Beachfront Casa de Balboa 223 Beach Modern Light House Views

Super cute house! Very close to restaurants and stores... you are across the street from a lovely little beach. Unfortunately there is also a public restroom on that beach and it is right across the street from the house. This attracted some interesting beach goers.

Enjoyed a nice Christmas getaway here. Kitchen was very well-appointed and we were able to cook nice meals during our stay. House was very comfortable and nicely decorated - lots of thoughtful touches. It rained quite a bit during our stay, so the large covered patio overlooking the bay was a welcome feature! Enjoyed time on the water and had many meals at a variety of excellent restaurants close to the home. Would definitely recommend this Vrbo stay.

This condo was just steps away from the sand on the bay side. Peaceful and serene the entire time. The outdoor patio was great place to gather while enjoying the beach air. The kitchen was well stocked with anything needed for cooking. However, if you wanted to eat out, restaurants and shops were in walking distance close by. Communication was excellent and response time was quick. We enjoyed our stay.

Views from the bottom floor are amazing. Building you see is no big deal. Steps from the bay side beach. For families with small kids the patio is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Street is extremely quiet and manicured with palm trees. It is well worth the stay.

Great location and very clean condo.

I wish we could have stayed longer! Everything was great! The home was clean and comfortable and the location was perfect. Loved the front patio with the heaters. Marina view! The strand and pier was a block away.

The house is darling - including lots of great design elements - and very comfortable. Everything you need and more is all right there - including a beach across the street. Thank you for providing a home away from home that is welcoming and well cared for. Thanks to the host for making check in and out easy.

My husband and I and teenage son enjoyed our stay. Lots to do in the area that is walking distance. Nice and clean property.

Loved the location and the unit was clean and ad advertised. It was also really nice having a garage to avoid worrying about parking. The odd part was the unusual amount and style of communication from the property manager. To their credit, they were responsive and detailed. But the volume of communication was insane... They throw so much info at you, most of which isn't relevant to your unit or stay which made check in and out confusing (hard to figure out where to look and find what you needed to know). And with all that communication, the code they gave us didn't even work. Weird experience overall, but did enjoy our stay.

This is a great place right by the beach in Newport. Perfect location and view. We were all adults but it would be perfect for families with littles also.

Positives: Location of the property is great - literally steps from the Bay and mini-beach and a 2 min walk to the ocean beach, but lots of foot traffic from random people (including homeless near the public bathroom across the street) and easy to see into house. Great amenities. Updated interior. Lots of fans to account for no A/C. TVs are a nice touch except there's literally 4 remote for one TV. Negatives: Check in was 3p but they were still cleaning until after 4p and the floor was still pretty caked in sand. Water pressure of the showers is quite poor. Zero counter space in the bathrooms. Not a lot of natural light filters into the place. The outlets on one of the walls of the kitchen stopped working. We received about 8 emails total during the process of check-in, stay, and check-out, each one a lengthy diatribe essay on what we could and could not do and all of the things we needed to do while staying there and checking out. These are purely rental properties. If you don't want to deal with the pain of owning and maintaining rentals, don't be in that business. FYI - nothing happened while we were there. We aren't loud or partiers. If this property wasn't in Newport Beach, the price would be at least cut in half
