Overall a really great place to stay! You cannot beat the location. The view from the property is absolutely gorgeous! Kitchen was well stocked and allowed us to cook full meals easily. There could be a few improvements like new towels and having body soap/shampoo in all bathrooms but in general I would come again!

Amazing Beach Access

This VRBO was perfect for our family's needs. The beach access was amazing, and it was a short walk to some cute little shops. We traveled with our kids, 4 of them adults and the house had enough space to spread out. The living/gathering area was perfect for games and meals, and the view was amazing.

Beach front property, steps to the sandy beach, walkable to shops, restaurants, and Balboa Fun Zone. The property itself is huge, perfect for large family of 6. Love that it had two living rooms. A perfect home away from home.

Lots of room

The condo is very spacious. We were a party of 7. Never felt we were in each others way. We enjoyed the large dining table and large comfortable sofa. The beds were comfortable. Lots of water pressure and hot water. Off street parking is a real plus in this neighborhood. Wifi service was a little spotty. Easy check in and check out.

Great location but needs attention. Sliding glass door doesn’t work, screens in one bathroorm are torn and shower door doesn't slide, light switch/bulb in family room flickers, blinds in one bedroom don't open/close easily. Kitchen cabinet is missing a door, no wine glasses

Beachfront location

Very walkable to beach and restaurants. Very spacious and well supplied. I would have given it 5 stars all around except there was a power outage (which wasn't their fault) which was an inconvenience but my mom really enjoyed her 90th birthday surprise.

Great space, great location, needs some updates

Positives- great large space, plenty of beds and baths for a large group of people. Excellent location with walkability to activities. Negatives- no beach towels (they are offered at an additional “rental” fee), beds/linens need upgrading especially for the ratw, too many checkout rules.

Stay In This Property If You Get The Opportunity!

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 loved the location: steps to the sand, pier, restaurants, bars, and fun zone!. The Airbnb ad was a little misleading - it implied whole house so, when we found out we were on the second floor only, and did not have the patio for our toddler to play on, we were a little disappointed. But, everything else was exactly as advertised. The unit was clean, comfortably accommodated our group of 7, and the deck offers an awesome view of the beach, ocean, and sunsets. We offer our endorsement of this property and NBVP without hesitation.

Lots of Sleeping Space for Large Family!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than 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 this vacation rental. We have large family of 16 with grandparents and grandkids so we struggle to find room for everyone to sleep. We rented both middle and bottom units and even had room for some friends to spend the night. My only negative feedback is out of the owners hands as this part of Newport/Balboa is known for its large waves that break on the shore. Not great for young kids - so we had to drive down to Blackys and go walk over to the bay for safer swimming. Other than than - this place was very well stocked, clean with comfy beds. We had a great time!

Excellent vacation rental and excellent company to rent from

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than 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 two families share this large vacation rental. We have done summer vacation rentals for many years on the peninsula, using various rental agencies and some direct-through-owner rental properties. This was our first time using NBVP.I highly recommend NBVP for their excellent service. Before, during and after our stay, they were extremely communicative and very helpful. This condo we rented was not only exactly as described, but it was extremely clean - something unfortunately I haven't found in every rental agency or property we've used. The extra living room in the back was a huge added bonus. Kids could hang out there so that front living room wasn't taken over. Kitchen/front living room and dining layout are very open and spacious. Front patio (2nd floor unit) is pretty good-sized, too. Property had just had new flooring put in, which was an added bonus.

Wonderful accommodations close to Balboa pier

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: So happy with our vacation! The place was clean and well maintained. We had renters above and below us, but we never heard anything through the ceiling or floor. (Only the ground floor and second floor are rented to the public, but the owner rents the top floor to friends.) The view from the patio was amazing, and it was great to be able to walk to the ferry, the fun zone, the pier, and of course the beach. Laminate flooring throughout, comfortable furniture, lots of room, two of the four bedrooms had en suite bathrooms, two living rooms, large patio with gas grill, gorgeous view – the place was amazing. My wife and I stayed in the master, and the shower had great water pressure. One thing to note: bring some quarters for the laundry in the garage. The email instructions said a wash and dry would cost $2.75, but the cost had actually gone up to $3.00, and to really dry a load of towels it took two cycles in the dryer. Another thing we realized was that you need to bring your own spices, paper towels, and saran wrap, and we found that using paper plates and plastic cups was preferable to doing dishes. But they had all the pots, pans, dishes, glasses, flat ware, and utensils we needed. (Except a potato masher, but we bought one and left it there, so now it has one.) Bottom line: this is really just an ideal place for a Newport Beach vacation.

Views for a Week

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My family and I had a fabulous time in this property for a week. The property is located right on the boardwalk and as such, we woke up and went to bed to beautiful views of the ocean. The property nicely accommodated our family of 8 with plenty of sleeping room and bathrooms, which is key for us. The property has probably been updated within the last 5ish years and we liked the flooring. There is nothing fabulous about the furnishings but they are comfortable and appear clean. The place is more or less across from the Balboa Fun Zone area with lots of shops and a few places to eat and it is within walking of other shops and restaurants. We rented bikes which the kids rode all over and boogie boards and chairs and towels. Beach towels are not provided. There wasn't a good selection of pots and pans and no scissors in the drawer but a text to management and they brought over a brand new box of pots and pans as well as scissors and a set of knifes over that same day. Very accommodating. Parking was a challenge. There is a tandem spot on the left side of the driveway. However, there is a fence that runs along that side separating it from the place next door making it difficult to get in and out of your car. We also had a huge truck parked next to us on the right all week making it interesting to back out onto Balboa Blvd. Additionally, all the trash cans were put right behind our spot on trash day making it impossible to back out without moving trash cans around. We are from California so we used our cars maybe more than most people. If you don't plan to drive anywhere, then there will not be a problem. Overall, I would definitely stay here again and would recommend this place to friends.

5-Star Family Getaway

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: This house made for the perfect family vacation. Communication prior to arrival was very professional. The unit was really well stocked and perfectly set up for a family gathering. Loved being right in the beach and boardwalk for the kids. The unit is very close to such a beautiful neighborhood so it made for wonderful morning walks down to The Wedge. We enjoyed the closeness of the Pier and Fun Zone for our evenings getting ice cream with the kids. It was great having a second living room for our teenagers. Plenty of parking. The unit was very clean. Loved hanging out on the balcony, especially for sunset. Highly recommend this unit for a turnkey relaxing vacation.
