Incredible Newport Beach rental. Comfortable, clean, and great location.
I was impressed. The upstairs has all the bedrooms and the master has a sizeable bathroom and closet area. The kitchen is well thought out with plenty of storage and the converted garage makes the entire downstairs space feel much larger. The fire pit was a huge hit as was the panoramic door. Location is great with a short stroll to the sand and an even shorter stroll to the Fun Zone.

The home is immaculate, well laid out and supplied, with the best walking distance to anything you’d want to do. The outdoor fire is also a super way to wind down a day of fun. The management team makes everything perfect.

Great location for our Family
This home was perfectly located and close walking distance to beach, fun zone, places to eat. Parking is tight but doable for a minivan in garage and small car parked in front of garage. Bed linens need to be updated, some staining. I agree with other reviewers regarding primary bedroom.. black out shades are needed. In all other rooms they have them. Had a couple maintenance issues that were dealt with immediately. Extra bath towels would be nice. Would stay there again for sure.

Harding House
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a beautiful house! Can't believe it's a rental property. Wish we wanted to cook in the gourmet kitchen. It was clean and comfortable. Though the plastic kitchen chairs could use some seat pads. Street parking was unavailable so some walking was involved as we had 3 cars. There was supposed to be 5 of us but we were only 3 or 4 on a given day. One granddaughter got Covid (had to cancel) and a grandson got called into work part of the weekend. It was great to take a short walk in either direction to either the beach or the marina. Would definitely do it again!!! Great experience.

Great house
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time at Harding house. The house smelled so good when we first entered. It was so welcoming. Great set up with a fully stocked kitchen, ping pong table, beach toys and laundry room. The BBQ and fire pit were so convenient. Our kids spent all their time riding their bikes down the boardwalk and to the Fun zone. It was nice to have a dedicated parking spot but street parking wasn't too hard to find for our guests. The rooms were a nice size and have a bathroom attached to each. Our kids enjoyed having a TV in each room. Steps away from the Balboa ferry. This part of Balboa is quieter and a nice change of pace for a vacation. Thank you for checking in on us and answering our questions so quickly. Best rental experience!

Beautiful modern retreat
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Convenient location close to boardwalk and beach, lovely upgraded home. The space available in this home is its biggest benefit. Each bedroom with its own bathroom and a half bath downstairs. Outside fire pit was so lovely at night. We enjoyed sitting outside with a glass of wine in the furniture. Garage hangout space and was nice for the kids and outdoor shower was great for cleaning up post beach. We will definitely be stay again and loved how beautiful this home was. Recommend to management to provide more and better quality bath towels. They don’t have any beach towels so bring your own. We did so it wasn’t an issue. Also the home does needs softer seating for dining and bar. Difficult to work all day on hard plastic chairs.

Liked: Check-in, communication
Disliked: Location
Not what we expected
I would say that are stay was interesting. Location: The good. Located close to several amenities (wharf, some stores, restaurants). The bad, the neighborhood is a mix of nice houses and straight up run down apartments with some sketchy folks living right next door. Also, parking is super tight if you car doesn't fit in the provided garage. Reminded me of college having to hunt down a spot. On a positive it seems like everyone in the neighborhood has a "live and let live" mentality, just not what we were expecting. The House: The house was not clean upon arrival. My wife took her shoes off and within minutes her feet were black with dirt. Also, the house smelled super bad like stale beer, like a part house, also reminded me of college. Additionally, there is like zero privacy in the house, only a few windows have shades (the electric shade downstairs is a joke and nearly impossible to operate) and there was no shades pretty much anywhere else, anyone walking by can see directly into the house and there was no privacy from the neighbors. However, the worst was the master though...there is a ton of light that showers in all night, we had to use pillows to blockade it. Everything was just okay, kitchen wasn't fully stocked and we had some issues with the master bathroom getting hot water to the sinks. This home was marketed as luxury and new and it's neither. It would be acceptable as a muti-family party house for vacation perhaps. Overall it was a 2.5/3

Perfect location, great home, but not the cleanest.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything about the home and location was great, except the level of cleanliness. Hand prints and smudges on the white walls, some dishes had not been properly cleaned, AC vents looked like they had never been cleaned, the garage area had not been swept/vacuumed, and there was definitely animal hair on the sofas (thought this was a strict no pets allowed rental).

Amazing House | Prime Location
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I just stayed in the Harding house for a week with my kids. I originally wanted to rent a house on Balboa Island thinking that was the ideal location. After staying at Harding I realized that the location was prime, 1/2 block to the beach, 1/2 block to the fun zone and Balboa Ferry. The house itself was all new and beautiful, which is rare because more of the vacation rentals are run down. We had a slight issue with the internet, but Peter from the management company was very helpful and did everything he could to get the issue resolved. The house is as awesome as it looks in the photos, I highly recommend.
