Our family had a great stay. We felt comfortable in the home and the surrounding area, walkable to the beach and restaurants. The kitchen had what we needed to cook and grill was great to have as well.
The pictures do not show, there are boogie boards, wagon and balls to utilize on the beach in the garage, kids loved this.
The only suggestion I would make, all of the beds need more supportive pillows. They were very small and flat.
Overall our family had a wonderful stay. We will be back to Newport Beach.
Treated daughter and granddaughter with a stay at Balboa for their birthdays. The unit IS a gem of a find with everything you would want for a vacation at the beach. Location is prime on a very quiet street next to everything. We especially enjoyed starting the day on the front porch for morning coffee. Will be back!
It was a pleasant surprise to walk in and find out the house had AC. Very clean and perfect location, will come back.
Two minor things to note:
The tub near the garage is missing a drain and the garage is extremely difficult to get in and out of if you’re in anything larger than a sedan.
Our family enjoyed our stay! Kitchen was well
Equipped and the house was comfortable. Having a garage was convenient. We rented bicycles and enjoyed cycling the beach and walking the fun zone which is a 3 walk from property.
Definitely recommend this property!
This house was perfect and the location was fantastic. One and a half blocks to the harbor and the same to the beach. Great kitchen and a garage which is a huge benefit for the area. The customer service was fantastic. The check in/access was easy. Everything was clean and comfortable. Five Stars.

Reviewer Comments:
This is a great place to stay in Newport Beach. Home was clean, comfortable, and everything was in good working order. Could hardly ask for a better location. While it's not right on the sand, the beach is only one minute away on foot, as well as the Balboa Island ferry and practically everything else you need (restaurants, shopping, etc). Perfect amount of space for 4-6 people. Property management agency can sometimes be hard to get ahold of, but they very helpful. Would definitely stay here again!
