Our vacation at Ann’s dreamy ocean-view getaway was absolutely wonderful! The views were breathtaking, and her place had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The beds were cozy, and every detail made us feel right at home. We had such a great time, an experience our family will always remember. We would definitely love to stay here again!

Best friends

4 friends that went to high school together 52 years ago. We walked Balboa Island and to the ferry which we took to Catalina Island on a different day. We had so much fun! The beds were really comfortable and so nice to have an extra sink in one of the rooms. We even handled the stairs really well for 72 year old ladies! Beautiful beach view!!

Perfect Beach Getaway!

Our family of five absolutely loved our stay at Anne's property. The panoramic beach view alone was worth the price! Loved being close to many restaurants as well as the beach, but still found it to be relatively quiet and and peaceful at night. The home was fully stocked and we appreciated the little touches like dimmer switches on the lights and the availability of beach toys. We definitely hope to return!

Loved Every Minute of our California Beach Vacation!

We had an amazing week at this fabulous, beach front property! The views were breathtaking, the nightly bonfires on the beach will be treasured memories as will the breathtaking sunsets, ocean waves, bike and ferry rides, “cronuts” and street tacos!! Thank you Ann for being an amazing, responsive and generous host! We can’t wait for our next trip to Newport.

Beach stay for Soccer Showcase In Norco

We opted to stay at the beach and drive the 50 minutes to the soccer fields for a college showcase. The drive was EASY. The house was PERFECT! I had my daughter and 2 other girls on the team, there was so much to do and the girls could walk around and explore on their own. Ann was great with communication. We made dinners some nights, the kitchen had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend and would absolutely stay here again!

Wonderful Beach Vacation

This property is right on the beach and very convenient to everything Newport Beach has to offer. We rented bikes, stayed for hours on the beach, and even enjoyed a bonfire right next to the Pacific Ocean. The rental is exactly as described. The kitchen is fully stocked which allowed us to do a few meals and avoid eating every meal out. I highly recommend this rental unit.

Great experience......

Clean accommodations, responsive staff and absolutely beautiful area. The only "problem" was the stairs due to age of guests. That was of my own doing and we chose the upstairs unit. I would definitely stay here again, just in the downstairs unit. Thank you for the fabulous vacation.
