Liked: Cleanliness, communication
The place is nice, especially for the price, but if you are staying in the downstairs portion, it is very noisy because of the additional unit above. This also is a very "corporate-run" listing and not like dealing with a single owner. You will have to sign lots of forms and wait an unreasonable time for your security deposit to be returned.
Excellent location. Close to the beach and very close to the balboa fun zone! Comfortably fit 8 of us. A/C was nice. Tons of beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, sand toys, and bikes! (Just no kids bikes) Shower in the garage was helpful. Everything was very clean and beautiful! Outside grill was big and clean. FYI there is no cooking oil or aluminum foil. Also upstairs feet can get a little loud, and you share the garage and driveway with the upstairs people. Also only smaller vehicles can fit in the driveway and garage. We loved our stay and would stay there again!
Beautiful, clean and great location. A lot to do for check in and check out. Could hear people upstairs walking around even in the middle of the night.
We vacationed with our adult children and grandbaby and had a fantastic stay. The property is clean, well-appointed and comfortable. The location is ideal. We would love to stay here again!
Couldn’t have stayed in a better location. Literally a couple minutes walk from the beach. Plenty of toys and equipment for the family to use at the beach. Check in process was a breeze and the rep was a pleasure to deal with.
It was a perfect spot for what we were looking for. The length of the property was great for a feeling of separation/noise concerns between the rooms. The Property was clean and comfortable with a wonderful A/C system. We were provided with a great set of beach gear and the outdoor shower was very convenient. Very nice neighborhood with kind people around. 2 blocks away from the fun zone, the ferry and the beach.

Excellent house and location
We recently had a terrific experience at the Balboa Peninsula house. Very well appointed and roomy. The communication was excellent leading up to the check in and including check out. We walked to get coffee, to the Ferris wheel, ice cream, and took a ride with a friend on her boat. Plenty of bikes were available as well. Everything was within a couple of blocks. Having a parking space in the garage was appreciated. I highly recommend this property!
This house is in the perfect location. It's steps from the ferry to Balboa Island, 5 minutes' walk to the beach and boardwalk, and within easy reach of restaurants, bars, and fun. Towels, bikes, beach chairs...All you need for a fun day at the shore is provided. And anything we needed or had questions about was answered within minutes. Definitely a great place to stay!!
Great location and house is stocked with everything you could need or want
Extremely well managed property

About the host
Hosted by Beach and Snow Rentals
We purchased this property to have a fun beach property to enjoy. There are so many ways to enjoy the Balboa Peninsula including lounging on the beach, rollerblading or biking on the boardwalk, SUP, jet skiing, or renting a Duffy Boat, Kayak or Paddleboard. In the evenings we love making a bonfire in one of the firepits on the beach, cooking up some hot dogs over the fire, and then roasting marshmallows for dessert.
Why they chose this property
This property has been beautifully renovated and is in a great location close to everything!!
What makes this property unique
Walk to beach, Balboa Pier, Newport Harbor, The Historic Ferry, Fun Zone, restaurants and shops. Quiet area of the Peninsula.
