We stayed here for a few nights with my family. We loved the location of the property and the close proximity of the bay and ocean. We also appreciated the beach chairs and the bikes included in the rental. The only issue I found was the 1,000 deposit that they don’t release until 14 days after departure. I’ve stayed in a lot of VRBOs and have never seen that. I’m fine with a deposit but we should have that released after just a few business days, not 14. Overall, it was a great stay though!

Perfect for us!

The home was wonderful! Everything you need and then some was available. Quick block to beach on one side and a block to the bay on the other side. They had a binder full of all appliance instructions. The only thing I would recommend is for them to add a list of good restaurants, grocery, shopping and activities so that we didn’t have to research all of it. But you won’t be disappointed!

We enjoyed the house, it was perfect for a family. It was clean and everything was updated and nicely decorated and comfortable. All amenities were easy to use including the smart TV and BBQ. We walked to the beach and rented a small boat, the location is great for walking to many restaurants and activities. We will be back!

It was a very easy checkin with Denise. She was pleasant and easy to contact. The unit is spacious and very clean. The kitchen is well-stocked and organized with cooking utensils, dishes, etc. However, the beautiful master shares a bathroom with a smaller bedroom, and the smallest bedroom has a private, ensuite bathroom. The ferry to Balboa Island is within walking distance, and the Peninsula is very walkable! We didn't use our cars during our stay.

We had a great time and didn't want to leave!

My wife and I traveled to CA with our 2 adult children and had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. The accommodations were very nice and just as the website described. We found everything clean and working well and the location was perfect for visiting friends in the area. We also loved the proximity to the beach and bay. We will most certainly stay here again the next time we visit. Thanks for a great stay.

This property looks exactly as the photos show. It was clean and had so many extras like, beach chairs, umbrellas, bikes and boogie boards! It was SUCH a wonderful stay! The beach is so close and the bay as well. Minutes from all the fun shopping. The process was seamless and truly enjoyable. THANK YOU!

Good location, short walk to beach, pier, restaurants, bars, shopping etc. Condo was clean, well decorated and organized. Good beds and linens. Perfect for our quick getaway with girlfriends.

Clean and well maintained property with very comfortable beds and onsite parking. Just a minute’s walk from the beach, with all the basic amenities provided. Only suggestion I have is to include sugar along with all the spices and coffee available. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.

My family and I stayed at this property for 4 nights and had a wonderful time. Once we arrived we never got in our car again, we were able to walk everywhere and it was fabulous! The location was super close to the beach and the balboa fun zone. We loved that the property had everything we needed including beach towels, toys for the kids, chairs and umbrellas for us to use. We stayed on the top level and it worked out great. The house was very clean and decorated nicely. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Incredibly nice rental. Great location!

This is a great property in a fantastic location. The beach is a 3 minute walk on one side, and the bay is 3 minutes in the other direction. We played in the waves, paddle boarded in the bay, rode bikes, shopped, and had lots of great food right on the boardwalk. The only thing I’ll mention is that there is no bathroom attached to the master bedroom, but the shared bath is nice, and there is a small bedroom with a small bath attached. This property owner includes 6+ beach towels, 6+ beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, a boogie board, and 6 bikes people to use! Very nice to not have to bring all that along or rent.

Recently stayed at the Balboa Peninsula Beach Retreat in Newport Beach. The experience from start to finish was 1st class. From the start, dealing with Gila on the booking to the 'Meet & Greet' provided by Denise puts you at complete ease that you are dealing with reputable & reliable business. Quality of service is obviously something they focus on and deliver ! The apartment itself is exactly as pictured - a clean, spacious, relaxing environment with a high spec aimed at providing a tranquil stay for all visitors. From the well-supplied kitchen to the bikes/boards/etc in the garage, the property provides for everything you could need. Because the apartment was such a great place to be you could easily miss out on the best part, which is the location. Literally two minutes from the beach and the boardwalk - which takes you into Newport Beach centre where there are street markets, restaurants, shops, coffee shops and bars - and only two minutes walk into a lovely little area called Newport Beach Village where there are a number of shops, attractions, restaurants and other amenities. I would highly recommend this apartment for all of the above reasons. A great place to stay in Newport Beach and one I would definitely return to !!

We had a wonderful stay! Property is nicely updated, well appointed and conveniently located. Perfect for our family of 5 and newborn baby.

So much to do in the area, and the property is accessible to everything. Very clean and spacious

What an awesome stay we had at this Balboa Peninsula property! Priced right, clear and concise communication from the owner and manager, fully functional home with a relaxing atmosphere and comfort that was unmatched and close to just about everything which led to one of the best vacations we have ever had as a family. We will be back. Superb job and thanks for making this time so memorable!

Upper level only and must climb stairs to enter rental. Garage can support cars and small SUV's. We had a large SUV that would not fit. Rest of property features were great.

Very pleased with our stay. Denise greeted us upon our arrival at 9p. She showed us around and let us know how things work etc. Bedrooms were clean. I’ve stayed in many VRBO’s and this one was the cleanest yet. Access to the beach was a simple 20 seconds walk. It was nice to just let the teenagers walk there and you could watch them go off. Definitely would stay her again.

This place is gorgeous! The location is great too, just 2 blocks from the beach! We stayed here with our 3 kids and had a wonderful week at the beach. They had everything you could possibly need. It was very well stocked from kitchenware to beach toys. The host was great! She helped us get checked in & answered all our questions.I highly recommend this place! You won’t be disappointed.

This is an amazing property. Very close to the ocean on one side and Balboa Island on the other side. Beds very comfortable. Living room nice setting for family. Very clean and well maintined.

Great location near everything. Clean and spacious bedrooms especially the master bedroom which also has a balcony, fireplace and extra full size elevated air mattress. Parking is a little tight, but we managed to fit both our SUVs (one in the garage) and the other in the reserved spot. Note: parking is shared with the downstairs unit.

The location was so close to everything! The beach was not crowded and we enjoyed walking around Balboa island. We were able to walk to everything! The place was so clean, and the beds were comfortable! The sofas were also very comfortable. We really appreciated the beach umbrellas and the sand toys that were available for us to use in the garage. And there were 6 bikes available to ride! We would definitely stay here again!

The property was just like it was advertised

This is a really lovely place to stay. The location is excellent—easy beach and boardwalk access but not noisy. The condo is impeccably clean, well appointed and spacious. I would definitely recommend this location and plan to visit again!

This was such an important trip for us and it was perfect. Clean, organized, and spacious. Just a short walk to the beach, and the wonderful bicycles available to us.

Everything from booking to check out was a breeze. Pleasant place to stay, convenient location, would book again if ever in the area.

Propert is exactly as described. Great Communications, Clean and really close to the beach. This place is top notch, has all ammenities you need and more. Would definitely rent again.

The maids remained on property well past check in time. Very unprofessional. The property is advertised as having use of a garage. In reality, the garage is split with the lower level condo and not big enough for two cars. Master bedroom has no connected bathroom. The maids returned to the property during our visit--again, very odd. Upon arrival, the condo smelled musty. Remarkably, the owner blamed that on my brother's dog, who entered the condo for a few minutes when my brother came to pick us up. Very dishonest. The owner kept our security deposit, knowing that the smell pre-existed our stay and pre-existed my brother's dog entering the property briefly. A clear money grab. We will not be using VRBO again and will advise friends of the same. Just terrible.

Great!

We had such a great time at this property! The host met us at the property and took a short walk-through with us and showed us everything we needed to know. Kitchen was well stocked, everything was spacious and well kept. We would absolutely stay here again, the location is perfect, right on the peninsula, and just steps away from the ferry over to Balboa Island. Five stars all around!
