Finding the Perfect Vacation Rentals in Newport Beach doesn’t have to Break the Bank

Hotels are overrated…

Reminiscent of bygone college dorm life – where you share walls with two different neighbors and can hear guests trundle down the communal hallways. Hotels are also overpriced. After paying for your room, parking, and adequate internet, there’s still the takeout you have to order for dinner, which will inevitably fill the room with smells of french fries and grease. And to think we do this all in the name of comfortable hotel bed sheets! 

With the rise of Airbnb, however, more people are discovering the merits of renting private homes and apartments. Turns out, it’s not just hotel beds that can be insanely comfortable. Amongst the plethora of perks associated with renting private homes, one of the greatest advantages is the cash you can save. No matter your budget, you get more bang for your buck when you book vacation rentals in Newport Beach over pricey and stuffy hotel rooms. 

This news isn’t new or earth-shattering. But what IS jaw-dropping is the money you can continue to save when you adopt the following tips and tricks.

Go to the Source & Book Direct

Third party platforms like Airbnb and the HomeAway Network are extremely convenient to use. But that convenience comes with a cost. Across the board, these sites charge a hefty service fee for booking through their platform. These fees range from 10 to 15% of your bill. And when you’re booking a high-ticket item like a week’s long stay in a vacation rental in Newport Beach, 10% of your bill is no small number! So here’s what you do: 

Step 1: Find a Newport Beach vacation rental you love on one of the major booking platforms.

Step 2:  Look up the Newport Beach property online to see if the home owners also list their property with a private management company or on an independently run website. (Most do!)

Step 3: Contact the owners and/or management company directly to inquire about rates.

Step 4: Gloat over the hundreds of dollars you will save upon booking direct.

Step 5: *Bonus step* Ask the company for a lower rate. Too scary? Too outdated? Smaller companies want you to book with them, so will more than likely throw in an extra deal to get your booking. Now you know 😉 

Longer Stays in Newport Beach Mean
Larger $avings

With so many diverse and exciting things to do in Newport Beach, weekend-long stays just don’t cut it. By extending your stay beyond the three-day weekend, you not only get to soak up more sun, but you’ll also get to save on some dough. Most companies increase nightly rates for weekend stays. Avoid that price gouge by booking weekday stays. As a bonus, you’ll have more of the beach to yourself, too!  Local companies like Beachview Realty also offer extreme discounts for extended stays. 14-night and 1-month long stays are subject to significantly lowered rates – especially when you call and ask!

Opt out of Oceanfront Homes

When staying in Newport Beach, everyone wants oceanfront property? But you typically have to pay through the nose to stay in one. By booking a place that’s a few homes back from the sand, you’ll find an extreme difference in price. And in Newport Beach, non-oceanfront homes are equally beautiful and accessible to the sand as their oceanfront counterparts. It’s a win win!
