Great location, close to the fun zone and balboa pier. Owner was really easy to work with. Plenty of beach chairs/umbrellas. House was clean. We enjoyed going to Cruisers for dinner and Lombardy’s for lunch. My family had a wonderful stay!

Our group had an absolutely wonderful stay at Shauntelle’s beach house! She was an incredible host from start to finish. Her communication was prompt, friendly, and thoughtful, and she made the entire check-in and walkthrough process effortless. She went above and beyond to accommodate our group with sleeping arrangements, parking, and every little detail to make us feel comfortable.The location truly couldn’t have been better. We walked to Dory Deli for breakfast and coffee, enjoyed peaceful mornings on the patio, took walks along the beach, rented bikes, did a workout class at the nearby beach park, grabbed the famous frozen bananas on Balboa Island, and walked to the Balboa Fun Zone for an unforgettable sunset cruise. We barely had to use our cars because everything was within walking or biking distance.The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and stocked with everything we needed. You can truly tell how much care Shauntelle puts into making her guests feel welcome.This was one of the best vacation rentals we’ve stayed in, and we’d happily book again. Thank you, Shauntelle, for helping make our girls’ beach getaway so memorable!

The host and location exceeded all expectations. First, the location: the front door to the home opens to the sounds of ocean waves and a small patio with chairs and a BBQ right along the beachside Newport Balboa walking and biking trail - we loved our morning and evening strolls along the trail with nearby restaurants, shopping and the beach steps from the front door. The home was clean, well furnished and organized with everything we needed. As great as the location was, the host further exceeded expectations. Shauntelle was attentive to ensuring we had everything we needed for the stay and made it a point to talk over the phone in advance to be sure she didn't miss anything. As she learned more about us and our plans, she offered the upstairs space at no additional cost. The upstairs has glorious views of the beach, ocean, pier, and perfect sunsets from the deck overlooking it all. The additional space allowed our big group to spread out comfortably and created additional privacy - it was truly a generous gift that made a wonderful stay even better. I highly recommend this home and host - based on our experience, they will exceed expectations!

This property is conveniently located just steps away from the beach and pier. The property manager, Shauntelle, was very helpful and resourceful. The only downside is you can hear every movement of the tenants on the upper level which can be very frustrating if you have young children that are light sleepers. I recommend bringing ear plugs so you can get some decent sleep.
