So much better than a hotel!
This place is everything it claims to be. Clean, comfortable, great location. We would definitely stay here again. Kathy was great to work with and very responsive to some last minute changes we had. Surprisingly quiet neighborhood.
The unit was very quiet and peaceful. No problem finding parking. Great location for us w/ bikes. Overall very pleasant for the end of June.

Perfect little getaway spot!
We loved our visit! Perfect location to walk everywhere! Clean, adorable, perfect for a getaway. Hotel room feel on the water without all of the hotel business. Loved it! Thank you!
It was enjoyable and close to Balboa Pier. Very clean and comfortable.
I wish it had a toaster for breakfast Bagels, etc.
Definitely would stay in this studio again.
The studio was indeed very cozy, but perfectly comfortable for a couple. The ceiling, tower, and box fans all kept the room cool during a heat wave. The kitchen was really well equipped with what we needed.Literally steps away from the bay and the walking path along the harbor, as well as the beach being a short two block walk with easy and safe street crossings. There were some bikes that we were allowed to borrow to cruise around the island - crossing the ferry with them was so fun!Trent, the property manager with AvantStay was the most helpful and friendly host from the moment I arrived until weeks later when something I left behind was located.Highly recommend this rental for your vacation stay in Newport Beach.

Thank you so much for the lovely review! We’re glad the studio was cozy and comfortable, and that the fans helped keep you cool during the heat wave. It sounds like you really enjoyed the fantastic location and those fun bike rides around the island! Trent and the team will be thrilled to hear your kind words. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another great stay!

Comfort and convenient
This was a perfect place to enjoy Balboa! Clean and very cozy. The only thing nicer than the property was the hospitality we received. I definitely will be returning.
This was perfect for my week in Newport Beach. Very well located close to the waterfront and the beach, well equipped and in a super quiet neighbourhood. Loved being able to walk or ride my bike everywhere. I’ll definitely stay here again and refer friends and family.
Working with Kathy was very easy. The condo was very clean and even had chocolates awaiting us. A very short walk to the beach and condo sits on the bay side. We would highly recommend staying here. Also renting bicycles instead of a car was the way to go!
