Our 4-women group loved this property! Being so close to so many beach amenities like Balboa pier, ferry, and even the frozen banana wrapped up our stay with smiles. Impressed with the cleanliness, well stocked kitchen and bathrooms made our stay comforting. Hoping to stay here again soon.
We had a great time in this rental! It’s the perfect location by the boardwalk and beach. The host was very responsive to all of our questions and the rental was the perfect space for our weekend.
We had an amazing week. Can’t beat the location and the ground floor of the house with patio access had everything we needed! I dreamed of sipping wine on the patio and enjoying the sunrise and sunset with my family and my dream came true. Ann was an exceptional host and was immediately responsive to our requests. We would come back again in a heartbeat!
We loved staying here. Right on the beach. Loved sitting on the front porch. Perfect spot. Loved the location. Beautiful view. Parking for our car. 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms was great. Had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again. Host was extremely helpful.
We had such a great time staying here. Perfect location, near everything we wanted to do. No car needed. There are bars, shopping, bike rentals, the fun zone, all within a five minute walk. The house is right on the boardwalk with a great patio area and comfortable seating for all of us to sit and watch all of the action. The house was well appointed with everything we needed and it was clean and comfortable. Beds were comfortable. There were games and pickles available as well. Fantastic stay!
We had an amazing time staying here. Ann, the property owner, was very responsive to all of our needs! The home was well kept and a perfect location. We would love to come again!
Four siblings reunion--all seniors 79. We have stayed here before and plan to do so again in 2027. Fun patio on the boardwalk--perfect for eating, drinking and people watching!
Perfect location, the most comfortable beds, and Ann went out of her way to help us during a medical interruption of our stay. Definite 10*, and would love to stay again in the future.
This was our second time staying at the property and our family absolutely loves it. Our children ask to go back all the time. The location is perfect and walkable to do many places. The beds are very comfortable and the house has everything you could possibly need!
We had a great time at this house! Very well maintained and it had everything we needed for our stay. I definitely would recommend this property to others!
We love this central location in Newport Beach. We've been coming here for years. The furniture and appliances are kept fresh and in good working order. Ann provides umbrellas, boogie boards, children sand toys and folding chairs, which makes it so convenient because all the goodies that you would want are there. This has been our dream spot for years!
The house was perfectly situated between Balboa and Newport piers. Rode our bikes everywhere all the time. Enjoyed the patio which is right on the boardwalk. Beds were all very comfortable and the linens were 5 star. We had a funny experience when we arrived. It was very windy with heavy rain for days before our arrival. When we pulled up, there was a waterlogged mattress that was being discarded by a neighbor. Ann, our host, was on it immediately. Very prompt response which is not the case in some rentals. Couldn’t be happier. Thank you, Ann.
