Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Crystal Cove, Newport Beach

We had a great time on Balboa Island- the place was comfortable and clean, and the host was very easy to communicate with.

Beautiful grounds. Currently renovating several buildings. Walkable to beach but shuttle might be a better bet. No walkable restaurants but convenient to beach towns of Newport and Laguna. Go to Mama D’s while staying. Golf is expensive for what you get in the area, Marriott rounds available at Pelican.

Perfect location walking distance to the beach! Jennifer well informed us throughout the stay. We will be back.

Travis & Trisha were very accommodating and their place was absolutely beautiful! The pool was perfect for our getaway and the beds were extremely comfortable! I would definitely stay here again!

We loved our stay in at the Newport Beach home! The view of the ocean from the patio was spectacular! We spent most of our time sitting on the patio. Beds were comfortable. We had all amenities we needed. The space was cozy, clean and well decorated. We plan to come back in a regular basis!

This cottage is fabulous! Cleanliness, location, decor, linens all 5 star. Highly recommend if you are looking for the quintessential beach cottage steps from Shaw’s Cove and all Laguna Beach has to offer!

We had a great experience. The host was great. Loved the place, beautiful backyard.

Hidden gem right here and I am torn between telling everyone I know about it or keeping it a secret! I loved Laguna before, but staying in Mark’s place has really made me enjoy and love it even more! Staying here and not in a hotel made it feel like home and to be able to walk the neighborhood and walk down to the beach every morning has truly made this an incredible trip! I can’t wait to come back!

Great spot with so many restaurants and coffee spots and the beach within walking distance. The place is cozy and bright — a delightful beach-town studio. There’s definitely some traffic noise (as described) but the white noise machine was perfect at night and we slept soundly. Definitely recommend!

Great stay! There is everything you could possibly need for a beach stay. Pam was so helpful and had lots of good suggestions. The location was perfect. Just a block and a half from the beach and the neighborhood was quiet. Bed was super comfy and the space was perfect. Didn’t use the patio much but that also was a nice addition. Will def be staying again!!

The place is great. We felt very comfortable here. Terry is very accommodating.

Right in between both piers gives you a lot of options just on the balboa peninsula, or just a straight shot to the beach! Really fun stay

We stayed here as a quick getaway with family from out of town. Elizabeth's place was so cute and welcoming. It was a perfect size for us 4 and very spacious. Excellent location, lots of parking, walkable to all the local eateries, and especially the beach and Marina. My sister and niece had the best time here from AZ and would definitely stay here again. I highly recommend Elizabeth's place.

We really enjoyed staying at yet another one of Tracy's wonderful places in CDM. Great location, and beautiful sunlit space. Well-stocked with amenities and spotlessly clean. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

The place has a nice environment and was generally comfortable. Parking was easy, which was a big plus. However, getting in was a bit tricky — you have to enter through the balcony, which was a little complicated. It also takes a few minutes for the hot water to come on in the shower, and the water pressure is just average. I recommend bringing your own shampoo and body wash, as the provided toiletries had a strong, unpleasant smell and didn’t seem to be good quality, so we didn’t use them.

Place was great! Regine was extremely responsive and thoughtful, even when answering questions that were explained within the instructions in the apartment. Location was amazing and we definitely would stay here again.

This place was definitely worth it, walking distance to the beach and the pool made it a favorite for us. Paul provided lots of fun beach accessories for us to use and the condo was clean and had what you needed. The patio is nice to have breakfast on and though the sliding door was really hard to open/close Paul said they were expecting a new one. It was so nice to have a refreshing outdoor space but just a bummer that due to the landscaping project it was a lil bit loud during the daytime when coming back to recoup but that’s kinda out of anyone’s control. Overall we enjoyed our time and would stay again in the future.

This unit within Hamilton Cove has been our best vacation yet. The views from the balcony were stunning. The entire unit felt clean and was very spacious for me and my now wife. The golf kart was a plus - it was a short 5-8 minute ride into downtown. Hosts were responsive. Definitely will be coming back to stay here again!!

"Just Beachy" is a fantastic, absolutely clean accommodation with an exceptional location right on the beach. Everything you need is there...and more. Contact with Lorraine was always "just in time" and provided all the necessary information, and the digital guide also contains everything you need about the entire complex. "Just Beachy" is highly recommended without exception! Thank you, Lorraine, and best regards, Annika & Noël

The place is so peaceful and steps away from the beach. As other reviewers have mentioned, can hear the sound of the waves from the space. Sheryl is awesome and responsive. The apartment itself is so clean and well-equipped.

Tiffany is an incredible host. She is easy to communicate with and was proactive informing you of what to expect, easy instructions both checking in and out, as well as recommendations. She answered any questions I had in a timely matter to. The golf cart is a great addition as well to easily get to Avalon. Bottom line up front everything was very simple so that my girlfriend and I were able to fully enjoy our stay on the island. The villa was beautiful just like the pictures. It was very clean, comfortable, and welcoming. I highly recommend booking with Tiffany at her villa in Hamilton Cove. Just a heads up if you’re going to eat on the balcony don’t leave any food unattended for a second or the birds will swoop it. They’re watching and waiting for an opportunity. Happened to me lol. Thank you again Tiffany for making our trip so much easier to enjoy.

The place was beautiful! There was an amazing view. The place was nice and cozy, the perfect place to relax and soak in the view. The poo and hot tub was also very convenient.

We had a wonderful stay at Rebecca’s beautiful, clean & comfortable place and would stay again! Walking distance to grocery store & great restaurant - Jacks Woodside grill for brunch! Thanks so much!

The place is really nice and super clean to stay. 5 star ⭐️ recommendation!
