Working with Kathy was very easy. The condo was very clean and even had chocolates awaiting us. A very short walk to the beach and condo sits on the bay side. We would highly recommend staying here. Also renting bicycles instead of a car was the way to go!

Kathy’s place was amazingly clean and well taken care of just like the pictures. Clean towels ,sheets , and dishes and the places even had access to beach chairs and beach towels.

We loved being so close to a bike rental shop, the ferry, and of course the beach! Kathy is the perfect host, and we would definitely come back!

We have stayed in this cute place a few times now and love the location and cleanliness of this studio. Kathy has always been so accommodating and easy to communicate with. A power outage happened one of our mornings and Kathy texted us right away to check in. Close to NHYC, restaurants and ferry landing. We bring our bikes to explore the neighborhoods.

Just 3 blocks from the ferry, this flat had everything we needed and to top it off, we could hang out in the cool breeze on the dock every night. Kathy was wonderful to work with, the flat was well stocked with the basics and even came with a cooler and chairs for the beach. We stayed on one of the hottest weeks this summer and the room does not have air conditioning, However, with the flat being on the ground floor, with 3 windows, a ceiling fans and a window fan. We stayed cool. Kathy, thank you for a wonderful week!

Great place! Host was super helpful. Walking distance to everything. Would totally recommend!

Can’t say enough about this Host she left the lights on, cracked some windows since we were arriving late, she recommended places to eat, things to do and some great tips like rent bicycles for the day only cost $10.00 and we rode everywhere. Beach chairs and beach towels in the closet so need to pack those items. Super clean I will be staying here again. Love this place

We had such a blast staying at this cozy place. There was such detail when I came to making us feel welcome. The only downside was the heat. We did bring a big fan from home because we did see in the reviews that everyone had been hot during their stay. We did encounter some peeping Toms early in the morning, which was creepy but unavoidable due to leaving the windows open for ventilation. All in all it was perfect for what it was, next time we will visit when it is cooler.

My daughter and her fiancé stayed here last weekend. They had nothing but great things to say about this place. The condo was very clean, the bed was comfortable, the TV was nice, plenty of towels and hot water. Parking can be difficult to find on the weekends, but with patience, they were able to find a spot. Great place for people on the go! Highly recommend. Kathy is very easy to work with... super friendly and accommodating. She gave the kids suggestions and recommendations of where to shop, eat, etc.

An overall great value. We were allowed early check in, and found splits of Pellegrino and prosecco waiting for us on our arrival. The bed is comfy, the bathroom and shower were roomy for the size of the place (it is a studio, after all). Beach chairs, towels, dock access. A lot of really nice touches, for sure. Something I would have liked to be warned about, though, is that the wall in front of the bed is all windows, and outside those windows is a walkway used by a fair number of people. One night I was sitting in bed reading, and people were actually walking by staring in the windows at me. So creepy and disconcerting! Leaving the windows closed wasn't really an option as this room is pretty warm in the summer and there is no a/c. This is no complaint against the owners, as there's really nothing to be done about it. I'd say the unit is fairly priced given the circumstances. Just something I think people should know when making their plans.

Really a great location to explore Balboa Island and the Peninsula. Activities, restaurants and sand. Kathy is great to work with.always just a quick text away to answer any questions. Bed was comfortable, towels fluffy and refrigerator cold! Steve the bartender at the Landing was great, so many friendly people. Research Groupon and Living Social for deals! Think about using Uber if you don’t want to give up your parking spot!

Very cute studio unit at back of property. No water view. Owner is very accommodating and considerate. Many amenities that add to guests comfort (i.e. full kitchenette, beach towels & chairs, etc). Short walk to Balboa ferry. Highly enjoyable & would recommend!!!!!

Great location, within short walking distance to the beach and local attractions as well as dining.

The condo is 3 blocks from a sandy Newport Beach. The owner provides 2 beach chairs and 2 beach towels. You can rent a bike nearby for $10/day. Pretty much all amenities that you need are provided. The washers & dryers are shared by the entire complex, but they are only a few steps away. There is no road noise or any noise from the upstairs neighbor. The owner asked for a pretty large refundable deposit, but it was promptly and fully refunded after we left. Because this is April (off peak), I didn't have too much problem finding street parking. The area has many (empty) rental properties around. When they are all filled up in the summer, I imagine finding parking will be difficult. It's even more difficult on street cleaning day. Sadly I forgot to move my car and got a ticket. So pay attention to those street cleaning signs. This was the only negative thing on my entire stay. Everything else was great.

This was the perfect location for us while attending a regatta at the Yacht Club close by. We were within easy walking distance to the venue and plenty of options for dining close by. Kathy was super sweet checking in on us and we couldn't have felt more at home. From the personal note, chocolates and bubbly to the comfortable accommodations and clean space, we highly recommend this location!

Everything was great!

Really the only thing that i would say is that if this unit had a small air condition this cozy place for the price is a 10.... we would not hesitate to stay here again in the future... the owner was very attentive....

I was very impressed with the property Very Romantic My Wife and I Enjoyed it so much Looking to coming back next year

We enjoyed our stay although were there during a mini heat wave so it did get warm. There is a powerful vornado fan that for standard California weather is probably very adequate for cooling. We enjoyed sitting out on the dock in the evenings with a cocktail and in the mornings with our coffee. Lots of nice touches, keurig with a sampler pack of coffees, high quality paper products, beach towels etc. Water, chocolates and a small bottle of prosecco greeted us. If you're looking for an economical place to stay that is clean and bright this studio works. The room opens onto a passageway but it was fairly quiet with only the odd foot traffic.

We had a great time in Newport and this studio was perfect. Quaint and quiet street and steps from the water. Would definitely recommend!

A perfect home base to play beach bum. Close to everything & Kathy is great!

This was a perfect place to enjoy Balboa! Clean and very cozy. The only thing nicer than the property was the hospitality we received. I definitely will be returning.

This place is everything it claims to be. Clean, comfortable, great location. We would definitely stay here again. Kathy was great to work with and very responsive to some last minute changes we had. Surprisingly quiet neighborhood.
