My wife and I have stayed several places before but none of them had air conditioning and for my stay in July I was happy to find the Tuscan style retreat did. The place was just as advertised, clean, and within walking distance to lots of shops and restaurants. The off street parking is a huge convenience as well. Next time my wife and I visit we will be sure to book. ##### John J. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa P.

Reviewer Comments: For a couple visiting Newport Beach, this has to be one of the best rentals available. this property benefits from its absolute perfect location. You are on the street where the ferry crosses, this gives you access to the peninsula immediately. Rent a bike for your stay and park the car in the provided car port, your done. This location provides a nice scenic walk to get coffee in mornings on Marine street. If you're dying of starvation and don't want to go anywhere, just jump across the street to Todos Santos for great Mexican food or drinks. You can't miss with this place, it was cute, serviced all our needs and more. Just one bug: The TV was not configured for cable as advertised. This was ONLY an issue trying to watch the Super Bowl ending. We watched it on iPads. We didn't turn on the TV the rest of the stay. ##### Dave B.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect location and very convenient to all of my favorite Newport spots. Beat spot to situate yourself for walking the island or simply taking the ferry across the bay and spending the day on the peninsula. Very well appointed. ##### Lori D. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gary S.

The property was comfortable, well appointed and we couldn’t find a better location for Balboa Island. ##### Gary S. Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley R.

The property was very clean, check in was seamless and we loved having a parking spot available. My family and I will definitely be back! ##### Ashley R.

Easy access to freeways when needing to get out and about. Well furnished kitchen and bbq for staying in as well. ##### John W. Stayed 12 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Valerie S.

Equipped with convenient amenities in the kitchen. The roof deck is really nice for morning or evening hang outs.The king mattress could use an upgrade but otherwise this is a great place for two people! ##### Valerie S.

Sep 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy It was but the place is directly below the flight path and flights start early. Very noisy. I don’t recall “stairs” being discussed in the listing. We are over 75 and stairs are a big deal. We managed, but it was challenging. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. ##### Deb B.

Jun 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We visit Newport Beach multiple times a year, so we’ve stayed at quite a few property rentals. This one was by far our favorite location! As a family of four, I would say it was a bit tight, but we were only there to sleep. The pull out sofa bed was perfect for my 2 sons. I would definitely stay there again. The architecture and decor is very Mediterranean, and there is a bit of a learning curve to the bath fixtures. The kitchen had everything we needed for preparing meals, there were plenty of linens and beach towels. The boogie boards were a nice touch, and we appreciated having on site laundry machines. ![Family picture as we strolled the streets of balboa island ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ef42d5ca-7028-4308-a516-ef03d2656f24-1749675836808.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![All of the beautiful greenery ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/36e446c2-cc2f-4b9b-8904-f764164d68e6-1749675837812.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![The Palm tree lined streets ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b302cb11-08bb-4b63-9a03-20089359011e-1749675837533.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Catch the sunset as you stroll the streets of balboa island ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6a7f951e-7731-4d9f-83c3-4a9e8e169f1c-1749675837930.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rita O. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### janet R. Sep 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Lacked items like paper, pen, baggies or saran wrap. Not one piece of information about Balboa at all. Only one card game, one book. It would have been nice to have a small cooler for guest to go to beach. Some windows did not open. It just lacked personality for the guests. It really could use a small table for drinks. We have stayed in three other homes to date and they all had above items that were mentioned.We would not stay again. ##### janet R.

Jun 4, 2025 #### Luxurious stay in perfect Balboa Island Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I had a wonderful 2-week stay here and hope to do it again. The unit has top-of-the-line everything (appliances, decor, bedding...even the windows). Despite being near the hub of activity near the ferry, it is blissfully quiet and secure in this unit (since most auto and pedestrian traffic doesn't go past Agate) The location is perfect - easy to go across to the peninsula, an easy walk to Marine Ave with all the shops and even a really great restaurant (Todos Santos) right across the street. And having a covered parking spot on Balboa Island is a big, almost essential, convenience. ##### Elizabeth T. ### 8/10 Good #### CR & Marti M. May 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Birthday Get away My husband and I took a trip to Balboa Island. This was a perfect location on a great little island and a great place to spend my birthday! Location is perfect! We had one problem, the rooftop deck was unusable as the umbrella was completely broken and it was too sunny without it. It was not possible to be replaced while we were there. Hopefully it has been replaced as of now. ##### CR & Marti M. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jacob G.
