It is a great location with access to Balboa and Newport. It is right in between the bay and the coastline. Fair warning the interior doors are not solid so if you need quiet for littles to nap this may not be the place for you. The attached patio is nice to sit and enjoy the gorgeous weather. ##### Kelly B. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stergeos D. Aug 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beach Living We have been visiting the Balboa Peninsula for years and this place is right in the heart of it all. The condo had all of the amenities you need for a pleasant stay. Below are my Pro's and Con's of the condo: Pro 1 Location. Easy access to beach and shopping. We rode bikes and walked everywhere. 2 Garage was small but we were able to store our bikes and scooters safely without having to drag them upstairs. 3 Comfortable bed and sheets. Don't know what type of material the bed linens were but they were soft and comfy. 4 Outside deck was great for morning coffee and cocktails at sunset. Plenty of room to leave all of our beach gear and not have to bring it inside. Con's 1 It's an old bathroom so don't expect a lot of pressure from the shower head. 2 No fan in second bedroom and it gets warm with double bunk beds and limited air flow, bring a fan for that room. 3 We didn't cook much but I would say that the kitchen did not have a lot of appliances. I couldn't find a coffee maker. The check in was effortless and communication with Landlord was great. We would stay here again. ##### Stergeos D.

Very close to playgrounds, the beach on the bay side for little kids and the ocian side for big kids. The set up is nice with two sets of bunk beds in one bedroom and a big bed in the other. The porch and deck were also nice for great outside space. ##### Larry C. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Estefania C.

Sep 19, 2012 #### Perfect Rental We had a wonderful week staying in this unit with our three young children. This unit is bright, sunny, and comfortable. The air conditioning in this unit was a huge plus for us considering this week was unusually hot. The beach is located right across the street which was fabulous. The playground at the school was fun for the kids. We had many pleasant nights eating dinner our on the huge deck right out the front door. We rented all three units in this triplex this week and they were all fantastic and were perfect for our family reunion with every family having their own space. We will definitely be back! ##### Tara W. ### 6/10 Okay #### Beth S. Apr 26, 2018 #### GREAT location, not the best experience Couldn't get into the garage with the code when we arrived, and it wasn't resolved until late in day 2 (of 3). Owners not terribly responsive. Description indicated laundry detergent was included. I searched everywhere, asked owners. Never found soap, and owners never did answer. Chair on porch broke and husband went tumbling. I will go back to Balboa, but will look for a different rental. ##### Beth S. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natalie D.

The bedeooms are huge. Everything was provided, though the boogie boards need to be replaced and there was only one chair and one 1980's lounger that was available for the 6 of us. Very convenient to have a parking garage. Close to restaurants and rentals. Overall I would definately stay again. ##### Cindy W. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### stefania a.

The fridge handle is still taped up But it works fine . ##### stefania a. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Brianna M. Aug 24, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### I Wanted to Like It I want to first say that Jason was fantastic. He was available when needed, and even allowed us to check in early when we arrived sooner than expected. The location of the room is fantastic, however the title of "stunning remodel" I believe is a bit misleading. Television wires were hanging everywhere and were covered by pieces of cloth. The furniture in the room looked dated and worn out. Rust was apparent on the furniture in the kitchen. The fridge door handle was barely hanging on, and the ice maker was broken (creating chunks of ice we had to dig out to use). The bunk beds are very uncomfortable, noisy, and caused me quite a bit of hip and back pain when I slept on it. The closet is full of board games, all with missing pieces and most of them unplayable, as well as an outdoor chest full of beach toys and a basketball that was flat. The Wifi only works in the kitchen and living room, and was not able to connect to the bedrooms or bathroom. I really wanted to love this place for the location, but overall even though the customer service was great, my family won't be back to this room. This room provides very minimal and basic accommodations, as opposed to other rooms we have stayed at in the area. ##### Brianna M.

Apr 24, 2018 #### Nice place to stay if you want to be close to the ocean. Overall it was a nice and clean place. It was a little dated. If you are expecting a Hilton type of room, don't. It is not right on the beach but is only a 2 minute walk to the beach which was nice. There is a school that blocks almost all of the view of the beach but none the less still nice to be close. There are three units to this rental. We had the upstairs one. There was an attached roof deck that was nice to sit on and enjoy the ocean air and we were able to see a glimpse of the beach from there. There were six of us and found that there was plenty of room. It was sort of a balancing act with one bathroom and four females trying to get ready in the morning but overall it was workable. It was nice to have a full kitchen with cooking utensils and pans with some seasonings. The grill also worked well and had gas in it while we were there. The state of the propane is the responsibility of the renters. If you have a large vehicle don't plan on being able to comfortably park in the garage. It is very small and made for a car the size of a small compact. Overall impression is I would go there again. ##### Jason W. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rebecca O. Jan 20, 2018 #### Not the best VRBO experience I've had... This VRBO had some issues. The photos are pretty accurate, but it was not clean and maintained as well as most others I have stayed at over the last 4 years. Carpets in bedroom desperately need shampooing, bed frame on King bed broken, TV did not work the entire time we were there for 4 days (despite a text to the owner). Our car would not fit in the tiny garage, so we had to use street parking. Other small things were missing, like no washcloths with the towels and no soap for the shower. Kitchen was clean and maintained, though. I also found the owners hard to communicate with beforehand. I requested a copy of my contract to understand cancellation and deposit refund policies. But I never received a copy, even after 3 asks. You may want to take the above into consideration before you book. ##### Rebecca O.

Nov 11, 2017 #### Couple things could be better The cleanliness was good, however, I would say it is not kid friendly, we had to move several glass breakable things out of the kids reach and move them back before we left. Also for kids the high top chairs didn't work for our little ones (didn't want them to fall and get hurt). The refrigerator door handle was broken. And in the afternoon/evenings the sun blairs in so brightly through the Arcadia door which is missing half the blinds and through the kitchen window above the sink that has no blinds, it makes cooking very un enjoyable, and it makes the place really warm. Other than that the location was good, an easy walk to the beach, the beach is awesome there, barely any people. The bed was comfortable. The place was clean. It was nice that they have a washer and dryer. Location was good, a lot to eat and grocery stores. We would stay again if those few things changed. ##### Megan R.

Jul 3, 2017 #### I took a group of 15 year old girls to the beach and they had a blast. The property fit us perfectly The location of this property is perfect half way between both piers. It has a wonderful large deck that sits above all other properties so very relaxing. There are a few things that need upgrading but overall we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was well stocked in the kitchen and the beds were very comfortable. We will be back ##### Julia V.

Aug 24, 2016 #### Great location between Newport and Balboa Peir's Our family enjoyed 2 weeks of So Cal sun, fun and sand. We road bikes or walked all over. Cross Balboa Blvd and you are on the beach. Short bike ride to grocery store, restaurants and shopping. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. Having a full kitchen, washer and dryer, a garage and a huge deck made it so easy to settle in and enjoy all Newport has to offer. We loved it and will be renting this home again. Owner was great and super responsive. ##### Jeff S.
