Great place with plenty of room for the 9 family members visiting—the three floors allowed for space and morning coffee/evening dinner and wine on the roof top patio was above and beyond. Steps away from the bay water was perfect for launching paddle boards. 3 minute walk to Pacific Ocean /Beach. Short bike ride to downtown Balboa and Newport made sightseeing a breeze.

Location was great. We ate out a lot but also used the BBQ provided on the 3rd floor patio. When going out to dinner make reservations were possible. Mama D'S was by far the best Italian restaurant for dinner. They don't take reservations but give you focasia bread and offer drinks while you're waiting.

Communication, check-in, location, property description we’re all excellent! Looking forward to our next visit.

Wife and I worked remotely here for one week and it was a fantastic experience. Plenty of room to spread out but still cozy. We loved the patio upstairs as a place to watch the sunrise and unwind in the evenings. Easy walking distance to town and restaurants while directly across from a quieter section of the beach. Lovely!

We spent Thanksgiving Break at the property and it was great. The roof top deck is a great amenity. The location is fantastic. It’s a short walk to be part of the action but a quiet street if you want some rest. The management company who oversees the property were very helpful and easy to work with. The downsides were limited to: the duplex neighbor having a party on Thanksgiving until 2am (but it was a holiday), blinds that did not close out the light, so it was not dark enough in the rooms and the garage being too small to fit the suv we rented since the garage is shared with the tenant. These were little things and we would stay here again.

Prop mgmt. great. Property was basic nothing more. Kitchen definitely needs to be stocked better. There wasn’t a skillet, containers or most basic cooking utensils. Floors were sandy and windows had handprints all over. It would’ve been nice to be able to have things for the beach like bikes, boards or sand toys. Even towels would’ve been nice. Overall it was a beautiful property. Although I was not aware of the house being a duplex, the neighbors were very sweet and helpful. Honestly I think I was just upset that we had to cut our vacation short due to a family emergency, and I was not able to get a refund. That and NO A/C!

Plenty of space of our group of 8 adults and small children. Great stay.

This is such a roomy and beautiful home, we really enjoyed the time we spent with our family there.

Our family enjoyed our 1 week stay at this great property. The home had three levels giving us all plenty of room to share space and have space to ourselves. The location was perfect. The home is between the marina and the local beach. We had everything we needed to make family meals. The house could use a deep cleaning but overall it was a beautiful property that is perfect for a family vacation. We would stay there again!

The property was amazing and had everything needed. The check in and out process was easy and well coordinated. We would absolutely rent again!

Cozy and quiet, this home accommodated everyone. The decor is peaceful and classy, with gracious spaces for gathering and suitable places to comfortably retire from the group. One of our teenagers even insisted on sleeping on the rooftop patio! As usual, if you plan to cook at your VRBO rental, remember to bring your own kitchen knife (or at least toss a good sharpener into your suitcase); it's also long past time for this unit to get a new ironing board and iron (something folks preparing to go out to dinner or to a wedding will surely want). The property is not a beachfront location, but it has plenty of light and it's only a short walk to the ocean. The rental includes garage parking for one vehicle; on-street parking (it's right by a popular beach) is at a premium, yet we were always able to find a place for the group's second car within a block (and often directly in front of the house). Would we stay here again? Yes! This is now one of our family's favorite VRBO homes. Whether eating in or hanging out, we appreciated the privacy and luxury of staying in this home.

Fantastic location, beautiful house.

Excellent property with Gorgeous views. Listing is accurate and did not disappoint.

The property was clean and comfortable. Enough room for everyone. We had a perfect stay and the location is in a neutral spot where you can walk everywhere.

spacious, great location, nice roof top patio

This was such a great place and the management company was very responsive to the one, unavoidable issue that was quickly responded to. We will be coming back here for sure. Check and out was a breeze. Wished we could have stayed longer!

With the craziest of the virus this was a perfect solution to be wit family.

Our experience renting and staying here was very positive overall. The condition of the house was very good even though the kitchen cabinets and the bathrooms could use a bit of updating. Everything was very clean when we arrived which was especially important to us during the pandemic. The property management company and the owners were also very responsive to a couple of issues we reported at the beginning of our stay. We felt they went above and beyond to resolve everything they could during our two week stay -including replacing the mattress in the master bedroom. We will definitely try to stay here again next year.

Had a great time.

Location and price were both phenomenal. 4 adults and 3 kids was the perfect number of guests. Would definitely go again!

Easy check in. Extremely clean great for groups. Would high recommend. Thanks so much!

We absolutely loved the location and cuteness of this house. We would totally stay here again. It’s within walking distance to the beach, bay, parks, and food! One complaint though. Please get a new mattress for the master bedroom! It is horrible! There are huge divots where people have slept for years and it is extremely uncomfortable. Also, the toilet downstairs runs constantly if you don’t giggle the handle after every flush.

we loved the upstairs deck and lots of space for our group

We stayed here in January with 8 adults and had plenty of room to spread out. Views from the harbor to the ocean from the roof top deck. A few minor things to report to management, but nothing that influenced our stay. We all enjoyed our time there. I would highly recommend this property for larger groups and families.

OUTSTANDING! Perfect for a family holiday visit.

The house and location were great for our multi-generation fall getaway. The neighborhood was quiet and access to the beach, Fun Zone and Ferry was easy. Management was responsive to our request for help with a couple of minor plumbing issues.

Centrally located halfway between the 2 busy areas of the peninsula. If you like to walk it’s perfect. Great sidewalk right along the beach a couple of blocks away. Beautiful view of the harbor and all the gorgeous yachts going by from 3rd floor terrace. Very easy experience. Would definitely recommend.

This is our favorite beach house we've stayed at by far! The upstairs deck was amazing! The layout of this house was perfect for our multi-generational family and the walkability was great. It's located halfway between the Balboa Pier and Newport Pier which made for great exploring and dining. The beach was a little over a block away and a great kids playground with a bayside beach was less than a mile. Planning to rent again!

We were so excited to get here and stay. It is a great house for entertaining. The kitchen left me cold. The cupboards were dirty, no shelf paper and the outsides were so dirty. Had the rental service send in a carpet person to clean the master bedroom; really dirty. Location was great and the overall house was pleasant.

The house was PERFECT! Well appointed and amazing location. The property managers were very helpful and easy to work with. We had a fantastic experience!! Definitely recommend it!!!

Loved the roof top patio
