Can't beat being on the sand in Balboa Peninsula. We've spent family vacations in Newport for 12 years at another place and this is our new favorite.

Nice place. This may be listed, but we were surprised to have to walk along the side of the house to get to a spiral staircase to get to the unit. Dimnly lit & a little awkward to find.

Thank you for your comments, Chris. While we're glad to hear you found this home to be a nice place, we're sorry that it was awkward to find. The listing does state that it is a rear unit, and the entrance to the home and access to the beach is via the side walkway. We hope that overall you had a great Newport Beach vacation, and we hope to see you again. Kind regards, BVR

Perfect Weekend Getaway

We booked this house very last minute and for our family of 4 it was a perfect spot. It’s about a 15 minute walk in either direction to get to the main hustle and bustle of Newport and/or Balboa. Very clean, easy checkin and out. I would stay again l! Thanks so much!

We definitely felt welcome. Our stay was good and cozy. Everything was clean with basic essentials. Walking distance from the beach was great! But I do recommend a wall AC unit. We had all the windows open and ceiling fans on during the day.

Really enjoy the location and one of the cleanest rentals we’ve ever stayed in.

Only disappointment was the pictures show a balcony which I believe is misleading, no access to it. The rental office said the picture was just to show their rental sign, still believe it’s misleading considering the view of the marina is across the street.

We appreciate Paula's comments about this wonderful and peaceful property. We apologize for any confusion regarding the property's configuration....we did not intend to mislead folks at all. (see note) (NOTE: the street-view photos of the property show the front main house, which is not included in this rear unit's accommodations; the photo is intended to provide the context of its location and for property identification purposes for arriving guests. It is also the location for the side walkway used to access the rear unit's entry stairs and door. There is no bay view from the rear unit. Guests must use side walkway to the front of the property to view or access the bay and bay beach.) This information is also posted on the property's listing description..... Beachview Realty

I had a wonderful time

My family and I had a wonderful time staying 9 days on the Bay side with a gorgeous view of the harbor. Our only issue was a burned out lightbulb that we couldn't reach, which was replaced within hours of our notification. This was our first rental with Beachview but certainly not our last.

Awesome Little Rental with Great Vibes!

Rental was clean, plenty of space for up to 4 people. Location was superb for all beach related activities. Only SMALL complaints I have if you’d even call them complaints is that being at the mercy of street parking was slightly inconvenient but only once or twice (just walk or bike places and save the trouble) and the bed is quite dated and I really believe should be upgraded to a King size. All in all the rest of the experience was superb, so happy we got to stay there!

It was our pleasure hosting you, Justin! Thank you for the kind words and feedback. For folks looking to book, please note that this apartment does not include parking, which can be tricky to find when staying on the peninsula during the summer months. Our recommendation is the same as Justin's: park your car and then spend the rest of vacation on foot or bike (there's tons of things to do, eat, and see close by your rental!). Thanks in advance for considering these details before booking! Our best, Beachview Realty

Quality Interior. Nicely supplied. Great Value.

This unit is very nice inside feeling more like it is furnished to be someone's nice beach home rather than a rental. Access is from the back alley but the alley is very clean. We parked right by the gate to unload/load and then found street parking nearby. Access to the bay-side beach is a one-minute walk. Access to the ocean-side is just five minutes. We would stay hear again. We we arrived it felt and looked VERY clean inside, certainly good with the pandemic ongoing
