What a wonderful place to soak in some summertime beach!! Excellent location, owners were responsive and we will definitely stay there again.
Very nice upstairs unit, super clean, well-stocked, great kitchen, and friendly & attentive hosts. The location is about a mile south of the Baloba pier and is steps away from both the ocean and the harbor. Second story unit had beautiful lighting and views of the harbor. Would stay here again!
Perfect little vacay for us! We were within walking distance to all things fun and beautiful. Place had on hand all we needed for comfort and fun. Thank You! 10/10 recommend ?
The location is awesome - walking distance to the beach and other Balboa spots, including restaurants and coffee shops. The apartment was fully equipped with anything one would need during a holiday visit. The stairs are a bit steep, but other than that, it's perfect.
This place was nice and tidy. The steps up are a bit steep, but it wasn’t bad for us in our 30s. You definitely need to have a tiny car to be able to park in the garage, parking in the nearby neighborhood was way to find every night, for us. Communication with the host was timely as well :)
Place is really cute, well maintained and property managers were very nice and responsive. The location is fantastic as its close to everything. The only things to really note is the garage is very small which isn't the end of the world because we just kept our rental bikes in there and parked car on street and the bathroom is really small. Would absolutely stay here again though.
Excellent except for parking
My wife and I had a wonderful stay in this Newport rental unit. The place was clean and nicely updated. The location is so convenient and within easy walking distance from the Newport Pier on the ocean side and the Balboa Fun Zone on the bay side. The bathroom is on the smaller side but not a big deal and the garage is very small as stated, but we had no problem finding parking on the street. Thanks for sharing your home with us, Dennis and Janet.
Clean and well organized property management. The one issue we had was there are very bright lights on that shine into the bedroom window at night. A proper set of drapes should be installed to block this glaring light at night.
Property was great. The only recommendation is the floors could be mopped.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The unit is conveniently located to Newport Beach. Parking is fairly easy. The bed is comfortable and there are lots of linens and towels. The kitchen is well-equipped (appreciated the starter pack of coffee/creamer). We made good use of the beach chairs & towels. The only minor complaint would be regarding the sleeper sofa; it’s quite uncomfortable and rickety. I’d say the unit is better for 2 people. Overall a great little place!
The home was perfect for us. The home was well stocked and well maintained. We enjoyed walking all over Balboa Peninsula. We would be happy to stay again.
Great neighborhood. Easy to walk to pier and plenty of restaurants in the area. Everything we needed was at the unit. Property owners did a great job preparing the place before we got there.
We loved our little apt. And especially our location to town and the beach!! We took advantage of walking everywhere and totally enjoyed the beach vibe !!
Had great weekend trip staying here. Clean and comfortable. Owners very responsive and easy to work with. Looking forward to our next booking.
Perfect one bedroom apartment- great location right in the middle of Balboa peninsula- short walk to both the bay and the beach, and to lots of restaurants and bars. I would definitely stay there again
A very nice, clean place a block from the beach and about 3/4 mile from restaurants. The updated kitchen is pretty well stocked with dishes, pans, appliances, and utensils, and the A/C came in handy when it was hot. Best suited for a couple, the queen bed in the bedroom was fine, but the sleeper sofa wasn't great - it might work for small kids. As the owner's describe in their listing, the garage is really small. It would work great for bike storage, but unless you have something like a Fiat or a small Mini you're better off finding a spot on the street. We found spots within a block of the apartment later in the day. Located on Balboa Blvd., there is a fair amount of street noise, but traffic died down between 10p and 6a. The bedroom could use some curtains to block out flood lights from the adjacent apartment. We had a problem with a loose cold water faucet knob in the shower that spun and wouldn't open. We called the owner and left a message. Fortunately, I was able to fix it temporarily myself fairly quickly by borrowing a screwdriver from some contractors working in another unit.
