Home Again

I grew up 15 miles from Newport Beach. The location is outstanding from a local perspective. 36-52 street is where locals go to the beach. It’s not as touristy and if you need food or a bathroom- head “home.” We enjoyed taking the Duffy Boat over to Balboa and grabbing a balboa bar. Judy has everything you need to hang out at the beach- towels and chais. The bikes were great for exploring. We didn’t paddle board in the harbor but there were many others enjoying it! We felt at home and appreciated the great location and welcoming hosts!

Felt welcome from the first email contact and the hosts were absolutely lovely... brought the kids fresh fruit and took us for a boat ride to show us around before we went out ourselves ( at our request). Accommodations were great and location can't be beat. Highly recommend.

Judy welcomed us in person with full access to patio, bikes, kayaks & Duffy Boat… and birthday cupcakes for my husband. Accommodations are excellent & the Duffy boat scenic cruising throughout Balboa was a high point. You can park the Duffy in public areas & many shopping districts have free boat parking as well. Judy baked my husband a bday cake on day 2 - never have had a more hospitable & friendly host experience. Walking distance to restaurants, shops & beaches. There is so much to do, even our teenagers loved it & never once reported being bored (huge victory!). We look forward to future visits & Balboa / Newport get-a-ways!

ANOTHER GREAT STAY WITH JUDI AND NUEL

This property has become a favorite of ours for many reasons when we visit Southern California. Judi and Nuel are the most amazing hosts. We had a larger group and entertained a bit more than normal, and I was concerned that we might be a bother for Judi and Nuel, who are on-site, but they kept insisting that as long as we were having fun, they were happy. They really do their best to host and ensure YOU are making the most of your stay. The upstairs unit is perfect for a smaller group to stay and enjoy the area, which is also perfect both because it is a nice quiet location at the back of the bay, but also because of the restaurant and conveniences within walking distance including the ocean a couple blocks west. The patio, private dock, and duffy are the highlights though. This space and the amenities provided allow anyone to enjoy the unbelievable beauty of Newport and Balboa like someone who owns both a house on the water and a boat to use with it. It's the epitamy of Newport living for a great value. Thanks as always to Judi and Nuel for a great stay. May God continue to bless you and yours.

Best vacation ever!

This was the most magnificent vacation of all time. The stay on the bay was such a bonus, and just a few blocks from the beach. The duffy boat, kayaks, and paddle boards were so much fun! There is a parking spot in front of the garage. And the owners, Nuel and Judi are so incredible

Great harbor/beach stay!

Nice 2bd/1ba upstairs unit setup in a great location on the harbor, 1.5 blocks from the beach, and close to the main PCH/Newport Blvd/Balboa Ave main roads around Newport Beach. Extra amenities like kayaks, SUPs, and electric boat to cruise around the harbor made a fun spot even more enjoyable for the kiddos!!
