About iTrip® Newport Beach Rental Management and Travel Services

Scott & Katherine Carpenter are the owners of iTrip Newport Beach. Their team expertly manages vacation rentals in Newport Beach including Balboa Island, Balboa Peninsula, Corona del Mar, Newport Beach, Newport Coast and Newport Shores. They pride themselves on personal attention to the home's details to ensure a great stay. Part of driving the owner's revenue is striving for a 5-star review with every stay.

Driving homeowner profits, while providing an excellent value to renters, is the ultimate goal. With all of the recent changes in the short-term marketplace by the major websites such as VRBO, Airbnb, and others, it is imperative that vacation home renters have someone that understands how to maximize the listing.

Scott and Katherine, moved to the Newport Beach area in 1993. For more than 20 years, they have called the area home and can't envision being anywhere else. Their team is also local and fully understands the uniqueness of Orange County and the Harbor area.

According to Scott, "We bought the iTrip location in Newport Beach precisely because we saw how the iTrip concept fully capitalizes on current digital marketing trends for homeowners and the guests changing vacation habits. iTrip’s processes, support and technology ensure vacation rental properties get international exposure and guests receive the best Newport Beach experience."

Scott has spent more than 25 years as a sales and marketing executive in consumer products and services. He has led national product launches, multinational sales teams, eCommerce and managed national accounts. The consumer products industry demands attention to detail, and he is passionate about providing high-quality customer service and excellence while caring for each vacation rental property as if it is his own. As the short-term rental industry transitions to an eCommerce model, homeowner's can trust Scott and the iTrip team's level of knowledge. Katherine has primarily worked in the higher education and the public finance sectors, including some time with the City of Newport Beach. This gives her insights into how the local community views and manages vacation rentals.

When not managing properties, they can be found enjoying the many golf courses in Orange County, hiking, and spending time with their two sons. Scott is also a board member of his local community's Home Owners Association and coach of their Little League Baseball team.

Scott and Katherine look forward to providing personalized customer service and showcasing properties, so everyone can have a memorable Newport Beach experience. The iTrip team welcomes the opportunity to serve you in sunny Newport Beach.
