Spectacular 5 Bedroom Balboa Beach House

Everything was wonderful!

Standouts here were that the house was well appointed, very clean and so close to the beach. A few small things need attention, but nothing that affected our enjoyment of this wonderful property. The host was extremely responsive, and I’m sure would have been on top of any requests. Thanks for making our Thanksgiving stay a pleasure!

Fantastic weekend with our adult children - we rented this beach house and had all of our kids w/ their significant others fly in and spend the weekend together. There was plenty of space for the group. The house was clean and inviting. It is literally a 30 second walk to the beach. Parking was available in the spacious garage - but we had rented a large SUV that was too tall to get in the garage. Fortunately, we were able to park on the street right in front of the house Each of the couples had their own bedroom and private bathroom - which I think really saved our sanity! And one of the bedrooms is actually an apartment over the garage - very helpful if someone in your party needs extra privacy. There is an outdoor shower that comes in handy to get sand off of you. The house is perfectly situated for the beach and is just a very short walk to terrific restaurants and shopping. The living spaces - dining room, living room, outdoor patio - were large enough to accommodate us and helped us maximize our time together. We ate a lot and played a lot of games. The house has everything you need if you want to cook at home or store/re-heat leftovers from a restaurant. The internet was good and supported both work and streaming. The furniture and beds were comfortable. The water pressure in the shower is awesome!!!We would definitely rent this house again!!

The rooms were clean. The floors were clean. The kitchen was well equipped. The bathrooms could have been a little cleaner. The manager was very good and took care of us any time we called and had questions. We were very happy about being able to bring our small dog, which is a big plus, and there was more than enough room for all of us.

We really enjoyed the home. Great location.

Great house for our family’s beach vacation. The house had everything we needed and host was easy to communicate with if we did have questions. The proximity to the beach, restaurants and entertainment was perfect!

House is convenience to anything you would wanna do in Balboa or Newport. There’s plenty of room for everyone to have their own space, including an apartment in the back. We love the house, and the hosts were wonderful.

Lovely stay, beautiful home. Wonderful location.

The proximity to the beach was nice especially for people who don’t live near a beach. However, it’s on a busy street that is noisy at times and the steeet parking was not only hard to find at times, the city enforced restrictions maybe it’s even more difficult. We got a 70 ticket because we unknowingly had parked and a spot restricted because of a street cleaning day. Our only other complaint was that the back bedrooms had no A/C units of their own and it’s got a little warm at night to sleep comfortably-he was there when the daytime highs gotten into the mid 80’s. The unit was clean and very cute. And it was nice to be able to walk to the beach and restaurants. The furnishings were comfortable.

The house was clean and fresh. Close to the fun zone and even closer to the beach.

Overall it was a good stay. The double garage was way too small and the 5th room was disappointed.

The unique layout of this lovely home was perfect for our small group of four adults. We actually had too much room, since the two young adults quickly claimed the gorgeous apartment above the garage! This home had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay, and we even extended our quick trip for another night. Communication and location were both excellent too!

The check in process was very easy, and they even let us check in early on the day we arrived. The property was clean and well maintained. Communication with the property manager was great, and they had a new coffee maker delivered very early on the second morning. The only drawback is the listing says it's 5 rooms and sleeps 10. While that's mostly true, one of the rooms is attached to the garage and appears to be have been converted from whatever its original purpose was. There is no access to a bathroom without going outside to the main house or upstairs. The bed is a fold-down couch, which was not very comfortable and that was with only one adult. I have a hard time seeing how two adults could share that room (it might work for a teenager or college-age couple).

We came to do an at sea burial for our dad/grandpa. This location cannot be beat. The accommodations were great. Not fancy, very comfortable & relaxing. Super comfortable beds!!! Great communication with owner.

The host was so wonderful and responsive. The house was great, and nearly exactly as pictured. One thing to note that isn’t super clear though is that the primary suite doesn’t have a door, so some noise can travel. The garage, as mentioned, is super tight, but street parking wasn’t an issue. Location is fantastic.

This was a great little house near a quieter part of the peninsula. The house had plenty of room for our party of three. The host was amazing, quick communication and fixed our little issues quickly. The master bedroom was amazing. It had a fireplace and sitting area. We appreciated the AC in every room. Most people don’t know that OST houses in the peninsula do not have AC. Though evenings are cool, the days in the summer can get hot! The home itself has everything you need including shower gel and shampoo, plenty of paper goods, and utensils. Would definitely stay here again!

This house was great , amazing location, comfortable beds and our family really enjoy it Thanks

The house had great space for two families with kids and was in a great location.
