Great place for a beach getaway

Very clean tidy property with all the amenities you could need. A very short walk to the beach and the boardwalk. We hired bikes and were able to bike to Huntington and Sunset Beaches. Communication with the owner was excellent. Would stay again.

great access to the beach and never had an issue with parking in front (Thank God).Air conditioning was a great benefit but the the units need to be cleaned I guess becasue there is an ever present musty smell or maybe it comes from the water leak issue that is below the unit in the garage??

Great Location

The apartment was perfect for our stay in the Newport/Balboa area. Very clean and new feeling, with great location to beach and marina. Garage is not useable for parking unless you drive a smart car, but was nice to have for storage during our stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Aamazing location and fantastic apartment

The location is awesome - walking distance to the beach and other Balboa spots, including restaurants and coffee shops. The apartment was fully equipped with anything one would need during a holiday visit. The stairs are a bit steep, but other than that, it's perfect.

Great place!

Janet was great and the place was lovely. The only reason for 4/5 was a mix up on heck out times. The check out time in the confirmation email had a typo as 10:59pm, but it was supposed to be 10:59am. We had planned to leave our luggage for the afternoon, but it wasn't a big deal to get out earlier for the next tenants. I would definitely recommend!

Great One Bedroom!

Very nice upstairs unit, super clean, well-stocked, great kitchen, and friendly & attentive hosts. The location is about a mile south of the Baloba pier and is steps away from both the ocean and the harbor. Second story unit had beautiful lighting and views of the harbor. Would stay here again!

Great value for location!

Place is really cute, well maintained and property managers were very nice and responsive. The location is fantastic as its close to everything. The only things to really note is the garage is very small which isn't the end of the world because we just kept our rental bikes in there and parked car on street and the bathroom is really small. Would absolutely stay here again though.
