The good: it’s a big house. Nice location.
The bad: Very old. Couch was quite disgusting. The set up is not comfortable. There is an obscene amount of cups and wine glasses for drinking and random dish wear. To the point of hoarding. Bring your own seasoning for food, paper towels, toilet paper etc. This is the first VRBO I’ve stayed at that didn’t have these thing so it was odd.
Look, it was fine. It’s not like we were in prison but my recommendation is to find another property or for the price, stay at one of the amazing resorts Newport has to offer

Location and the property were amazing. The inside of the property was much better than I expected from the photos. It is clean and very good condition. The only thing I didn't like has nothing to do with the property only the listing. Based upon the description I read on vrbo I thought the listing was for the entire house. There is also a second floor back unit that is 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom that was rented at the same time. However, it is set back and I didn't even notice the other renter.

We had a fun stay and appreciated the size of this home for our group of 8! The highlights are the location, available parking, the quiet (house is old but built more solid than some on the island), the large master bedroom, the tidy garage that housed our bike rentals and beach equipment, the front patio sitting area for family visits and friendly passerby's, the spacious living and dining room, the water feature in the enclosed courtyard and the well stocked kitchen! We had an easy time checking in and anytime I called beach view realty to make plans for our trip, they were very friendly and helpful. Other than a few little old house quirks, we really enjoyed this house and what it had to offer.

This was exactly what we were looking for. Our mom lives nearby, and loves "walking around the island", so for her decade birthday, kids and grandkids came together to celebrate. The view is extraordinary, and the master suite, remarkable. Some reviews have mentioned the dated furniture, and it would certainly benefit from some updates. Nevertheless,. we loved our stay, and enjoyed some nice surprises like the surround sound of the living room theater. Thank you to a very responsive management company!

At check in - after explaining everything in an email at the time of booking...I received several phone calls, to verify that my mother could check in instead of me. I paid and registered using my first initial and my last name. Some how this person at check in decided that C stood only for a man's name and insisted that the MAN on the list check in. I informed her that of the 5 people staying at the rental we all had first names starting with C and that included the women( and me)...she still insisted that the man come into the rental office and show his ID. absolutely ridiculous.
Then the cable didn't work, the wifi in the neighbor's unit went out and the dishwasher didn't work. All requiring visits from their staff and we had to wait around for that.
But other than that I am hopeful that the owners find new management and keep renting the house its a great location.

We loved everything about this unique property! It was very clean and decorated nicely. The location to the Balboa shops and restaurants was very convenient, just a short walk. The porch is one of the best on the whole island. The house had everything you could need to enjoy your stay. We would love to book this property again.

This place was amazing! Have vacationed on Balboa Island for years, and this was the best house. It has a large outdoor patio and indoor spaces. With Covid 19, it was possible to stay socially distanced inside and outside, and enjoy each others company. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking with a Viking range . The floor to ceiling windows gave a great view from all downstairs rooms. The beach was right in front for fun socializing and watching all the boats nd water sports activity. Daily walks to the main street for cinnamon rolls and Balboa bars were a must! Have rented houses all over the world and this one is a must!

Best birthday present in 90 years
Perfect! Spent 3 glorious days here celebrating my mom’s 90th birthday with my her and my brothers. We spent many summers on balboa as a family When we were young. So coming back brought back so many memories. My mom said it was the best birthday present she has had in 90 years. This home is gorgeous! Close to everything especially nice for someone who is physically limited. Enjoyed the outdoor patio the most. Thank you for sharing!
