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 stayed at the Dana’s Ocean View residence in Huntington Beach for several days in early May 2025. We brought our small pup hoping to find a location that was close to the beach and near restaurants and stores. Its proximity to so many places within walking distance means we can spend more time staying active and exploring places nearby. After long days of fun and sun, the back patio with a fire pit and grill meant we could relax outside while the ocean breeze rolled in. The residence itself was clean and well maintained. We would spend time here again without hesitation. Thank you Dana for allowing us to stay here!

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!

Kristi was a great host! Helped us book last minute and responded quickly to all messages.

This place was perfect for our family! My husband always has a difficult time sleeping away from home, but he didn’t have trouble sleeping here! The beds are super comfortable, along with the linens, pillows, etc. We were able to get great use out of the wagon and boogie boards. I loved the location; we walked to the beach in under 10min, walked to the grocery store, and of course my husband enjoyed his morning walk to Starbucks every morning. The kitchen had a beautiful gas stove where we enjoyed cooking every night. Greg, I can’t thank you enough for our best family trip yet!!!

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!

The front desk staff members were friendly and helpful! The location was beautiful and room was clean and comfortable.

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.

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.

Amazing stay and the host were very proactive and prepared me well for my stay. Beautiful location with great amenities and 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!

My family and I stayed here for a week and it was one of the most enjoyable trips we’ve had. The house is just so cute! The hosts are incredibly responsive and accommodating. The neighbourhood is very safe and with friendly neighbours. Would definitely stay here again!

Nice location !!! easy accesss!

Adorable place w nice finishes and super close to the beach. It’s in a great location with lots of bustle. We loved sitting on the little patio. All of Lisa’s instructions were super clear and specific. She was very responsive in bringing us more wine glasses when we noticed there was just one.

never stayed on the bay side &I ended up loving it. beautiful &modern + huge front patio AND a back patio, perfect for my husky. barely left &already booked another visit in a couple weeks

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!

This was the second time in the space of a year that we stayed at this property. It’s amazing for young families. Everything in walking distance and literally 100 yards from the beach. Very quiet area, and perfect location to walk around and explore. The property is kept so well, and always super clean and tidy. You really do feel at home here. Couldn’t ask for anything more. Will definitely stay here anytime we’re visiting Newport Beach!

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

Such a great location! It was our second time staying here, with two adults and two small children. Location is perfect in terms of proximity to the beach, shops, groceries etc. Also at a quieter part of the beach which we appreciated. Place was clean, amenities worked for what we needed and Kirsten was responsive when we had questions.
