Family-friendly vacation rentals in Balboa Peninsula, Newport Beach

Enjoyed our stay and appreciate the flexibility of the host to accommodate a slightly earlier check in time :)

This was one of the best AirBnb's I have stayed at. Jan was friendly and left several extra ammenities inside the home. The location was in a safe and walkable location. The outside seating areas were inviting and relaxing. My stay was very enjoyable and I will be returning when I am in the area again.

Very clean, cute decor, comfortable and spacious (for our family of 5people), has a lot of ample amenities even for kids! Clubhouse, pool & jacuzzi access. Securities at the gate were friendly and the Neighbors mostly seem don't mind having Air BnB guests in a gated community. Walking to Waldorf hotel took about 10m, beach about 20m. But the restaurants and stores were in short driving distance. We really enjoyed this spot. Thank you!

Absolutely beautiful space! It almost seems like you’re transported somewhere else, even another time. It was all great! And being one who usually avoids host interactions, Margarita and her husband couldn’t have been more welcoming. 10/10 would reco!

I absolutely LOVED this home!! Absolutely stunning backyard, and so peaceful and relaxing!! Host was extremely responsive and willing to help with any issue. Will be staying again next year!

A little piece of beach heaven is how I would describe this place! We came with our two littles .They had toys to use, a crib, a high chair and most of all a safe patio to accommodate our family. The beds were so comfortable which is great since we both have back pain. The front room is large to dance, play and chase kids. The kitchen was easy to use and full size fridge helps! The bathroom was very clean and made us feel comfortable using all the amenities. The whole place was very clean without any dust bunnies hiding out. The patio made us feel secluded in our own little oasis. The lights, fireplace & outdoor speakers made it a magical experience! The Location is at the end of the shopping strip so it was quiet at night. We will be back and plan on using the bikes and the beach amenities that way we can pack less! A home away from home, close to the beach is all we wanted for this first trip as a family to San Clemente. We definitely got more than we asked for! Thank you so much!

We had an amazing stay at Irma’s place! The house was incredibly clean, and the location was perfect. Irma was also very responsive and helpful. We'll definitely be back!"

My daughter and I had the perfect weekend stay at Ryan’s! The pictures don’t do it justice. Also the pool is salt water which was a huge plus for me, I have very sensitive skin so that was a nice bonus😊 we def will be back!

Loved this treehouse! So much fun for my friend and I. Two sixty-something ladies in town for some fun and tired of boring hotels. The detail and craftmanship Dan has put into this treehouse is amazing. It is unbelievably solid as well. The bathroom and shower are adorable and look like an outhouse. Wish we could have had more time to spend on the beautiful upstairs balcony but our schedule was too packed. The AC worked well for the hot days we were there and wireless was also good. If stairs and ladders are hard for you, this may not be a place for you to stay. But if you want adventure, something totally unique and in a safe area near lots of things, this is for you. It would be amazing if you have kids. My friend and I didn't want to sleep in the same bed so one of us slept on the couch. There is also a spare matress you can use but the couch was fine for us, maybe not for a larger person. I highly recommend, and when we come back to OC we'll definitely stay here if we can.

I loved staying here! Me and my dogs were super comfortable and had the best time. My stay was super relaxing and everything was on point. Definitely would like to stay again in the future :)

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.

Chris’ place was exactly as described! Perfect size for my 2 family members and I. The area is super peaceful and it was nice to enjoy the weather on the front patio. Would definitely recommend this stay and would love to go again.

Such an affordable place to stay for the incredible location! The amenities of a balcony and a washer/dryer were very helpful. The host also had plenty of beach gear to use, so we had everything we needed for a beach day!

This place was such a gem! Got to meet the hosts and they were so sweet and and helpful. If you're anywhere near Ocean Ave for the weekend and need a peaceful little oasis, this is your spot! Comfortable, inviting place once you walk in and such a convenient walk to downtown area. Will definitely be booking again!

A great place to stay if you are looking for a short walk to the beach. Great destination and neighborhood to be in.

Honestly, the best vacation rental I’ve ever stayed in! Lots of kitchen items, the beds and pillows were great, the house itself is a dream! I definitely want to come back, this will be my go-to spot! Hosts were so responsive and willing to help, definitely impressed.

Yan’s place was exactly what we needed for a big family resting place. The expectations of the place were well communicated and friendly reminders were plastered all around the house to refer to on our last night and morning. Everyone had a great time, there was a point of great discomfort for me but after speaking with Yan, she assured me of a speedy solution.

My family of 4 absolutely loved staying here for the four nights. It was super clean, extremely well stocked, and comfortable. Not to mention the pool and jacuzzi, the view and the peace and quiet! We would without hesitation book here again! Camille was so nice and communicative we felt like we were staying at a friend’s house.

Susy was a great host. She checked in with us and made us feel very comfortable. She also helped look for some items we had left behind.

This AirBnB is genuinely one of the nicest places I’ve stayed - very aesthetic decor, pristine furnishings, and extremely comfortable beds! My family and I loved our stay and will definitely rebook next time we are in LA!

Place was an amazing stay. The area was nice and quiet. Entrance to the place was very easy and the place has a pool and outdoor patio with a fire pit which was amazing! Beds and sheets were very comfortable and soft with an AC available. The room has a complimentary coffee station which was amazing!!! The place was clean and aesthetic! Highly suggest this place!

The house was exactly as pictured and described. The pool was great! I loved that they had toiletries, made it so easy to check in late and not have to immediately unpack. if we needed anything, Carmen responded within minutes! The drive to Disney was a BREEZE! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

My family stayed at Krysta’s home for nights during our trip to Disneyland. Krysta was super responsive and proactive in her communications. She reached out ahead of the time to help arrange our arrival and was there to help us settle in. The house had everything we needed to be comfortable, and it was very clean! The neighborhood was clean and safe, with a children’s playground just right outside. The drive to Disneyland parks and disney downtown area was only 10 minutes and super easy. I highly recommend Krysta and her home to anyone looking to visit Disney!

We absolutely loved this house! it was very well equipped, super clean, very comfortable. Eric responded immediately to the 1 little problem we had and came and fixed it right away. the littles (and the grown ups) really enjoyed the pool and toys, both inside and out, and just over all this was a wonderful very comfortable place for my family of 9. The coffee bar in the kitchen was top notch, and an unexpected surprise. There were strollers in the garage for us to use as well. i can't say enough good things about our stay, all of the little "extra" things really made a difference! We will be booking this house (if available) for all of our future trips. Thank you so much Eric for sharing your awesome house with us!
