We had a fantastic stay here and truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The hosts were welcoming, responsive, and made everything easy from start to finish.The location was hard to beat. We loved being able to hop on the Duffy and cruise over to Balboa Island, and it was also just a short walk to the beach, shops, and great restaurants. The bikes were a fun bonus and made it easy to explore the area.The home itself was cozy, comfortable, and the perfect place to relax after busy days out enjoying Newport, Disney, and the San Diego Zoo. We especially loved sipping our morning coffee on the patio with a beautiful water view, which made the start to each day feel extra special.Overall, this place had everything we needed and some great family memories were made here. We would absolutely stay here again and are so thankful to Judi for sharing this wonderful place! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great Newport Beach getaway.

Great harbor/beach stay!

Nice 2bd/1ba upstairs unit setup in a great location on the harbor, 1.5 blocks from the beach, and close to the main PCH/Newport Blvd/Balboa Ave main roads around Newport Beach. Extra amenities like kayaks, SUPs, and electric boat to cruise around the harbor made a fun spot even more enjoyable for the kiddos!!

Spring Getaway

We loved it & plan to return. It was fun exploring in the duffy & we spent a lot of time at the beach just a short walk away. This is the perfect location to stay and make day trips to Crystal Cove, Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach and the Queen Mary. Judy & Nuel were so kind & helpful with tips about local restaurants that we could walk to.

Best vacation ever!

This was the most magnificent vacation of all time. The stay on the bay was such a bonus, and just a few blocks from the beach. The duffy boat, kayaks, and paddle boards were so much fun! There is a parking spot in front of the garage. And the owners, Nuel and Judi are so incredible

This is our new vacation spot and we are already planning next's years trip. The Bensons were amazing to work with and took care of our family above and beyond anything we could have asked for. The location is about a 3 minute walk to beach and in a great location. I would recommend this VRBO to anyone going to Newport!!!!

Judy welcomed us in person with full access to patio, bikes, kayaks & Duffy Boat… and birthday cupcakes for my husband. Accommodations are excellent & the Duffy boat scenic cruising throughout Balboa was a high point. You can park the Duffy in public areas & many shopping districts have free boat parking as well. Judy baked my husband a bday cake on day 2 - never have had a more hospitable & friendly host experience. Walking distance to restaurants, shops & beaches. There is so much to do, even our teenagers loved it & never once reported being bored (huge victory!). We look forward to future visits & Balboa / Newport get-a-ways!

Husband’s Birthday

Stayed in the apartment 9/6/24 thru 9/9/24. Very small but if you’re only there to sleep and take a shower it’s perfect for 4 adults. The owners are downstairs but they were very nice. Use the electric boat 2 times. That was very fun. Easy to drive. Take lunch or drinks with you on the boat.
