Perfect for Balboa Fun

Excellent location and parking in off street carport is a plus. Equipped with convenient amenities in the kitchen. The roof deck is really nice for morning or evening hang outs.The king mattress could use an upgrade but otherwise this is a great place for two people!

We visit Newport Beach multiple times a year, so we’ve stayed at quite a few property rentals. This one was by far our favorite location! As a family of four, I would say it was a bit tight, but we were only there to sleep. The pull out sofa bed was perfect for my 2 sons. I would definitely stay there again. The architecture and decor is very Mediterranean, and there is a bit of a learning curve to the bath fixtures. The kitchen had everything we needed for preparing meals, there were plenty of linens and beach towels. The boogie boards were a nice touch, and we appreciated having on site laundry machines.

Balboa living exactly as I imagined

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: For a couple visiting Newport Beach, this has to be one of the best rentals available. this property benefits from its absolute perfect location. You are on the street where the ferry crosses, this gives you access to the peninsula immediately. Rent a bike for your stay and park the car in the provided car port, your done. This location provides a nice scenic walk to get coffee in mornings on Marine street. If you're dying of starvation and don't want to go anywhere, just jump across the street to Todos Santos for great Mexican food or drinks. You can't miss with this place, it was cute, serviced all our needs and more. Just one bug: The TV was not configured for cable as advertised. This was ONLY an issue trying to watch the Super Bowl ending. We watched it on iPads. We didn't turn on the TV the rest of the stay.

Luxurious stay in perfect Balboa Island

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 had a wonderful 2-week stay here and hope to do it again. The unit has top-of-the-line everything (appliances, decor, bedding...even the windows). Despite being near the hub of activity near the ferry, it is blissfully quiet and secure in this unit (since most auto and pedestrian traffic doesn't go past Agate) The location is perfect - easy to go across to the peninsula, an easy walk to Marine Ave with all the shops and even a really great restaurant (Todos Santos) right across the street. And having a covered parking spot on Balboa Island is a big, almost essential, convenience.

Terffic stay in great location

Really nice spot for two folks, with easy walking distance to the Main Street on Balboa Island. Plus, just one block from catching the Ferry. Condo is easy access, has off-street parking and is very comfortable. We’ll use it again!

Fantastic Stay!

I was in town for four nights on business and wanted to stay on Balboa Island. My wife and I have stayed several places before but none of them had air conditioning and for my stay in July I was happy to find the Tuscan style retreat did. The place was just as advertised, clean, and within walking distance to lots of shops and restaurants. The off street parking is a huge convenience as well. Next time my wife and I visit we will be sure to book.

Balboa weekend

Place was great!! Easy access and has a rooftop if you want to see sunset! Around the corner from the todos santos Mexican restaurant. It’s great and has coffee bar in the morning. Can walk to get on ferry to go across to many many restaurants and beach. We loved going to dinner on main strip! Royal Hen was yummy! It’s definitely an upscale rental for a one bedroom condo!

Birthday Get away

My husband and I took a trip to Balboa Island. This was a perfect location on a great little island and a great place to spend my birthday! Location is perfect! We had one problem, the rooftop deck was unusable as the umbrella was completely broken and it was too sunny without it. It was not possible to be replaced while we were there. Hopefully it has been replaced as of now.
