Perfect location and amenities for families to enjoy with great responsive management.

It was a wonderful place to stay with family. Great location. Short walk from the beach. It was fun to go to balboa island.
5.0
The house is great - comfortable for a large family and was outfitted with everything we needed. The roof deck is the best - we had our coffee up there every morning! There is no TV on the main floor which I really appreciated - we played games and chatted instead! The air conditioning made sleeping very comfortable. The location is amazing - you can walk to the waves beach (ocean side), and you can walk to a "no-waves" beach (on the bay). SUP rentals are also within walking distance.
The management company is OUTSTANDING. The washer malfunctioned while we there, and they replaced the entire washer in 24 hours. The people at Villa Rentals are very responsive (like right away) and above that, are kind and understanding people. I look forward to renting with them again.
Definitely 5 stars!

We had a great experience staying at this property. It was exactly as described. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The property was close to the beach and had a view of the bay and even the ocean from the top floor. We would stay here again next time we visit Newport Beach. Thank you!

Quick Getaway with Kids
Excellent property, clean, and close to the fun on Newport Beach. The open floor plan is inviting, the kitchen had what we needed. Parking is a nightmare on the peninsula and the garage was too small to accommodate our vehicle. This property is uniquely situated between the bay and the beach. We got to decide if we wanted a beach with waves or without waves and we had fun at both. Overall it was an excellent experience. Our only complaint was the smell of weed that infiltrated the beach house from the neighbors.

Beautiful place perfectly located between Newport and Balboa Piers
Great place with plenty of room for the 9 family members visiting—the three floors allowed for space and morning coffee/evening dinner and wine on the roof top patio was above and beyond. Steps away from the bay water was perfect for launching paddle boards. 3 minute walk to Pacific Ocean /Beach. Short bike ride to downtown Balboa and Newport made sightseeing a breeze.

Week of relaxing
Location was great. We ate out a lot but also used the BBQ provided on the 3rd floor patio. When going out to dinner make reservations were possible. Mama D'S was by far the best Italian restaurant for dinner. They don't take reservations but give you focasia bread and offer drinks while you're waiting.

Beachside escape
Wife and I worked remotely here for one week and it was a fantastic experience. Plenty of room to spread out but still cozy. We loved the patio upstairs as a place to watch the sunrise and unwind in the evenings. Easy walking distance to town and restaurants while directly across from a quieter section of the beach. Lovely!

Great location and place to spend the Holiday
We spent Thanksgiving Break at the property and it was great. The roof top deck is a great amenity. The location is fantastic. It’s a short walk to be part of the action but a quiet street if you want some rest.
The management company who oversees the property were very helpful and easy to work with.
The downsides were limited to: the duplex neighbor having a party on Thanksgiving until 2am (but it was a holiday), blinds that did not close out the light, so it was not dark enough in the rooms and the garage being too small to fit the suv we rented since the garage is shared with the tenant.
These were little things and we would stay here again.

It was ok
Prop mgmt. great. Property was basic nothing more. Kitchen definitely needs to be stocked better. There wasn’t a skillet, containers or most basic cooking utensils. Floors were sandy and windows had handprints all over. It would’ve been nice to be able to have things for the beach like bikes, boards or sand toys. Even towels would’ve been nice. Overall it was a beautiful property. Although I was not aware of the house being a duplex, the neighbors were very sweet and helpful. Honestly I think I was just upset that we had to cut our vacation short due to a family emergency, and I was not able to get a refund. That and NO A/C!

Great Family Vacation
Our family enjoyed our 1 week stay at this great property. The home had three levels giving us all plenty of room to share space and have space to ourselves. The location was perfect. The home is between the marina and the local beach. We had everything we needed to make family meals. The house could use a deep cleaning but overall it was a beautiful property that is perfect for a family vacation. We would stay there again!

We would absolutely rent again!

Beautiful property on a quiet street--with great beach access
Cozy and quiet, this home accommodated everyone. The decor is peaceful and classy, with gracious spaces for gathering and suitable places to comfortably retire from the group. One of our teenagers even insisted on sleeping on the rooftop patio!
As usual, if you plan to cook at your VRBO rental, remember to bring your own kitchen knife (or at least toss a good sharpener into your suitcase); it's also long past time for this unit to get a new ironing board and iron (something folks preparing to go out to dinner or to a wedding will surely want).
The property is not a beachfront location, but it has plenty of light and it's only a short walk to the ocean. The rental includes garage parking for one vehicle; on-street parking (it's right by a popular beach) is at a premium, yet we were always able to find a place for the group's second car within a block (and often directly in front of the house).
Would we stay here again? Yes! This is now one of our family's favorite VRBO homes. Whether eating in or hanging out, we appreciated the privacy and luxury of staying in this home.

We loved this place. So clean and well appointed. Good location and beautiful views.
This was such a great place and the management company was very responsive to the one, unavoidable issue that was quickly responded to. We will be coming back here for sure. Check and out was a breeze. Wished we could have stayed longer!

Beautiful Vacation Home for Families
Our experience renting and staying here was very positive overall. The condition of the house was very good even though the kitchen cabinets and the bathrooms could use a bit of updating. Everything was very clean when we arrived which was especially important to us during the pandemic.
The property management company and the owners were also very responsive to a couple of issues we reported at the beginning of our stay. We felt they went above and beyond to resolve everything they could during our two week stay -including replacing the mattress in the master bedroom. We will definitely try to stay here again next year.

Excellent location
We absolutely loved the location and cuteness of this house. We would totally stay here again. It’s within walking distance to the beach, bay, parks, and food!
One complaint though. Please get a new mattress for the master bedroom! It is horrible! There are huge divots where people have slept for years and it is extremely uncomfortable. Also, the toilet downstairs runs constantly if you don’t giggle the handle after every flush.

Great place with lots of room
We stayed here in January with 8 adults and had plenty of room to spread out. Views from the harbor to the ocean from the roof top deck. A few minor things to report to management, but nothing that influenced our stay. We all enjoyed our time there. I would highly recommend this property for larger groups and families.

Fall Getaway
The house and location were great for our multi-generation fall getaway. The neighborhood was quiet and access to the beach, Fun Zone and Ferry was easy. Management was responsive to our request for help with a couple of minor plumbing issues.

Great location and beautiful view
Centrally located halfway between the 2 busy areas of the peninsula. If you like to walk it’s perfect. Great sidewalk right along the beach a couple of blocks away. Beautiful view of the harbor and all the gorgeous yachts going by from 3rd floor terrace. Very easy experience. Would definitely recommend.

Great Walkability and AWESOME Beach House
This is our favorite beach house we've stayed at by far! The upstairs deck was amazing! The layout of this house was perfect for our multi-generational family and the walkability was great. It's located halfway between the Balboa Pier and Newport Pier which made for great exploring and dining. The beach was a little over a block away and a great kids playground with a bayside beach was less than a mile. Planning to rent again!

Really photograph well.
We were so excited to get here and stay. It is a great house for entertaining. The kitchen left me cold. The cupboards were dirty, no shelf paper and the outsides were so dirty. Had the rental service send in a carpet person to clean the master bedroom; really dirty. Location was great and the overall house was pleasant.
