NP Beachhouse is one of the premier properties located in Newport Beach! My family and I have now…read morevacationed in the Upper and Lower units on two different occasions- once during Thanksgiving and once for two weeks during the summer. Each experience was unique and provided a ton of family memories. This rental property provides a first-class view of the ocean and is two steps from the boardwalk and beach. Our family and friends have never experienced a more convenient location- in terms of closeness to the beach and within a short walk to the grocery store, bar and grills, local shopping and surf school. We will probably vacation here forever because of the prime location and the owner and her assistant. They are always pleasant and willing to go the extra mile to assure the comfort of our family. Recently, each unit was updated with fresh paint, new tile, and new furniture. There is also a grill provided for summer family BBQs. We cannot thank Diane and NP Beachhouse enough for the wonderful hospitality and great family experience!

You can walk straight out and be on the beach in seconds, which made the entire experience feel relaxing and effortless. The house itself was just as impressive. Having three garage parking spots was a huge bonus, especially for traveling and storing bikes. It made everything so convenient and stress-free. The location couldn't have been better--just far enough from the main pier to enjoy quieter, less crowded beaches, but still close enough to easily bike or walk over when you want to be in the middle of everything. There's even a volleyball net right outside the house, which was such a fun added touch. Overall, this place checked every box for us. Peaceful, perfectly located, and incredibly convenient. We will definitely be returning!

It is immaculate, bright and well-appointed throughout with plenty of privacy for our extended family with young kids. We appreciated the chef's kitchen, parking for multiple cars and best of all, a large patio with fire pit right on the sand away from the beach walk crowds. This extends the day from early morning coffee to evening sunsets. We met the owner and she is as lovely as her family home. We felt it was a privilege to stay here and vote it the best of the many homes we have rented in Newport Beach over the years. Also, Vicki Hagen at Newport Beach Vacation Rentals was extremely helpful with booking and details. Easy check in and check out procedures. Would highly recommend.

We had a reservation in Princeville, Kauai (Queen's Bath) from March 12th-15th during an extreme…read moreKona Low storm that brought over 50 inches of rain in one week. After monitoring conditions and speaking with people on the island, we were advised that travel from Poipu to Princeville would likely be unsafe or even impossible due to severe flooding. Traveling with four children--and with officials urging people to avoid unnecessary travel--we made the responsible decision to cancel. Risks included flooded roads, power outages, and limited access to the north shore due to vulnerable bridges and roadways. As a well-traveled family that has always honored reservations, this was the first time we've ever requested an exception. While we understood the policy and lack of travel insurance, we asked Funtierland and the host to apply reasonable judgment given the dangerous conditions. Instead, we were met with inflexibility, poor communication, and at times rude customer service from Funtierland, the host, and VRBO. There was no acknowledgment of the severity of the situation. This was extremely disappointing. We strongly caution anyone considering booking through Funtierland, as their lack of flexibility and customer care in clearly unsafe circumstances fell well below expectations.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience deserves to be shared…read more We booked a stay through Funtierland during what turned into a declared state of emergency on Kauai. While we were on the island (March 9-11), there were 60-70 mph winds, threats of flash flooding, potential power outages, and official guidance from the governor to shelter in place. Flights were impacted, and conditions were genuinely unsafe. We made the difficult decision to leave early for our safety. We were supposed to stay through March 16th. Despite these extraordinary circumstances, Funtierland has refused to provide any refund or meaningful accommodation. This is especially disappointing given that this was not a voluntary cancellation. It was a response to a government-declared emergency. We have rented vacation homes for years and have never encountered this level of inflexibility or lack of consideration. Even more frustrating, we know of other travelers on the island at the same time, booked through similar platforms, who were treated far more reasonably and received refunds. Policies are one thing, but how a company responds during a true emergency says everything about their values. Unfortunately, this experience has left us feeling completely disregarded as customers. I would strongly caution others when booking with Funtierland and consider how they might handle situations that are beyond your control. As you can see below, the business owner is claiming there was no weather in Kauai and there was. Here was the declaration of emergency from kauai.gov. https://www.kauai.gov/County-Press-Releases/210-P.M.-March-12-County-of-Kaua%E2%80%98i-Severe-Weather-Update-2026

They have a checkin area where you can unload all your stuff as well before moving your car to the parking lot. The cottages have a microwave & a refrigerator with a sink. You can't use the stove/oven, just FYI. I did a 1 nighter in a shared cottage in November. It was cooler weather and we were in the white house upstairs. We had the loft and another party had the side room. We have no issues sharing the common space and it was fun to experience. This April, I scored a 2 night in cottage 4B on the only rainy/gloomy weekend we've had here. Of all the luck. Within 6days of reservation date, you lose 1 night stay so it was sunk cost so I went ahead and did both nights. Easy to check in and checkout. If you are down the hill, you can get a ride on the golf carts which are very nice. 2 cars overnight as well per cabin. Rooms were clean. There is no AC so be prepared depending on your weather. I wanted to leave windows open but most don't have a screen so you get bugs and I was afraid of critters coming in. (Saw it on a youtube from someone. ) Each cottage is different but great to get away. Beautiful location! SYOY!

Currently there are full cottages (like an Airbnb), dorms (private rooms with shared living space),and three ADA cottages. The prices range from $53 -$338 per space, per night, all year. Reservations for the cottages open up 6 months in advance at 8am, and the dorms open up 1 month in advance at 8am. The max time length is 7 days, per reservation. They are located right on the beach in Crystal cove, with full kitchens, bedding, towels, and toilet paper. The views are GORGEOUS!!! Lots of windows, and there is nothing like falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing. We stayed in 29B which is the loft inside building 29 (4 twin beds and private bath downstairs) so cute, so comfortable, and just a lovely stay! The Beachcomber restaurant is located right on the beach as well, serving breakfast lunch and dinner. SUPER packed in summer, not such much in winter. There is a snack bar area, a couple historical building, and a souvenir shop adjacent to the restaurant. The Shake Shack is up at the top of the cliff, up a huge flight of stairs, on PCH. There is also a private meeting room located next to the reg office if you wanted to host a meeting overlooking the ocean. PLEASE NOTE FOR PARKING: the reg office is located past the ranger station, and you have to drive up there to get your keys and unload your car. Then you are given a parking permit, and have to drive your car across the street (PCH) and walk back to the cottage area, about a 10 min walk with minor hills. For the ADA cottages, you can park very close to the cottage. PRO-TIP: bring your own coffee cups, plates, silverware. Very limited in the cabin

My family and I decided to stay there for Spring Break, and it was our first time visiting the hotel. From the moment we arrived, the valet staff warmly greeted us and opened our doors with such kindness and professionalism. Upon entering the hotel, everyone at the front desk was incredibly welcoming and friendly. Gershorn, the bellman, was especially engaging and extremely helpful with storing our items and assisting us at the front desk. The front desk manager, Itzya, who checked us in, was also very engaging with us and our children. She provided outstanding customer service and made sure we had all the amenities and information we needed since it was our first time staying at the resort. Our room was fantastic, with a beautiful view of the Huntington Beach Pier. We had the opportunity to watch the sunset overlooking the ocean, which was truly remarkable and such a special memory to share with our family. The kids had an absolute blast at the Driftwood Pool. The pool service was amazing as well. The staff frequently checked on us, and our food was brought out in a timely manner. The security team also provided excellent customer service and did a wonderful job ensuring the pool area remained secure. Sean Williams (Security Director) & Jose (Security Manager) did an outstanding job with the security team they created. We also had the pleasure of meeting the general manager, Paulette Fischer, who personally greeted us and made sure our stay was going well. There are not many hotels I have visited where the General Manager personally interacts with guests. Thank you, Paulette, for taking the time to connect with your guests and make them feel welcome. Thank you again to the entire team for making our family vacation such a memorable experience. We truly look forward to returning in the future

This hotel and its policies have been an absolute nightmare. There is currently a reported chemical…read moregas leak issue, and we pleaded with the hotel to simply move our reservation from this weekend to another date. Because we booked through a third-party site, we were completely denied any flexibility or accommodation. To make matters worse, I was repeatedly criticized for not booking directly through Hilton instead of receiving any empathy or assistance. As a parent of a 3- and 5-year-old, I am not willing to risk exposing my children to any potential chemical issue, regardless of how many times staff insisted it was "perfectly safe." We are now out $1,400 simply because we chose to prioritize our children's health and safety. I even offered multiple times to pay an additional fee just to reschedule the stay, but was told "policy is policy." For some families, losing $1,400 and a family vacation may not matter. For ours, it absolutely does. The lack of compassion, flexibility, and customer care was shocking. I would give this hotel zero stars if possible. I have since deleted my Hilton Honors account and will strongly discourage friends, family, and community members from staying at Hilton properties in the future. Extremely disappointing experience from start to finish.
