Backyard Beach! 50 Steps to the Sand with Bay Views and Ocean Blues

We highly recommend this property. It is close to everything with easy access to the beach. The host is friendly, professional, and very responsive. We felt at home all week.

We love the location. Across from the lighthouse and marina. Steps to the beach. Able to walk everywhere! Comfortable bed, stocked kitchen, grill on the deck. Garage parking. We loved our stay, and are already booked for next year! Great walks, beautiful sunsets. Spent great happy hours all over the peninsula.

Year number 4 and we will be back again! Matt is the best host and his home is perfect for all of our wants and needs. It is always clean, perfect location, and is always a very relaxing much needed vacation! Thanks again Matt!

Best deck and location. One house to the beach. An older property, but priced accordingly. Very gracious host. You cannot beat the Balboa Peninsula!

The place was just like the picture. Short walk to the beach and you could hear the ocean from the bedroom. Matt was great, first time the host actually checked up and made sure everything was okay. Definitely would recommend the stay.

Check-in was quick and easy. We had everything we needed. Really close to the beach! Matt was quick to respond if we had questions.Definitely would stay here again!

This was out 4th time staying at Matt’s place over the last 12 years. It’s always a great time, the location is ideal and the apartment is always clean and ready to enjoy when we arrive. Can’t wait to book again!

We love Matt’s place! We’ve come back so many times I have lost count!

I stayed here with my adult children. It was steps to the beach. It was perfect for me and the family. The location was everything and the place was clean and the bed was comfy. We will definitely come back.

This beach house was absolutely perfect for our family getaway! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how spacious and welcoming it felt. Being just steps from the sand was an absolute dream – we could go from coffee on the deck to toes in the ocean in mere minutes, which was fantastic with three energetic kids in tow.The house offered plenty of space for everyone to spread out, ensuring comfort and privacy. We especially appreciated the great garage parking, which made coming and going incredibly convenient and stress-free. Beyond the fantastic location and ample room, the house itself was wonderfully clean and comfy. It truly felt like a home away from home.We had such a memorable and relaxing stay, and we would visit again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a perfect beach escape.

We had an amazing stay at this home just off 16th! The location was unbeatable as it was close to the sand and a short walk to our favorite places - Seaside Donuts, Pipeline, and Bonzai. The home was spotless, well-stocked, and exactly as described. We especially appreciated the comfortable beds, easy access, and grill on the patio. It was quiet without being too far away from the pier. Matt the host was responsive, friendly, and made everything a breeze. He takes great care of the property and genuinely wants guests to enjoy their stay. We were introduced to this property by a friend and are already recommending it to others. Our family would absolutely come back and highly recommends this place to anyone looking for a relaxing beach vacation!

Matt's property is never anything less than exceptional. We had an amazing 10 days just lounging at the beach and enjoying the peaceful comforts of the house. As always, Matt provides plenty of beach essentials to make the trip more comfortable. We enjoyed having such a selection of puzzles, games and novels......and the bed is the most comfortable thing you will ever sleep on. Cant wait to come back next year.

Our family loved staying at Matt’s place. Matt is very responsive, communicative, and the check-in process is easy. We’ve stayed at several places throughout the peninsula and thought this unit wss in a perfect location - far enough away from the pier to avoid the craziness but close enough to walk there in 10 minutes. The place itself is cozy, quaint, and comfortable and equipped with all the essentials. We were easily able to attend an Angels game and take the kids to Disneyland. We hope to return in the future!

This charming house is the perfect location for exploring the balboa peninsula on foot or bikes! Beautiful views front and back, the bay at night is magic, walking the beach in the morning to get donuts even better! Having a place to park and keep bikes is priceless! Clean too, sheets, bedding all the good stuff for being comfy and suprisingly quiet at night for being right in the middle of all the lovely beach things!

This property combines the perfect location with the comfort of home. Have enjoyed this home for three winters and hope to have many more.

We really enjoyed our stay. It was so close to the beach. We loved the location. It was quiet with a beautiful bay view and mini ocean view, the spacious patio and furniture, the full kitchen, the large screen TV and fun fireplace. The king size bed is perfect. We appreciated you being available whenever we had a question. We look forward to returning to your family treasure by the sea.

The location is perfect. We walked every where from pier tp pier to Lido. Steps away from the beach and across the street from the lighthouse restaurant and marina park. Very comfortable bed. Nice cross breeze from front to back. Large deck. All the amenities you could ask for. If you want to cook. Or grill. But many restaurants options are close. Garage parking was a blessing. Communication was excellent and we look forward to working with Matt again. And many future stays. The Turners

Year number 3 and counting! As always, we had a great vacation stay for 8 nights at Matt's place. Everything is so close, the apartment has everything we need, and we never take the car out of the garage because we walk everywhere! Thanks again, Matt! allowing us to stay in t

Right on Newport Beach. Beautiful.

Matts place was amazing, as it always is. Clean, comfortable, quiet, homey and welcoming. Super comfy bed. Literally around the corner is an amazing beach. Communication with Matt is great, he is always so helpful and attentive to his guests.

You absolutely cannot beat the location of Matt’s house. Super easy to walk to the beach or along the harbor. Plus the house is cozy and met all our needs. Wonderful stay!

Our family of five, including three kids aged 7 to 12, absolutely loved the apartment. Its prime location, just steps away from the beach and the Marina park playground, was perfect for us. The apartment itself is spacious and well-equipped with small appliances, making it feel like home. We especially enjoyed spending time on the large balcony, taking in the beautiful view. Communication with the owner was excellent—he was very kind and provided thorough details about what to expect on our arrival day, along with clear instructions for our stay.

The Pentecost place is the place to be if you want some fun ocean and a home with a breeze. You can walk to the beach and not have to park So make your reservation before it's gone like a lark.

Great place, great communication, would absolutely stay here again. Excellent location, and nice to have a garage that fit our large SUV. The apartment is dated, but very clean, roomy and exactly what we were looking for. Thanks Matt!

We love this beach house! Even though we have out grown it, my wife and I still come and stay just the two of us. It our home away from home. Matt is awesome he is on top of all of our wants and needs. We have been coming here for 10 years. And are looking forward to many more! Thank Matt!

I’ve lost track but this is our sixth or seventh time staying here and we hope to be able to keep coming back every year! It’s clean and a perfect location for what we need and Mat is a great host! Thank you Matt!
