This place is amazing!

We were in the area for a regatta and this place was adorable, perfectly located and so easy to be in - the treats/snacks were such a great touch. We are thinking about coming back soon just so we can stay here again. Thank you to Pete for making it so magical.

We loved the location, the cozy Apt and the ease of parking plus the easy walks to the Main Street.

Great location for getting around and Corona Del Mar and Newport Beach. It was great opportunity to see several friends from when we lived in SOCA. Pete was a great host and we will be coming back.

Charming and Comfortable

My new hubby and I chose to spend the last leg of our Honeymoon adventure here, and really enjoyed our time. Pete was great with communication and even provided a list of recommendations for our visit at Balboa Island. I describe myself as an adventurous homebody, thus having a cozy place to rest my head at the end of a day of exploring is super important, and we felt right we home here.

We recently rented the apartment for family coming to town for Thanksgiving holiday. The rental exceeded everyone’s expectations as a perfect location and perfectly well appointed cozy home. Look forward to reserving again over the Christmas holidays. The host Peter goes above and beyond!

Great little upstairs apartment, well supplied and excellent location. Peter was fabulous and welcoming . Some workers were making construction noise on Saturday near me and he was right on it reminding them of Newport Beach rules.
