We had a wonderful vacation
Very spacious, amazing views, was nice being able to cook for my family right on the water. We would stay here again. We had a wonderful vacation.
Great location, with a ton of space in the main living areas to enjoy the vacation. We didn’t feel crammed in there, even though a lot of houses on balboa island are small. Highly recommend, we will be coming back!
We have been coming for years to Balboa and this house by far had the best outdoor patio with plenty of room and an amazing view! The house is somewhat old but very roomy and had everything we could need!! Loved the location!
We're so delighted to hear it, Maureen! Thank you for your kind review and for being such terrific guests. It was a pleasure hosting you,

Hello Janet! Thank you so much for taking the time to review us and for being the kind of guest that makes hosting a joy. We hope you had a chance to unwind and create many cherished memories!
Excellent location, walkable to everything. Public dock close by for Duffy boat. Our family had a lovely time exploring Balboa Island. The home was spacious and had all the amenities we needed.
This home on the island was spacious, had spectacular views of the Bay and plenty of fabulous rooms for everyone. Plus, easy access to shopping, restaurants and great walks. We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation.

Hello there! We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed your recent stay with us. We hope you fell in love with Newport during your vacation and had the opportunity to unwind and soak in all the beauty. Thank you for taking the time to review us; it was a pleasure hosting you!
The best house to entertain in on the Balboa Island! And the location is AMAZING! The kitchen is STOCKED with anything you could ever need to throw a brunch, lunch, or dinner for a large family or group. There are so many places to sit and gather including TWO outdoor dining tables as well as an indoor one. The views are EPIC and the sunsets are Stunning! The decor has major character, but hasn't been updated in quite some time. Some rugs and furniture have seen better days, for example, not a bad thing necessarily just a real lived-in vibe to be aware of. There's also no A/C- which isn't a big deal at night but during the day it can get a real toasty if you don't open up all the windows.

Thank you for your comments, Brandon! We agree this home is in an amazing location and we're glad you had everything you needed for your family. The views and sunsets from this home are indeed stunning! It was our pleasure hosting your family and we hope to see you again soon.
Great vacation, enjoyed time on the water. Could walk to great restaurants and activities. Home was older and a bit dated but worked out fine. Needs to be a welcome book explaining the operation of the tv. With 4 remotes, it takes some trial and error to get it going. Thank goodness for the younger people.

Private prison within its over priced run down smelling establishment. You be lucky if houses vital
Local residents will point out you’re just renters and express. Dirty looks and smashing money verbal commitments

Response from VrboOwner on 25 Mar, 2020
We are trying to figure out exactly what Michael W. is attempting to communicate with his review verbiage!
All we can say about Michael W. and his wife's stay is that, upon their departure, we encountered physical evidence (including overwhelming odors!) of activities that are absolutely contrary to our rental agreement, as well as contrary to the type of respectful, considerate guests that we expect to stay in this beloved Balboa Island home and neighborhood.
The bottom line is that Michael W. and his wife would have been immediately escorted off the property had we known what was happening; Needless to say, they are no longer welcome to return to any of our vacation homes.
It is no wonder that the neighbors in the surrounding community were not hospitable to them. We are now having to speak with neighbors to assure them that these people do not represent our caliber of vacationing guests, nor our business!
Furthermore, it is upsetting that Michael W. has chosen to deflect his bad behavior by sabotaging this beautiful and classic bay front property by posting this nonsensical review. In addition, it is terribly hurtful to the upstanding property owners, who have worked so hard to prepare and share their long-time family home.
