Excellent home, lots of room, great views, right on the bay, walk to activities, beach, food. Everything you need to cook or spend time on the beach, chairs, etc. Nice to be on the bay side away from the wind and people. Will return!

This house is very clean and spacious with a very nice outdoor space. All three levels have large beautiful balconies with great views. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the ocean The host, Todd, was a pleasure to work with - very responsive and made the trip effortless on my part.

It was everything and more as described. This home is extremely high-quality with beautiful furnishings and comfortable beds! The location is perfect. The views are amazing. The amenities are all there. The kitchen was fully equipped. There is nothing we needed. There is a drip coffee maker, and a Keurig, you are a stones throw from the Balboa fun zone. There is a nearby liquor store. Lots of places to eat and fun things to do. It is just a few blocks from the actual beach. The fire pit and pool table were a family favorite. The communication with the property manager was perfect. I would book this location over and over again. You definitely get what you pay for!

We loved our stay in this beautiful home on the bay! The view is spectacular and so close to restaurants, shopping and bars. It is a very spacious home and is perfect for privacy when needed. The house is right next to the Fun Zone and the Balboa Pier, so it's perfect for families with kids.

What an amazing property, the view of the bay from all three levels was beautiful. Located next to the balboa fun zone, everything you need is within walking or biking distance, so once you arrive you never need to get in a car again until you leave. The setup was perfect for entertaining with a kitchen on the first and third floors. The master suite is located on the second floor along with the gym. The house was clean and everything was in working order. Definitely a 5 star experience

We had a wonderful time and Todd was extremely helpful.

All was good. Everything was walking distance and it was the best. Celebrated Dad’s 77th birthday at the Harborside Restaurant and it was lovely.
My Teen and college kids had a blast going to the beach and village.
We were all able to park and fit on the property.
The house was equipped for cooking and going to the beach. Everything is a 1 to 3 minute walk to grab, breakfast, lunch, dinner and cocktails. The Village was just a 1 minute walk. The beach is a 3 minute walk, more perfect it cannot be.

We spent our evenings on the patio, Barbecuing and sitting by the fire pit. Loved paddle boarding each day from the back of the property. The location is very convenient to the beach and an easy bike ride too many restaurants. The house was especially clean and well appointed. Our host was very responsive to any questions prior and during our visit. Looking forward to another visit in the future.

The home is very pretty and in a great spot. Todd was very quick to answer our questions. Master bed is super comfortable. Kitchen is well equipped. The home is very comfortable and relaxing. Great amount of parking is a big plus in this location. View from all three floors is amazing! Loved our four days there!

I have rented many high-end places in Newport Beach over the years. This one is by far my favorite, and I will be going back here. First, it is three stories. There is something fun on every story. Everything is very spacious and there is a beautiful Italian decor that is very beautiful. There is a hug spiral staircase that is just fun to walk up and down. The top floor I called "the Penthouse" because it has a huge kitchen (the bottom floor also has a kitchen), piano, pool table and TV area with a great balcony.
Everything we needed was provided for. There is easy in and out parking which is key in Newport Beach. The sofas and beds were super comfortable and there is nothing like stairing at the boats/yachts as they go bay while you are waking up.
Trust me on this one, you cannot go wrong. The neighbor is also very nice. There is also great privacy since you have no one on your left. Top it all off with a BBQ, firepit, and your own personal dock to walk down on, or relax on the couch and you have the PERFECT PLACE TO ENJOY!
The property manager Todd was also super great and easy to work with. I wish I could give a few more stars.
Tell em Attorney Steve sent you!! See you soon.

We had so many compliments from absolutely everyone on the house!! I most definitely will stay here again as it just doesn’t get better than this in Newport on the water!

We decided to rent this house for my 50th birthday. Balboa has always been a special place, and I spent much of my childhood here. It was the perfect location and house for our group The house is amazing and literally does have everything. The views are non-stop and as good as you will find of the bay and the island and the Newport Coastline. The entertainment spaces are perfect with both a lower and upper kitchen and living area. The bedrooms are very good size and private from each other and most have en suite baths. The pool table, the piano and the bbq all got good use from our group, as did the bikes.
The house is not only the perfect house for an incredible stay in Newport, but the location is right where you would want it to have access to everything the area has to offer. Right next to the Fun Zone and the restaurants, shops, and harbor activities. Balboa Pier on one side with the Pacific Ocean, and the ferry and the bay right outside your door. We even had a boat to enjoy the dock. And then made use of the firepit for the perfect finish to the evening.
Todd and Tina, the hosts, were on it when we needed them, and they even had an air pump for an air mattress when I didn't have one. It was a very clean, well appointed villa and it offered us everything we needed to entertain our friends and family with the amazing beauty and culture of the Newport Peninsula and Balboa. Thanks to the hosts and the owners and to God for allowing us to stay there and for making this happen!

Weird layout We spent most of our time on the bottom floor which has a very small kitchen and a nice sitting room. There were only four bedrooms and they were very small. The elevator wasn’t working when we there so our elderly parents couldn’t go up the stairs.
All in all it was a great experience.

My family and I had a wonderful time at this beautiful home. My partner, son, sister and brother-in-law and their two kids (7 total) were able to comfortably enjoy ourselves with plenty of space including alone time. We loved the harbor views, spiral staircase, fire pit and quick walk to the beach and other activities. Our hosts, Todd and Tina were very attentive to our needs and checked-in with us throughout our stay to make sure everything was going well. It was certainly a vacation to remember!

The Best Vacation House!
This was the best vacation my family has ever had. The place is a gem! It is beautiful with amazing views. We especially loved how walkable this place was. There are so many fun things to do and great restaurants near by that you don’t have to use your car to go anywhere. Todd was very nice is showing us the place and we appreciate his care. We hope to be back again soon!

5 STARS ALL THE WAY!
This was the best family vacation I think we've ever been on. The host, Todd, is incredible, really he's the best! The house is in a PRIME location, walking distance to everything and a very short walk to the beach. There's a park and swings for the kids, and the Fun Zone is right outside the door where the water taxis and ferry's are to get to the island. The house was so beautiful and had everything we needed! I'd highly recommend this home for a family vacation with children and adults alike.!

Heaven on Earth!
From beginning to end this property exceeded all expectations. Todd and Tina were fabulous hosts who took care of every question I could come up with and they always responded immediately. The quality of craftsmanship of the home is 10/10. The furniture is plush and comfortable as well as the beds. The linens were also everything you wanted them to be. No expense has been spared on this property! You will not regret taking this trip. It is one to remember!

House is very clean and well appointed. Perfect for a group of adults or family with older children. Location is awesome—Cruisers right across the street had great drinks & pizza. We brought our boat and had so much fun cruising the bay. Having a private dock was awesome. Sweet neighbors and lively neighborhood. A few minor issues that the host was very attentive to. Todd was great to work with and we can’t wait to come back!
