First, location is great. 1 block to shops and restaurants and about 7 blocks to ferry that takes you to Newport Beach. The bay is 2 blocks to each side. Next, the house is great. Able to seat 11 people on fhe deck for dinner with a grill. Beds are super comfy and large, well stocked bathroom. Beach towels provided along with boogie boards!! The living room is right off the front door with 2 couches and 4 chairs. Perfect for family game night or movie night. Can’t say enough good things! Hated to leave but will be back.

We had a wonderful time staying at this property. It is absolutely adorable. And the location cannot be beat. So close to the Main Street of shopping and restaurants. The decor is darling and the bedrooms are so comfortable. Lori was a wonderful, thoughtful host. The place is even better than the photos. The front porch is huge. Even though there is only one bathroom, it is very large with double sinks. We had a very busy weekend with friends stopping in and we were all very comfortable. We didn’t cook in because we were so close to restaurants. The island is so much fun!! We are coming back for sure!

The house is so nice and very comfortable. The beds are quite comfortable as well. This was a four girl weekend and there was plenty of room and the bathroom is quite large. We had fun hanging out on the front porch, playing board games (many in the house to choose from). Walking around the island is a must as is shopping in the great boutique stores on Marine Ave. We never left the island except one night to walk to Bayside Restaurant for dinner. Lori the host was fabulous and friendly and great at communication before and during our stay. I would definitely rent this home again.

Lori was an amazing host who has made her lovely rental warm, comfortable, and inviting. She took extra care in making sure we had everything we needed for a much needed girls weekend! From providing coffee and a delightful treat to making sure we had information on all the best things to do on the island and beyond, Lori went above and beyond to make our trip special. The house was impeccably clean and was outfitted with anything and everything we could need.

This house is adorable! The owner, Lori, is communicative, welcoming and thoughtful. We arrived to a delicious pound cake loaf on the kitchen table. The beds are comfortable and sheets soft and lovely. The kitchen is well stocked. The patio was perfect for lounging and dinners. This house is close to everything. We rented bikes and took a Duffy boat cruise and never used our car. Would highly recommend this rental.

Our trip to Maui was canceled due to the heartbreaking fires. We found this cottage last minute and felt so blessed. Lori is truly the most thoughtful hostess. The property was perfect! From beach towels, portable crib, sand toys, boogie boards, sand chairs, laundry, comfy beds, clean and delightful! The front porch was our favorite spot! We ate all our meals, played games, completed a 500 piece puzzle, and snuggled up with good books and conversation. Our 13 month old grandson was in heaven on the beach! There is an area to spray off toys and sandy toes. Lori has thought of everything! A charming, little jewel!

Great beach cottage for a family vacation. We had other extended family on the island for a family reunion and it was super easy to walk everywhere we wanted to go. The beds were comfy, and dinners on the patio were a highlight. We hope to return!

Our family had the best time in this beautiful beach home that is perfectly situated one block from Marine, and central to both sides of the island. The home was very clean, accommodating, with comfortable beds/pillows. We never had to turn on the air, due to the cool ocean breeze in the evening. Lori couldn’t have been more welcoming. We had the best time spending a day on the peninsula for a beach day, and went whale watching (we saw a blue whale breach 4x, saw 2 sea turtles and the bottle nose dolphins surfed our wake). We also enjoyed a sunset Duffy rental, joined with friends. Our morning and nightly walks around the island were relaxing. We definitely hope to return soon!

Everything about this home and host was top-notch. Aside from having stocked the kitchen with just about everything we needed to prepare meals in the cottage, Lori also left us a freshly baked chocolate chip pound cake as a special treat for my adult son's birthday. As we were also traveling with my son's young family, Lori also offered the use of a port a crib and baby gate! On top of that, she provided boogie boards and umbrellas for us to use at the beach, all of which greatly reduced what we needed to bring. Speaking of the beach, the cottage is just a block and half to the beaches on either side of the island and even closer to the town! Having spent summers on the island as a child, this was an absolutely perfect trip down memory lane to be able to experience with my own son and grandsons. We will most definitely be back!

We LOVED it! Perfect for our girls weekend. The cottage was in a great location to walk around to dinner and shops. We rented bikes per Lori's suggestion and had a great time. The cottage had everything we needed to cook our own meals, it was cozy and clean and cute we enjoyed hanging out telling stories. We highly recommend this beautiful cottage and hope to return! It was fun to meet you. Thanks for everything. The communication was excellent from beginning to end.

Lori, the owner, is so sweet and great to work with. It is minutes to the Balboa's main strip where the shops and restaurants are. We are definitely returning and can't wait to sit on the porch and enjoy our time. I highly recommend!

The place was very clean and the beds were super comfy. The best, though, was the front porch. It was just the perfect place to spend mornings and evenings. Thank you Lori for your hospitality.

We spent a perfect weekend celebrating our mom’s birthday at this exceptional cottage! Lori is a fabulous host … from her thorough communication, to the seamless arrival process, to the warm welcome note and delicious cinnamon bread and coffee that awaited us, no detail was overlooked! The house is immaculate, fully stocked with everything you need, and the bedrooms couldn’t be cozier. Our mornings and afternoons on the patio were a highlight, enjoying perfect weather and all the friendly people passing by. Located just a block from the Marine Ave. shops and restaurants, the house is perfectly situated. Our stay was absolutely perfect, and we can’t wait to come back!

We enjoyed our weekend stay at this darling comfortable vintage beach cottage! It was just as described very clean, fully stocked with everything we needed & in a perfect location! So close to everything just one block to walk to the restaurants & cute shops & to the balboa bay on either direction! The parking was a bit of a challenge being so close to the Main Street but we were able to find spots available the next street over. Thank you Lori, for sharing your quaint cozy cottage! Our family enjoyed celebrating our birthdays making wonderful memories together!
