Beach vacation in Newport Beach

As a long time Corona del Mar resident before recently moving away, we knew exactly what we wanted from a summer rental on the Peninsula: location close to the beach, with A/C since the summers do get hot, at least one parking spot, and something nicer than an "original beach cottage". This property was perfect! It was very comfortable for our family of five. The communication with the owner, Michelle, was great and everything was seamless. We would stay at this property again (or at their upstairs rental unit if we have an even larger group).

Good times

First I’d like to say the reviews on this spot are accurate. We enjoyed the place because it was close to everything. It was clean and there was space to hangout on the patio. The property owners were very responsive and gave the codes ahead of our arrival. I could go on and on about how amazing this place is. We would definitely stay again if we are ever in Newport again.

Good location overall good experience

We stayed at this unit for a long weekend in May. The garage parking was great to have. We arrived and everything in the unit was ready to go which was nice. We didn’t need anything else. A few things to note: 1. You will hear almost every footstep of the upstairs neighbors so depending on who is above you it will dictate what you hear. 2. The patio is nice but it is facing north so there is not much sun back there. 3. The photos of this unit show a roof top deck, this unit does not have access to the rooftop deck. I confirmed with the owner before hand so we knew we wouldn’t have access but it’s included in the pictures so a bit misleading. 4. Doing the dishes, taking out the trash, washing beach towels and striping the beds seemed to be a bit much given the cost but we were very prepared and had time to do all of those things for check out. Overall good place for the money and very close to balboa pier and fun zone. Thanks!

The beach house is beautiful and so close to the beach. The house was clean and images on vrbo matched exactly what we got. Restaurants , shops and many fun things to do within walking distance. We loved our stay and Michelle was great at answering questions and making sure we were ok if problems came up. We hope in the future we can return and enjoy the property again.

Perfect location, beautiful home

The house was a perfect fit for our family. The description is spot on. The photos made the rooms look smaller than they were. The master was very spacious and while the other two rooms were small they had good sized closets and plenty of drawers and space for sleeping. It was a quiet neighborhood with minimal noise from the street, especially at night. Having a garage and washer and dryer was a life saver with kids. The home was beautiful inside and out and so close to the beach and park for our toddler to walk to. We didn't even pack diapers most of the time, as it was easier to go home for a change! There were restaurants and coffee shops near by. We took the bikes up to the north side of the peninsula, which seemed much more crowded. So for us the quiet and empty beaches was a major perk of this location. Minus a few decorations, that we just put in a closet until we left, the house was fairly toddler friendly and easy to keep him safe in. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone that is looking for a peaceful retreat!

Lovely house, very well located in Balboa village.

Lovely house, very well located in Balboa village. The beach is a 3 minute walk away. The house is very clean and well decorated, the rooms are large enough to sleep. We were 4 adults and 3 children, this configuration is ideal. In the garage there are boards for the beach, as well as bicycles for walking. The owner is very friendly, she explains well how to do on arrival for the codes of the garage and the house. The only point for me and only for me, is that the mattresses are too soft. We had a nice stay, and the neighbor on the right is very nice too.

Amazing vacation home!

My family had a wonderful time staying at this beach home! The home is very nice, clean, and in a terrific location. The location is perfect for families... quiet, safe, and in walking distance to the beach, bay, restaurants, and lots of other fun activities. The owner, Michelle, provides all the fun things you need to enjoy the beach, like bikes, toys, chairs, etc. She is very professional to work with, and quickly responds to all communication. I would highly recommend this specific home & working with Michelle. We will definitely be returning!

Nothing to write home about

We rent homes in the area about 3-4 times/yr and this 1 was not high on our list of repeats. 3 small bikes for 2 units, no locks for the bikes. Very small kitchen with little to no linens or blankets....very few utensils and small living area. ad is very deceptive and your patio is on a main thoroughfare. to top it all off owner called about a broken gate that was completely rusted out and asked if we had broken it......very unfair and wrong.....also left at 12pm and was rushed out because it waa being rented that same day....very poor customer service!!

Best Family Vacation We Ever Had!

This property is clean and well appointed inside! I was so impressed by all the small things that were available to us with this house, we wanted for nothing. We have stayed in other rental properties along Newport Beach but this was defiantly our favorite by far. You can walk to the beach in minutes and we walked around the Balboa Fun Zone many times just to watch the boats go by in the evening. All and all we had a great time and I would give this property a 10 star review if I could. Cindi Kelley

Fantastic location, wonderful owners, perfect stay!

From start to end, Michelle was so pleasant and wonderful to work with. She made this an easy and more than accommodating experience. We had a wonderful stay with our kids and my mom, the only downside was the time went to quickly, we wanted to stay longer. The location is perfect for families or anyone who enjoys being close to the beach and the bay, close to restaurants and a short bike ride to the store. We stayed in the lower unit and couldn't have been happier with it. We can't wait to come back next summer! Thank you!!

House is great, has everything you need. This is our 2nd time renting here and will be back again ASAP. Don't waste your time looking anywhere else. Best rental on the peninsula.
