If you're looking for a beach house rental, Skaii Homes is the place to go. I've rented 2 beach…read morehouses from them and both times were an A+ experience. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. First time I rented was in 2012 where we stayed at the W Style Beach House in Huntington Beach for my boyfriend's birthday bash. It was prime location and right next to the beach/main street. Sleeps around 6-8 people so it's definitely great for large groups. There is just so much to do from talking a stroll to the beach to bar hopping at the local bars. Another plus was the Starbucks just literally down the street! Second time around I rented the Royal Beach House, which was in September 2014 for my boyfriend's birthday again. It was an amazing 3-story house with tons of space. This time around it was a bit further from main street, but we were willing to sacrifice that for a larger place. We were blown away yet again the second time around. Will definitely be using Skaii Home's service as a yearly tradition. Be sure to check them out for your next beach house rental! You won't be disappointed.

We also enjoyed lunch, including a gourmet pepperoni pizza that was absolutely delicious. The bartender was incredibly friendly and made some of the best drinks. That evening, we unfortunately couldn't dine on the rooftop because it was reserved for an event, and only standing room was available. Instead, we sat at the bar and enjoyed the shrimp and tacos, which were both amazing. We also had great conversations with some very fun people. You have to try the bartender's famous Abuelita Horchata cocktail, a delicious mix of chocolate and a dash of cinnamon. It was absolutely incredible! We'll definitely be coming back to enjoy the rooftop restaurant next time we'll check there is no event going on!

NP Beachhouse is one of the premier properties located in Newport Beach! My family and I have now…read morevacationed in the Upper and Lower units on two different occasions- once during Thanksgiving and once for two weeks during the summer. 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!

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!

The staff seem over-worked and underpaid so I don't blame them at all, this place needs new management. The one star is for the bartender because he had the best customer service there.

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

You can walk straight out and be on the beach in seconds, which made the entire experience feel relaxing and effortless. The house itself was just as impressive. Having three garage parking spots was a huge bonus, especially for traveling and storing bikes. It made everything so convenient and stress-free. The location couldn't have been better--just far enough from the main pier to enjoy quieter, less crowded beaches, but still close enough to easily bike or walk over when you want to be in the middle of everything. There's even a volleyball net right outside the house, which was such a fun added touch. Overall, this place checked every box for us. Peaceful, perfectly located, and incredibly convenient. We will definitely be returning!

After some business in Big Bear Lake, I figured on staying in Southern California for a couple of days. Only about 1,5 hours from Big Bear Lake so let's do it. It can be difficult finding an ocean front condo and for a reasonable price, but this place fit us perfectly and the price, although mid range, $500 per night was well worth it. Starting with Check in, it was seamless. Ryan, at the front desk made it so simple. Our unit, one bedroom, 1.5 bathrooms, kitchen living room and a terrace overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Can't ask for much more. Anything you need or want is literally within walking distance. Restaurants galore and many oceanfront. A supermarket about 50 yards from here. This is Southern California, so as the song goes " It Never Rains in California ". Yes I know there's more to this song, but I'm leaving it at that because the weather was absolutely perfect. From our terrace we could watch surfers all day and into the evening. The sunset was like an artist painting. Almost brings tears to your eyes. Just a couple of small issues. First, there are Ductless AC units in the condo but they weren't working. It's very warm, in the 90's, and no AC could be a problem. Ryan, at check in was upfront about this and told us there was a portable AC unit in our condo, which worked fine.disaster averted. Parking is very tight, but as I said before, anything you need is within walking distance, so once I parked my car, I never got in it again until we were leaving. Finally, yes it is ocean front, but there was a beach house in front of us so our view was slightly hindered but not enough to make a difference. If I'm back in this area, or anywhere nearby, I would definitely stay here, and they have a number of units so I'll let you know next time we're here and you can join us. You can be our guests.

The location is good but the unit is just "adequate". Photos are deceiving in that the unit (Roma)…read moreis pretty worn; not nearly as nice as the photos demonstrate. Security of the complex and parking area is minimal. Anyone from the alley can easily access the parking lot and all units in this complex (not a good thing in California). At least a week prior to our arrival, someone in the unit had broken a bottle of horridly pungent woman's perfume in the master bedroom. The entire unit reeked, particularly the bedroom, making that room virtually unusable. All windows in the unit had to be kept open 24/7 to make the unit somewhat livable. The odor was absorbed into our clothing and luggage. The cleaning staff, who are there only a couple hours per day at unpredictable times, informed us they had cleaned the smell to the best of their ability and there was nothing more they could do. Due to our inconvenience, we asked for either another unit and/or some other compensation. We were given neither, except the offer to move to a completely different complex for the last night of our five night stay. The management's lack of concern and fairness illustrates very poor business practice and ensures we will never rent from this group (Everyday Luxury) again.
