Spring Break Trip

I took my teenage daughter and her friend to Newport for a few days of Spring Break and we really enjoyed the property. It was clean and comfortable. The location is incredible - right in the middle of everything and a quick walk to the beach and restaurants!

Awesome! Central location, nicely appointed

This place was great, centrally located in the heart of Balboa Peninsula. A block away from the beach and restaurants, with a garage full of bikes and other beach gear. The house is really well appointed to make your vacation a special adventure. I would definitely recommend staying here. Denise, the house manager was very responsive. Last, be sure to visit Great Mex restaurant for some of the best tacos.

Newport getaway

Loved the decor and location of this well-appointed beach getaway. We also chose this particular listing for the desk alcove so members of our family could “work from home” while others explored the area. We will have to come back as there were many amenities that we didn’t even get a chance to use, such as the outdoor barbecue and patio.

Incredible in every aspect!

This is where you want to stay! 1block from the beach and 3 blocks from the ferry to Balboa Island! The home is beautiful and has everything you need! Beds are comfortable, kitchen is well appointed, and the front room relaxing. We loved using the bikes to ride on the boardwalk and to the fun zone and used the beach chairs to sit and enjoy the sun and ocean! This place is simply wonderful!!

A great property in a convenient location

We had a great time staying at this Balboa Peninsula property. The check in process was smooth with a representative actually showing up to show us around the place and to answer questions. Nice outside furniture available to enjoy morning coffee. Close to the ferry that goes to Balboa Island, as well as a number of local restaurants.

Great weekend getaway

We loved our stay at the property with our family of 7. The home is clean, well organized, has a well-equipped kitchen, and very comfortable beds. Beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, and beach games are all provided. The outdoor patio is a great extension of the space and so pleasant to spend time on. The location near Balboa Fun Zone is fantastic, as it is close to shops, markets, and restaurants. I highly recommend staying here!

Balboa Family Get Together

The Balboa Peninsula property was exactly as listed. It was clean, beautifully decorated and close to a lot of amenities. It is just a couple of blocks from the beach and boardwalk, Fun Zone and the Ferry to Balboa Island, a must do! We rented it for a family birthday and Fathers Day weekend and it was perfect for 5 adults. Definitely would stay again and highly recommend it!

Perfect Getaway

The house is immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. Denise, the manager, welcomed us ( we stayed twice within a month bc it was so awesome) and was always available whenever we needed anything. There are 6 bikes to use and it’s super close to the Balboa Fun Zone, the ferry, and the pier. So much fun to cruise around the beautiful area! We’ll definitely be back!

Beach Getaway

The property was cute, and our family enjoyed our stay. Having A/C was a huge plus. Property manager was very easy to contact and communicate with both before our stay and throughout. There aren’t a ton of restaurants within walking distance which did make it a little more challenging for our family, but we made it work.

Perfect Location and House!

We loved our stay at this property! We had 6 girls here for a birthday weekend and it was so clean, so spacious, had everything you need for a fun weekend, parking was more than enough, gorgeous patio/balcony, and location was close to everything! The whole process was so simple and the owner was easy to contact if we needed anything. 10/10 would stay here again. Our friend is also thinking about renting it for her family. Could not recommend it enough!

Family holiday from Australia

We had a fantastic stay at Balboa Peninsula Retreat. The property was spacious & immaculately clean & in a brilliant location with an easy 1 min walk to the beach. The area was very quiet & we were able to quickly recover from our jet lag as the beds are the most comfortable I’ve slept in. We really appreciated Gila & Denise’s generosity in providing an earlier arrival. They were both very responsive to our messages all our expectations were met throughout our stay. Would highly recommend booking your next Newport Beach stay here. We loved it.

About the host

My family and I have owned and managed vacation rentals since 2003. We own properties in the places we love to visit most - Laguna Beach, CA, Balboa Peninsula, CA, Wailea Beach, Maui, and Mammoth Mountain, CA. For more information about our properties please visit BeachandSnowRentals.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this home because I love the beach, the water activities close by, and the small town feel of Balboa Village. I love to ride my bike on the beach path, and there are bikes available at the house for guests to use. Duffy boat rentals, SUP, kayaking, surfing and fishing are all easily accessible from this home. Restaurants, bars and shopping are an easy walk.
