Super cool place. Thought the view would be better, but it was still great! Easy access, good parking. Never had an issue finding parking. Was nice being so close to the beach. Stairs are really steep, so if you have trouble with stairs, use caution.

pleasant stay at this apartment - perfect for two, but could fit a small family. Kitchen very well equipped. Just two blocks from the sand - perfect location for beach activities. Stairs to enter this particular unit, so o.k. for those without accessibility concerns.

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 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.
