Wonderful stay
The Starfish cottage is so cute. The location is one block from beach and within walking distance to shopping and restaurants. This has to be one of the cleanest VRBOs I have rented. The street is rather busy as it is a straight shot to a public beach access but it did not disrupt our stay. We enjoyed having morning coffee on front porch and watching people. The half front door was unique as the weather was perfect for open windows. We appreciated Holly’s communication and generosity. We will definitely consider staying here in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Holly Wetherholt

Host profile image
Our family has called Newport Beach home for more than 25 years. We personally manage the property and live a few houses away. Close enough when you need us and far enough away for your privacy.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of the location, location, location! We like to be able to park our car and walk places. Everything you need is conveniently located within a short walk. Our family loves the beach and the bay. Whenever life gets too hectic, a little walk with a beautiful sunset puts everything into perspective.

What makes this property unique

Starfish cottage will always be special to us because both of our children were born while we lived here. This is a nice community with great neighbors. Our family enjoys being outdoors. We never run out of things to do or places to go. We enjoy having public parking near by for family holidays and celebrations plus friends love to visit Newport Beach!
