We loved this place! We are a family of 5 with high school/college aged kids, and their friends. We take an annual beach trip to SoCal and this was our 2nd time in Newport Beach. The bedrooms are good sized and perfect layout for our group. The teenagers loved the 4x bunk setup in the 2nd bedroom. 3 bathrooms makes a HUGE difference for a larger group. The host was very responsive and friendly. We had a phone call over a payment glitch and ended up chatting for 30 minutes about the area and California overall. The volleyball nets and fire pits are right there in front of the house. We had the 2nd floor. LOTS of stairs, so we got our steps in. The towels were wrapped in plastic and set out for us, including some beach towels. Nice touch. I think the only very small thing to mention is that the 2nd floor guests need to walk through the 1st floor guests' beach-side private patio. Our neighbors were a bit confused about this the first time. The host communicated this to us, and I imagine they did the same for our neighbors. There's some cool restaurants nearby, Cabo has the best views of the pier/walkway from the bar. :) The local liquor mart has grocery items and FIREWOOD for the pits. Turning into the garage in the alley can be challenging but we saw larger vehicles using the garages just fine. Overall, one of our favorite beach rentals. We would certainly rent here again.
