Waterfront holiday rentals in Balboa Island

Great overall. Clean, comfortable, with plenty of towels. This unit is right on the water, with a patio on the first level where you can lounge and watch seabirds and various people walk by. The only couple of notes to be aware of are one, the main living area has no window treatments for privacy, so don't walk around unclothed... unless you are into that kind of thing. Second, there is no water filtration, so you'll need to purchase your own drinking water. Also, cheap toilet paper that's rough on the rear end. Yes, I'm being nitpicky.

Will was a very responsive host and had great recommendations for the area. Just be aware that since this is an attached space to the next-door neighbors, the sound from upstairs is a bit prominent like footsteps/loud sound. Couple of knick knacks like the shower door and fridge door were to be fixed, but that was acknowledged to be repaired. Otherwise, I would love to stay here again.

David was an amazing host and very attentive to detail. His place was beautiful and very clean. He made sure we had everything we needed and was very communicative. The apartment is right next to the beach and in a quiet Neighborhood. I definitely recommend this place and will be returning soon.

We enjoyed our stay at Jonathan’s Friendly neighbors and really liked the location.

The place was exactly as described and we felt incredibly comfortable. They had a cute set up and the pool was clean. The host were lovely and efficient. I truly enjoyed my stay here and would definitely come back.

My husband, two girls, and I absolutely loved our stay at Ollie’s place! The location is perfect, and sitting in front of that window every morning with my coffee is something I’m going to daydream about nonstop. We walked right out to the beach every morning after breakfast, and Ollie had chairs, toys, and much more for us to use on the beach. Her breakfast each morning was such a treat! We couldn’t get enough of her delicious baked treats. Ollie is so kind, and is super quick to respond with anything you may need. Thanks Ollie for the best family vacay! ❤️

TW was extremely responsive and a great host. Property as described and in a great area. Close to everything in the OC.

We loved staying here! The place was beautiful and perfect for our little family! Kim was super easy to communicate with and very proactive in her responses! We would love to stay again when back in Long Beach!

The house was really easy to find. It was spotless and very comfortable. We loved the beach with the waves right next to it. We also loved the lagoon right down the street. Kyle was very responsive when I had questions which makes the experience even better. We will definitely be back.

Jennifer’s beachfront home was lovely! It was clean, spacious, comfortable and right on the beach. It was the perfect place for our family to celebrate my niece’s first birthday. It was so peaceful, we could hear the waves from the couch. Stunning views.

We were looking for a place that we could rest and relax for a few days. We were not looking for places to visit or a lot of activities, even though this property is located where you have those things to choose from. This property fit our needs perfectly. Coffee in the morning sitting outside in the beautifully decorated outdoor space, including a peaceful water feature was so nice. The home is beautiful and there wasn’t a single thing we wanted that wasn’t provided. Communications were very timely and they genuinely wanted you to have everything you needed to have a wonderful stay. I can’t imagine anyone not being 100% happy with this property and the host. We would love to return in the future.

This is in a great location. The home has whatever one may need including an iron, steamer, dishwasher, grill, washing machine and dryer. Easy to walk anywhere in town. Nice front patio to relax on.

We really enjoyed our time at Andrew's home in Huntington Beach. It was immaculate and comfortable, with clear instructions on how to use the televisions, blinds, and kitchen.

Great place. All the photos and descriptions were accurate. We celebrated our daughter’s birthday and we had a good time having it there.

5 Stars – A Magical Stay Near the Happiest Place on Earth! Our stay at this Pixar Airbnb was truly unforgettable! From the moment we walked in, we felt right at home. The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and filled with thoughtful touches that made our trip extra special—Disney-themed details, comfy beds, and even a welcome basket that made our kids smile from ear to ear. The location couldn’t be more perfect—just minutes from Disneyland, which made it incredibly convenient for taking breaks in the middle of our park days. We also loved how peaceful and quiet the neighborhood was after long, exciting days at the parks. The host went above and beyond with communication, offering helpful local tips and making sure we had everything we needed. Every detail was clearly well thought out, and the check-in process was seamless. Whether you’re visiting with family or friends, this Airbnb is the perfect home base for your Disneyland adventure. We can’t wait to come back!

had a great time staying in Newport. walking to the beach and local restaurants was amazing. great deal for the location and the size. The beach towel, chairs, and umbrella provided came in handy! only issue was checking, we got there at 6pm and had to wait till 745pm till they sent us the code. we did book last minute so understandable and it didn't impact our trip at all. Will definitely stay again if I'm in the area!!

What an AMAZING place! Desiree has thought of absolutely everything to make your stay perfect. Our contact/host (Shannon) was he best - she communicated with us every step of the way to be sure our stay was seamless. She met us at the place and gave us all the details. Bigger Fish is a dream location but the house itself is set up beautifully - to the crisp clean linens and dreamy beds, the very clean floors bathrooms and well stocked kitchen, lovely decor, and really amazing upper deck - this place has it all. We will be back!!

This is the perfect little place right next to New Port Pier. It was clean and spacious. It was fun to be next to the pier with all the restaurants and shops. The beach is just steps away and they have a cute farmers market on Sundays. It was perfect.

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely studio apartment conveniently located just a short walk from the water. In fact, everything was within walking distance! In the future, whenever we stay in Long Beach, we will be checking for availability here first. The apartment was spotless and well maintained. The bed was super comfy, too! I drank my morning coffee on the balcony and just enjoyed the view. The building felt very secure. The clearly detailed instructions Nico provided made the check-in process stress free. And, when we did have any questions, Nico was very attentive and always responded within minutes. We had no issues with the parking garage and were confident our vehicle was in a safe location. Ultimately, this is one of the best places we’ve stayed under the Airbnb umbrella.

Cute and clean home! Walkable location to restaurants and the beach area. Thank you

Location was great! Hosts were quick to respond and very helpful. Thank you!

We enjoyed our stay on Balboa Island. My family has rented many homes on the island. This rental was one of the best! Clean, comfortable, great view and quiet! Just what we were looking for!

Wow! Henry and Maria were absolutely amazing hosts! They were very helpful and responsive and most of all very accommodating. The home was spotless and better than described. Would recommend 1000% Thank you The Lampkin’s

Chris’s place was exactly how it was described: beautiful location and a great condo! We couldn’t have asked for a nicer stay!! And Chris always emailed quickly with helpful ideas and a kind word. I would recommend this home to anyone who loves a beach environment!!
