Always Amazing
This is our 7th summer at The Dock. The location and genuine comfort is what keeps us coming back. As previous residents of Newport Beach, The Dock makes us fell like we are living back in our old neighborhood. The location is close to the action but tucked away on a quiet street. Not to mention, Holly and Drew are amazing host.

Fantastic!
We absolutely loved our stay at The Dock! Holly answered all of my questions before we arrived and met us upon arrival for check in. I had her number, very easy to contact if needed. The property was as described. Very clean. Perfect size for my family of 4. Love the twin beds for my kids that are 11&9. I would agree that it is not the place for kids probably under 5 because of the steps and decorations. We also loved this place over previous Newport Beach locations because it was quiet at night!! Yet, only a few blocks from beach and walking distance to about anything you need! The garage was an added bonus! We will be back!

Great stay!
Loved our time in this little beach house. Holly is an amazing communicator and does anything she can to make your stay comfy. Would definitely stay here again! It was perfect for our family of 4. Super clean, stocked very well and comfy beds. Very quiet. The area is our favorite location to stay in Newport because you can walk everywhere. There are tenants in the front where the patio is. You share it with them. They were nice enough but it was a little awkward at times. We seemed to run into them every time we wanted to use the patio. So we opted not to use it. And it wasn't a huge deal because we were out and about most of the time!

The Dock
The Dock is an AWESOME place to stay. The owners care about you and want your experience to be memorable. You do not need a car. Restaurants, shopping, grocery stores, and the beach is within walking distance from the property. The amenities provided by the owners is fantastic. We have stayed several times and will return, again.

We loved walking everywhere from this house; 3 blocks to the beach, 2 blocks to grocery and a short half mile radius to numerous restaurants, shops and Lido village. Alta coffee on 31st is excellent. Full time tenants in front unit of this duplex share the patio and garage, they were very pleasant. Overall a wonderful beach vacation spot!

Top Notch
The Dock presents well on-line but is even better in reality. The Dock has many amenities not normally found in a rental - not only a Keurig machine but plenty of K-cups for both coffee and tea. All kitchen and eating things are new and matching - not hand-me-downs, Appliances are high quality, bedding, linens, etc. also. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there would highly recommend staying at the Dock.

Repeat renters
We are a family of four who has stayed for several years in the Newport Beach rental. We have stayed at multiple VRBO rentals for over 20 years and this is by far the best. Holly exceeds expectations upon check in throughout the month and the place really is located on the best street in the area. We love the beach access, lido proximity and the fact that most of the surrounding neighbors are long term residents vs party for the week people. We will be back!!!
