The house is small, but it was clean and just enough room for our family vacation. The location is amazing. The neighborhood is like a Hallmark movie. We had the best time and will be back soon.

This place was great and right in the middle of everything you’d hope to be around in Newport Beach. The neighborhood is very quiet, so something to keep in mind depending on your plans. Overall, would highly recommend.

We loved this rental! It was so cute and totally worked for us. It's how the homes on Balboa were when I was growing up, so it's exactly what we were looking for. Super cute, clean, and quiet. Close to the ferry and totally decent parking.

Reply: Thank you so much for the review, Heather! We're so glad you loved the place & that it brought back some memories! We hope to host you again!

This is a perfect beach cottage for a small family. The three kids loved the triple bunkbeds! We love the island and enjoyed our stay. This cottage has everything you need to be comfortable and happy. Parking on the street was not a problem - there was always space near the cottage. This location is great,.
Being near the ferry made it easy to take a little excursion across the bay to the "big" beach. We love Balboa - thank you!

Reply: Thank you for the lovely review, Cynthia! We are so glad that you had an enjoyable stay and we hope to host you again when you return to Balboa!
