We had a wonderful visit to Newport Beach in July with our daughter, and grandchildren 3 and 5. The house is on the bike path in front of a small park and the beach. The location is perfect for any age, as there is lots to do within walking distance. We walked over to the beach in front of the house several times, and at night you can reserve a fire pit which was a fun activity. within a five-minute walk, you can rent motorized bikes (very fun), take the ferry to Balboa Island, or visit restaurants/stores. Marina Park on the inland side is a great beach for small children as there are no waves. Crystal Cove State Park is also worth a visit.
The house itself was very comfortable both inside and out, and it was immaculately clean. We particularly enjoyed the patio, as coming from Arizona it was lovely to eat outside in July. Ed was a great host who checked in with us before we arrived. Check-in and check-out were especially easy. We look forward to returning next year.
