Place is really cute, well maintained and property managers were very nice and responsive. The location is fantastic as its close to everything. The only things to really note is the garage is very small which isn't the end of the world because we just kept our rental bikes in there and parked car on street and the bathroom is really small. Would absolutely stay here again though. ##### Rich F.

This place was nice and tidy. The steps up are a bit steep, but it wasn’t bad for us in our 30s. You definitely need to have a tiny car to be able to park in the garage, parking in the nearby neighborhood was way to find every night, for us. Communication with the host was timely as well :) ##### Jessica R. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Pamela G. 1 Sept 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication #### Pay for Parking We selected this property because of the centralized location to events we were attending during our stay. We were unaware of the pay for parking on the streets in the neighborhood between the hours of 8am to 6pm. ##### Pamela G.

Can’t beat the location, just 2 short blocks to the beach boardwalk. There is so much natural light and really cute California decor. The place is really comfy, great bed and couches. And the kitchen was stocked with everything needed to do some good cooking. Definitely note that the garage is for a small car only…I had a crossover and couldn’t fit. Street parking is easy enough to come by during the week but was difficult on the weekend. That is the only draw back but is the case for most places in this area. Will stay again! ##### Ashley O.

If you don’t like stairs and are looking for an ocean view, it won’t be the right spot for you. However, if you are like me and want a comfortable and clean home base to return to after daily outings, it is perfect. This one-bedroom apartment is nicely decorated and the sofa area is comfy and spacious, the bed is very comfortable, and the kitchen is well equipped with whatever you may need. There were lots of back up towels, including beach towels. The garage parking is very small so I recommend parking on the street. My stay was in October so there was no problem finding a space very near the apartment. The beach is right across the street and the apartment is perfectly located for walking to either the Newport Pier or to the Balboa Pier and Fun Zone. Approx. 3/4 mi-1 mi. There are lots of good places to eat, plenty of bakeries and bars. Overall a great stay and I will definitely look to stay here again next year. ##### Verna S.

Very clean and new feeling, with great location to beach and marina. Garage is not useable for parking unless you drive a smart car, but was nice to have for storage during our stay. Would definitely stay here again. ##### Zachary P.

Very nice upstairs unit, super clean, well-stocked, great kitchen, and friendly & attentive hosts. The location is about a mile south of the Baloba pier and is steps away from both the ocean and the harbor. Second story unit had beautiful lighting and views of the harbor. Would stay here again! ##### Laura W. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ---
