Location, View and Comfort!

Excellent location with close proximity to commercial portion of the island. HOWEVER, the BEST part of this home is the VIEW of the bay with Sunrise and Sunsets to enjoy! Only downside was the age of the structure which causes most of the windows, doors and plumbing to reflect the same....

This was a family vacation. Every member of our family commented on how livable the house was, the fact that we could all be together and play games conversation, or find a place of privacy if we needed to. We love the location on the boardwalk with the dock and the beach. We each left our rooms and the fact that mom could be downstairs in her own bedroom and have her own bathroom and not have to climb stairs. It was easy to check in and everything was spotless. All the necessary spices were available so we could make interesting meals and the kitchen was a nice size so the whole family could congregate and talk while cooking. The quick market is just 3 doors down and the shops are wonderful as well as are the restaurants. Use the fire station to take a quick blood pressure after equipment brought on our vacation seem to be malfunctioning. What a nice Home and community. The neighbors are wonderful and even the locals who walk by on the boardwalk in the morning say good morning and sometimes stop to chat. Love that it's dog friendly as we could pet others dogs when we were missing our own at home. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Thank you for the wonderful review of 1400 S BFR _BRITT! We're so glad the layout worked well for your family — plenty of space to gather and private areas, and that the main-floor bedroom and bath made things easier for mom. It’s great to hear the boardwalk, dock, beach, spotless cleanliness, well-stocked kitchen, nearby market, shops and restaurants, and friendly neighbors all added to a relaxing stay. We're happy the dog-friendly setting helped when you were missing your own pet. We’d love to welcome you back on your next visit.

The place is so big you can get lost in it. The view from upstairs living area is to die for and you cannot ask for a better location. We all decided that we would like to come back when we are not so busy and simply hang out at the house, enjoy the view,and basically not move.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at 1400 S Bayfront was everything our family needed. There is a great room for kids and family along with a more plush separate living room when you need some quiet time. We rented bikes and SUP boards for the week, which were great on the bay side. Kitchen was stocked with all needed dishes and appliances. But the best of the week was hanging on the porch watching the young kids play in the sand. Thanks for a wonderful family vacation.

We also have extended family who rent homes on the island so it turns out to be a big family reunion..This rental was the nicest that we have stayed in. The location was perfect and the house was fantastic. The owner was there when we arrived and was very helpful in getting us settled. She also had great stories about the house.. The rental agency was also very professional and quick to respond to problems that we encountered.The house was very well equipped and a joy to stay in. Hopefully, we can return someday..

We called the property management company, and they weren't helpful. Told us to store in garage. Not fun with diapers!

A family gathering to remember.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have lived in the Newport Beach area for many years but never stayed on Balboa Island. We chose 1400 S Bayfront for a family 70th bday complete with a sand castle erected on the beach in his honor. The home is very comfortable to include a large well stocked kitchen that accommodates prep, cooking and wine tasting by all. There are enough bedrooms and bathrooms to allow our group to stretch out and relax. The upstairs living room was the BEST view Balboa offers and you won't want to miss the sunset!To say the location of this home is desirable is an understatement. The grocery market was just a block away, we walked to coffee shops and we never drove our car out to dinner. This home is clean, organized and the bedding is lovely. Make this you next vacation rental in the Newport Beach area. 5/5 STARS.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have a big family & this beach house was perfect for us. Everyone had their own bedroom & bathroom & privacy but could come together and play cards games & have our meals together. Very spacious with a gorgeous view over looking the bay. Our grandkids were over joyed to see a seal, dolphin, fish & crabs. We had a tough year with illness & surgeries so this was the perfect place for our family to come together & relax & be together & make some lifetime memories. We will definitely be back. Thank you for making everything so easy for our stay. We appreciate it.
