Lou was amazing, met us to walk through the condo and offered us early access to beach gear and to store luggage while we waited for it to be cleaned.Great location near the beach, restaurants, grocery store, etc. Had a car but didn’t need it (unless we were exploring other beach towns). One of the best stocked places we’ve traveled to! There was an issue with the hot water heater that was fixed (a nice brand new hot water heater has been installed) so there won’t be issues going forward! Lou took great care to not inconvenience us with the new installation.Would highly recommend and would stay again!

The perfect location
This was the PERFECT location for our stay in Newport Beach. We were within 10 minutes of everywhere we needed to go and within very close walking distance of the beach. The property was loaded with everything we could need. Lou was very helpful and a great host. We would definitely stay here again!

Phenomenal beach stay!
My husband and I stayed here for a month -- we absolutely loved it! Fantastic location, great property, all the amenities you need and everything within walking distance. Just a block and a half to the beach. Our host, Lou, was beyond compare -- extremely friendly, very responsive and helpful. Would happily stay here again!

Our group of four girlfriends takes an annual long weekend trip together, and this year’s stay was absolutely perfect! The house was amazing, spotless, fully stocked, and so comfortable. The beds were dreamy, and the garage had every beach toy and accessory you could ever want.The location couldn’t be better. It was close to everything. We walked almost everywhere all weekend! There are fantastic restaurants, shops, and both piers, all within walking distance. We even rode the provided beach cruisers (which were in excellent condition and super comfy) all the way around the Back Bay loop trail (10.5 miles!) and through the Peninsula. It was such a blast!Lew, our host, was wonderful, so friendly and responsive. He greeted us at check-in, gave us a quick tour, and answered messages right away. Since no one was checking in the day we left, he even offered us a late checkout without us asking, such a thoughtful touch.We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. This place truly deserves 10 stars if we could give them! We’ve already decided we’re coming back next year!

Fantastic place to stay for family vacation!
Lou was a wonderful host and has a great home walking distance from the beach. The proximity to the beach, fully equipped rental, spacious rooms, and many beach toys made our vacation top notch. Lou was super communicative and was prompt to answer any questions we had. Would definitely recommend to anyone and look forward to returning!

Great Beach Vacation
We were wanting to spend a few relaxing days at the beach after a few more active days at Disneyland and this was the perfect spot. Less than a two minute walk along a non busy sidewalk to the non crowded beach, the house was well stocked with everything we could need or want to enjoy the area (chairs, umbrellas, coolers, bikes, etc.). The host was very personable and attentive without being overbearing. Highly recommended! Wish we could have stayed longer!

A Wonderful Stay!
After a long day of travel from the East Coast, our family was warmly welcomed by Lou personally and we walked into a impeccably clean and organized home. Lou was so kind to show us around. The location is amazing--we walked everywhere! The beach path every morning for coffee and donuts, to the beach to hang out in the sun using all the equipment in the fully stocked garage (seriously, anything you could think of needing is there), across the street to grocery shop, and out to dinner at some amazing restaurants. Lou's home and hospitality certainly made our trip comfortable and enjoyable. I would not hesitate to stay here again if we make our way out west in the future! Highly recommend!!

Girl's Weekend
Lou is hands down the best VRBO host I have ever experienced. He met us at the door and showed us through the house and amenities. He had a large basket of snacks, a big bowl of candy and plenty of bathroom supplies. Then in the garage he had everything you could need to enjoy a beach vacation. Bikes, helmets, coolers, beach chairs, sand toys and beach towels. The house was very comfortable and well stocked. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach, shops and places to eat. The grocery store is one block away. If you are looking for a great beach rental choose Lou's!!

Great beach house
The house was perfect as described. The floorplan worked great for our family. Lou greeted us right on time and quickly showed us how everything worked. The biggest surprise was just how loaded the garage was. He has at least 2 of every single beach toy you could ever want. The bikes were the most fun, you could be anywhere on them in minutes. Hope to be back very soon. Thanks again Lou!

amazing trip
Lou met us at check in and gave us a tour of the unit and amenities. We had four adults and three children in our group and the bikes, sand toys, chairs and boogie boards were a wonderful addition to the rental. The beach is very close and an easy 2 min walk from the house. The sunset was beautiful from the comfortable patio couch. There is a Pavillion's grocery store right across the street that was super convenient for preparing family meals. The Hook and Anchor restaurant was close by and had amazing lobster rolls. Parking was easy and directly at the back of the unit. Our stay at Lou's place exceeded our expectations and we would love to return in the future. As fellow hosts with 600 4.95 reviews, we have very high standards and Lou knocked it out of the park.

Owner of property lives directly about living room/kitchen
When we got there the owner insisted on meeting us there and then told us the garage code and a tour of the house. He lives directly on top of the kitchen/living room so any noise he was there to complain. First confrontation was him scolding my brother in law for riding his bike with a music speaker, second was pounding on the door at 10:13pm spring break weekend and said neighbors were complaining (him) and asked how many people I had I showed him and it was only 9 (2 were just visiting and did not stay overnight). Then third was him telling my kids friends outside his balcony”I don’t get it? I don’t get it?” We like to dance and sing and play charades. If you don’t like music and laughter then don’t rent your house.
Pros he has a huge snack tray awaiting you.
Garage is filled with bike and beach stuff.
The warden style rental I’ll pass! I paid way too much (over three thousand) to be scolded for dancing and singing
