Great location.

Property was clean and spacious enough for 8 adults/teens. Location was incredible, something to do for each age group, plenty of activities even in the winter season.

Perfect location. Hear the surf and close to all of the action.

We loved the house and the location. Located near all of the action - fun zone, restaurants, etc. fall asleep to the sound of the waves! Would definitely come back.

Great Location and Property

House was clean and stocked as advertised. Perfect location with amazing views from the balcony. Enjoyed being able to have bicycles delivered beforehand. Had a minor issue with the locks not unlocking on the bikes and they had a runner to the house in 15 mins to get us up and going. Great stay!

Great Location For Fun

Unit is located at ground zero for the beach, dining, shops and just plain having fun. One issue is unit sleeps 8 people but only has seating for 3 people in living room. Need to add some seating/chairs or bring your own...

Fun vacation

This rental worked out great for our vacation. Unfortunately the floors were not very clean when we arrived and the dishwasher was broken. The listing stated that there was only a starter of paper towels and toilet paper, which was true. It would have been nice to have a better supply of those items. All in all we enjoyed our stay.

Too Noisy

Nice size for 2 couples and a child. Close to the pier, playground, restaurants and beach. 2 construction projects right out the front of the unit started at 7am each morning. 2 neighboring units also under going construction/remodeling. Unit directly under the departing flights from Orange County Airport starting at 7am.

Very nice place, you won't regret it.

Stayed at this property with family of 7. This place is great. Checking in is on the way to the property and the young ladies at the office are great. They have you in and out in about 2 minutes. Property is impressive. Spacious, clean, and great location. 3 large rooms toward rear of home, one with its own bathroom. Great kitchen (with fully stocked utensils) and dining room table with 6 chairs. Very large living room with TV and seating for 8 at least. On demand cable and movies on TV. Balcony has view of a great park where people like to hangout, bbq, and play games and sports. Right across the park is the beautiful beach with crashing waves. The beach has a sandy playground for kids and there is usually a lifeguard at the beach during the day. There are also first come first serve firepits on the beach for people to use. You can see the fires blazing from the balcony at night. The balcony is spacious with 4 comfy chairs and provided is also a bbq grill with 2 propane tanks. We bbqed on 3 occasions during our trip and you can see how jealous the people in the park are. Everyone that walks by is impressed by the great location and balcony this home has. Just across the park is the balboa pier where you can watch a impressive sunset every night while having a shake at the restaurant that is right at the end of the pier. One half block away is a great breakfast place called balboa lily's that has great food and service. Half block away is also 2 restaurant/bars with margaritas, cocktails and beer. 2 blocks away is the balboa fun zone and amusement park rides. The home also had free washer dryer in the garage. The only downside we had is that we were unable to park the rental car in the garage. The rental was a suburban and these garages are not meant for large vehicles. We were able to park in the parking lot at the park for a rate of 1 dollar per hour from 8am to 6pm, free after 6pm to 8. The location of this place is awesome and finding better views in such a sought after area is going to be hard. I hope this review helps someone. I Highly recommend this place.

Great location

We’ve stayed at this beach house before. The location is great. The unit has been updated recently. We had a few friends over in the afternoon. Everyone loved it. We will definitely come back. Just be careful of the stairs. It’s an upstairs unit. The stairs are really steep. Otherwise it’s a great place to stay.

Location plus and minus

This location is both good and bad. It’s close to everything including the Balboa pier and ferry with great beach access. But it’s so close to Cruisers Bar that the loud music played until 1 am and the noise stated mid morning with the sports games. Also the extremely loud trash trucks came daily to service the nearby businesses. The early morning noise from the alley was horrible and woke us up everyday. Let’s also talk about Beachview … very disappointing. You have to stop at their office to check in so if there any problems you have to wait for someone to come to you. The unit which sleeps 6 had 2 very low quality beach chairs and no umbrellas. If you want anything else like seating for all guests, a cooler or wagon etc for your beach visit you have to call them and pay additional fees for items most units provide. They’re also very unaccommodating of late check out requests despite their rental agreement and check in paperwork stating otherwise although they acknowledged they had no guest arriving after us. I would advise against renting from Beachview. We’ve rented in Newport Beach many times and there’s much better service available. We will avoid Beachview in the future.

Great Location

This is a great property for location to amenities. The beds were not great and there was only a couch that could fit 4 people snuggly otherwise no other furniture in the living room. We had an issue with the TV no working but it was handled immediately! It really helped that the downstairs neighbor was great because the parking required a team effort. To say it is tight doesn't really cover it. Overall it was a great time. Really can't say enough about the management team!
