I have always wanted to stay on the boardwalk in Newport Beach and this trip didnât disappoint. We loved the location, the porch, the bikes and the large family room. Great experience.
Fantastic place. We loved the location--close to so many places that we walked to. Loved being on the boardwalk watching the passersby. Everything we needed was provided. Lots of beach gear. Very lovely and comfortable home. Our second stay. We hope to come back.
Location, location, location!! Pat has a beautiful place right on the ocean. The place is very well-maintained and has absolutely everything. We were a family of 14 and were accommodated with everything we needed from beach towels, regular towels, bikes, beach, chairs, toys⊠There wasnât one thing missing! Thank you for letting us stay at your wonderful place.
We had a wonderful stayâŠ. This is a beautiful home and was perfect for 14 of us. So many amenities from sand toys, boogie boards, beach chairs, BBQ, beach cruisers, beach towels for all! The kitchen is the nicest VRBO I have been to! Pat has been an awesome host!
Location is the key factor and you wonât find anything else on the oceanfront with the sand in front of you and people watching in full force! All the creature comforts are provided in this house from ample towels to luxury linens. With a fully stocked kitchen and board games galore as well. We will be back!!!!!
Great place right on the becah. Great people watching. Lot's of family activities. House is well stocked with kitchen tools and recreation toys abound.
We rented this beautiful home for the weekend to celebrate our daughterâs 18th birthday and it was a DREAM! The location is great and right near the pier and local shops and restaurants. The home is right on the boardwalk next to the sand, and it is a dream home! We had coffee in the morning and sat outside and watched all the runners and bicyclists passing by., went to the beach during the day and the home has a ton of towels and beach equipment ready to use. Just wake up and walk out your front door and youâre there! The home has a parking garage that fit our two cars just perfectly and it also had bikes and beach chairs inside. The bedrooms were comfy, clean and well decorated and had plenty of amenities. The best part? The AC! So nice to be able to put it on especially during the heat wave. We were able to go to a nice dinner nearby and then come home and have cake and celebrate. The teens ran around outside doing all of their âInstagram worthyâ photos and really enjoyed the sunsets each night. The host was great to communicate with and easy to message. This was the best home to have a group in and we will definitely be back!
Absolutely STUNNING property! Location, Location, Location this is the place! Family time taken to a whole new level enjoying this property. From sitting on the porch and enjoying the California sunset to walking (or riding bikes) along the boardwalk, to taking the ferry to Balboa Island, every moment was a moment we will cherish.
We stayed here over the Labor Day weekend. There were 14 of us. We all had plenty of space to hang out and everyone felt comfortable. There are enough beds for everyone. We really enjoyed sitting outside. We also swam in the ocean just in front of the house. The house is definitely very clean. It has everything we needed, plenty of towels, the kitchen is fully stocked. The host texted me as soon as I arrived, and was always responsive during our stay. We will definitely be back.
The house was a perfect pick for our family of 6 ranging in age from 21 to 78! The location on the beach was amazing and fun. The house was very comfortable and exceptionally clean. We were also impressed at the generous amount of bath towels, beach towels, chairs, umbrellas and toys. The local VBRO property manager was in touch with us soon after we checked in and made it clear that she was available should we need anything.
My family really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend this property. We loved being right on the sand and that we could walk to the fun zone and many area restaurants. We would definitely stay here again.
Fabulous beach-front house and completely equipped with lots of space. We had 3 generations of family, ranging from 6 to 81 and house had great gathering rooms as well as private quiet areas. Perfectly located on Balboa Peninsula with many nearby options but a very quiet home inside. Older, well maintained home with lots of character and well decorated!
This VRBO couldn't have been better for our family. We have no suggestions to improve. The family used all the bikes. We really appreciated the kids toys and being across from the beach as we had twin boys (2 years old) here from Switzerland. The bed in the closet was a nice surprise for the boys. The host was easy to contact. The kitchen was well furnished. Plenty of towels.
One suggestion--if possible don't check in Saturday or Sunday as parking is really tricky. We arrived for 4:00 check in and asked the cleaning lady to move her truck over so we park in the garage. (The garage is roomy for 2 cars.) My California families tell me that they are use to difficult parking. Once they were in the lot, they were fine. Easy the rest of the week.
Thanks again. It was a great stay.
The beach house is oozing with character and charm. From the moment we stepped in there was such a good feeling in the home. We loved the memories we made and the comfort we felt while there. Thank you for an incredible week.
We had a wonderful stay. The home was beautiful, clean, warm and inviting. Location was great, there was something to do for all age groups in our party. It was a much-needed getaway for our family. We stayed 6 wonderful nights. I would definitely recommend this beautiful beach home!
This house is the BEST! Clean, plenty of room and included everything you need for a stay at the beach right down to sand toys for the kiddos. Pat was a wonderful host who checked in with us periodically to make sure we were well taken care of. Our family enjoyed our stay and hated to leave!!!
We appreciated this beach house being one complete house, not separated with a front and back unit. We had a couple of toddlers with us that enjoyed the sand toys. We used the crib and the pack n play provided from the home. The large dining table and living area (with two sofas and two loveseats) were great for family conversations and games. Beds and bedrooms were very comfortable. plenty of bathrooms for our group. We never used the beach cruiser bikes, but there were six on property. There were a few beach chairs, but the two we tried to use were a little broken. We all loved the real hardwood floors in this property. So glad they havenât really been replaced with something cheap. Itâs a beautiful home right on the boardwalk. One thing to note- the sand in front of the home does not have a gradual slope to the ocean. There were two steeper sandy drops to get to the water. Not that big of a deal, but it does not have a gradual transition from the ocean to the sand. Weâre hoping to come again with warmer weather.
We had such a wonderful time at this property and canât wait to return. We stayed here with a few families and all our children. The location couldnât be better and the amenities provided were so convenient to have. From the beach chairs, beach toys and bikes it made our trip so easy and fun with all the kids. Pat was a great host and very easy to communicate with, always quick to respond. I highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a perfect beach vacation!
Perfect beach access. Plenty of rooms for everyone. Easy communication with home owner & so quick to respond to a very minor issue of needing more shower towels. Thx Pat!
This house is in a perfect location on the beach and just close (but not too close) to the Balboa Ferry and the restaurants on the Peninsula. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the house and all the amenities (especially the bikes!). We had a couple of small issues like a missing iron which were resolved within in an hour so could not have asked for more. And oh what a sunset every night!
