Oceanfront condo with panoramic ocean views
This 3 BR / 2 BA condo with panoramic ocean views is a gorgeous upscale designer's dream vacation home featuring hardwood floors, granite counter-tops, stainless steel appliances, and casual beach-style themed furnishings.
The location of this condo is truly in one of the premier spots on the entire Peninsula. You will have spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean, Newport Beach, Catalina Island, and the famous Balboa Pier from the balcony of your 3rd floor vacation property. You are so close to the water you will hear the waves crashing when you go to bed at night and wake up in the morning to a beautiful sunrise. The master bedroom has ocean views from the comfort of your California king-sized bed. The second bedroom features a queen-sized bed and the third bedroom is perfect for your children with 2 bunk beds and a trundle bed. The third bedroom also has a flat-screen TV so guests can connect with their video games. You also have access to a pull out sofa sleeper in the living room for additional family members or guests. *New hard wood flooring was added in the 2 back bedrooms Oct. 2021. Carpet reviews are no longer valid. Mattresses in bunk bed room have been replaced April 2022.
Located near the Balboa Pier, close to the heart of the action, this oceanfront, upper floor condo features a full-kitchen, new front loading washer and dryer inside the condo, wide-screen TVs, DVDs, and WiFi internet access throughout the condo. Linens and towels are provided. There is a private balcony that can be accessed from your master bedroom or living room that overlooks the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island. This condominium is nicely secured behind security gates, includes 2 personal parking spaces, and there is an elevator that will take you up to your top floor with the nicest of views.
The bike path that goes the entire length of the Balboa Peninsula is located directly outside your condo. Take pleasure in fine dining at the many highly-rated restaurants or simply turn on the BBQ and savor your own home-cooked gourmet meal. There's no need to wander too far from home for entertainment, shops, and beach fun. The Balboa Fun Zone is a short walk where you can easily find boat rentals, trips to Catalina, whale watching trips (though during their migration you can often see them from your balcony), charter a fishing trip, or take the kids to the old-fashioned arcade next to the Ferris Wheel.
The famous Balboa Island Ferry departs from the Fun Zone area every 10 minutes and takes you across Newport Bay to Balboa Island in a short 5 minute ferry ride where you will typically see sea lions, paddle boarders, kayaks, and luxury yachts. Sight-see and play during the day, then come home, pour yourself a glass of wine and relax on your private balcony to savor that spectacular ocean sunset. (SLP11688)
The condo is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washer/dryer, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Great rental and great location!
My siblings and I took my mom here to celebrate her 80th birthday. The location was perfect for what we wanted, close to restaurants and easy access to the Balboa Island ferry. The guest portal was easy to use and had all the information we needed. It made the check-in and check-out process a breeze. There was also a lot of communication from the property management company, which I liked. The property was very clean and on the 3rd level of the condo complex, just high enough to get a great view of the ocean and not to hear much of the street level noise. Overall, we had a great time and would consider renting this unit again.

Weekend Getaway
The location of this property is amazing. It is walking distance to Balboa pier and it has an amazing view of the ocean. The condo is big and fit my family of 6 perfectly. The room was clean and and stocked with supplies such as shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, dishwasher soap, laundry soap, trash liners, etc. Check in was easy. The thing that I did not like was the condition of the sofa, pillows and bedding. The cushions on the sofa were deflated. The pillows on the beds were literally flat like pancakes--even if you folded over the pillow, it was flat. The bedding seemed old and there was not enough pillow cases for the pillows.

Ocean views
It took me a few minutes to figure out which gate had the entry box, but once I found it I was able to locate the condo easily. My family was excited to find the elevator. As we traversed up to the rental we found it was warm when we entered the residence, but expected that based on other reviews I read. This was easily remedied by opening the windows and utilizing the many fans which are provided.
The home is decorated in lovely blues and greens and with the exception of a piece of captain crunch cereal under the coffee table, we found the home clean and ready for us. There are an ample amount of extra pillows in the closets along with hangers. With the exception of the bunk room, beds are comfortable. Bunk beds are adequate, the room doesn’t get good ventilation. We kept the bedrooms open which allowed for airflow from the one bedroom to the other.
Monday morning I was awoken (windows were open to allow the ocean sounds and breeze to come waft through) by the not so lovely sounds of the street sweeper and buses. The buses stop regularly throughout the day as the condo is right behind the Balboa municipal parking lot.
Location is wonderful if you like being close to the beach, near volleyball and fire pits , shops, and restaurants. We rented bikes and ate at a couple local places that were recommended-food was great.
We would stay here again, but definitely only during the off season as we’re not fans of crowds.

Disappointed with customer service
***Arrived to no running water in the kitchen.
***Fire alarm randomly went off at 4 am in the morning
Each interaction started as polite and professional but ended in utter frustration. It was all to protect their property after all. But starting from the girl who answers the phones in the office, the guy who owned the unit (pretending to be just a property manager), to the un responsive after-hours line, not one of them excepted responsibility for what we experienced in their property. None showed any concern or demonstrated any sense of urgency to a potential plumbing issue that could have resulted in water damage, or a fire alarm going off at 4 am in the morning. I guess if they don’t care about their own property, why would I think they would care about their customer?
They comped us one night (less cleaning fee), which did not cover our cost for dinner and breakfast the next morning for a family with 6 adults, and not a word for the inconvenience. The 1 star is for the location and the maintenance guy that was very nice. I waited until we received the credit before posting this, but this place was not worth the aggravation. We’ll find somewhere else when we come back to visit again.
