Cottage vacation rentals in Balboa Peninsula, Newport Beach

We had the BEST time at Chase’s place. We loved the island itself, but felt very lucky to find such a fun and personable place that was full of character and wonderful amenities. We loved the hot tub, the beach items, the games, the office capabilities, the yoga items, the great water pressure, and on and on. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Chase!

We had such a great stay here, thank you so much Jaime and Liz for hosting us! The views are just phenomenal, and easy access to the hot tub and pool really was a treat. Would love to come back here again in the future!

This was a beautiful experience from start to finish. The house was beautifully decorated and there were so many small touches that made us feel comfortable and welcome during our stay in Laguna Beach. The location was perfect for access to town and the beach as well as hiking trails. We loved getting the neighborhood feel and the ability to come and go all day without difficulty. Plenty of space for everyone, a great kitchen, amazing back yard that we took advantage of a lot- private, sunny with everything you could need. John was a great host- with great, simple, timely communication- probably the best air bnb we have done. Now we know we have a spot in Laguna Beach when it is time to come back. Thank you for the hospitality. This house is a must-do if you are looking for an in-town walkable bungalow.

Let’s just say we didn’t want to leave. Tom was great super friendly and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Location was amazing only second away from the beach, with bikes the host provided. The house had everything we needed and even toys for the kids. Definitely family stamp of approval.

Chris was a great host, very responsive and helpful when needed. Directions were clear upon check in and check out. Would definitely stay here again!

Ashlee’s place was exactly what we needed to spend the holidays with our family in Laguna Niguel! The location was prefect, her place was comfortable and beautifully decorated.

The house was beautiful. Backyard comfortable, great front porch with a view of the park. The road in front is one lane one way and quiet. Kitchen is well supplied, basics are there…well appointed. It is an older home which has been taken care of. There are the quirks of an older home as well. Close drive to stores, restaurants…other parks, beaches, farmers markets. Great library of books in the home. Loved the location.. highly recommend. We did have an issue when checking in with the code but the call was answered immediately with a fast workaround. Very impressed with Vacasa’s response and recommendations.

Nicely laid out space. Plenty of room for 4 people and 2 dogs. All surfaces were clean and easy to clean. So many toys to use for the beach. Bikes, boogie boards, chairs and a wagon. Made it so much easier to pack. Great to have a laundry space. Parking was easy. Entering the place was easy. Ernie was very communicative. Loved the place. Will. Be back.

We had a great stay at this lovely cute property on Balboa Island. Great for couple and families. Fantastic location with a really nice friendly beach feel to the island. Lots of amenities within walking distance and the house is stocked with what you need for short or longer stays. Thoroughly good time helped by Scott being very easy to deal with

Great little house. Super cute. I will caution anyone who wants a soft bed, this is not the place for you. The beds are incredibly firm and make for tough sleeping if you’re a softer bed type. My husband would have loved the beds.

We had a great time at Scott's place! It was a very cute cottage that was very peaceful. Location is excellent, with great dining options and the beach both very close by! Scott is a very responsive and excellent host. Would highly recommend!

10/10 stars 🌟 This space was so beautiful, peaceful, and had everything you could think of for a wonderful stay. I was so at home, appreciated being able to cook my own meals and loved that it was dog friendly. Mary was so sweet, kind, and responsive. She is a fantastic host who truly thought of everything to make this stay above and beyond. We would absolutely stay again. The oranges from the garden were an extra plus! So delicious!

This pot exceeded our expectations. It was as described and even better. Super clean, decorated so cute, walkable, the beach park around the corner, a darling coffee shop also on the corner which we went to daily. I am Going to schedule here again. Absolute paradise - wish we could buy one of the units that’s how much we loved it.

We had a great stay. For a studio, the space is designed with thoughtful touches like extra coat racks, towel hooks, and shelving that really maximize the space. The view was great and we loved the top balcony. The noise from the road made it tough to keep the windows open, so it got warm inside at times. Other than that, we loved the space and would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful cottage on the canal in Newport Beach. The house is really lovely and well-decorated and stocked. Fantastic location near restaurants, shopping and the beach. Jan and Kurt were the nicest hosts - very accommodating and exceptionally communicative. We always had a prompt response from them when we had questions and when we asked about some adjustments to our travel plans on check out day. Would give it a 5 out of 5, highly recommend, and would love to come back and stay again! Perfect for two couples.

Kira took me in after I lost my home in the Eaton fires. Her kindness and empathy has made a stressful and difficult time easier to navigate. She has such a beautiful energy. Her magical home is a healing sanctuary. A place that not only could I feel safe and begin the healing process, but one that is so visually stimulating and creative that by being in the space and outdoor surroundings, you feel you can take on anything in the world. She has poured so much love into her home and the design of her yard that you can't help but feel enveloped by it. The nature surrounding the area is so grounding. Kira's place truly is a magical wonderland.

We had a wonderful stay at Christina’s home! She was so kind and helpful. We felt right at home. She also offered local suggestions for us. We will definitely stay again when visiting Orange.

We really enjoyed our stay over Spring Break. Loved the location. We counted 97 steps from the front door to the sand. Close enough to restaurants, the pier and easy to get to PCH and 55 freeway. It’s about 3/4 mile walk along the sidewalk to get to the pier and all the fun little shops and restaurants. Had some good donuts and tacos right close to the pier. Very clean and fully stocked with books, DVDs, games for kids and families,beach toys and more. Would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely adored this beautifully adorned cottage. It was roomy, and had all the amenities we desired. Loved the walkability to the old town circle, which we thoroughly enjoyed. A real gem in Southern California. Would definitely stay again.

Enjoyed the stay Great location Directions and instructions clear to follow up

Kingston's place was perfect for just me! Great walkable location, the most comfy bed with soft sheets. Felt right at home.

Natalie’s place was perfect for our visit to Long Beach. The place was spotless and had everything you could possibly need to make the stay comfortable including nice provisions that she left for us. We never had problem with parking within a block of her place and found the area to be super quiet at night. We loved walking along the beach and doing morning yoga on the deck. The heater is on the loud side, but the two times we needed it, it heat the place up in a matter of a minutes. We will definitely stay here again when visiting our son in LB.
