now at 2017 rates only to be told that I shouldn't have received that email. All the people at NBVP were great.
We had our annual sales meeting in Southern CA and wanted to stay somewhere other than a hotel. The house was a great alternative. Fantastic location. Great place to explore the area from.
My husband and I rented this property out for our whole wedding party since we had a destination wedding in Long Beach and this was the biggest rental property we found nearby. It worked well for all of us who stayed and there were 16 or 17 of us total I believe. The place was nice, everything worked well and was comfortable for all of us. The only thing I noticed was that it was so hot in the house. We had the air on and some rooms didn't get air conditioning it seemed like. Luckily, there were some floor fans in house and we brought some into the rooms but some of the fans didn't work. All in all, we made it work and it was a fun stay. The outside area with the fire pit on the beach was amazing. That was where most of us spent our time since we're from Phoenix and the weather outside was beautiful at night. I also would suggest that the company post more pictures of the detached 7th bedroom off of the courtyard. Some posts previously mentioned that the room was weird or different and actually, the couple that stayed in there loved the room. Its a cute space for a couple who wants their own space. The only thing with that room is that the bathroom is small but at least there's a bathroom so I won't complain, and that there is no air conditioning in that room either. But there are windows that you can leave open and there was a fan in there for them to stay cool. I think pictures of that room will help people understand what it looks like since it's not really described! Other than that, it was perfect walking distance to the restaurants, bars, pier, everything! Would recommend to others.
Perfect perfect perfect . I envisioned what the perfect family celebration of our 10 year wedding anniversary would be like. Our stay exceeded any expectations . Location is perfect. From kids playing in the sand ,to swimming in the ocean,morning walk on the pier or boardwalk ,riding your bicycle, relaxing on your beachfront home under a gazebo or a little more quiet in the atrium, having a cold one in the corner cantina or the beachfront ,ocean view from property ,maybe walk across the street and jump on the ferry to balboa island. Taking younger kids to the FUN ZONE. Did I mention all of this to do and more is within four blocks of the location.<br/>Our guests ranged from 6 months to 56yrs and we all had a blast. Would definitely plan to come back. Thank you from all my family.
This house was the perfect set up for my large family of 21. Family members ages ranged from 16 months to 93 years old. The house was very comfortable and clean inside and out. With 7 bathrooms and 7 bedrooms everyone was able to find a comfortable place to sleep. Everything worked fine and seemed very well maintained. We absolutely loved, and spent most of our down time outside in front of the fire pit. Used almost 2 canisters of propane. It kept us cozy and provided a nice light into the night. When we needed more we just called and it was delivered. Vicki Hagan and Zoey were great when we needed something or had questions. The location is perfect for accessing almost everything on foot. We found a great place for lattes a couple of blocks away and lots of great restaurants nearby. However the location was far enough away from the serious tourist attractions, so the nights were quiet. Everyone along the board walk was friendly. We enjoyed watching the huge variety of dogs being walked at all times. And of course we made many trips across the sandy beach to the ocean! I would definitely stay at 1002 East Oceanfront again.
Perfect place for our large diverse family.
Good overall, would recommend.
We rented this home for 20 of us an felt like we had plenty of space. The home is older and has some charm to it. The Courtyard is beautiful and you can walk to all the shops. The only thing I would like to see if better A/C as it got really warm in the house. Other than that, we were pleased with the home and would go back!
The house accommodated our family of 9 adults and 7 grand kids very comfortably, with dinners together in the large courtyard. Beach and volleyball just outside the door were a big hit.<br/>Things to improve. The outdoor shower had no faucet handle. The bedroom off the courtyard should be better described in the property description, as it felt like a converted storage room and none of our guests were comfortable using it.
This is our 3rd year at this house. Love the location. Just steps from the beach. Great gathering area in the dining area for eating and games. Great for larger families with beds for 17. <br/>Great opportunity this year to see whales, just from the beach, at least 3 of the 7 days we were there.
Great stay at a fun family place. We enjoyed this place for the second time. Right on the beach and great for kids.
The house was a great option for a larger group. There was plenty of space for everyone to feel like they have some privacy. The fire pit and couches out front were a really nice feature. The master bedroom has an amazing view and is massive but it gets really hot in the morning when the sun is hitting it. The bedrooms were all clean and the beds comfortable. The kitchen is a bit small but manageable since there is huge grill outside. Everyone at Newport beach rentals was really helpful and accommodated a last minute plumbing issue by giving us a lovely upgrade. Great weekend getaway house
I wish we could stay at this property forever. Waking up the oceanfront view is one of the most amazing experiences. It is the essence of relaxation! This is the only property that could fit my large family. It has a great patio to relax as you watch the kids play in the sand. We set up some tables to BBQ in the courtyard. 5 car parking is a miracle in Newport. Newport Beach vacation properties was so profession and friendly.
