Fabulous beach house!
We had a lovely stay at this beautiful home on Balboa Island. The property manager, Jordan, was responsive to what we needed. Beds and bath were clean, comfy and updated. I would definitely stay here again. It is just a few steps to the beach and there were even beach cruisers for us to ride over on the Newport boardwalk. A perfect place!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Home was very clean, rooms were big, and perfect location on the island. We were walking distance to the ferry and to the island shops. We weren't in the main flow traffic street so nice and quiet throughout the day and night. Perfect location to go to the beach or catch the Catalina flyer to the island and avoid parking lot fees.
