We LOVED our stay here. The house was even better than the photos and with 3 families staying together we all had plenty of space and felt right at home. The kids loved the bunk room too! We had the best time being right on the water, being able to walk around the island and easily see the kids playing on the sand. We watched the sunrises with coffee and sunsets with dinner and it was the perfect way to spend my 40th birthday. So thankful to the rental team being so friendly and kind and we can’t wait to come back!

We had a great stay! The place had all the amenities we needed and was super comfortable for our group. The location was perfect—walking distance to everything we wanted to do, which made getting around really easy. We’d definitely stay here again

In a Word, "Fantastic"

This house was ideal for a large family group to gather in celebration of a wedding taking place in Newport Beach. Everything turned out great and the house matched the description.

Beautiful view/location and fun family experience getaway.

Better than expected in most ways. Incredible location with relaxing views of boats passing by. Great for families with wonderful bunk room. Great gathering place with large table in breakfast room and family room was comfortable and spacious. Updated bathrooms and beds were comfortable. Great patios/backyard for both viewing and played games in backyard.
We’d rent here again. Fun experience!

Wonderful Balboa Weekend

My girlfriends and I spent a wonderful weekend in Balboa at this stunning property. In addition to the unbelievable waterfront views, the home is immaculate and so beautifully decorated that it looks straight out of a movie. To our pleasant surprise, the home is also much larger than we anticipated -- everyone had plenty of room to congregate or spread out without feeling cramped. To that end, the home is very well appointed and came with everything we needed (if you enjoy cooking, you will love the kitchen appliances!). The check-in process was smooth and seamless; Julie, the property manager, was wonderful and so friendly -- we had such a great time meeting her! Overall, we have nothing but good things to say about this property and were sad to leave. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to stay here and will most definitely be back!
