Everything in and about the property was as advertised. The place was wonderful and had everything. Just perfect for our family and our Newport events. We walked to everything. What we couldn’t we biked. It made for a wonderful trip. We have recommended to others, and will ask to stay here again. The host was incredible, even personally helped us with the booking with VRBO so everything was as advertised.
House was clean. Great location. Check in was easy. Well stocked with pillows, blankets, towels, toilet paper, detergents. We had a great time. Thank you!
The beach view at this house is stunning, along with the sunsets. House was very clean and well stocked for all your beach adventures. We used the beach chairs, bikes, sand buckets, football, volleyball and beach towels. It was an easy walk to Balboa for restaurants and the ferry to Balboa Island. I highly recommend this house and will be back with my family of ten!
I have always wanted to stay on the boardwalk in Newport Beach and this trip didn’t disappoint. We loved the location, the porch, the bikes and the large family room. Great experience.
We had a wonderful stay…. This is a beautiful home and was perfect for 14 of us. So many amenities from sand toys, boogie boards, beach chairs, BBQ, beach cruisers, beach towels for all! The kitchen is the nicest VRBO I have been to! Pat has been an awesome host!
Fantastic place. We loved the location--close to so many places that we walked to. Loved being on the boardwalk watching the passersby. Everything we needed was provided. Lots of beach gear. Very lovely and comfortable home. Our second stay. We hope to come back.
My family really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend this property. We loved being right on the sand and that we could walk to the fun zone and many area restaurants. We would definitely stay here again.
Location, location, location!! Pat has a beautiful place right on the ocean. The place is very well-maintained and has absolutely everything. We were a family of 14 and were accommodated with everything we needed from beach towels, regular towels, bikes, beach, chairs, toys… There wasn’t one thing missing! Thank you for letting us stay at your wonderful place.
We stayed in the house over Labor Day weekend. Everything was awesome. The house is clean, very well organized. We were 13 people and there is plenty of space for everyone. Location is convenient right on the sand, 5 minutes walk to Balboa pier and 30 minutes walk to Newport Pier. Owner is very responsive. He even add chairs for us when we asked. We would definitely stay here again.
This house is the BEST! Clean, plenty of room and included everything you need for a stay at the beach right down to sand toys for the kiddos. Pat was a wonderful host who checked in with us periodically to make sure we were well taken care of. Our family enjoyed our stay and hated to leave!!!
Location is the key factor and you won’t find anything else on the oceanfront with the sand in front of you and people watching in full force! All the creature comforts are provided in this house from ample towels to luxury linens. With a fully stocked kitchen and board games galore as well. We will be back!!!!!
Great place right on the becah. Great people watching. Lot's of family activities. House is well stocked with kitchen tools and recreation toys abound.
Absolutely lovely! Despite the fact that California had pouring rain during our Thanksgiving, we had a wonderful time staying indoors in this lovely property..
Very well appointed, clean, and spacious.
Excellent location and easy walking to the center of town for restaurants and shopping. Would absolutely stay here again!
We had a wonderful stay. The home was beautiful, clean, warm and inviting. Location was great, there was something to do for all age groups in our party. It was a much-needed getaway for our family. We stayed 6 wonderful nights. I would definitely recommend this beautiful beach home!

Thank you for your comments, we look forward to your return. It's also a great home for the holidays....imagine Christmas on the beach
The beach house is oozing with character and charm. From the moment we stepped in there was such a good feeling in the home. We loved the memories we made and the comfort we felt while there. Thank you for an incredible week.
Absolutely STUNNING property! Location, Location, Location this is the place! Family time taken to a whole new level enjoying this property. From sitting on the porch and enjoying the California sunset to walking (or riding bikes) along the boardwalk, to taking the ferry to Balboa Island, every moment was a moment we will cherish.
Fabulous beach-front house and completely equipped with lots of space. We had 3 generations of family, ranging from 6 to 81 and house had great gathering rooms as well as private quiet areas. Perfectly located on Balboa Peninsula with many nearby options but a very quiet home inside. Older, well maintained home with lots of character and well decorated!
