Beach getaway

We stayed at the oceanfront property on Balboa - we enjoyed the long walks and the downtown shops and restaurants. Balboa Island is a great place to vacation and we loved the VRBO property.

New Year on Balboa!

Great place with the family to ring in the New Year!! Few better locations in So Cal than Balboa and we had a great house right on the water a few steps down from the ferry to Newport. The accommodations were fantastic, the communication with the property manager was top notch and we can’t wait to stay here again! Thanks for a great week on Balboa.

Balboa Bayfront Beauty

This is our 2nd stay at this location, but our first time in the lower unit. It was everything we hoped it would be and more. We spent lots of time in the living room and kitchen area with the doors open to the outside. We had coffee on the patio, sat on the sand in the afternoons, made dinner "at home" in the stocked and roomy kitchen and then back to the patio to watch the sunset and the Christmas lights come on. It was perfect. And, we can't wait to come back.

Wonderful stay with my elderly father!

When we were planning a trip with my father who cannot walk very far or take stairs, it was very hard to find a nice place in Newport Beach that could accommodate him with first floor living. This place was an absolute gem! It is perfectly located, having the garage was great, but parking otherwise was still pretty easy. We enjoyed all the comforts of the space and the kitchen was beautiful. Highly recommend this space for a family trip and we can't wait to come back!

Birthday Celebration

I was celebrating a milestone birthday and stayed the week of the boat parade. What a fabulous location to celebrate at ! The house is at a great location, easy walking to the Ferry to go to the Newport Peninsula. Easy walking to Marine Avenue where shops and restaurants are located. So relaxing watching the boats in the harbor go by the house. I would definitely recommend this house to stay at!

Perfect week on the Island!

We've stayed here multiple years and it never disappoints. House is clean and we can see improvements are made each winter which is much appreciated given the cost that goes into a vacation. Appliances recently updated are a big improvement and the house is well appointed with everything you need. Working with Julie the property manager is great, she takes the initiative to call beforehand if something needs to be communicated (like roadwork in the alley this year) and is overall a very friendly and competent person to work with. Great vacation as usual!
