Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Newport Bay

We had a great time on Balboa Island- the place was comfortable and clean, and the host was very easy to communicate with.

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.

What a wonderful stay!! This property was just perfect for our family holiday re living memories from years past. Such a beautiful cozy home. The decor and furniture were high quality and comfortable. We loved the balcony!! We spent mornings, afternoons and evenings outside and captured a number of great family photos with the water and trees as the backdrop. The kitchen was well stocked and the bbq was great. Beds very comfortable. Space was perfect for our adult family of 7. We loved the location and a peaceful street. Garage was very much appreciated making coming and going easy. We hope that we can return again soon !!

Great stay, responsive host, top location, we were in the unit upstairs, so quiet and well kept. Clean, and beds are super comfortable.

Ann was very easy to communicate with and her place was nice and clean. My family and I had a great time staying at her place!

This was a great place to stay, close to grocery stores and the beach and it only took half hour to get to Disneyland. They had AC in the general area of the house and a washer and dryer and a great kitchen. And great bedrooms. Our host Adam was amazing and super Duper Responsive when we when we communicated with him super helpful. It was easy to find and not too far off the freeway. Would recommend staying here plus you have a parking space where a parking is at a premium in LA.

We absolutely loved Kristi’s place! The house was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and stocked with all the listed amenities. The location was perfect, offering a peaceful atmosphere with easy access to nearby spots. We especially enjoyed walking around the area and making s’mores in the cozy backyard firepit. It was a relaxing and memorable stay. We’ll definitely be back for another visit!

Sunset Dream House is truly the dream home we’ve always longed for. Located in a golden spot, it’s just a 5-minute walk to Fun Zone, the Ferry, or Bay Island. If you enjoy jogging, cycling, or relaxing in public parks, Marina Park, Memorial Park, and Peninsula Park are all nearby. Surprisingly, despite its convenience, the house offers a peaceful and tranquil vibe. That calmness comes mostly from the interior — a perfect blend of modern and unique design, complemented by smart and user-friendly tech features. What made the experience even more special was the host’s hospitality. They were warm, responsive, and thoughtful — even preparing some practical little gifts for us, which made us feel truly cared for. We felt welcomed from the very beginning and completely at ease throughout our stay. Highly recommended for anyone looking for both convenience and serenity in one place!

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.

I was super lucky to find this place and it be available . I’ve stayed in many Airbnbs and this one is by far is the best! Location, upgrades throughout, comfortable but not too soft beds, instruction left for every gadget and the quality of the cookware, Gwen thought of every kitchen tool one would want and I have Lenox butterfly, so I felt right at home.

Right in between both piers gives you a lot of options just on the balboa peninsula, or just a straight shot to the beach! Really fun stay

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

Nick was awesome answering all the questions we had. The place was perfect for my daughter and I to have a great weekend away. Thank you

Joseph and Lisa were very responsive and kind! Their home accurately represented the photos and listing. We really enjoyed the outdoor balcony for the sunset. The bed was very comfortable and the amenities were in pristine condition. My friends and I enjoyed our stay and the complimentary welcome snacks and coffee machine. We will be back! :)

Our family had a great stay at Ron’s place. It was impeccably clean and beautifully furnished. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely book again. Walking distance to great restaurants and shops. Also a short walk to the ferry to get to the beach.

The place has a nice environment and was generally comfortable. Parking was easy, which was a big plus. However, getting in was a bit tricky — you have to enter through the balcony, which was a little complicated. It also takes a few minutes for the hot water to come on in the shower, and the water pressure is just average. I recommend bringing your own shampoo and body wash, as the provided toiletries had a strong, unpleasant smell and didn’t seem to be good quality, so we didn’t use them.

This is our second year staying and we love it every time!!! The place is beautiful and so peaceful. We love all the amenities and it was so easy to get in and out. Communication with Sharon and Justin were amazing! Thank you! We will be back again next year!!!

Only recommendation Let people know cant get in till 4 exactly. Got there at 3.57. Combinations did not work until 4. Everything else great

We had a great stay! The apartment was lovely and comfortable. It was near to places and people that we wanted to see while there. Cynthia was a very helpful and friendly host!

We had a great stay, perfect place for a getaway and it was everything we expected. Rebecca is very quick to respond to any questions and was very helpful throughout our stay!

Had a nice stay with Megan, the room had the beach nearby and a neighborhood filled with restaurants to enjoy! Even was able to accommodate us an extended check out, and was responsive when I had questions during checking-in. The only thing I would have to nit pick would be that you have to account for parking as a separate added expense during your stay. A nearby parking garage that had a lot of bad reviews of break-in’s swayed me to use the Air Garage nearby across from the crepe place. Other than that, fantastic stay and amazing experience staying here.

Fantastic place to stay, helpful instructions from the host, impeccably clean and a perfect location for us, as we wanted to be able to visit both LA and San Diego so being between the two made it so easy. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay around orange!

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

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!
