Beachfront vacation rentals in Balboa Island

This place was exactly as advertised. We spent hours sitting outside in the yard relaxing during our stay which is exactly what we'd hoped for. The location was perfect: right near the beach and restaurants but in a quiet community. I'd love to stay here again.

We loved this place! The location was amazing, just minutes from the beach & walkable to great shopping and restaurants. Host was very responsive with any questions we had. We would definitely recommend this property.

Loved the location on the peninsula. We were able to walk to the beach, to restaurants and really enjoyed being able to use the rooftop deck. Beds were super comfortable and the place was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. It was very helpful also to have the garage for our car and e-bikes since parking is such a challenge in that area. Appreciated our host being available for any questions on arrival and throughout our stay. Hope to visit again!

My family and I have an amazing stay here in this beautiful home. Kristi was so quick with responses to any questions. We will definitely be returning.

Not only was the house wonderful, and in the best location, but I’ve never experienced such a kind and accommodating host. Kirk was the best, and his oceanfront house was a dream! It had all the amenities and more. I will definitely be back to this gem!

We had an alternate booking cancel less than 24 hours of arrival so I was in a panic to find something dog friendly. John responded immediately to my booking request and was very helpful. The place ended up being a great location a block from the beach and just a walk to lots of great food. Very clean. Thank you!

The PERFECT place!! Location. Location. Location. Clean. Responsive. Well stocked kitchen. Comfortable beds. It had it all. Parking for 2nd vehicle was a challenge but really not that bad. Neighborhood was super safe and plenty to do and walking distance. Truly amazing in every way. Highly recommend.

Fantastic house in a fantastic location. We stay in Newport often and this is one of the best bang-for-your-buck spots out there!

Absolutely loved staying here and would stay again! The inn is across the street from the beach, so close you can hear the waves from the balcony. Everyone we talked to at the front desk was super helpful and friendly. Parking was in a garage under the inn so it felt very safe. Both the bed and pull out were comfortable and clean. We also loved the huge bathroom! Highly recommend staying here.

amazing view of the ocean walking distance to ohanafest

Jaime and Liz’s Airbnb is a tremendous location and getaway for anybody who enjoys proximity and a view of the Pacific Ocean in Laguna Niguel. Their description is spot-on accurate. They are also wonderful owners and very accommodating. We will definitely return.

Location was great! Villa was beautiful and very comfortable for our family. We will stay here again.

I absolutely loved this Airbnb! The 2 bed, 2 bath setup was perfect. The couches were super comfortable, and the view of the beach from the balcony was stunning. There was plenty to do in the area, yet it still felt peaceful and relaxing. You really can’t beat the location—just minutes from the Long Beach Aquarium and close to everything we needed. Hands down, one of my favorite Airbnbs ever!

Carla is a fantastic host. Property has incredible ocean views.

Nadine's place is full of extra touches, with upgraded bath products and kitchen dishes to well thought-out amenities throughout the house. She was super-responsive and our stay was exactly what we needed as we live nearby and were remodeling our house. The neighborhood is also quiet and friendly. I'd recommend her place to stay!

We had an amazing stay! The resort offered so many activities, beautiful pools, and was just steps from the ocean. Everything was gorgeous, both inside and out. The room was clean, well-stocked, and had everything we needed. Bethany was wonderful — easy to communicate with, very helpful, and always responsive. Any small needs we had were quickly taken care of by the resort staff as well. It was truly a perfect vacation. We would absolutely love to come back!

Nice location !!! easy accesss!

Good location, close to restaurants and shopping. A short walk to the beach. This place was absolutely spotless. VERY CLEAN!! Loved the patio area. Having the garage with washer & dryer was a big convenience. Upon arrival, Patti greeted us & made sure we had everything we needed. Great stay.

We celebrated our son's birthday at this location and it was a blast. So close to all the restaurants and bars and a five minute walk to the sand! We love Newport Beach and you cannot beat this location. We will hopefully visit again soon!

Had a great stay! Perfect location, just one street away from the beach and the pier. Todd was very communicative. There was an issue with the garage during our stay and Todd took care of it very quickly and had clear communication through it all. We had an exceptional experience! Fits 4 people maximum. The two sofa beds unfortunately weren’t very comfy and could’ve used a mattress pad! Luckily, after a day on the beach we were so tired that it didn’t really affect our sleep.

I’m already dreaming of when we can return to this beautiful beach home again! We are Airbnb Luxe hosts ourselves, and I can honestly say that Dana and Kristi completely exceeded my expectations with all of the intricate details of added amenities that they provided. From the welcome Champagne and chocolates, to the beach gear, to the skincare and lip gloss complimentary items, and MORE ugh there was literally nothing that they didn’t think of. The place was immaculate, and both hosts were so responsive and kind! This was one of the best staycations my husband and I could’ve asked for. Our toddler as well as our fur baby were also in heaven. The great attention to detail coupled with the amazing location (3min walk to the beach, Main Street and Pacific City) was enough to have us on Zillow wondering how we could live there forever LOL We miss OC life! They were even able to accommodate a later checkout of so our son could have one last morning beach blast. TEN out of TEN! ⭐️

Scott’s place was perfect for our family - with dogs and a toddler. The place was close to the park for walking the dogs plus a playground for our toddler. The house has ample space inside and out. It was easy to find and it was located on a not busy road, but it was close to the beach and a coffee shop. It was a great stay for Newport Beach!

Spotless, beach home in prime location and a responsive host. Couldn’t ask for a better, more accommodating property/ host. We had a wonderful time & had everything we needed.highly recommend& we will definitely be coming back soon!

I came for work and stayed for the surf. A perfect set up for hitting the local break. There’s even an outdoor shower to clean off after. Kitchen had all the supplies needed. Great home base, definitely recommend
