The property was exactly as described. We were very happy with the location, and used it as a home base. We walked to Newport Pier several times (approximately 2 miles) along the boardwalk. We often walked to the restaurants and stores on Balboa Island which was very close. There is a great specialty coffee shop on the closest corner from the unit. There is a mini market next to the ferry. The unit was very clean. Having the refrigerator in the unit was extremely convenient. There was a very nice inflatable mattress, beach chairs, and beach towels available. I definitely recommend this rental!

It was an okay stay. Parking not on premises, it’s all street parking. If you’re looking for a spot between 10am-8pm, good luck. Carpet and bedding was dirty and also saw a cockroach on my last night… on the positives host was responsive when asked questions and the location was great!

unit was good. communication with owner was great.

My husband, daughter (1-year-old) and I stayed here and the location was perfect! We walked most everywhere. It was just the right size, and the full-size fridge was a huge plus so we could at least have breakfast on hand. A much better value than a typical hotel room! My only recommendation would be to double up on the pillows, to add additional bathroom linens (we only got 3 small towels and they weren’t always dry by the time we showered again), and to add some bowls to the cabinet (we had to buy some paper ones). Overall it was a great stay and we would come again!

Nothing was given to us concerning our check in or the code to get in the room, I had to call to get this information and then text them again when they did not send it like they said they would. ...Ad states PARKING....LIE...It does not come with parking! We would not have rented without parking (and they know this).There is street parking only and it's impossible on Balboa Island. I told. the management to remove the parking from the Ad but it still there. This is a converted room over the garage. I had to pick up and move garbage in order to get our bags by the overflowing garbage barrels that had not been taken out for who knows how long. When we entered the room the shag rug looked liked like a crime scene it was so dirty and the room had to be a 100 degrees (no windows open/No AC). The refrigerator is 20 years old and leaning to the left. If you are 250 lbs or bigger you will not fit in the bathroom or shower. They left 2 bath towels, 1 hand towel and 2 wash clothes for our week stay. I spoke to the owner and she said she had seen the garbage and had told her management company days earlier about overflowing trash. They did come over and remove the trash. I asked management company if two towels were it for the week and I was told there is a washer/dryer in the garage. They said they would have more towels delivered in the morning...none were delivered, until the following evening an Amazon package was delivered to one of the other units and when we asked if anything was delivered they said a Amazon package came but did not have any name on it which ended up being the towels. I would describe this place as a seedy hotel room on Balboa Island.
