I spent a two-month sabbatical in the area, and the location of the property is ideal for this purpose: close to a shopping center, close to many supermarkets, close to restaurants and bars, and close to many beaches. For me, access to a swimming pool on the property, which is very attractive, was also a great boon. The apartment is very light and comfortable, has a large balcony, all the amenities that you need and is easy to keep clean. The owners are very friendly and helpful, and respond quickly to queries and requests. Access to cleaning service was also highly appreciated.

What a wonderful time we had at Hermine's apartment. It was exactly what was described. It was very clean and spacious and the location was great for walks to Balboa Island and Back Bay. Being so close to Fashion Island was also a huge plus. We can't wait to do it again!

The Condo is so spacious that it allowed both my husband and I to work remotely without disturbing each other. We enjoyed being able to walk to Balboa Island restaurants and shops, take long runs and bike ride along the Back Bay Trail, workout at the gym and sit by the pool. So close to the beach, Fashion Island and to grocery and other retail spots that we didn't have to venture far for anything. Comfy linens and plentiful towels - even for the beach! The kitchen has everything you need and the bathrooms and laundry room were well stocked, too. Most of all the hosts were so thoughtful and pleasant to work with that we'd definitely stay again!

One of the major influences, especially in today's environment, is the cleanliness of a rental. Upon check in we felt the unit was stocked with everything we could need during our stay and the unit was very clean. The beds are comfortable and plenty of linens and towels are provided. The complex is in an incredibly convenient to all the the great places in Newport Beach like Balboa Island and Fashion Island Mall. Hermine and Danny are wonderful hosts and very helpful with anything you may need. I would definitely recommend this rental!!

Comfortable accommodations in a great location.

Very big, light and nicely located

My wife and I had an excellent stay at this property. The apartment is very large, clean, comfortable and has all the necessary amenities for a very pleasant stay: fully equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, dishwasher, 2 bed/2 bathrooms, wifi, parking space etc. The complex, in which the apartment is situated, is very quiet and has 2 lovely pools and a well equipped gym. The apartment's location in Newport Beach is unrivalled - it’s a 10 minute walk to the beautiful Balboa island which has an abundance of shops and restaurants and which allows easy access to the peninsula via the ferry. Fashion island (a shopping centre with grocery store, restaurants, cinema etc) can also be easily reached within 25 minutes on foot/5 minute drive. There is also a grocery store, cafe, pharmacy etc. located at the Bayside shopping centre, a 5 minute walk away.Danny and Hermine were very helpful and friendly hosts. They welcomed us with a beautiful hamper and were readily available to answer any queries which we had during our stay. They went above the call of duty to make our transition to Southern California from Ireland as smooth as possible.We will definitely stay here again!
