Review of 1904 W. Oceanfront, Newport Beach
Laurie M from Libertyville, IL recommends this property
Stayed 7 days in July, 2009
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.
