Small, slightly outdated, but soooo worth it Next to everything. We didn’t really need a rental car. Spend time on the beach, access anything with a short walk or a phone call. Beach time is a must and is riiiight there. Your back yard IS the delivery dock/back parking lot of a grocery store! Again, worth it. Great crash pad between daily trips to the beach. ##### Caitlin P.

The place is a bit outdated and a few things were broken and the shower had some plumbing issues. They responded to quickly to our requests and the local repair person was really great and knew what he was doing. The beds were comfortable, but the living room furniture was pretty worn. The back porch has a view of the backside of the shopping mall and the delivery trucks were a bit loud. Overall, while it was so fun to be on the balboa peninsula, I’d rather stay somewhere else. ##### Kristine S. Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Terri A. 6 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in, communication #### Nice Location Overall property is nice -- it needs to be noted that to get into the property you must walk all the way to end of the alley to the fence to access the property. It was very dark when we arrived and no lights were on and instructions on how far back to walk was not clear. Also note that there are NOT two queen beds. There is one queen bed and a queen sofa bed (that is not comfortable). Location was good and the place is well stocked with supplies. ##### Terri A. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 This review is from a guest who booked and stayed through a partner site and can't be verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Jessica M. 15 Sept 2024 #### Good location and hot tub This was my first time staying across balboa and I thought it would be an issue crossing the main road but honestly it wasn’t bad. There were plenty of cross walks and people stopped frequently for pedestrians. The location was also steps away from food options and a grocery store which was very convenient. This was also my first time staying somewhere in Newport that had a hot tub and that was amazing- the back patio was really nice and spacious too. Didn’t get a 5 star because it was advertised as 2 parking spaces but there was definitely only one. The hallway bathroom also didn’t have a adequately functioning shower head and the kitchen didn’t have many supplies for cooking anything but extremely basic foods but overall it was a great stay and very clean ##### Jessica M. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### janelle r. 23 Jul 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### In need of repair and updates THE BAD: Everything at this place was maintained just enough to look good in pictures. The bedroom furniture finish was damaged and the owners covered it with drawer liners, rather than getting new furniture. One of the "bedrooms" had no closet at all. The cooking utensils, pots and pans were almost unusable. The bathroom window was broken and rather than fixing it they simply taped a label to the window that read "handle with care." The shower head was broken and shot water out at a 90 degree angle. The living room chair is stained yellow at the armrests and headrest from other visitors body oils. The couch cushions completely compress when sit upon making it impossible to relax and watch TV in the space...THE GOOD: The beds were soft, but comfortable and the linens and towels were clean. The washing machine, dryer and dishwasher worked well. The hot tub was a nice feature and worked as expected. The location was great. It was close enough to the beach that we were able to go back to the unit for bathroom breaks and it is behind a cold stone, pizza restaurant and grocery store. There are bars within walking distance and the pier is about a 20 minute walk from the unit...FINAL IMPRESSION: I would not return to this unit until it has a serious overhaul! ##### janelle r. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shannon S. 29 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Wonderful location. The beach, delicious restaurants and grocery store were within walking distance. The neighborhood felt very safe and the unit was easy to find/access. My only complaint would be that we stayed in the lower unit and the people staying above us were loud. It sounded like they were stomping around, we could hear the water running for their showers and laundry at random times throughout the night. ##### Shannon S.

About a 5 minute walk to the beach. Comfortable beds and very clean. I would definitely stay here again. ##### kelee t.

The size seems much larger than it is listed as. Can’t wait to come back! ##### Michael M.
