We definitely felt welcome. Our stay was good and cozy.
Everything was clean with basic essentials. Walking distance from the beach was great! But I do recommend a wall AC unit. We had all the windows open and ceiling fans on during the day.

I had a wonderful time
My family and I had a wonderful time staying 9 days on the Bay side with a gorgeous view of the harbor. Our only issue was a burned out lightbulb that we couldn't reach, which was replaced within hours of our notification. This was our first rental with Beachview but certainly not our last.
Overall I enjoyed my stay. Prop mgmt is very good keeping guests informed. There are 1 million rules that seem a little excessive but very friendly communication. The wifi was janky the first night but they had it fixed the next day. Location is prime for the price. Bay in front. Short walk to beach/boardwalk and very quiet neighborhood. It does get quite cold at night and there is only a wall heater in the living room. So the bedroom has no heat, a lot of drafty windows and very thin blankets. PM: provide a space heater or a bunch more blankets or both. The bed is also not comfy and the living room couch needs repair or replacement. You do share space with the other part of the house, so be aware. The spiral staircase is pretty gnarly so be somewhat fit going up and down. NB is a beautiful town and if you want something clean and not fancy and will be spending all your time out and about, this place will do. The PM is very responsive.
Nice place. This may be listed, but we were surprised to have to walk along the side of the house to get to a spiral staircase to get to the unit. Dimnly lit & a little awkward to find.
The property is a great spot for a small family. Easy access to the beach and marina. Parking is crazy, but if you rent bikes, it is super easy to get around. We had a great time.
We booked this house very last minute and for our family of 4 it was a perfect spot. It’s about a 15 minute walk in either direction to get to the main hustle and bustle of Newport and/or Balboa. Very clean, easy checkin and out. I would stay again l! Thanks so much!

Liked: Check-in, communication
Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Property is very old need lots of renovations Old furniture you sink in the couches old mattress and pillows old smelly carpet and rugWrong description on the website it indicated it’s on the beach and the bayUnit is in the back no view at allWith narrow and spiral stairs to the 2nd FLTerrible it shouldn’t be rented it should be gutted with more accurate description
The home was conveniently located close enough to the beach, yet away from the chaos. The check-in/out process was quick and easy and the staff was awesome to work with. We had no issues with parking. However, I can see that it could be troublesome in the busy season. Overall, a great place to stay!! We will definitely be back!!
Perfect for 2 people. Would have liked a dishwasher with the unit to ensure cleanliness and sanitizations of the dishes used. Had some issues with the alarms but those were promptly addressed by the property management.

Really enjoy the location and one of the cleanest rentals we’ve ever stayed in.
Only disappointment was the pictures show a balcony which I believe is misleading, no access to it. The rental office said the picture was just to show their rental sign, still believe it’s misleading considering the view of the marina is across the street.
Rental was clean, plenty of space for up to 4 people. Location was superb for all beach related activities. Only SMALL complaints I have if you’d even call them complaints is that being at the mercy of street parking was slightly inconvenient but only once or twice (just walk or bike places and save the trouble) and the bed is quite dated and I really believe should be upgraded to a King size. All in all the rest of the experience was superb, so happy we got to stay there!
