There are some inexpensive improvements that can be made. Maybe some blinds in the living room that actually block the sun in the afternoon. It’s also missing some screens so flies were coming in but at first we didn’t know why. The 2nd bathroom needs work, especially the shower.

Our second visit was as great as the first! The panoramic ocean view is a dream, and the house has all the amenities you could ever want. The colors and decor are all perfect for a beach house, rooms are spacious, parking is convenient and access to washer/dryer is so helpful! We love this place and hated to leave!

Our vacation at Ann’s dreamy ocean-view getaway was absolutely wonderful! The views were breathtaking, and her place had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The beds were cozy, and every detail made us feel right at home. We had such a great time, an experience our family will always remember. We would definitely love to stay here again!

Best friends
4 friends that went to high school together 52 years ago. We walked Balboa Island and to the ferry which we took to Catalina Island on a different day. We had so much fun! The beds were really comfortable and so nice to have an extra sink in one of the rooms. We even handled the stairs really well for 72 year old ladies! Beautiful beach view!!

A little underwhelming
Location was wonderful. So is the host family. Unfortunately, the place is a bit rundown. We’re having a hard time opening and closing the windows and the shades were falling apart. Also the beach toys and chairs that were mentioned are all rusty. I didn’t even feel comfortable, touching any of them because it looked quite dangerous. Which that let us down a bit we were really relying on those for our trip. Also taking consideration there is no laundry detergent for the washer and dryer. Maybe I was spoiled with other houses that I’ve rented but there’s always been things like coffee creamer and detergent for us to use, but this house didn’t have those extras. aside from that it was a good house.

Beach stay for Soccer Showcase In Norco
We opted to stay at the beach and drive the 50 minutes to the soccer fields for a college showcase. The drive was EASY. The house was PERFECT! I had my daughter and 2 other girls on the team, there was so much to do and the girls could walk around and explore on their own. Ann was great with communication. We made dinners some nights, the kitchen had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend and would absolutely stay here again!

Perfect Beach Getaway!
Our family of five absolutely loved our stay at Anne's property. The panoramic beach view alone was worth the price! Loved being close to many restaurants as well as the beach, but still found it to be relatively quiet and and peaceful at night. The home was fully stocked and we appreciated the little touches like dimmer switches on the lights and the availability of beach toys. We definitely hope to return!

Wonderful Beach Vacation
This property is right on the beach and very convenient to everything Newport Beach has to offer. We rented bikes, stayed for hours on the beach, and even enjoyed a bonfire right next to the Pacific Ocean. The rental is exactly as described. The kitchen is fully stocked which allowed us to do a few meals and avoid eating every meal out. I highly recommend this rental unit.

Perfect beach location
We came here with our exchange student from Pakistan. This cute beach house has a location that can’t be beat! You are literally across from the ocean and directly on the bike path that goes thru Newport. The views are amazing! The beds were super comfy. We stayed in upstairs unit so no little outside area to hang out in, but it was no problem for us. If you are looking for a fun relaxing Newport beach house, look no further. We would definitely stay again. Much better than a hotel.

Clean accommodations, responsive staff and absolutely beautiful area. The only "problem" was the stairs due to age of guests. That was of my own doing and we chose the upstairs unit. I would definitely stay here again, just in the downstairs unit. Thank you for the fabulous vacation.

In the Heart of Balboa
If you're going to California, you might as well stay at the beach!
Parking, especially for a beach house, wasn't as bad as you might think, but we only had the one mini-van to park.
House was a bit warm our first night, but then we discovered the attic fan, which helped quite a bit.

Fun short stay at the beach
We had a fun time at this very ideal beach location. It was so fun to enjoy the boogie boards and bikes that were offered by the owner - little need for a car :)
This property does not have air so the fans and cooler nighttime weather are very helpful. We were also grateful for the washer/dryer with so many wet towels and bathing suits - bring your own detergent. Thank you Ann for making this such an easy in & out trip!
