Thank you, Rochelle, for your feedback! We are happy you enjoyed this home. We sincerely apologize you have found issues in the home and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We will continue to work with both our local staff and homeowner to make improvements to this home, and we hope you'll give us a second chance to impress you!
Very clean and comfortable. Check in process was very simple. Parking was a great plus. It was so nice to walk downtown and also be close to drive to all the beautiful beaches.
We loved the home and the entire community here in the Newport Balboa Island. Our stay went extremely well, no complaints at all. The home is great and is very up to date. Would truly recommend!
Nice two-bedroom unit, perfect for 2-4 persons with plenty of common areas for meals and lounging. Centrally located on Balboa Island, short walks to waterfront and shopping / dining areas. We had a great stay!
Far enough from the main commercial street to provide a sense of serenity, but a very easy walk to the shops, restaurants, etc., and an even easier stroll to the water!
Very nice stay in a really lovely location. Beds were comfy and was very nice to have fans provided. Had a hiccup with one small amenity and property/owner amended immediately. Would stay again!

Great little spot!
If you are looking for a place to just park your car for the trip, this is it as everything you'll need for a restful and enjoyable time away can be walked to. If you want to venture out further, the ferry can take you over to the main beach boardwalk and even more things to enjoy.
Such a nicely appointed and spacious condo, on Balboa Island. Loved the easy walkability and the safety. Check in was very easy and the unit was Spotless! Thank you…I hope to return soon!

Whoa Balboa ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
The entire island was absolutely amazing! The houses were impeccable as well as the landscaping! Everyone was so nice and the food was delicious! The ferry to the peninsula was an added bonus!
The property is very cute and well appointed!
It’s close to Marine Avenue and walking distance to the ferry. It was great to have garage parking and a washer/dryer as well. We would stay here again! 😀
This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this property and had a wonderful trip. Great location and makes most places walkable or rideable by bike. Will definitely be staying here again. Only complaint I would have is that beach towels weren’t provided as they had been in the past, but there was plenty of beach equipment to use in the garage.
Amazing location, easy to find, perfect access to all Balboa has to offer. Clean, comfortable and well equipped. It didn’t affect us but Just be aware that Balboa Island is currently installing high bandwidth fibre so there is quite a lot of construction work ongoing on the island with road closures and heavy equipment in most areas. .
This place is super clean & has great light! We loved this location- super close to downtown in one direction, and the ferry in the other direction! Garage is fully stocked with beach chairs/toys, wagon! Plenty of space to park our car or the overnight bikes we rented! Would happily return!
This condo is a great location - easy walk to main street on the island, to the ferry to go over to the peninsula and to the beach (even with kids)! The house had lots of beach toys which the kids really appreciated and couch was comfy for relaxing after a long day playing! The company checked in when we arrived and when I shared that the bathroom wasn’t as clean as I hoped, they were willing to send someone out right away to clean. Having a parking space was an added bonus on a busy holiday weekend!
