Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Balboa Peninsula, Newport Beach

This was an AMAZING stay! Our 5 kids had an absolute blast in the pool, and, loved the rooms (and own TV! HA!) The life jackets and pool towels were really helpful, especially for pool and beach days. We loved the large couch and watched a ton of family movies. The kids also really enjoyed all the games provided, especially the large Jenga game :) The location of this home was PERFECT... Easy to get to Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Huntington Beach, Irvine. Everything felt like it was within a 20 minutes drive. There's also a local grocery store that we frequented often! Our only wish is that there had been a BBQ, but, otherwise, literally had anything and everything we could have hoped for or needed!

This was a perfect home base for visiting family in Long Beach. The house was clean, spacious, and comfortable, which made it easy for multiple adults to work without disturbing each other. The kitchen was well equipped and provided lots of space for us to cook and eat family meals together. We also loved that the house was within walking distance of a few grocery stores. The hosts were responsive, friendly, and welcoming and we appreciated all their work to make sure we had a great stay! We would definitely recommend this home to anyone visiting the area.

Great location and easy to find. Lots of space for our party of 10.

A great stay! Exactly as advertised and in a super quiet neighborhood close to everything we needed! Hosts were super helpful!

Great place in the hills! Loved the neighborhood and property

This was a perfect location. Wish I could have stayed longer and would 100% recommend. Beds were comfy, strong wifi, walkable to grocery store and the beach plus more!

i felt very good , everything was close to the shops , everything was very good host, thank you Joseph

Bar far my best stay. Home is beautiful. We had a great stay during Easter. Home roomy and clean. Will be back soon

This is a cozy little two bedroom condo duplex that’s a great alternative if you don’t want to stay at one of the Disneyland hotels. It’s a 10 minute walk to the park. I stayed there for four days with my 10-year-old twin daughters, and we had a blast. Kitchen has modern amenities, as does the laundry room, which made keeping up with the needs of two hungry kids easy. The kids room has bunkbeds, twin over full, which suited my kids nicely. The master BR has vaulted ceiling, but no connected master bathroom. The description was accurate, and the host was very responsive and proactive. The binder of instructions was very helpful and clear. You get a garage space which comes in very handy. All in all, if you’re going to Disneyland, and you don’t want to stay at the hotel, and you need a cozy place for your family, this is just about perfect.

Great location and house was very welcoming. Loved all of the features especially the lighting in the house. Favorite part is that it’s so close to Disneyland!

This was our third stay at The Shack! If you're traveling to the peninsula, the price for this location cannot be beat — walkable to Pavilions, the beach (including the boardwalk), Lido, and so many fantastic restaurants. The condo is clean, comfortable, and offers great people watching from its second-story vantage. Will continue to recommend!

"Fantastic stay! The place was spotless, well-stocked with everything we needed, and in a perfect location. It was a great deal for the price, and everything exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend!"

Susan’s place was so nice and perfect for our stay in Long Beach. The beds were the comfiest and allowed for restful sleep. The place was spacious and had everything we needed for our stay. We would definitely stay again!

Clean, bright and spacious place just steps from the beach and right across the street from a convenient shopping center. Super comfortable stay and Bruce was an excellent communicator. Thanks, Bruce!

We really enjoyed our stay in Newport Beach! The location was the highlight—just steps from the beach and close to everything we needed, from coffee spots to great restaurants. The house was simple and not overly stocked, but it worked well for our needs. If you’re looking for a place with unbeatable access to the beach and boardwalk, this is a great option!

We loved our time here. Thank you.

Irene’s place was great. It was very peaceful and clean. Great neighborhood too.

We had a great time at Naomi's place, plenty of space for all eight of us and beds were very comfortable. Host was quick to respond to my questions, I missed the WiFi login informtion but she quickly told me where to find it. And everything in the home was just as it looked online. From check in to check out it was a great experience.

Fantastic property with lots of privacy and beautiful gardens and pool area. We enjoyed the space and location to the parks and activities was central. We plan to rent this property again in the future.

Place did the trick for what my family needed. Host was very responsive when we needed something. Very nice having laundry in unit with supplies available.

Both hosts were helpful and quickly responded to all my questions! The place has lots of space for decorating and activities.

I would highly recommend this beautiful,clean home to friends and family. We are looking forward to booking again in the summer. Thank you Chunjiang for the fast responses and answering to all our needs.

Great family friendly place. Easy instructions. Host was very communicative. Pool was clean and beautiful. Very spacious for a family of 5. Highly recommend.

We chose this listing because of the proximity to a family wedding and other gatherings. We had 8 adults (4 couples) with plenty of room for everyone. We love that we had garage access with the number of cars we had. There were plenty of parks, side walks, and trails to explore in the area. We felt safe in the neighborhood, and there is access to the tennis court and two pickleball courts across the street. Our family took advantage of the open pickleball play on Saturday and Sunday mornings. We couldn’t figure out a way to reserve the pickleball court, but the open play was enough for us. We did not cook too much during our stay, but there seemed to be basic necessities to do so. The rooms did not have TVs, but this was not a problem for our group. Our family highly recommends this listing!
