This house has an amazing view of the marina, which also has a nice swimming area. The location is fantastic. Next door is a playground and the Marina Park Community Center where you can rent paddle boards and kayaks to use on the marina. The Lighthouse Café is also right there, where we enjoyed lunch (and the view). Before arriving, we didn’t realize how close the marina is to the beach. Across the street is super easy beach access at lifeguard tower 18 - Newport Beach Pier is just two lifeguard towers down. Restaurants were easily walkable. With the exception of one evening, we walked to dinner. One evening we ate at Balboa Pier, which is only an eight minute drive. Also at Balboa Pier is a whale and dolphin boat tour at Davey’s Locker (Groupon) - we didn’t see whales, but we saw seals and tons of dolphins. It was well worth it. They also offer deep sea fishing. Huntington Beach Pier is only a 15 min drive. Twice we went very early morning to watch the surfers which was lots of fun; breakfast and stores open early. The only things I’d change would be the availability of beach towels and chairs since this is a beach vacation. They do offer them to rent at an extremely reasonable price, but this is something I’d like to have included. The water pressure in the main bedroom was extremely low, however we didn’t mention this while there so doing so now. Overall, we would absolutely rent this house again. You can’t beat the location and view. We had a wonderful time.

Wonderful family vacation

We loved our week at this bayfront property. The house was very well kept, with a fully stocked kitchen. The proximity to the bay could not have been better. We did hear some construction from the hotel behind the property but nothing that disrupted our day-to-day. I would recommend they add a screen to the slider door to prevent the bugs from coming into the kitchen, but otherwise, the home was perfect - we look forward to returning next year!

Fabulous location, view and surrounding things to do within walking distance. Wonderful to be looking directly over the harbor while the ocean was just a block or two away. The house was recently renovated & had extremely comfortable beds & couches, with a lot of space to move around in. The only slight downside if I had to name something would be that I would have hoped for a more thorough deep clean (bathroom drawers/cupboards were not ‘ready’ to put personal articles in them without a Clorox wipe down. Staff were exceptionally friendly and responsive/helpful.

Can't Beat the Location

This was a very nice rental home in a beautiful part of the Balboa peninsula. Our bayside second floor views were spectacular and we loved watching the boats pass by and the families enjoying the beach. The location couldn't be more perfect, close to the Newport Pier and all is has to offer. The home was very nice with most everything we needed. We were disappointed with the quality of the wifi in the home; many times we were kicked off and the signal strength was low to moderate. We would definitely stay at this location again.
Reply: Thank you for your review and for staying with us! We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay! We do apologize for the spotty WiFi and we will look into this! We hope to host you again!
