Cute cabin with everything you need! I wanted a quiet place to recharge and this place hit the Mark. Adorable character and AWESOME fireplace!!!! I loved it! Ruby house will definitely be a tradition every year. Plenty of space and the garage is very clean and convenient. Close to EVERYTHING even a market near by and the home sits in a great location!

Our stay at the Ruby bungalow was fantastic. We stayed during a holiday and we were especially happy with how well the kitchen was equipped. During the week we were there the property management dropped off even more items for our use as it was a holiday week. Having plenty of space for our family was wonderful. The place was clean and well maintained. Instructions and communication from the management company was excellent and much appreciated. We will be booking this home again soon.

Had a lovely stay at this cozy cottage. Rented for a joint family vacation and company retreat and it worked perfectly on both fronts. Would definitely return.

Everything was perfect. Loved the cottage. Every thing was clean, well equipped, easy to get anywhere up and down the coast and to the Balboa ferry. Sweet. Staff so helpful, any time I emailed, I received a timely response. Loved it all!

This little cottage is in the perfect spot on Balboa island and so so charming! It was clean, cozy and comfortable. We walked everywhere on the island and we loved feeling like 'one of the locals' in the neighborhood. Easy access to Newport, Fashion Island, shopping, restaurants and yet so quiet and quaint. Loved it!

We were looking for a family friendly, affordable cottage for a family get together and this fit the bill. It is cozy. It was clean and the tiny kitchen was well stocked. The garage and laundry facilities were a plus as was the keyless entry. We found street parking as well. The property management people were responsive. The only reason I give it a 4 star rating is that the lighting was very dim so it was difficult to read in the cottage which I love to do on vacation. Because it was Christmas week, I didn't think to call the property manager about this but she indicated that they would have provided better lighting if they had been informed...and that is customer service.

We love Balboa Island!! Such a unique area of Orange county to bring the family. Walking the bayfront and riding bikes on the Ferry to the Beach front is so relaxing. This house is perfect for a small family that enjoys the cottage feel. Prime location on the Island. Newport Beach Vacation Properties is so friendly and makes the check in process so easy with the guest portal and automated system. We want to come back every year!! Thank you for the lovely memories!!
