Gem on Balboa Island

We stay in the Newport Beach area often and this is definitely one of the best places we booked. Great location near restaurants and shopping! Beautiful unit and great host who doesn’t leave a huge list of “To Do’s” before check out! Will definitely try to book this property again!
