The place is nice, especially for the price, but if you are staying in the downstairs portion, it is very noisy because of the additional unit above. This also is a very "corporate-run" listing and not like dealing with a single owner. You will have to sign lots of forms and wait an unreasonable time for your security deposit to be returned.

Excellent location. Close to the beach and very close to the balboa fun zone! Comfortably fit 8 of us. A/C was nice. Tons of beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, sand toys, and bikes! (Just no kids bikes) Shower in the garage was helpful. Everything was very clean and beautiful! Outside grill was big and clean. FYI there is no cooking oil or aluminum foil. Also upstairs feet can get a little loud, and you share the garage and driveway with the upstairs people. Also only smaller vehicles can fit in the driveway and garage. We loved our stay and would stay there again!

Excellent house and location

We recently had a terrific experience at the Balboa Peninsula house. Very well appointed and roomy. The communication was excellent leading up to the check in and including check out. We walked to get coffee, to the Ferris wheel, ice cream, and took a ride with a friend on her boat. Plenty of bikes were available as well. Everything was within a couple of blocks. Having a parking space in the garage was appreciated. I highly recommend this property!

It was a perfect spot for what we were looking for. The length of the property was great for a feeling of separation/noise concerns between the rooms. The Property was clean and comfortable with a wonderful A/C system. We were provided with a great set of beach gear and the outdoor shower was very convenient. Very nice neighborhood with kind people around. 2 blocks away from the fun zone, the ferry and the beach.

About the host

Hosted by Beach and Snow Rentals

Host profile image
We purchased this property to have a fun beach property to enjoy. There are so many ways to enjoy the Balboa Peninsula including lounging on the beach, rollerblading or biking on the boardwalk, SUP, jet skiing, or renting a Duffy Boat, Kayak or Paddleboard. In the evenings we love making a bonfire in one of the firepits on the beach, cooking up some hot dogs over the fire, and then roasting marshmallows for dessert.

Why they chose this property

This property has been beautifully renovated and is in a great location close to everything!!

What makes this property unique

Walk to beach, Balboa Pier, Newport Harbor, The Historic Ferry, Fun Zone, restaurants and shops. Quiet area of the Peninsula.
