Very Nice Place by the Beach

We stayed in this VRBO for three nights and it was very nice place. TV in the living room was not working, and the owner had it replace immediately. I can recommend this place for those looking to enjoy the Southern California Beach.

Beautiful home and location

The home was beautifully decorated and just a quick walk to the beach, restaurants and pier. The only negative is the upstairs unit. As noted by other folks, when people are in the upper unit you can hear every footstep

Know that someone is staying above you, and it's noisy

The place would have been perfect, except we had no idea someone would be staying above us, and you hear every footstep they take through VERY creaky floor joists. While the property description on the LAST LINE explains it's a duplex, we certainly had not read that far in the description as the "house" appears amazing in the pictures and description (which it otherwise is). Our first night we were woken at 4:30 a.m. when the upstairs neighbor must have left for the airport, and then when housekeeping came, they were dragging furniture around over our living space, which sounded like trucks driving by. Then the second night when the new guest arrived, they were up until after 11:00 p.m. moving in and unpacking, walking all over our ceiling for an hour. If you rent here, be prepared to rise and fall with the upstairs renters.

Wonderful location, great property

Pros: - Location! A block from the beach, a block from Balboa fun zone with restaurants, entertainment and bars, and about a 5 minute walk to the pier. - Property was clean, comfortable and inviting. - Having 2 parking spots and a washer/dryer was such a convenience. - Check in process was easy and fast. - Information booklet on how everything worked in the property was a nice touch. Cons: - Not really a con, but it was uncharacteristically cold the weekend we were in Newport so maybe a couple of more throw blankets would have been nice. We just ended up taking comforters from the bed to use whole lounging on the couch. We would recommend this property and would definitely stay here again!

Great place

Stayed in November. The weather was perfect we were able to walk to the ferry to tour around Balboa Island. The bikes were great for our party of 5 and watching the sunsets on the beach is a must. Beds are super comfy. We ate our meals out but the kitchen looked well equipped. It was an enjoyable weekend and we were able to see whales on our private boat tour.

Great location, suboptimal house condition

This place has a great location—one block away from beach. We did take the advantage and walked to the beach several times a day. But the condition of the house is suboptimal. The furnitures are old and the sliding doors are malfunctional. You even can’t close the door of the bathroom when you take showers. The bedsheets and Towels are cheap, low quality and uncomfortable. The floor is dirty and slippery. The light over the dining table is a joke. It is so low and hit my head every time when I eat. Parking is also hard. The garage is too small for our minivan.

A perfect spot to stay for awhile

Enjoyed getting to stay in this home with a great location close to the beach and the bay. It was nice to have bikes provided in the garage to ride on the bike paths, as well as beach toys and towels. Everything was sparkling clean and the kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to prepare a meal. The beds and linens were comfortable and fresh. Check in and check out was easy. A great place to stay!

Great location!

We stayed here for my son’s wedding. My husband, daughter, son in-law and 2 grand kids 5 and 8 years old. We wanted to be close to the beach, restaurants, playgrounds and the wedding venue. This place worked perfect for our needs. We were all very comfortable staying here. Denise, the property manager was very nice and explained where everything was located and directions on how to use appliances. We would stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Beach and Snow Rentals

Host profile image
We purchased this property to have a fun beach property to enjoy. There are so many ways to enjoy the Peninsula including lounging on the beach, rollerblading or biking on the beach walk, SUP, jet skiing, or renting a Duffy Boat, Kayak or Segway. In the evenings we love making a bonfire in one of the firepits on the beach, cooking up some hot dogs over the fire, and then roasting marshmallows for dessert.

Why they chose this property

This property has been beautifully renovated and is in a great location close to everything!!

What makes this property unique

Walk to beach, bay, ferry, Fun Zone, restaurants and shops. Quiet area of the Peninsula
