Amazing Beach Getaway
We loved the location of this property in relation to beach access, as well as all the other attractions on the peninsula. We could walk to restaurants and shops. We felt safe, and the location was at a premium spot for where we needed and wanted to go. The airport is close by so that was convenient as well.

Good Location, Skin Deep Quality
To start with the positives, it’s a great location. 15th has great access to the beach and easily can reach either pier in the area. Cleanliness within the unit was good. The patio was nice and shaded well. And to be honest, the patio is the highlight of the location. The A-frame style is pretty fun as well. They do a good job to maximize the usable space. Now for the negatives. Walking up to the unit, the smell of full trash cans rolls over you. You basically have to squeeze by the numerous full trash cans to get into the unit. Very unbecoming and really would hope the entrance was not walking by that. The unit was HOT! Weather while we visited was only 81 at the high. However, when we showed up it was at least 15 degrees hotter inside than out. Why wouldn’t the company make sure the unit was comfortable for us on check in? None of the fans were on. All the windows were shut. And to be honest, this problem persisted even with us opening all windows and turning on all fans. You will get no breeze coming through the place because it sits 90 degrees to the typical wind direction. We had a beach chair that was ripped on arrival and when we called to report it, it took a full day for them to replace it. In the loft, there are no handrails to prevent anyone from falling down the ship ladder from the top. And the floor was so unstable up there, I’m not sure I would want to be up there or even put a kid up there. Definitely not safe. Also, nothing was plugged in. No lights, nothing. Other weird things were tinfoil on every cooking surface, including the BBQ. Or windows missing screens. Or the dead plant on the patio. One of our emails prior to checking said the wait would be worth it. I wouldn’t agree. So if all you care about it location, good spot. Otherwise, maybe look elsewhere.

Perfect Stay!
I stayed with my 5 year old and 8 year old grandsons. The set up was perfect as they slept upstairs (and thought that was the coolest!), while I slept downstairs. We were a block from the ocean and a block from the bay. Ideal location. The amenities were just what was needed and the unit may have been the cleanest unit I have ever rented!!

Amazing location!
We loved our visit to Newport and our stay in this great rental. It had everything we needed and was an extremely short walk to the beach and up the boardwalk to restaurants and shops. We also loved the condo's big patio area where we could hang out in the cool beach air. The communication from the property manager was very clear, and the check-in and check-out processes were simple and easy to execute. Would love to come back again!

WONDERFUL !
Such a well appointed place - location can NOT be beat. Having our bike rental ready and waiting was such a nice touch and we had so much fun biking around the boardwalk and town . Everything we needed was on site-- 15th Street surf shop is a great place to do wetsuit rentals. Property Managers were SO helpful and communicative. We will definitely be back

Great time!!
The property manager was very helpful. The property was perfect for 4 of us. The market is less than a block walk. The beach is a block walk. Very clean. The only suggestion is to change the physical key to a lock door code so the guests do not need to have an extra stop to pick up the physical key at a separate office. We had a great time and great weather.
