The home was just as pictured. Great location walkable to beach, we loved the rooftop deck, and it fit our family of 9 (including an infant and 3 toddlers) well. We were there for a Disneyland trip and it was a quick 20-25 minute drive there each day. We were even able to squeeze our 10 person passenger van into the garage no problem. Loved it!

What a beautiful place to stay for a beach adventure! Close to the shops, the beach, balboa pier and endless fun. The roof top patio is the gem of this location. We spend countless hours just enjoying the beauty of being able to see the Pacific Ocean on one side and the balboa harbor on the other. The owner was excellent and the place was spotless when we arrived. We were very happy!

Here are some items not mentioned clearly in the listing some might find helpful.
1. This is a condo and is the upstairs unit. This unit may not be suitable for people with mobility issues or families with small children. The stairs are cement with an open railing design.
2. There is very little view of the beach from the rooftop, you can see somewhat through the buildings in front and behind you. What you can see is everyone else's rooftop and alley. The location is walking distance to the beach and close to the pier.
3. This house is on a main street, sitting on the balcony gives you no view except for the road itself which can get busy during the day.
4. You have to share the 2-car garage with the downstairs unit and because of sharing you cannot fit a truck or SUV. The parking on the street is minimal so this was a real pain. There was trench digging out front, so it was particularly hard for us to find parking. You cannot park in the alley as you will be blocking your neighbors.

Huge upper unit with a roof deck with hot tub and grill.
Kids loved the location across from the beach.
Very clean and a garage spot to park the car.
Will definitely stay here again

We came back to Orange County for a wedding and instead of getting multiple hotel rooms we decided to get this perfect condo for our extended family. 8 adults and 2 kids had plenty of room and beds for us all. Being walking distance to Balboa pier and family fun zone was exactly what we were looking for. The rooftop patio with hot tub and views off the ocean was what set this place above anywhere else. We will definitely look for it’s availability next time we’re in town.

Great stay
The location of this place is perfect. Many restaurants and bars nearby. It was relaxing to sit in the hot tub and listen to the waves. The bikes came in handy and the rental is stocked with everything you'll need. Would definitely rent this place again.

We had a wonderful time relaxing at the beach, playing on the nearby soccer field, riding bikes and walking on Balboa Island. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all clean and modern. We would return to the Balboa Peninsula in a heartbeat. Great stay!

Great Family Friendly Vacay Spot
Great property for a family friendly vacation. Beautiful remodeled interior and exterior. It has everything you need. Great location, walking distance to beach, restaurants, shopping, and water activities. If you have more than one vehicle in your group, you will struggle to find parking for 2nd vehicle but spots on the street do open up frequently or beach parking is free from 6pm-8am. To park on the street you just have to watch and wait and swoop in quickly. AC isn’t quite big enough to keep the living areas cool in the heat of the day. But fans are provided and you can open doors and windows or just go to the beach!

Our stay was great. The home is nice and the location perfect. I had a couple of questions for Michelle and she responded almost instantly. The bikes and beach gear in the garage to use were very convenient since we had kids and didn't have to buy anything. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks!

Perfect Beach Rental!
Loved our stay here. The location was excellent - easy 2 minute walk to the beach. The property is very well maintained, clean, spacious and quiet. We loved having room to spread out and enjoy our own space. Having a garage was very convenient as parking in the area is tricky. We were able to walk to many things, including the fun zone, restaurants, etc. The owner cares a lot about her guests' comfort. When I notified her of a broken coffee maker, she had a replacement delivered within two hours along with coffee! Loved it so much we plan to return next summer. In sum, highly recommend!

GREAT place to stay
We just spent 5 nights in this condo and everything was perfect! Clean, spacious, nicely decorated and plenty to do within walking distance. As you walk on the boardwalk and see how busy it is, you may appreciate (like we did) that this one is one block away. Just a fraction of the people walking by as you enjoy the patio. The owner sent an email after we arrived to make sure everything was as we expected. It was! We would, and probably will, return to this rental again some day.

Great! Nicely decorated and updated. Very clean and well maintained. Very functional kitchen.
We enjoyed our stay. We had six adults and a baby and it was very comfortable. One block from beach, washer and dryer, beach umbrellas, chairs and boogie boards. Nicely decorated, updated and maintained. Would definitely rent again.

Excellent location, Beautiful house, Beautiful beach
I would rent here again in a heartbeat. Beautiful location! Lovely home right on the peninsula, so close to a beautifully clean beach, the pier and the harbour. The house was lovely, spotless and well equipped and had everything you would need even for a family of 7. The owners were easily reachable and were in touch to welcome you and also at the end to make sure everything went well with your stay. Looking forward to returning again soon

A great beach getaway with character and location!
We had a great week. My family loved the location- not on the boardwalk but close enough to walk to the beach and all that Balboa / Newport have to offer. The place was very well furnished and stocked as promised. The owners were very kind to check in and make sure everything was in order.
WE will be back!

Fantastic vacation home with perfect location!
We were thrilled with this vacation home!! The home had everything you would need for the perfect vacation! The kitchen was well stocked. There were beach towels, toys, chairs and boogie boards for the beach! The beds were very comfortable and the bedrooms were a great size. Everyone had their own space! The home is walking distance from everything on the peninsula!! A quick walk to the boardwalk, pier, FunZone and beach. The Wedge was only a mile away and we walked or ran down often to see the surfers. The boardwalk is also perfect for a run or walk. There are many activities on the peninsula and tons of great restaurants. The owners were so kind and wonderful to work with. I am already planning my next trip and will definitely stay in this home again!

Perfect location!
This house is in the perfect location on Balboa peninsula. We could partially see the ocean on one side of the house and the harbor on the other. The house was easy walking distance to the beach, the Fun Zone, the Balboa Island Ferry, restaurants (loved Cruisers!), bars, and shops. We fit 4 adults and one kid comfortably in the house. The house is nicely decorated with a beach theme. And, very importantly, the owner is extremely responsive, friendly, and easy to work with. I would recommend this house in a heartbeat to other small families/groups.

Beautiful condo, close to the beach!
We enjoyed our stay at the condo. It was clean and very comfortable with lots of amenities. I loved the location it was only a house away from the beach. We were also close to the park, restaurants, and shops and Everything is within walking distance. I highly recommend staying here and I hope to return again in the future.

Couldn't have been better!
I have rented homes from VRBO for the past several years. This is my first time writing a review. The reason I'm writing this time is because this was my best experience EVER. Michelle was wonderful to work with. She kept in touch and even gave me her cell number in case I had any problems or questions. The house was in a perfect location. THE HOUSE WAS SOOOOO CLEAN. It was well stocked from the kitchen to the bathrooms. The beds and linens where comfortable. Every time we travel to the Newport area we will stay in home.
