We came back for our second visit to this property (and our third to a Samd and Surf property). We had another lovely trip. The patio of this home is so delightful and the home is perfectly appointed for a beach vacation. Highly recommend both this home and Sand and Surf.

This is the perfect spot to escape for a weekend. Balboa Island is charming and this house is a gem. Great location, very clean and cozy. It seemed everyone on the small island knew each other and were so friendly and welcoming. My friends and I had a wonderful mini vacation and would absolutely stay here again.

Great location near Marine Ave on Balboa Island. Woke up every morning and wandered down Marine Avenue to get coffee (Huskins/Market) and all the breakfast items we desired at the Bakery, Crockers, Dads (even though the house had everything we needed). Missed breakfast at Wilmas - but will have to do that next time! Perfect location to take in all the activities the area offered.
After a leisurely morning on the porch, rented e-bikes and biked all over the Island, CDM, and the Penninsula. Enjoyed a Duffy ride and came back to our perfect porch and enjoyed the sunset and people watching. Enjoyed a hike at Crystal Cove and lunch at the Beach Comber. Only comment would be that the interiors of this home are a little dated - but the cleanliness, quality of supplies, and overall feel, view, and experience compensate for that. Even though we had an issue trying to get into the house initially, Jordan, Tammy, and Miriam were on it very quickly and we were in within 5-10 minutes. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this home, Balboa Island, and the Newport area! Just wish we had more time to eat at all the amazing restaurants and do more activities in the area!

The unit was as expected and comfortable. Everything we needed was available. We certainly appreciated the spices, oils, and incidentals for cooking that were provided. The beds were comfortable (even though I like foam - haha) and the pillow options were adequate. The best part was the location - the access to the walking bath and the town was perfect! just a block away and the little local market was great! Thank the owner for sharing their little space with us - we were there for work but this made it a little vacation!

Everything was perfect...location on the water is superb (yet right around the corner from Marine), lay out of the house was super comfortable (including bedrooms, bathrooms, etc), andl it made for a great spring break vacation with our family. n.b. the beds were the most comfortable beds we've ever had at a vactaion property (which is not always the case!). property manager was

Everything was just wonderful about the stay. Jordan was right there if ever we needed help with anything.
The only complaint, and this will keep us from renting this property again was the bathroom set up.
No fun having the w/d in the second bath, and the master bath was so cramped it made it difficult to consider having two people using it. Only a single towel bar and no hooks for hanging wet towels, pjs etc.

Really good stay. Property as described. Very comfortable beds. Plenty of storage, nice patio over looking the water. Location was great, a short walk to Marine Avenue and the ferry. Handy to have a washer and dryer. Would happily stay again when we are next on the island.

We stay on Balboa Island frequently through the year and love the location of this property. Right on the water with a nice patio, just steps away from the main street (Marine) with all the shops and restaurants. The house was very comfortable and the Property Manager, Jordan, was very responsive to questions. The gas fireplace was wonderful to have, as it was quite chilly the time we were there. Very comfortable beds, living room and outdoor patio area. We will be back!

The location on the bay front can’t be beat. Waking up to water views was magical. The condo is equipped with all the items you can need and had more than enough room for or group of 5. Shops and dinning are within walking distance. We had a wonderful time and hope to return again soon.

We had a wonderful time. Love Balboa, and this house was great! The property manager was very responsive and cheerful. Two small suggestions: The tub/shower in the 2nd bathroom would benefit from a grab bar. More shade (e.g., another umbrella) on the patio would be welcome.

We had 7 people sleeping there. A little tight with just 2 bathrooms. The beach in front of the rental was inaccessible at times due to high tide. No sand to sit on. Good part of this rental is there are no boats moored in front, so great for kids with paddle boards.

Our family has rented this property for two weeks since the early 2000s. We keep coming back because we know that Miriam and her team take that extra step to make sure that the stay exceeds expectations. The house is immaculate when we arrive thanks to the great cleaning service that prepares the property for new renters. Miriam and her team are available if any issues arise and she and her team work to resolve issues quickly and at the convenience of the renters. The furnishings are perfect for the beach, with the emphasis on comfort. There is no better location on Balboa Island. The restaurants, shops, and Bal Bars are all an easy walk away as the house is just steps from Marine Ave. The beach in front is one of the few on the island without any boats moored to lines, so swimming is easy. If cooking is part of your agenda on the island, everything you need is in the kitchen. If activity is high on your priority list or if you want to just be and think deep thoughts, this beachfront property is just what you are looking for. We plan to return.

We've been spending a few days in Newport Beach every summer for many years and this was by far one of our favorite properties we've stayed at. The house is well cared for and had plenty of room for our family. The patio and beach were relaxing and provided fun spaces for our kids to play. The location on the island was great and just a short walk to the ferry to the peninsula. In addition, the host was responsive and provided all the necessary information to ensure our stay was seamless and extremely enjoyable. It was an overall wonderful experience and we're already making plans to return in the future.

We stayed 5 nights in the rental and have too many good things to say about our stay. Everything was perfect. The property management company was incredibly responsive and answered the one question we had within minutes. The rental was clean, comfortable, and well equipped for our stay. Perfect location that is less then 5 minutes from the main street with shops and restaurants. Loved the little beach in front of the rental patio. Have already booked our next stay.

Our stay at this bay front property was great! The house was clean upon arrival with everything we could possibly need. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was stocked with all utensils and the location was spectacular being so close to Main St. We enjoyed daily walks around the island meeting many locals and our kids made many friends with their sand creations from people passing by. I grew up coming to the island and we could not have asked for a better house to pass along the memories to our family. I highly recommend this property and Sand and Surf as a rental company!
