this was a great home that was a short walk to the beach. we liked how spacious both the patio and living areas were. it was also nice to have a king size bed which you don't find in many places! we enjoyed the short walk to newport ave, which had many great restaurants, breweries and shops. sunset cliffs was a short drive away and a beautiful spot to hike a bit or just relax and take in the views. doug was excellent with communication and we loved all the amenities this place offered. we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!
