I will never book another property managed or owned by AvantStay as my reservation/booking was cancelled by AvantStay on the very same day I was due to check-in. I was physically on the road to the destination when I received the notification that my booking was cancelled!!!! Very unhappy - dissatisfied.

End of Summer Vacation
We had a fun-filled 4 day vacation at Sea Glass in Newport Beach. All 3 generations of vacationers throughly enjoyed staying at the home. Besides the breathtaking coastline, the younger children loved the park right in front of the home where they played baseball, catch, soccer. The beds were comfortable and the living space large enough our group of 9. We would definitely come back again!

Beachside Dream
Absolutely wonderful property. Located across from the beach with plenty of private, gated parking (no need to street park). We had a wonderful time relaxing after a long day at Disney. Excellent communication from the owner / managers making it a seamless check-in and access to the property. It's definitely on our "we're doing this again" list.

Perfect location, great home.
My husband, son and 2 dogs stayed here for 8 nights. This home was perfect for us. It is an older home, which made it perfect for having a couole of dogs. The location was ideal for children and dogs as the grassy field is right out front. The only thing was the door code was not correct when we got there. The contact Eduardo was on top of it and we were in the home really quickly. We didnt want to leave, and we will definitely be back!

At The Beach
We all loved the location, especially if you have small children and dogs. The beach house had a patio facing the Beach where we enjoyed hanging out when we weren’t on the water. The huge grass area across the boardwalk was great for the kids and dogs to run around on while we watched from the patio. Many beach essentials were provided for our use. Per the family, all beds were very comfy. One past reviewer commented about two of the back bedrooms having access only by passing through each of the other 2 bedrooms. This worked ok for our family with kids. We all enjoyed the large master bedroom with its beautiful view. We all gave the Avantstay Management a 5 ⭐️ for their immediate response to all our questions and needs. All had a wonderful time!

Charming Balboa Beach Cottage
The house was exactly as the pictures depict...only far more sweet in person. It's cozy, right on the beach, close to Everything Balboa and Newport, and actually bigger than I expected. We had multiple guests and we were very happy. I only wished we could stay longer. Thank you for all of the last minute help! You guys were amazing!

Great Location
Pros- Great location across from grassy park area was good for yard games. Beach, restaurants short walking distance. Kitchen well supplied with dishes, glasses, pots and pans but absent condiments, spices. Plenty of beach towels, chairs, bikes, and toys. Extra refrigerator in garage. Parking up to 5 vehicles was great. Now the cons; The floor was vacuumed but very dirty. The hot water heater went out on day 2. Didn't realize why we had warm water throughout day then when we came back from beach it was ice cold. Manager advised a part was replaced and since then the heater usually works for 4 months between conking out. He had an eta of 2 hours but waiting till 10pm was unacceptable. He explained how to relight this heater as its operation was still unconventional. The two back bedrooms have a partial wall with a large opening at the top. It was a problem for us with noise and temperature control. Not a con, but it should be noted if you have elderly or disabilities there are 17 stairs to the bedrooms and two bathrooms and what was described as a main floor bathroom was actually down another set of stairs. Overall it is in a great location well supplied. Manager Nolan sincere and helpful.

Pictures didn't give a full view of the property
Bedrooms in the back of the house were funky. The two small bedrooms have a wall between them, but an open space above the wall. The TV in the family room was overly complicated and could not get it to work The BBQ was very cheap and low BTU's and pretty useless to cook anything. The kitchen was small but functional The floors down starts were clean on the surface but very old and dirty. The house is very dated and needs upgrades selective pictures were used on the website and did not show all of the property location was nice

Perfect Location for a Family Getaway
There were 10 of us family members that got together for a long weekend to celebrate my husband’s 60th birthday. We had an amazing time. So many things we liked about Sea Glass! Most of all, we loved the location! The green grass before the beach area was very active with people all weekend. So fun! We also enjoyed the grass ourselves, playing corn hole each day. At night, we used the fire pits in the sand (about a 1 min walk!) to make s’mores! Restaurants and a place to rent boats are a short walking distance. We rented a duffy one afternoon and it was spectacular! We also took the ferry to the island a few times to enjoy the walk and do some shopping. Another huge plus to this property is that it includes 5 parking spots. Never had to worry about parking! The house is very well appointed. We had all the cooking utensils and dinnerware that were needed. An extra refrigerator in garage too! Plenty of seats in kitchen, living room and outside! Also, the house has bikes, towels, umbrella, etc for use. We felt we had everything that we needed! Our only regret is that we didn’t have a longer amount of time to stay! We all enjoyed our time so much that we talked about making an annual trip to this house!
