Location is amazing, and the boat/toys were so fun! Owners were very welcoming and helpful. We had everything we needed for our short stay. The setup was a bit awkward, since owners living area overlooks the patio....but we enjoyed the outdoor space very much regardless. The washer/dryer was not located in our unit, which would have been an issue if we had a longer stay. Overall we had an amazing time!

We had a fantastic stay here and truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The hosts were welcoming, responsive, and made everything easy from start to finish.The location was hard to beat. We loved being able to hop on the Duffy and cruise over to Balboa Island, and it was also just a short walk to the beach, shops, and great restaurants. The bikes were a fun bonus and made it easy to explore the area.The home itself was cozy, comfortable, and the perfect place to relax after busy days out enjoying Newport, Disney, and the San Diego Zoo. We especially loved sipping our morning coffee on the patio with a beautiful water view, which made the start to each day feel extra special.Overall, this place had everything we needed and some great family memories were made here. We would absolutely stay here again and are so thankful to Judi for sharing this wonderful place! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great Newport Beach getaway.

I stayed here for 4 days with my husband and 15 year old son. It was one of the most relaxing vacations we’ve had in a while. Keep in mind this is not ocean front but is incredibly close walking distance to the ocean. The unit is upstairs from the main living area. Totally separate entrance. The unit itself doesn’t have a view but the patio on the canal is all yours. I drank coffee every morning out there with zero issues. In fact, we loved chatting with Nuel and asked for advice on the best places to visit in the area. We also had use of the Duffy and had a blast on it. Granted we are familiar with boats and how to operate them. It’s electric so make sure it’s charged before leaving. You are right around the corner from The Alley, a very yummy restaurant. Also right around the corner from a donut place that was quite delicious as well. We had a car rental but found it easier to walk or Uber places. The best part of the unit is the location in my opinion. The beaches nearby are less crowded than some of the other beaches. If you’re looking for a laid back, relaxing trip; this is the place for you. I also recommend taking the ferry to Balboa Island. Just walk on (it’s only 2). When you get there, rent a golf cart and cruise the island. We had an absolute blast doing this.We would definitely stay here again.

We LOVED this stay! The house was cute and clean. The hosts were so very friendly and available if we needed them but not on top of us. They had all kinds of fun activities available (boat, paddleboards, bikes, etc) and the location was perfectly in the middle of the channel and beach, close to restaurants and shopping but in a quiet neighborhood. We would definitely return!

About the host

Hosted by Judi Benson

Host profile image
I am a Southwest Airlines flight attendant and have been able to travel the world and meet so many great people. My husband Nuel is a boat guy and fishing and talking is his specialty. He has just renovated his 33 ft, trawler and would love you to see it or go on a boat ride with him. We have been married for ever and love it here in beautiful Newport Beach on the bay.Love to watch the gondolas and swimmers go right by the patio. I hope to meet you soon and hear about your lives and families and travels. Judi and Nuel Benson

Why they chose this property

The bay in our back yard is as good as it gets anywhere in the world. We walk to restaurants, movies, and of course on the sand to watch the sunset. Our property is newly decorated in a vacation beach theme and I am certain you will love it. Have fun here and make some lasting memories.We have 2 bicycles.2 paddle boards 2 boogie boards. beach chairs, a basketball and a ride in our boat for our guests and maybe even their friends. Have fun in the sun right here in beautiful Newport Beach California. The duffy boat and patio and all the toys are for your use only while you are here. The boat is really quite easy to drive and fun too.

What makes this property unique

Grill on the patio while watching the swimmers, boaters and paddle boarders go by and then of course join them in the fun. You may even see a gondola or two go by.
