  Charles T from Mission Viejo, CA recommends this vacation rental

  Burr White really went the extra mile for us. The first rental we were in became problematic when construction started on the attached unit. Burr White immediately moved us to an even nicer house at no additional cost. They even found a VCR so we could
  watch old family videos.

  Nice oceanfront house near Newport Pier. Appliances mostly workable (except toaster and one burner on the stove) but not fancy. Biggest disappointment was low water pressure in master bath shower. Religious decorations might bother some guests. Location
  is great.

  This house suits our family well. It was in better shape than usual this time and cleaning people were very responsive when we called to say beds had not been made, which they should have. Only issue was a dirty hot tub, which was corrected Monday, but it took two calls. We love the house and location, but for the price the owners should seriously consider upgrading and some remodeling. Furniture is getting beaten down, there are dirty and non-working Bose speakers, and general maintenance is in order. Yes, it is the beach, but this house commands a high price. Thanks.

  Overall this property is great. The only issues I had were small things. There was no soap in the bathrooms or kitchen. No extra paper towels and only one well-worn dish towel! Other than that, the location is great. Very narrow porch in front - wide enough for just a chair.

  Linda & Mark N from Las Vegas, NV recommends this vacation rental

  I've been renting beach houses in Newport Beach for ten years, This is the nicest one i've stayed in so far, lots and lots of ammenities, clean, well furnished, great location near the pier. My favorite part of this house is the upstairs master bedroom, it offers fantastic ocean views from the floor to ceiling and wall to wall windows, double slider glass doors let in the wonderfull breezes, smells and sounds of the crashing waves. Its hard to get out of bed each morning, but then you remember you can go on the rooftop and sit in the spa or start a barbecue, step out the door right onto the beach, take a short walk to to pier, go for a bike ride and explore the area and shops, and so you find the motivation to get out of bed and start your day, enjoy !

  We had another wonderful stay at 1904. I did mention a few things when checked out on Sat.: one of the lamps in the master bedroom was coming apart when we arrived and was completely broken when we left; the ice maker was dripping water on the cubes in the container and produced a solid block of ice cubes so the dispenser was not working; upstairs when I tied to open a window in the hall, the whole blind fell down as it was somewhat rusted. The other thing that we forgot to mention is that the TV in the master bedroom was not working. They were minor issues, we had a great time!

  We stayed at this property in September since all our children are grown and we have a baby granddaughter-what a wonderful idea this beach house was! It was large enough to accommodate everyone with a beautiful kitchen,dining area and family room. The location is absolutely perfect-right on the sand and close enough to local places to eat. We fished on the nearby pier, bought fresh seafood to barbeque from the nearby Dory Fishing Fleet, took long walks on the sand,biked on the boardwalk, went to Balboa Island, enjoyed the wonderful scenery and spa on the upstairs deck, and of course swam and surfed in the ocean. It was one of the most relaxing vacations ever because this property is so ideally located and so beautifully husband planned this vacation with the wonderful help of one of the Burr White agents who once she knew our specifications via email, sent us several properties to look at over the internet-ours was just as described and their organizational skills at check in and throughout this process made it a pleasure to work with them. This beach house was an experience the whole family will remember.

  a guest from SJC, CA does not recommend this vacation rental.

  The appliances in the home were a significant dissapointment. The oven in the kitchen had recent food remains caked on the baking racks. The microwave oven did not work. The washer and dryer were not usable and the BBQ Grill on the roof top needs to be replaced. Would not even consider placing food on it. Additionally, to be asked to make arrangements for a cleaning crew to come in during our stay to clean the windows is something that should be completed during the regular cleaning time on Saturday, between checkout and checkin. To have come all the way from Switzerland, paying $10,000.00 for a week and discover these conditions was a significant dissappointment. The inability to do laundry, use the microwarve oven, enjoy BBQ'ing on the grill AND the disgusting kitchen oven were significant inconviences for our family. The location of the home was very good.

  • Manager Responded on 12/16/2010

    We are sorry the previous guests did not report any non working appliances to us when they checked out. We are working with the owners to repair or replace non working appliances. Thank you for allowing the cleaners in the property to address any areas that needed additional cleaning. We have staff on call 24 hours a day 7 days a week to assist with anything you may need. Thank you for your comments.

  We have stayed at this residence before. Lovely home, but needs some minor maintenance to the sliding doors (both upstairs and down) and to all the windows as they are difficult to open and close due to the salt and sand.

  This is the fourth time we've rented this home and we've never seen it in such good condition. Last year we left a detailed list of repairs that were needed. All of these have been done plus more. The interior has been totally repainted , we think the washer and dryer were new and there were many other improvements that made our stay great. Only problem we found in the house this time was a slow drain in the master bath (left) sink. Also -- we needed to buy a beach umbrella as the pole did not fit the one in the garage. The location of this house is wonderful and it's a great beach for little kids. We had our son, daughter-in-law and 3 and 6-year-old granddaughters. The drawback to the location is noise, but it's the beach, it's the boardwalk and we understand that. The only thing marring our vacation was the behavior of a large group of (often drunk; always profane) young men in the house next door at 1906 Beachfront. We called the police twice, but the problem continued. We (and two little girls) endured profane rap music, profane language and cat calls from the front patio to any girl walking by until the early in the morning. We spoke to the guys twice and things quieted down briefly, but it always picked up as the alcohol intake increased. To be fair, we have never encountered neighbors like this before ... and hope to never do so again. We're not sure if all the guys were staying there; others might have been at a house across the alley. But they ALL spent a lot of their time on the front patio. Burr White --I'd be wary if that group tried to rent again.
  
  We have rolled over to take 1904 W. Beachfront for the same week next year. It is all in all a wonderful house for a family vacation. Our friends and family who visit us during the week (we are originally southern Californians and we and our extended family have been renting houses in Newport Beach or 40 years) are amazed at what a nice place Mary's Mansion is.

  Our family enjoyed a month's stay during the Christmas holidays. The location perfect, the view spectacular. We watched dolphins swim by from the family room! During the rainy and cool nights we enjoyed the fireplace. The spa was repaired and enjoyed mid-stay. All personnel friendly and helpful. The 3 week repairs being conducted on the street was the only challenge with parking and noise. However, the construction workers were most courteous when driving in and out. Thank you for the decorated Christmas tree upon arrival. It made us smile after a long flight from London. Thank you to all for making it a memorable holiday for us.

  terrific location...great beach, fun and safe for kids (our boys were 5 and 7 at the time). odd layout on the roof deck with peculiarly small barbecue. but overall we'd recommend and would stay here again. Some trouble with Internet connection.
