We had a fantastic stay here and truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The hosts were welcoming, responsive, and made everything easy from start to finish.The location was hard to beat. We loved being able to hop on the Duffy and cruise over to Balboa Island, and it was also just a short walk to the beach, shops, and great restaurants. The bikes were a fun bonus and made it easy to explore the area.The home itself was cozy, comfortable, and the perfect place to relax after busy days out enjoying Newport, Disney, and the San Diego Zoo. We especially loved sipping our morning coffee on the patio with a beautiful water view, which made the start to each day feel extra special.Overall, this place had everything we needed and some great family memories were made here. We would absolutely stay here again and are so thankful to Judi for sharing this wonderful place! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great Newport Beach getaway.

Judi and Nuel were very kind, flexible, and friendly… It was so nice to have access to the boat and paddle boards. We had a great time on the back patio. I would’ve appreciated a cutting board and small oven/cooktop instead of a full size dishwasher but there’s room to add that if they want to later. Other wise the unit was fully stocked.Fabulous location to beach, restaurants, and bars.

Communication was a key factor also. Took 15 hours for hosts to respond back. To get door code . The kitchen does not include an oven. There is a microwave and toaster oven. The apartment is over the owners house down stairs. There is not any privacy on their patio. They can watch you if you choose to sit down there. The BBQ grill has not been cleaned in a long time making it non usable.. The mattress cover and pillows are both stained with yellow and tan colored stains. Plus a slight aroma to the old pillows we noticed also as well. The apartment does not face the water..listed as ocean view. Should say bay view but not from the rental. You can watch cars down on the street. We took their Duffy out into the harbor and it quit. Fortunately we lived at one time across the bay and had a boat of our own. My husband was able to get us back to the dock very slowly. The boat was the main reason we chose this location and we were familiar with the neighborhood. I would suggest that you rent someplace else if you want a nice vacation. The owners are nice enough but should retire from the VRBO business. They did partially refund some of our stay. We reserved 8 days at this location and they refunded only 2 days worth. Please fix the situation in your apartment and clarify truly what you are renting. Make sure the bedding is clean and fresh. Don’t list the Duffy as an incentive unless it’s in great condition. We were lucky to be able to return without being towed.

Nuel and Judi are, without a doubt, the most wonderful hosts! Our stay was nothing short of magical and epic. They masterfully balanced being available while giving us absolute privacy, making us feel like our apartment directly behind their home—the patio directly on the water with our own private boat dock, the Duffy boat, the kayaks—was ours alone. We were so impressed by their kind and happy demeanor that we wish we had more opportunities to chat with them.For my birthday, Judi went the extra mile, and made us a charcuterie board as a thoughtful gesture when my BFF and her husband came over to celebrate my birthday. The trip was filled with firsts, including my first time kayaking and special bonding with my son and navigating the Duffy boat with my son and husband, and it was a blast for all of us.Thank you for your fantastic hospitality. This home is a must for anyone seeking a truly special and memorable escape, and we are already looking forward to our next visit!

The only reason for picking this property is for the use of the electric Duffy boat. Judi and Nuel the hosts were non responsive to our requests for help when the Duffy stopped working in the harbor. We were towed first by the harbor patrol to a public dock & then back to the house by a private towing company. This all could have been avoided if the host had charged the Duffy or instructed us on how to charge It. The charge indicator on the center console is broken & gives an inaccurate reading. Only one of the 2 bikes at the property is functional. The shower smells of sewer back up after each use and the fan needs to be run to clear the smell. I would not rent this place again

We LOVED this stay! The house was cute and clean. The hosts were so very friendly and available if we needed them but not on top of us. They had all kinds of fun activities available (boat, paddleboards, bikes, etc) and the location was perfectly in the middle of the channel and beach, close to restaurants and shopping but in a quiet neighborhood. We would definitely return!

What was great: Our hostess was super friendly and truly a lovely person! The kayaks and stand-up paddle boards were wonderful to use around the river and bay area. The apartment was conveniently located within walking distance to resaurants and other shopping areas. The beach was only five minutes away - walking. Use of the Duffy boat and patio were available. Our living space worked for our needs.Even though we were separated from the hosts, they were technically present in the main house, so we didn't really want to spend too much time on the patio being too loud, especially at night. The only television we could work was in the livingroom; the others needed passwords. It is a bit tight for four adults, but we made it work and were out enjoying short time in Newport.
