Great location

This house is in a great location with beautiful views. It rained all week so we didn’t get to take full advantage of the beach. The house is dated and could use some upgrades but the location is the best and it was clean.

Pre Christmas get together

Loved our stay. Perfect layout with great homey vibe with plenty of seating in different rooms to allow everyone their space with a beautiful view at all times. The house is well equipped for entertaining

An amazing place to stay right on the bay and a quick walk to the ocean. Our family had an excellent week - plenty of room and very comfortable!

A Dream of a Stay

Thank you for the wonderful stay. The property is very clean and the location is impeccable. That view of the harbor makes this place an incredible value. The vibe of the interior is very charming, like a true mid-century modern beach house. My guests and I loved it!!!

A million dollar view

Enjoyed the location. The home of course is very very old but it’s comfortable and clean. The stairs going to the second floor are steep and very difficult for senior folks to handle.

Great location

The property is in a fantastic location, and has lots of space for people. The process for this management company is a bit more involved than others (names of all who visit, driver's license security check). The house is extremely outdated although the kitchen appliances are new. The carpets are dirty but the beds are clean. There are no perks like coffee, bikes, boards, or anything.

Beach Getaway

Great beach vacation, the place and location were fabulous! A little confusion getting in, had to call for assistance but he came right away and was so nice! The downstairs bed and bath which I thought would be perfect for my Dad (he uses a walker) had no tv (there is one in the picture) and no step in shower ( I thought the window in the picture was the shower) the shower is not shown and the step was too high for him. But he still had the best time! Would definitely stay there again! Thanks for a great vacation!

$1M View of Newport Harbor

Just as advertised with a great view and little neighborhood beach right across the street. My family enjoyed the large kitchen and living room spaces and especially the beach setting which is about 40 foot away from the front door. Decor and layout of house is a bit weird, odd, old lady'ish with beach theme signs ?? but who cares. Property management does good job. Only heads up was all the extra fees on top of the nightly rate. Add about 30% for the upcharges...ouch!!

Large house with character on Balboa Peninsula

Review is for 3 night off-peak period (Feb). You really can't beat the location - has a small beach facing the bay right across the street. Water is calm and a perfect spot to launch a kayak or SUP. The pictures on VRBO are accurate - yes, the house is dated and a bit eclectic, but we found the charm in that. Everything was clean and in working order - zero deferred maintenance items. Other important things that I find important in a short-term rental: Beds - beds were comfortable and ample pillows were provided. Showers - good water pressure, water heated up quickly. Kitchen - was very well stocked. Gas range which I really prefer over electric. Plenty of pots n pans. Property management company was great to deal with / very efficient. Only minor niggles - no laundry detergent, bathrooms were equipped with "does it all" soap (body & hair). Overall nice very large place in a fantastic location.

DO NOT RECOMEND - Beautiful House but very poor management team

The house is beautiful and well located but prepare to have a hard time with the company managing the property: 1- The announce say pet friendly so I came with my dog, the manager told me "we saw on the camera there is a dog so we charged your card $100" with no notice. 2- I asked them for a late check out (initially 10am which is way too early for me but I can understand) they told me it's $100 per hour... I asked them if I can pay 2 extra hour and if they can offer 1 they told me that they can offer me $2 of discount. 3- We arrive in the house and we were suprised to see 4 bedrooms (initialy 3) so we were happy to have one more bedroom. The manager called me in the middle of the day telling me that this unit is not for us and they are going to come and move our stuff with the no respect in the discussion. The overall experience has been a nightmare with them which is sad as the house is gorgeous. I DO NOT RECCOMEND YOU TO RENT THIS HOUSE OR THEY WILL FIND A WAY TO CHARGE AND SPY YOU WITHOUT YOUR AGREEMENT.

Great location and views but needs a remodel.

Great location and views. Walking distance to everything. There is plenty of room to park in front of the home normally (summer may be more difficult) or in the garage. The other half of the garage was the owner's storage. Our larger SUV fit fine. The place was clean but definitely could use a remodel. Vinyl plank flooring or tile vs carpet makes more sense in a rental. The carpet around a toilet is pretty yucky these days. Someone was renting the other portion of the house. We did hear them a few times but it wasn't too big of a deal. The little sandy beach-looking area in front is not a beach for playing or hanging out on it seemed to be the spot where folks walked their dogs to use the potty. If you want to play in the sand you just need to go to the beachside plenty of room over there. Lots of places to eat/shop, and ride the ferry within walking distance. You don't need a car if you do not have one. The two bedrooms upstairs (primary and secondary bedroom) share a shower and a nice big sink/counter space. The primary bedroom has nice sliders and a small deck to enjoy the view with its own separate toilet and vanity space. There is a separate bedroom with its own bathroom/shower on the main level.
