We had one week in this beautiful home - our 3rd stay there. It is clean, light, away from the busyness of Newport and Balboa piers (but you can still walk to them) yet only a block & a half from the sand! The host is a premier host, but should have several gold stars besides! Tim is so kind and responsive for us - our group all arrives by air at different times, and he makes it work. It is a wonderful place for our annual kids and grands reunion. The VRBO is perfect for a crowd yet not crowded, being two distinct and complete, spacious units. The kitchens are well-equipped and are new and modern; 7 lovely bathrooms, newly remodeled; great for all ages and a very peaceful and safe neighborhood on a one-way street; air-conditioning is great; garage is equipped with beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, toys for young children; lovely thick beach towels. Great patio downstairs where we ate dinner every evening. We have made many fun memories there! Thank you, Tim!
