Extended Family Time

My husband, myself, my adult daughter and her two daughters ages 8 and 6 yrs enjoyed three days. The floor plan and location is excellent for our extended family and is in walking distance of grocery store and many restaurants and across a side street to the beach!

First Beach house stay!

This was our first beach house experience and it did not disappoint! If anything it set the bar very high! My family rented this home in celebration of my daughters high school graduation. It was a week to remember! Gorgeous house and beautiful views! Our family and friends that visited all asked for the rental information!

Excellent Location and Beautiful Place

We rented this location for a family holiday and it was just perfect - the only thing that could be difficult is the fact that there is only one parking space. We managed this just fine with a little of moving the extra vehicle around a couple of times so it worked out OK. Great location close to everything - Go and just sit back and enjoy all of the great things this area has to offer. The owner was great to deal with - no problems what-so-ever. So refreshing as the last thing you want is problems on your holiday. I highly recommend this property. I would just like to add that it is a FIVE STAR all the way!

Excellent property and location

We truly enjoyed our stay here. You cannot beat the location. The beach in front of the house is so nice to relax and enjoy the sun and water without the wind and noise of the ocean. If you’re in the mood for the noise and wind though, you have a 5 min walk to the beach. They have EVERYTHING you need on property for the beach and otherwise. Honestly, can’t say enough about this property.

This was a cute cozy stay with a great view minus the homelessness. We had a guy for 4 days sleeping on the beach looking at us like we were inconveniencing him. Hard to pay what we payed and have that liability fished out on fentanyl in front of us for 4 days

Beautiful property overlooking the bay

Great location, beautiful property with everything you need for a carefree stay. Owner provided detailed information for local dining and activities. Parking was a challenge for guests but thats to be expected during the summertime. Our trip occurred during an unseasonal heatwave and the property only had fans and portable A/C. It was very stifling, so take that into consideration when you book a place at the beach. Overall we had a wonderful stay at this property.

Best on the Beach

We've stayed at Casa de Balboa before and will continue to stay there In the future. It's immaculately kept and the nicest place in Newport to rent for a great beach getaway. We spend three days on the beach and three days at local attractions such as Disneyland or the Aquarium of the Pacific (in Longbeach) both times we've been - I would also recommend a great Seafood dinner at the Crab Cooker - only three blocks away. If you've got small children, the beach right out the front door is perfect due to being on the harbor side of the peninsula and has no waves; if you want the big surf, walk less than 60 seconds across the street to the open Pacific. We love this place and Pan ensures that these are the best place in Newport. One last thing, if you love a beautiful sunrise over the harbor - this is the placet stay!

Thanksgiving Vacation

Loved the decor, quality of beds, linens and cleanliness. Beautiful view of the bay and very well appointed! Only complaint: Very noisy street in the am's. City of Newport blows off sidewalks every single day of the week at around 7am. Also the trash on the dock is dumped each morning at 6:30 am with a back up beeping noise. My husband and I enjoyed having the sliding door open at night, but after the early am wake up call, we had to keep it closed :(

Fabulous stay

This property is stunning! The decor is beautiful and interior design thoughtful and well done. My family of five (3 adult sons ages 20-29) were in Newport Beach for a family get together. We enjoyed waking up to the sound of the seagulls and view of the bay from the upstairs balcony. Our extended family has vacationed at Newport Beach many times over the years, and this property is better than every other unit, hands down. The location is ideal. It is a very comfortable home. There were plenty of fans in every room and we did not need to use the portable a/c unit provided. We slept well and enjoyed the relative quiet of the neighborhood. One reviewer commented on the long instruction list, but honestly, it is that attention to detail that keeps this property so attractive and desirable. We hope to visit again!

Absolutely perfect

Due to Covid we had to scrap our vacation to Kauai on short notice and scramble for a more local destination. Having grown up in the area, I thought taking the family to Newport would at least give us some sun and fun, but we had no expectations that it would be as nice as what we had planned for Kauai. But wow were we surprised at how awesome this property and location was. We're a family of 5 with three tweens. The two boys shared a room and my daughter the other room. The layout and space were great and we never felt cramped. The place itself is stunning. Super clean, top of the line appliances, comfortable furniture, a balcony you can spend hours on, plenty of board games including a full poker set, and a view of the water. In addition, the property had everything we needed including new beach chairs, umbrella, sand toys, plenty of beach towels, soaps, shampoos, etc. It was one of our only VRBO experiences where we didn't need to run to the store to buy essentials and the whole experience made it so that we all treated the place with care like our own home. The location is also unbelievable - literally steps from the bay where the local shop will deliver kayaks or paddle boards. And the nice thing is the bay has showers which are steps from the property entrance so you can rinse all the sand off of everything before coming home. And just in case, there's a hose in the side yard to rinse your feet before walking inside. The property is also only two blocks from the beach in case the kids want to catch waves. This is also where there are plenty of dining options and shops. There's a 7 Eleven a block away, a grocery store about a 10 minute block away, and a Ralph's that has a gourmet cheese section that's about a 10 minute drive (this was recommended by the owner and it did not disappoint!). Otherwise, we barely ended up using our car. Finally, Pam was awesome! She was super responsive both leading up to our stay and during our stay. We couldn't find the garage opener and she had someone there with a replacement within 10 minutes (no exaggeration). She also answered emails, calls, and texts promptly as I had a lot of questions given the local situation with Covid. I highly recommend this place!
