Other Important Details:

The house was amazing, clean, stocked with all the necessities, and close to everything we wanted to do during our stay in Balboa and Newport Beach. Good communication with the host and we will definitely stay here again!
Semi annual trip with friends. Location makes it easy to walk to shops, ferry to beach & pier, and local restaurants. Newport Beach Vacations was super about keeping us up to date on responsibilities without it feeling like a burden. They helped make it a better vacation.
