Great House

The house was perfect for my family of 4. I loved the clean, modern décor of the house. I would definitely rent this place again. Check in was seamless. The parking spot was wonderful. We had a great experience.

Sweet!

This cottage is clean, and equipped with everything you need. The upstairs is over the bottom unit’s bedrooms and you can hear walking around from the bedrooms below. The washer/dryer is a huge plus but the absolute best thing about this place is a driveway for parking two cars. If you’re not familiar with Balboa Island, you will understand once you get there. Parking is a commodity here in these beach cities!

No surprises

This was an excellent location for our stay in Southern California, and the renovated cottage had everything we expected. No surprises is always good! We would stay here again.

Charming front beach house

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving vacation staying at this charming front beach house on Balboa Island. The location is great, walking distance to coffee & shops. The kitchen is well stocked and it has a nice open layout that works well. It was the perfect spot for our family vacation.

Poor property management

This property is awesome, clean, its been completely renovated and great location. The only negative complaint is the A/C was broken. The owner of the property was at the house when we arrived waiting on the A/C people to show which ended up being a no-show. We contacted the Newport Beach property manager and they refused to help with anything regarding the A/C. The weather was warmer than usual, a window a/c unit would of been reall helpful but nothing was offered. Balboa Island is a frequent vacation spot for us and we will return BUT will not rent from Newport Beach Property. More bath towels are a must!!!!
