The property was just as described. It was clean, comfortable and in a great location. Owner's rep met us at the property to review everything we needed to know. The parking is quite tight and a very large truck was parked in the driveway and it made it difficult for us to navigate getting into & out of the garage. We really thought they (2nd floor occupants) should have been directed to park elsewhere but we made it work.

The place is nice, especially for the price, but if you are staying in the downstairs portion, it is very noisy because of the additional unit above. This also is a very "corporate-run" listing and not like dealing with a single owner. You will have to sign lots of forms and wait an unreasonable time for your security deposit to be returned.

About the host

Hosted by Beach and Snow Rentals

Host profile image
We purchased this property to have a fun beach property to enjoy. There are so many ways to enjoy the Balboa Peninsula including lounging on the beach, rollerblading or biking on the boardwalk, SUP, jet skiing, or renting a Duffy Boat, Kayak or Paddleboard. In the evenings we love making a bonfire in one of the firepits on the beach, cooking up some hot dogs over the fire, and then roasting marshmallows for dessert.

Why they chose this property

This property has been beautifully renovated and is in a great location close to everything!!

What makes this property unique

Walk to beach, Balboa Pier, Newport Harbor, The Historic Ferry, Fun Zone, restaurants and shops. Quiet area of the Peninsula.
