Great location

This home was located in a very desirable area in Newport Beach near Balboa pier. Everything was in close, walking distance and the large grass area and beach in front of the house were perfect. The owners were very responsive and the home was comfortable and clean. Really enjoyed our stay here.

Perfect place on the peninsula

We loved this property. It's perfectly situated for those who want to be on the beach, but in a place that's a little bit quieter and away from the fray that's closer to the Newport Pier. The place is clean and the owners are amazingly responsive and helpful. We can't wait to go back next year.

Perfect family summer beach rental

The location could not have been more ideal for access to the pier, fun zone, restauarnats and beach. We loved having the big grass field in front for the kids to play soccer and summer games. Being right on the boardwalk was perfect for my scootering kids! The place was in great condition, nice finishes.

This was a great overall beach front property experience! This was our 1st annual family vacation and Edward made it so easy. Communication and the check in/out process was great as well as all the amenities that were offered and greatly appreciated. The house is right on the bike path and has easy access to all things beach! We had a blast and thank you again for having us :)

Enjoyable family Thanksgiving retreat

The best thing about this condo is the location! It's right on the beach and the boardwalk, so you can leave your front door and have a choice of walking for miles in both directions on a walking path, the beach or neighborhood streets. The grassy area in front of the condo is perfect for walking your dog. The living room is comfortable and you can watch beautiful sunsets every night on the front patio or through the sliding living room door. The beds are also comfy. The condo is quiet at night and you can hear the sounds of the waves crashing as you go to sleep.

Amazing home, location and host

Our group was 2 couples in their 50s and 60s. Two have mobility issues so we needed bedrooms downstairs and single floor living. This place was perfect. It’s nicely decorated and has a well equipped kitchen. The patio facing the ocean has a great six person table and lounge chairs. It’s great for looking out on the sand and a grassy area where people play soccer, take their dogs for walks and bicyclists and skater go by on the boardwalk. Very convenient walk to the fun zone, restaurants including Ruby’s on the pier and so much more. The area is generally quiet. You will hear airplanes during the day but since the OC airport closes down for flights at 11pm, it’s not disruptive. The host is thoughtful, friendly and respective of your privacy. This is an excellent option for a beachfront rental and we can’t wait for the opportunity to return!!! Don’t miss out on renting this one

Almost Perfect

This property was perfect for a home base while we moved our grandson into UC Irvine. It was well located, close to the activities and dining at Balboa and Newport Piers and close to UC Irvine. It was comfortable and slept the four of us easily. Everything was clean and well kept. We really enjoyed breakfasts and Happy Hour on the large patio and people watching the passers by on the beach walk in front of the condo. Ed is a charming landlord; he introduced himself on our first morning and checked back periodically to see how we were doing. The only issue we had was the wi fi which stopped working for us on our 2nd day. Luckily my daughter had her my-fi which we were able to use for the remainder of our stay.

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful visit to Newport Beach in July with our daughter, and grandchildren 3 and 5. The house is on the bike path in front of a small park and the beach. The location is perfect for any age, as there is lots to do within walking distance. We walked over to the beach in front of the house several times, and at night you can reserve a fire pit which was a fun activity. within a five-minute walk, you can rent motorized bikes (very fun), take the ferry to Balboa Island, or visit restaurants/stores. Marina Park on the inland side is a great beach for small children as there are no waves. Crystal Cove State Park is also worth a visit. The house itself was very comfortable both inside and out, and it was immaculately clean. We particularly enjoyed the patio, as coming from Arizona it was lovely to eat outside in July. Ed was a great host who checked in with us before we arrived. Check-in and check-out were especially easy. We look forward to returning next year.

We had an awesome staycation at this perfect beach house and can’t wait to come back! The home is immaculate with lots of nice touches…fluffy large bath towels, beach towels, beach chairs, bikes, comfy beds and couches, gourmet kitchen and the perfect large beachfront patio for morning coffee, afternoon cocktails and people/dog watching.The location is perfect, short walking distance to many great restaurants, fun zone and ferry,(which is dog friendly!). Having a garage parking space was icing on the cake, although we never had to drive anywhere. Sincere thanks to our wonderful hosts, Ed and Alicia.

This is a great location for families. Our 1 year old grandson loved the beach, grassy area and playground. We have rented in Newport/Balboa a lot, and this was the most well equipped kitchen yet. The only drawbacks were that the garage wasn’t deep enough for my Traverse, but my daughter’s RAV4 did fit, and the coin laundry is kind of inconvenient especially considering the cost of the rental.If you want to spend a lot of time in the water you may want to look closer to 15th street. The sand berm the city has built up in this section of the beach makes swimming/body surfing difficult.

This is our second time visiting this property. Perfect location for a family friendly Cali beach experience. Things for kids to do and adults have options as well. Our property had nice size rooms, fully equipped kitchen and eating spaces, and a great patio overlooking the boardwalk and ocean. The owner was friendly, easily available and super helpful.Thanks Ed for a great visit.

Newport Beach house

Our dates of our stay were changed by the owner. We were told we could cancel if we wanted but we decided to make the new dates work. Half my family could only be there 3 nights out of the 7 which wasn’t what we wanted. The place is in a great location. Ed was quick to help w anything we needed. Love the big patio and people watching. I also loved being right on the grass. The place itself could use some love especially in the kitchen. You have to pay for laundry which is in the garage and they gave us 2 rolls of TP for each bathroom which didn’t last long w 8 people. Garage is super small but most are in NB. Location is on the quieter side which we liked and close to a lot of businesses. Overall the stay was great and we would stay here again.

Great location

Just spent a week here with family. There were five of us and the house was perfect. We love the location liked having the grass out in front and our grandkids visited and the playground nearby was a plus. Plenty of food opportunities within walking distance which we love not having to get in the car and drive somewhere every night. We did a lot of walking and biking on the boardwalk and hanging out at the beach.
