We flew across the country to stay in Newport Beach. Our plane landed at 12 pm. We arrived at house at 1 pm. Check-in was at 4 pm. We requested early check-in. We had to wait outside the door with suitcases for nearly 2 hours before they would give us the entry code. The house was ready the entire time. This was unacceptable and uncalled for. General maintenance for the house appeared to be neglected for many years. Parts of the window blinds literally broke and fell to the floor upon touching them. We had to frequently rig and fix them. The washer and dryer were unusable until about day 2 or 3 due to hoses not being properly hooked up. The coffee pot was not cleaned, full of old coffee grounds, and mold was growing inside. From that, we hypothesized this house is not frequently rented. It takes a while for mold to grow. Also, black mold was growing in the shower.The listing says will sleep 4. That is ridiculous. The house sleeps 3. The 2nd bedroom had a 1-person day bed and a futon. Our friends had to bring a queen size blow-up mattress. We rearranged furniture to make it temporarily livable for 2 couples. The house was kinda cool and had the "old feel" to it, which appeared to be the general theme of the area, but general maintenance was not performed for many years. The living room TV had to be at least 10-15 years old. The TV stand was rigged to fit the TV, making it look ridiculous. The bedrooms had no TVs.We made the best of it.

Recent stay

House was as advertised in a nice area steps to the Bay and Ocean. Upon arrival, however, house was very dirty...floors were dirty and sticky, bathroom toilet was not cleaned and Kitchen looked like it had not been cleaned in a few weeks. Kitchen was well stocked, but the Microwave looked like it was from 1971. Still managed to have a nice time, but property manager needs to get a new cleaning service for what they charge per night to rent this place.

Great location, lots of quirks

Loved the location of this house and the proximity to the beach. Very clean property. There have been a few minor changes to the property since the listing photos were taken. It's not a very intuitive space and it took time to figure out the pull out bed and the lights. Minivans be warned that the garage is TIGHT. I scraped the side of my van pulling into the garage. Driving from out of state and dealing with California traffic I found the one hour window to pick up the keys at the realty office a hard deadline to make. A keyless entry option would have been nice.

Great location but house needs updating

The location is perfect, literally steps from the bay and a few blocks to the beach. The house itself definitely could use some updating throughout. It had a bit of a musty nursing home smell to it at first, but we just bought candles and air freshener which definitely helped. The appliances are old and dingy and could use updating as well, we didn’t really feel comfortable making our own food at the property. The indoor/outdoor furniture needed cleaned. There were a few visible stains on the couch in the living room and we couldn’t sit at the outdoor table in nice clothes because the chairs and table were so dirty. Despite those details we had a good experience, but would definitely consider a more updated property next time at a similar price point instead.

We loved our stay! Steps away from the marina, and only a few short blocks to the beach. We were able to walk everywhere, with access to great restaurants and shops a mile or less away. Only a few minutes from the airport. Can’t wait to come back!

Perfect Place

1009 Bay Street has a view of the marina from the front window--an idyllic view. There are cute tables and chairs in the front yard where you can sit out and enjoy the view from an even closer perspective. The owner was very kind and friendly and shared home-grown citrus with me. I wish I had spoken to her longer as we seemed to share the same interest in books. The bookshelf overflows with spiritual and motivational writing such as "The Bhagavad Gita" and "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff." I really wanted to extend my stay so I could read more of the excellent reading selection. The art and figurines were also beautifully chosen and omens of good luck. I felt blessed to be there and my stay was peaceful and restful. The neighborhood was the best. I had a bike so I rode to Balboa one day and then to Newport the next. I rode on Buena Vista drive and saw the gorgeous homes along the bayside. Walking along the beach was also fun and so close by. The duplex is ideally located. It was an awesome trip and I had a wonderful time.

Cozy holiday getaway

Stayed here with my family for the Thanksgiving holiday. Fantastic location with a calm, kid-friendly beach that was great for swimming out the front door, and a block and a half from the ocean out the back door. It was just the right size for our family of four. We hosted some of our extended family who were also in town for Thanksgiving dinner, and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare and serve a full Thanksgiving dinner. Will definitely stay here again!!

Fall Break Trip with my Daughters

The location was perfect for my two little girls (twins, age 5). We could just walk across to Mothers Beach which is perfect for younger kids. They loved to hunt seashells and play in the sand. The house is very clean; however a little dated. With just some new furnishings, and possibly better sleeping options, I’m sure you could really intrigue people to come more often. That said; I was pleased with the property and would definitely come back!

Hidden little location. Beautiful and quiet. Fully furnished kitchen, wide open sliding door in living room. Front porch is a nice touch even thought sitting furniture is a bit old and dirty, still lovely location and rental. Full beach is closely accessible a couple blocks away. Parking garage is available but to small for out Tacoma truck but there's always parking around the the front of the house. Only recommendation is to get some smelly candles since the house does smell muggy. Overall we would surely rent again.

Great location, animal allergies beware

As others have mentioned the “queen” bed is actually a full. It’s advertised as a dog property, we have two dogs which we did not bring this time. As soon as we walked in we were immediately hit with what commonly smells like a veterinarian’s office. We immediately opened all windows and after 2 days the smell mostly was masked. However I’m fairly certain there have been cats in the property. The master bedroom bathroom smells exactly like a liter box, that smell never went away. I’m also very allergic to cats, never a problem with dogs, and I was miserable with my allergies and asthma the entire trip unless I was outside. I know it’s a dog property, and we have 2 big dogs, but I’ve never been in a house that smelled so much. Please put some sort of air purifier or something. We really enjoyed our time there, but this issue will probably keeps us from returning to this exact property.
