Wonderful location, great amenities. Plenty of towels both bath and beach. Clean place!

We had a great time. Property location was great and we had an amazing time. Property manager was very responsive and the entire renting process went smooth.

Pro’s The second floor stay was nice with beach view. Great location near Balboa island and Fun zone and ocean rental activities. Cons Refrigerator/freezer is broken minimal toilet paper and paper towels for a party of 7. No hot water in kitchen no dish washing soap Blinds in bedroom are broken. So light at night came into room. And most importantly it was hot and humid and air conditioning did not work.

View is nice of grass, sand and sea, except for construction to your right.

I would stay here again but there are some things you should know. We stayed here for a week and really enjoyed the rental. Here is what you should know…rental was clean the kitchen has everything you need. BBQ worked great and was a good option for dinner one night. I found the beds very comfortable. The garage was a great option if you only have one car. I felt secure closing the garage door. Washer and dryer worked great. The view from the balcony was great and we sat out there often to people watch. A few others things…we did find a bad stain on our sheets which was out of character for how the rest of the rental looked. Window coverings need an upgrade. In one room a slat was missing giving a clear view to anyone that happened by. Lots of ambient light coming through at night which I disliked. Also, the walls are very thin between rooms and units. Unit A was occupied by at least eight teenage boys and we could hear every word and they were loud. To their credit things got quiet at 10pm. As mentioned in other reviews the stairs are challenging even to manage. If you are not steady I would recommend a unit on the first floor. A few things about the area. The waves at the beach closest to the unit are not swimable. Waves come up quickly and crash immediately. Waves further north near Newport pier are better for recreation. Lots of great stores and food places around. Take the ferry over to Balboa island and see the shops and get a frozen banana, it’s walkable.

We enjoyed our stay at this property and would highly recommend. Aside from the views, ocean proximity, quiet location, and the loveliness of the unit, it is only couple of minute walk to the main street. We would happily stay again in this unit. There are two things of note for those considering this property: 1) there are stairs, so keep that in mind when packing a heavy suitcase - you will get your cardio in lugging it up; and, 2) the garage parking is a bit tight, particularly if you have a minivan and the people in the other unit park crooked - recommend smaller vehicles. Other than that, perfection.

Great view. You can hear the crashing of the waves. Beach is close and wasn’t over crowded. Convenient to a number of restaurants

The cleaning agency didn’t provide sufficient toilet paper. One bathroom had none. We had to go out and purchase some on our own. Also, the air conditioning thermostat doesn’t work well. We called and the management company said, “the unit doesn’t show that it has an air conditioning unit listed”. It was terrible sleeping at night all sweaty.
