This is a great location with many things to do in walking distance. Parking is really the only problem if you have more than one vehicle but overall great little place.

This property was great! Perfect location for shopping, walking, restaurants. Loved how close we were to the beach. The beach was clean and beautiful. The family had a great time and we will be ready to go back again soon!

Great location! Our family had a great time staying at this condo. Easy steps to the beach, beach playground, fun zone/ferry, Balboa pier & restaurants. Right on the bike path so we could easily ride to the Newport pier area or down to the Wedge. The condo was clean & had everything we needed. Would stay here again!

The place was clean and roomy enough for our party of 8. The extra fans were helpful to cool off! One chair was missing a screw and broke as I sat on it. Otherwise everything was perfect. Very quick walk to the beach. They even had beach chairs to borrow! Would love to stay again!

Cute little place. It’s a two bedroom but slept our family of 8 just fine. (2 adults and 6 kids) and location couldn’t be better. Two minute walk to the beach and family friendly. 10/10 would recommend :)

Noah from Vacasa was terrific. He helped us greatly throughout our stay. He was generous with his time, and a true ambassador for this property.
This is our second one month stay at this property. We love the location, next to a large park and then the sand and Balboa pier. Unit was very clean and quiet. Several fine restaurants are within a short walk.

Really enjoyed our stay here. It was just what we were looking for at that price point. It was a very short walk to the beach and nice food spots while still being nice and quiet at night due to facing away from the pier and walkways (note: this unit does not have a beach view). This unit is above the garage, so you don't have to worry about other guests being above or under you. Was nice to have a close-door garage, a laundry machine, blow dryer, some toiletries, and lots of towels and fans were provided. The bedding was soft as well. My only complaint is that there are some things that could have been in slightly better repair, like some outlets, loose baseboards, as well as maybe black out blinds in the main bedroom and less fluorescent lighting in both bedrooms. But overall, great stay, check in and check out was smooth, and Vacasa responded to any questions I had during our stay. Very helpful and lovely.

Great location. Very convenient to the beach and Balboa Fun Zone area. Having a garage space was also very nice. However, the unit gets unbearably hot. Even with windows and doors open and fans on, it does not cool off much. It was 90° inside when we came home from the beach one day, while outdoor temps were only low 80s. There were also ants everywhere. I’m assuming it’s a regular problem as there was Raid under the counter but they were all over the kitchen counter, floors, everywhere. It felt gross and dirty. Lastly, the unit did not have enough bedding for all beds. The couch was unusable because there wasn’t any bedding left for it.
3.0
Location was excellent; a 2 minute walk to the beach/boardwalk. Unfortunately, the property’s furniture was less than desirable. Couches were stained, bathrooms were not perfectly spotless and it is not sound proofed. This unit is above 3 car garage. In addition, there was contstruction in the driveway area and park which steps away. This information was not disclosed by VRBO or Vacasa (Managing company). Disappointing.

When we first got there everything looked clean. At night I almost got in bed with the lights off, but I’m terrified of spiders so I turned on the light and pulled back the covers. What I found was way worse than a spider - the sheets were covered in dog hair, human hair, crumbs and dirt. I took a video and everyone I show is disgusted. It wasn’t a few hairs, it looked like a teenager and a dog had lived in that bed for a month without being washed. I was exhausted so I thought I would sleep on top of the bed and use the spare comforter in the closet. I get it down and it is filthy. It’s covered in dirt and period blood. I ended up sleeping with beach towels. I was freezing all night long. The next morning I texted the number that Seabreeze says to call or text to say that I need clean bedding. I still have not gotten a response on the text thread several days and texts later. I finally called the number and spoke to someone that assured me that I would be hearing from the property manager and that I would get new bedding. Five hours later someone came to change the sheets. Property manager never called, so I called again the next day and once again was assured the property manager would call me. That was yesterday. Still no call. If you decide to stay here, make sure to check the sheets when you get there.

Only a few steps to the boardwalk and beach, this 2 bedroom (Queen) 2 bath apartment is clean and tidy and very comfortable. It’s in a great location for spending time on the beach, the boardwalk, taking the ferry to Balboa Island, the wedge, or just enjoying the Newport Beach area. It’s also right next to the Balboa Pier so we ate at Ruby’s Diner for breakfast twice. Really fun diner with classic diner fare. The apartment owner was great to work with and we enjoyed our stay very much. The only improvement I would suggest is a rug inside the door for taking off shoes and a couple of throw blankets on the couches for watching TV on chilly nights. These aren’t necessities (the apartment is well stocked with necessities), but would be nice to have.

We had a great time here and the location was perfect! Everything was clean as well. The only problem we had was that the garage key pad wouldn't open the garage so we would have to go around to the side door to open it.
Thank you, we really enjoyed our stay!

Unit was clean and roomy. Upstairs unit with 14 steep steps. My 94 year old mom had to be carried in a wheel chair. Above garage so garage opening and closing at all hours.

This house is in a great location. Easy access to the beach. Has a garage for parking, which was nice. This place had everything we need but wasn’t very well stocked with soap or toiletries. We stayed a week and had to go to the store after 3 day to get more soap and toilet paper.

Wonderful location for shopping,dining and fun. Short walk to the beach with a lovely park close by for friends and family gatherings. Plenty of public parking.

This place was perfect in terms of location. A few minutes walking to the beach. And lots of cute shops near by and places to eat. The condo was simple. Shared laundry room. 2 washers and 2 dryers, and a dishwasher. The parking spot is extremely small. I do not recommend if you have an SUV. Street parking is hard to find. There is meter parking with park mobile. The door handles are the long type, so if you have toddlers they are very easy to open. Overall we had a great time and would stay again. The beds by the way were extremely comfortable.

Walking distance to food and fun! The unit is clean and worked well for what we needed. We did not spend anytime indoors other than sleeping. This unit has NO view of the ocean, it is located on the back side of the unit and does not have a balcony but you walk down the stairs and look left the boardwalk and ocean is right there. We could not get the garage door to open and called Vacasa and they said they would would have the onsite manager get a hold of us to fix it. Never called or showed up so we had to pay for parking for our entire stay. The area is so nice would definitely stay again!

Great family trip
We loved staying here! Clean, great location. Beds were comfortable enough. No AC and no ceiling fans in the bedrooms so beware if you are staying there in above 80 temps. There is a parking spot in a garage but other neighbors kept illegally parking in the alley, making it impossible for us to get in and out- and there is nothing you can do about it. So that was the biggest frustration. Otherwise it was great!

Condo has been painted and updated. Condo is above three car garage and 50 feet from the boardwalk. Beyond the boardwalk is a soccer field of grass and then the sand. Very short walk to the Balboa pier, and shops, restaurants. Quiet neighborhood. Would definately stay here again.

Location was perfect
We rented out unit A and C for our family reunion. Both units were perfect to be able to spend time with everyone on the front patio was great. Having large grass area in front of the hame was perfect for the kids to play and still only steps away from the beach.

Great location, but the property needs some upgrades. Overall pretty filthy. Junk piled up in our garage spot had to be moved, couches were stained and smelly, not even a fitted sheet on the mattress. But the beach was nice.
