As always a great time
Excellent location with close proximity to commercial portion of the island. HOWEVER, the BEST part of this home is the VIEW of the bay with Sunrise and Sunsets to enjoy! Only downside was the age of the structure which causes most of the windows, doors and plumbing to reflect the same....

We enjoy this home so much we have rented it twice, and have it reserved again for late this year! It is large enough for friends and family, provides an amazing view and it is comfortably and beautifully decorated. When we did have issues or problems the property managers responded promptly. We enjoy all that Balboa Island has to offer...great boardwalk and good restaurants.

We recently rented this unit as my family was coming from all over the US to attend my son's wedding. The place is so big you can get lost in it. The view from upstairs living area is to die for and you cannot ask for a better location. We all decided that we would like to come back when we are not so busy and simply hang out at the house, enjoy the view,and basically not move.

Our stay at 1400 S Bayfront was everything our family needed. There is a great room for kids and family along with a more plush separate living room when you need some quiet time. We rented bikes and SUP boards for the week, which were great on the bay side. Kitchen was stocked with all needed dishes and appliances. But the best of the week was hanging on the porch watching the young kids play in the sand. Thanks for a wonderful family vacation.

The property is perfect. It has everything you need and want to relax and enjoy the annual boat parade. From the great location, well stocked kitchen for family dinners, 3 great parking spots, comfortable bedrooms, and the fabulous family rooms upstairs and was the perfect spot for our family holiday gathering. Although you are located on Bayfront and there are people walking by, the property's front patio is slightly elevated so it feels a bit more private than other properties nearby. We look forward to returning in the summer months next time!!

This is a fabulous home in a great location steps from the town. The bedrooms are all very usable, unlike some rentals. The upstairs family room is a great place to relax while enjoying the view with some privacy. Downstairs and the patio are definitely "on display" but everyone who walked by was friendly and polite. It is also worth noting that most people who walk down Marine Ave turn right so this house actually gets much less foot traffic than others on Bay Front. It's well equipped and well maintained, and the management company was very responsive. Five stars!

As a family we have been spending two weeks every summer on Balboa Island. This year was our 18th year. We also have extended family who rent homes on the island so it turns out to be a big family reunion..This rental was the nicest that we have stayed in. The location was perfect and the house was fantastic. The owner was there when we arrived and was very helpful in getting us settled. She also had great stories about the house.. The rental agency was also very professional and quick to respond to problems that we encountered.The house was very well equipped and a joy to stay in. Hopefully, we can return someday..

We have rented houses on Balboa Island for 38 years. This is by far the the best maintained, has a killer view, lovely decor, and very clean.We only had one issue. Previous renters filled the garbage cans, and they weren't emptied for 5 days. We called the property management company, and they weren't helpful. Told us to store in garage. Not fun with diapers!

We were so thankful to find Newport Beach Vacation Properties! Booking a vacation rental is not easy. There are a lot of options and there are a lot not so good homes or people who are not great with communication. NBVP was so delightful!! They took the stress off the the process and made everything so clear. They even have a phone app that has every detail needed for check in. We will always book with NBVP!! Thank you sooo much!!!The house is beautiful and so big!! The kids loved playing on the bay. We even got to use the kayaks and stand up paddle boards. We will try to come back every year.

We have lived in the Newport Beach area for many years but never stayed on Balboa Island. We chose 1400 S Bayfront for a family 70th bday complete with a sand castle erected on the beach in his honor. The home is very comfortable to include a large well stocked kitchen that accommodates prep, cooking and wine tasting by all. There are enough bedrooms and bathrooms to allow our group to stretch out and relax. The upstairs living room was the BEST view Balboa offers and you won't want to miss the sunset!To say the location of this home is desirable is an understatement. The grocery market was just a block away, we walked to coffee shops and we never drove our car out to dinner. This home is clean, organized and the bedding is lovely. Make this you next vacation rental in the Newport Beach area. 5/5 STARS.

We have a big family & this beach house was perfect for us. Everyone had their own bedroom & bathroom & privacy but could come together and play cards games & have our meals together. Very spacious with a gorgeous view over looking the bay. Our grandkids were over joyed to see a seal, dolphin, fish & crabs. We had a tough year with illness & surgeries so this was the perfect place for our family to come together & relax & be together & make some lifetime memories. We will definitely be back. Thank you for making everything so easy for our stay. We appreciate it.
