Super cute house! Very close to restaurants and stores... you are across the street from a lovely little beach. Unfortunately there is also a public restroom on that beach and it is right across the street from the house. This attracted some interesting beach goers.

Perfect in Every Way

The house is darling - including lots of great design elements - and very comfortable. Everything you need and more is all right there - including a beach across the street. Thank you for providing a home away from home that is welcoming and well cared for. Thanks to the host for making check in and out easy.

Beautiful House-Great Location

I wish we could have stayed longer! Everything was great! The home was clean and comfortable and the location was perfect. Loved the front patio with the heaters. Marina view! The strand and pier was a block away.

Great Beach Location!

This is a great place right by the beach in Newport. Perfect location and view. We were all adults but it would be perfect for families with littles also.

Best Birthday Trip

We came to Cali for our sons 5th birthday trip. It was the best spot for easy access to the beach. Mostly quiet except for our neighbors next door as soon as it got dark. Beach party life so that's OK. Host was very accommodating for our early arrival. We will definitely book again!

Nice stay.

Very clean with modern decorations. Quiet neighborhood with nice outdoor patio area. Location was within walking distance from beaches on bay and sea side. Also close to Newport Pier with shops and restaurants. Some updates are needed for the air conditioner and security locks/bars to leave windows/sliders on ground level cracked for night time air flow. All in all we had a very nice stay and would stay again.

Great location, unusual communication style

Loved the location and the unit was clean and ad advertised. It was also really nice having a garage to avoid worrying about parking. The odd part was the unusual amount and style of communication from the property manager. To their credit, they were responsive and detailed. But the volume of communication was insane... They throw so much info at you, most of which isn't relevant to your unit or stay which made check in and out confusing (hard to figure out where to look and find what you needed to know). And with all that communication, the code they gave us didn't even work. Weird experience overall, but did enjoy our stay.

Great location. Updated interior. Paying for location. So many emails and rules.

Positives: Location of the property is great - literally steps from the Bay and mini-beach and a 2 min walk to the ocean beach, but lots of foot traffic from random people (including homeless near the public bathroom across the street) and easy to see into house. Great amenities. Updated interior. Lots of fans to account for no A/C. TVs are a nice touch except there's literally 4 remote for one TV. Negatives: Check in was 3p but they were still cleaning until after 4p and the floor was still pretty caked in sand. Water pressure of the showers is quite poor. Zero counter space in the bathrooms. Not a lot of natural light filters into the place. The outlets on one of the walls of the kitchen stopped working. We received about 8 emails total during the process of check-in, stay, and check-out, each one a lengthy diatribe essay on what we could and could not do and all of the things we needed to do while staying there and checking out. These are purely rental properties. If you don't want to deal with the pain of owning and maintaining rentals, don't be in that business. FYI - nothing happened while we were there. We aren't loud or partiers. If this property wasn't in Newport Beach, the price would be at least cut in half

Perfect for our needs

The host had all very well set up, even with little extras, like coffee filters and measuring cups that made our stay so easy. It’s a very comfy place in a great area, with a wonderful patio. Only drawback was the public restroom across the street, blocking our marina view and drawing homeless campers. Would definitely stay again, maybe upstairs.

Even tho it was a short visit we had a nice relaxing time in the house and outside. Super close to beach, the boardwalk with all the restaurants and shops. Thank you for providing such a delightful cottage. Will definitely stay here again. Thank you again!🥰

Perfect for young kids

Impeccable home with a fantastic large porch for sitting outside (and de-sanding everyone). So easy to walk across the street with the provided sand toys to the beach or playground — we couldn’t get the kids to go anywhere else! We would absolutely stay here again. One note: we stayed in the winter, and the heater is so loud that it woke the kids up at night, so keep your sound machine turned up.

Exceeded our expectations!

If we could live here we would! It was absolutely wonderful. Everything was better than we expected. Perfect location, literally 10 steps and you are in the sand. We had our children 10 and 3 with us and the park at the beach (right across the street) was perfect for them to play at while my husband and I enjoyed the sunshine. We rented bikes and rode around the island. Great restaurants are close by (make sure you check out the Crab Cooker!). Previous to this we were in Maui at the Fairmont in a villa, we would hands down take this place any day over that. It was wonderful, we will definitely be back!

High Class & Beautiful

We definitely enjoyed our stay. Everything was really nice & looked like it had been recently remodeled. Could have used more shampoo. The proximity to the Lighthouse restaurant was great also. Good place to eat in or take out. Great views of the water & sailboats.

Fabulous VRBO on the Bay!

We so enjoyed our week at Casa Del Balboa #223! Well equipped rental with lovely views of the Bay, and just 2 short blocks to the ocean. Close to a great park to walk our dogs. Wouldn't change a thing.
