Wonderful location and nice size for a big group. The place was clean and for the most part was very comfortable. The master bedroom bed base collapsed the first night so only one person could sleep there. The dishwasher was also broken. The communication with the rental agency was very good though. Could’ve used more bathroom towels, though!

Beautiful property and location

Wonderful location and beautiful full wall windows to enjoy the view. Sad we couldn’t see the ocean from the home but with how high the tide comes in I see why they need to have the sand so high.

Thank you for the review, Rana! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and the location. We do apologize that the actual ocean was not fully visible during the time of your stay as it does depend on the tide. We hope to host you again in the future!

Great retreat!

This house was in a fabulous location. Walking out the back door onto the beach, and a short walk up the boardwalk to get coffee, made this trip a true California experience. The bedrooms were comfortable and the great room gave us a gathering space for everyone to relax. Easy checkin and communication. Thank you!

Family beach vacation

There were many things delightful about this rental … location, beachfront, complete kitchen, large dining table for whole family, flawless check-in, everything worked etc.The negatives were plates in cabinet were dirty, the ice trays were filled with soap and then water (!), previous tenants hair on a bed, garbage left under the couch, no gate to close the little backyard so preschoolers were contained. Overall a good visit just several things which would’ve made it a great visit.

Only issue was the up stairs guest walking around making noise all night long and the neighbors next door the first night. But over all we had a blast . Would get it again .

Very clean home in excellent location!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This beach front home is just south of the Balboa pier and close walking distance to many venues in Balboa. The patio on ground level is very spacious for eating or lounging amd watching the world walk by. The only very slight negative would be the inability to actually see the ocean, because of the sand dune build up to protect properties from ocean run-off (I think this is why).

Fabulous family vacation

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: We rented both the middle and bottom units. What an amazing time we had. The houses were impeccably clean which is not the usual for beach vacation rentals. The waves at this beach are a shore break so if you have little kiddos be vigilant and right on the waters edge. Newport Beach vacation rentals were awesome to work with. The whole stay was a pleasure. Thanks again NBVR. Annie

The kitchen was perfectly appointed. We used the grill when the weather was favorable and enjoyed people watching all day. In the mornings we rode bikes along the strand. We even had a few local family members drop in and parking was never an issue. The proximity to restaurants, the pier, shopping... everything make this an ideal getaway location. We'll be back!

Most relaxing patio with a great view!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our second year staying at this property and we were so happy once again. The house is not the biggest but it has everything you need to enjoy the beach. The house has 4 bedrooms with comfy beds and 2 bathrooms. Each bedroom does have fans which is nice. The kitchen has everything you need and was stocked with soap and some things. I brought my own Clorox wipes and cleaning products because there was none to keep house clean. They do have a washing machine and dryer on the premise which is a plus. The patio is the main thing we love. So relaxing to listen to music and play games or just enjoy coffee or cocktails. It’s a great spot near the parking lot of you want to invite day guests. Also so near all the restaurants and bars and fun zone!
