I would give this property a 5-star rating - except for a few gaps that could be addressed inexpensively. The property is nicer than shown in the pictures. The decorating is well done. Gap #1 is that the mattresses on the bottom level and middle level are not comfortable. If the property manager just bought some mattress pads or topper's this could be remedied for less than $500. Gap #2: The kitchen is very thin on kitchen supplies. For example - there is no toaster. If the property manager would invest $500 in kitchen appliances / supplies, this would be a non-issue. For the money charged, it is an excellent property. Addressing those two issues would make it even better.

Walkable to everywhere, exactly as pictured, and very clean.

Check in was easy. The house was in a great location. We rode out bikes around all day, easy access to everything.

We loved this location, close to both beach and bay. Easily walkable to restaurants. Comfortable stay, with separate sleeping areas. Would stay again!

Accurate pics posted. Easy access to beach. Cozy and clean rental. We had a blast!

This home is located in a very nice neighborhood. It is a 3 level home that has alley access only, so there is no street frontage. Parking is located at the door entrance on the bottom level, which was very handy, and there is ample parking on the street for additional cars. You enter through the 1st floor bedroom (pull out king bed), stairs, main floor living area (kitchen area, sectional, tv, dining table, bathroom with lots of hot water, queen murphy bed, laundry room) stairway up to loft with queen bedroom. There is also a balcony on the main floor that faces the alley. There is a little bay area right around the corner that has a beach and a swimming area that is really nice. The actual beach is about a block and a half down the street across a traveled road. We opted to take cars to Newport Beach Pier area with our gear and find parking spaces in the morning to spend the day (Parking is costly and challenging). A few in our group walked back to the rental which was about 11 blocks. Balboa area seems to be a little closer, which we walked to a few times also. The 2 queen beds were comfy, the other 2 not so much. Well stocked linens, dishes, 2 pans. The shower outside is great! There are chairs, and umbrella, toys and beach towels. A/C on main floor, windows on the loft , not much air on the 1st floor. This home worked for our 5 adults, a teen and child, and for the price we were happy with it.

Loved the location and comfortably slept myself plus 2 adult couples

Modern, clean unit steps from the beach. Perfect for your beach getaway.

Super cute property! Linens were so clean. The spiral staircase to the top room and stairs to middle floor was a bit challenging with luggage. Other than that no complaints at all. Easy check in and check out. Thanks for the cute place to stay!

Highly recommend. Amazing location and property was perfect for our family of 6. We would absolutely return!

Great location, a cute little getaway. Wish it had bikes, but other than that luxury, made our little getaway an easy travel experience.

We enjoyed our stay. Love the location, cool beach house vibe and the host was responsive and terrific to communicate with. We’d definitely book again.

This was a great stay. It was very clean with plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Three distinct sleeping areas (no doors but the layout of the beds prevented any noise from being heard). Two TVs with Netflix and Youtube kept the kids happy. Convenient location and room for a big car in the parking. The views are small and not really a big part of the stay though the small balcony gets a sea breeze and is good for morning coffee. Kevin was an easy host and communicated quickly and accurately. This was a very quiet house in a quiet area.

Great place to stay on Balboa Peninsula. The rental is nicer in person than in the pictures. Beds were all very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. There was plenty of beach gear available. It was our first time to Newport Beach area and didn't realize how important it is to have a parking space! Short easy walk to the beach and bay. Little farther of a walk to restaurants, but not bad. Highly recommend this place if you need extra beds like we did. Kevin was kind and easy to work with. he responded quickly to any questions we had.

Enjoyed the stay. Nice quiet location and easy to get to restaurants and beach.

We enjoyed our stay. It is so close to beach, lovely. Host very responsive and helpful.

family with three kids. easy access to the beach. I think the layout is good for families.

Owner was very responsive. He even ran out and brought us two additional blankets when we asked. Overall we had a great stay but the layout was a bit odd. House was spotless, beds were comfortable except the downstairs day bed was a bit too firm. Good location just a tiny bit noisy for us from the main road. Would recommend.

Easy!

No issues with staying at this location. We would stay here again. Reserved parking spot. Outside shower to wash off. Plenty of space for our family.

Loved the location! Short 2 minute walk to the beach and 1 minute walk to the bay. Sits right between the Balboa Pier and Newport Pier which is so fun to be able to walk to the busyness easily if wanted or stay in the quiet if needed. Loved our stay! Wish it was longer!!

Had the best time. The house was exactly as listed. Clean and well maintained. Beds were very comfortable and we had everything that we needed. I will book again in the future. Best experience with Vbro rental Thanks Kevin you have a great place

Nice space to use during a visit to the Newport Beach area. Clean, adequately supplied, responsive owner.

The house itself was beautiful and is even nicer than the photos! Steps away from the beach and even closer to the bay. Main concerns were the fact that the master does not have air conditioning and it got very hot. Granted, we visited during summer, but it got so hot in that room that we had to sleep downstairs where the AC was. Only other thing that could be improved would be the check in/check out process and communication with the host were pretty lacking. Other than that it was a perfect stay, so that is why I rated it as 4 stars still!

the area was perfect for the kids during the day and the adults towards the evening. I luved that it was 3 stories and spacious very clean and up to date.. the pictures dont do it justice. We will definatley be back. Communication with the owner was amazing!

Right in the middle of Newport Beach. This is a great listing with a very friendly host. Would highly recommend.

A perfect walk to the harbor or the ocean. Everything we needed for a nice girls weekend. I highly recommend this one. Thank you Kevin

The house was just as it looked on the pictures and described by the host! Was perfect for what we were needing for the weekend and couldn’t have asked for a better location! Great house!!

We loved our stay. The house was very clean and has a wonderful location. The host was great. We loved that there were beach toys and chairs. The only drawback was having just one bathroom, but we really enjoyed the outside shower to remove sand! We would definitely come back!

Perfect location between the Ocean and the Bay. There’s restaurants, a park and the fun zone within walking distance.

We really enjoyed our days here. This was a perfect, spacious place for our family with older children. Very short walk to the beach and scenic walk to balboa island ferry also. Loved it!

Comfortable, clean accommodation close to the beach. The host was prompt in getting back to us in answering queries. We enjoyed our stay.
