We loved the enclosed front porch and the proximity to the beach along with shops and restaurants. We had a small electrical issue (our fault) and they responded right away. Would stay here again and again :)

Just what we were looking for in a VRBO. The only issue we had was parking. The designated spot was small but our small SUV still fit in the spot for the first 2 days but the last 2 days the neighbor parked over the line and we could not fit our car in. I was unaware who the neighbor was so we were forced to park in the street. It was a busy weekend so we had to park pretty far away and spend extra time finding parking.

The location was amazing and the home was clean when we arrived and very well appointed with everything we needed. Despite being a dog friendly rental, there was no sign or smell of dogs or dog hair anywhere. The bed in the master was more comfortable than mine at home as was the couch. We appreciated having a parking space and loved having restaurants and boat tours within walking distance. We would definitely book here again. The traffic does speed down Balboa Blvd so be very careful crossing the street and always use the crosswalks.

This home is in the heart of Balboa. You can walk to the beach, pier, restaurants and shops. Great location, clean and overall great value. The only thing is the parking spot is so small. If you have an SUV get ready to park on the streets, but we didn’t have a problem finding parking so it was fine. Would definitely recommend and would absolutely stay here again.

The beach house was perfect for a Newport Beach and Balboa island trip. The Wi-Fi is fast, the beds are comfy, the location is fantastic! I swear the cookware and kitchen necessities are the best we’ve had at a vrbo. You are about 1/2 block from beach and two blocks from balboa ferry. Coffee shops nearby, pier and late night cocktails!

We really enjoyed our stay. The home was very clean, well stocked, roomy and comfortable. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. Location was a short walk to food & beach. Beach chairs would have been much appreciated but we brought our own.

Overall the location was perfect for our family. Like most beach homes in NP they need updates and this one definitely needs one. It was clean but can use a new couch and a better dining table. The grill outside was perfect for our cookouts and the kitchen was fully stock with everything you need and functional.

Being around the corner from the beach was amazing! The area has shops and restaurants so it’s very convenient. The space itself was pretty clean except the couch was stained and smelled. The fridge was leaking and made loud noises. Otherwise, it had everything we needed! Really liked having the boogie boards and beach chairs.

Convenient to where we needed to go and to beach access. However, when we walked in it was 100 degrees inside and hot outside. The AC was not working so they said there wasn’t any (even though there was a thermostat and vents and a unit.) this was beyond uncomfortable and they wanted us to be there to have someone come! We had plans from the minute we arrived ! No refunds were allowed so we had no choice but to stay. The owner upstairs called the company and stated we dead bolted a door which we did not. I don’t even have a deadbolt. There were no directions provided on which door to use and not to use and both doors had codes and both doors accessed the unit WITH THE CODE. There were only 2 ceiling fans one in the living area and one in the main bedroom but not the other bedroom. There was no flat sheet or was it a fitted sheet in the second bedroom. We had to sleep with all the windows open which provided no cooler air. This unit sits on the busiest street in Newport Beach so we heard the neighbors and traffic all night from the open windows. Fans were delivered the next day that we had to take time to put together ourselves and still weren’t strong enough to bring air in from outside from the open windows or feel any unless standing directly in front of them. Dirty glass in the cabinet. Very uncomfortable sleeping here like this. Also was asked by the company to send complaints to them directly but not write a negative review. I’m sorry, it was negative and if my experience wasn't up to par then I’ll be damned if we suffered to provide someone else a better experience and not speak on it. Never again.

Not well maintained at all. Guest bathroom toilet seat rocked. both bathroom sinks backed up. Had to put sheets on couch, filthy and smelled as did the entire house smell. I've been a VRBO owner as well as rented all over the country for years and have never stayed in a property like this. My suggestion is someone check it out.

The location of this property is amazing but for the price, I'd keep looking! I came to Newport for work for 3 weeks and my priority in booking this place was the dedicated parking spot. In the listing, it says the spot fits a "normal-sized" SUV. 100% not true. I have a small-class SUV (Mazda CX5) and it wasn't possible. Even if the neighbors parked appropriately (which they never did) it would be hard for a mid-sized sedan to fit in the spot. So, I had to find street parking every day/night. They only offered me $150 refund for the trouble and to get that I had to speak to about 7 people over 4 days. The place is very shabby. The walls were scuffed with patches of different color paint and the couch was so stained I covered it with blankets before sitting on it. The floors are cheap vinyl that is buckled and damaged. There are no instructions on anything. I never figured out how to turn on the fireplace (??) The laundry is shared with the unit upstairs, it's off the master bath in a common room. The refrigerator leaked water out of the bottom. When I contacted them they said they'd schedule someone to come out and never did, or so I thought. I was later told a maintenance person was there to assess the problem even after I told them repeatedly that I did not give my permission for anyone to enter when I was not there. (but the fridge still leaked) The property is managed by Vacasa, I never had contact with the actual owner. Vacasa customer service was pretty terrible in general. Especially the folks you get when you first call.

Great location for enjoying the beach and local restaurants. The property was clean. There were a few issues, but Vacasa took care of the issues promptly. The only real downside is that it’s in the flight path of the Orange County Airport, and parking is very limited unless you want to pay for municipal parking.

Fantastic location and very clean and comfortable place. But not at all stocked with the basics. Not even salt and pepper or coffee filters. Thankfully there is a small market a block away, but they could have at least had a reusable filter there. I also would have loved some sort of restaurant guide. Definitely not a deal breaker, but for the price, the very basics would have been nice.
