They have a checkin area where you can unload all your stuff as well before moving your car to the parking lot. The cottages have a microwave & a refrigerator with a sink. You can't use the stove/oven, just FYI. I did a 1 nighter in a shared cottage in November. It was cooler weather and we were in the white house upstairs. We had the loft and another party had the side room. We have no issues sharing the common space and it was fun to experience. This April, I scored a 2 night in cottage 4B on the only rainy/gloomy weekend we've had here. Of all the luck. Within 6days of reservation date, you lose 1 night stay so it was sunk cost so I went ahead and did both nights. Easy to check in and checkout. If you are down the hill, you can get a ride on the golf carts which are very nice. 2 cars overnight as well per cabin. Rooms were clean. There is no AC so be prepared depending on your weather. I wanted to leave windows open but most don't have a screen so you get bugs and I was afraid of critters coming in. (Saw it on a youtube from someone. ) Each cottage is different but great to get away. Beautiful location! SYOY!

Each experience was unique and provided a ton of family memories. This rental property provides a first-class view of the ocean and is two steps from the boardwalk and beach. Our family and friends have never experienced a more convenient location- in terms of closeness to the beach and within a short walk to the grocery store, bar and grills, local shopping and surf school. We will probably vacation here forever because of the prime location and the owner and her assistant. They are always pleasant and willing to go the extra mile to assure the comfort of our family. Recently, each unit was updated with fresh paint, new tile, and new furniture. There is also a grill provided for summer family BBQs. We cannot thank Diane and NP Beachhouse enough for the wonderful hospitality and great family experience!

The entire experience exceeded our expectations, from the gorgeous location to the wonderful accommodations and excellent communication. I don't ever want to leave!

I don't think I could come up with something negative if you held a gun to my head! The roof deck was the crown jewel, but there were 3 different outdoor areas to relax, lounge, etc each with a view, or privacy, and in some cases both. The inside was exactly as pictured and described. Spacious, well-appointed, and complete. Bathrooms, bedrooms, and kitchen were all spotlessly clean and free of sand--which is saying something because we were 1 block from the beach! The view, the proximity to the beach, the walkability to restaurants and shops, I can't imagine ever even looking for something better! We were able to accommodate 3 1/2 couples! Finally, the host was on call and responded immediately on even the most minor of questions. Plus, they proactively reached out a couple times to make sure all was well!

My friend's meetup group had reservations for a Duffy boat and captain for a 2 hour cruise around…read moreNewport harbor. Unfortunately the cruise operator canceled due to a power outage affecting their dock. Since Duffy boats are electric vehicles powered by batteries, not being able to charge the boats makes the rental not viable. I grew up in Newport and spent decades on the water so I set out on a mission to find another Duffy boat available for rent. Fortunately Duffy boat rentals had a 12 passenger boat available so we changed over at the last minute and went with them. Great little operation, right in the fun zone area of the Balboa peninsula. After filling out the waiver online when I made the reservation, a quick check in, review of Newport harbor maps and areas to remain clear of, I was given a checkout on the Duffy. We were on our way for a 2 hour cruise around Newport harbor, out to the entrance channel, past the harbor patrol, lifeguard, and US coast guard docks, under the Balboa island bridge, around harbor and Linda islands, past the coast highway bridge, down the inside of lido island, under the lido island bridge, dow the rhine channel, along the peninsula, past bay island and back to the fun zone. Perfect 2 hour cruise. Dock crew and customer service staff were great. Super easy and fun way to spend and early fall late afternoon. Highly recommend this, I'll be back to do it again soon.

If I could give zero stars, I would. This "host" runs what feels like a high‑fee, low‑standards…read moreoperation: the property was not guest‑ready on arrival, multiple fixtures were already broken or loose, and basic maintenance had clearly been deferred for some time. Throughout the stay, we dealt with pre‑existing issues (including a faulty toilet seat, loose towel racks, and other maintenance problems) that were documented in photos and reported via Airbnb at the outset. Instead of taking responsibility for those defects, the host later tried to reframe them as "guest damage" and filed a last‑minute claim nearly two weeks after checkout. The most troubling part is how the host attempted to justify the claim. They produced "Greenland Maintenance" invoices that, when you look at the contact details, appear to trace back to the host/management company itself, not an independent contractor, and even listed a non‑functional email address. A separate retail receipt showed inexpensive linen purchases from a big‑box store, presented as if they were evidence of substantial "damage." On top of that, this is a pet‑friendly listing with hefty upfront charges: cleaning fee, carpet shampoo fee, linen fee, and pet fee. After collecting all of those, the host still tried to bill hundreds of dollars more for so‑called "deep cleaning" for pet hair and minor chair "stains" that fall squarely within what any reasonable guest would expect those existing fees to cover. It felt like an attempt to double‑charge rather than a good‑faith response to actual damage. The cleaners were physically waiting in the driveway at checkout and entered immediately after we left, yet no issues were raised at the time. Only at the very end of Airbnb's reporting window did the host file an $800 claim. That timing, combined with self‑issued invoices and vague allegations, left me with zero confidence in the honesty or professionalism of this operation. I would not stay with this host again, and I would strongly urge anyone considering this property to read the fine print on all the extra fees and to document everything extensively if you decide to book despite these concerns. Airbnb are now taking action against them, per the screenshot attached of an email from Airbnb.

I did eventually received my full deposit back. As to the other charges, she explained to me that it Month2Month was stuck between my issues and the insistence of the actual homeowner in charging me the excessive charges. In the end she was able to negotiate a sizable reduction of the costs although I felt they were unfair to begin with. But I did want to add the context that in my case, the root cause seemed to be an unreasonable homeowner and acknowledge that Month2Month was caught in an awkward situation.
