Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Balboa Island

As beautiful and peaceful as described. Our family enjoyed this comfortable oasis in the heart of Balboa Island. A few short steps from restaurants, market and shops. Can’t wait to return!

Had an amazing stay at this beautiful weekend rental! The unit itself was modern, spotless, and had everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. The location couldn’t be better — close to the beach, shops, and plenty of great food spots. The host was incredibly attentive and responsive, which made our stay even better. One thing to note: this is the unit in the back of the property, not the front, which was a bit confusing at first, but once we found it, everything was perfect. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a convenient and stylish place to stay!

A fabulous house, excellent location.

This house is in an amazing spot. Restaurants and bars are close by. Walkable to the beach. I loved the automation in the house and everything was how it was described. Would definitely recommend anyone to stay here.

Fantastic stay at the Marvel house!! It was amazing with such great theming, lots to do, great scavenger hunt, and a super host! You must stay here and the grand kids loved the arcade games, heated pool, and movie room,etc…too much to mention….

Super efficient team . Response to the question fast and accurate. Location is easy to assess all spots. House is clean and beautiful. Strongly recommended

Our family’s stay was lovely. This quintessentially classic Balboa Island house felt like home away from home — comfortable, warm and inviting, cozy and quaint … yet spacious, too. We were all thrilled to have plenty of elbow room. Excellent location on little Balboa Island made parking super easy, plus the main walk-around area was truly a quick, easy stroll away. Appreciated the kitchen/baths being well stocked with basic supplies and essential equipment. Host communication was superb. Five stars!!!

This was probably our favorite Airbnb we’ve stayed at to date! Amazing location, you are literally steps from the beach. Newport is such a great area!Took a short 10 minute walk to pick up coffee and bagels in the morning, and ate on the private upper deck. Beds were super comfortable! Hosts were always friendly and responsive. Would highly recommend, easy 5 stars all around. Thank you!

The place is great. We felt very comfortable here. Terry is very accommodating.

Roger was an excellent host. He communicated great and his home had everything you’d need for the beach. The beach house was in a great location with everything you need in walking distance. Thanks Roger and Family.

A quaint little house, with a short walk to the beach. The area is beautiful to walk and close to restaurants. Great stay.

We really enjoyed staying at yet another one of Tracy's wonderful places in CDM. Great location, and beautiful sunlit space. Well-stocked with amenities and spotlessly clean. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

We had the best time in this little gem of an apartment. Located in a lovely, quiet residential neighborhood of Aliso Viejo with direkt access to trails, a good connection to the freeway and only few minutes by car to beautiful Laguna Beach. Cari is an exceptional host, very thoughtful and attentive whilst always being mindful of everyone’s privacy. The unit sits tucked away in the lush and green backyard of the main property and allows for a quiet stay and feeling of safety and calm. The unit is fairly small with a tiny kitchenette, but offers everything one can need to handle daily life. Very thoughtfully equipped to make the most of every square foot, clean and high end appliances. Highly recommend this place - whether that’s for vacation or for seeking a temporary home.

A Perfect Stay! I couldn’t have asked for a better Airbnb experience. The home was exactly as described—immaculately clean, stylish, and incredibly comfortable. Every little detail had been thought through, from the cozy linens to the fully stocked kitchen. The check-in process was smooth and communication with the host Janet was prompt and friendly throughout. The neighborhood was close to everything I needed—restaurants, shops, and attractions. It truly felt like a home away from home. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and seamless stay. I’ll definitely be booking again!

Place was great! Regine was extremely responsive and thoughtful, even when answering questions that were explained within the instructions in the apartment. Location was amazing and we definitely would stay here again.

Great stay. Looked like the pictures. On a quiet street, good location to get to other parts of the town. The room itself is on the back end upper part of the house. It has own entrance and private but common front yard entrance and have to walk to backyard to get inside. Good for a short trip. Not walkable to anything too close, must drive. Parking was super easy on a quiet residential street.

This unit within Hamilton Cove has been our best vacation yet. The views from the balcony were stunning. The entire unit felt clean and was very spacious for me and my now wife. The golf kart was a plus - it was a short 5-8 minute ride into downtown. Hosts were responsive. Definitely will be coming back to stay here again!!

Great place to stay. Walking distance to the beach was 2 min. Great amenities for the beach and great assortment of bikes. Loved the beach chairs and umbrellas. Place was very clean. Definitely would stay there again.

Amazing location, loved our stay here, would come back.

Tiffany is an incredible host. She is easy to communicate with and was proactive informing you of what to expect, easy instructions both checking in and out, as well as recommendations. She answered any questions I had in a timely matter to. The golf cart is a great addition as well to easily get to Avalon. Bottom line up front everything was very simple so that my girlfriend and I were able to fully enjoy our stay on the island. The villa was beautiful just like the pictures. It was very clean, comfortable, and welcoming. I highly recommend booking with Tiffany at her villa in Hamilton Cove. Just a heads up if you’re going to eat on the balcony don’t leave any food unattended for a second or the birds will swoop it. They’re watching and waiting for an opportunity. Happened to me lol. Thank you again Tiffany for making our trip so much easier to enjoy.

The place was beautiful! There was an amazing view. The place was nice and cozy, the perfect place to relax and soak in the view. The poo and hot tub was also very convenient.

The place was great! Perfect location close to the bay, beach and park for the kids. Cindi was super responsive and helpful when we needed it!

This place was very nice. The building was amazing and I enjoyed all the antique qualities about it and the friendly tenants. There were so many extra touches left for us. Close to everything, but that also meant that it was very loud at night until things settled. We were there on a long weekend though. I would stay there again without hesitation. The team stayed at a hotel and this beat it by far. Megan was amazing and responded within minutes. so, so nice!

The place is really nice and super clean to stay. 5 star ⭐️ recommendation!
