EXCELLENT Based on 15 reviews Claudia2025-04-09Verified We loved this place! 7 colleagues after a conference, it was absolutely the perfect place to relax and unwind. Adam and Nikki were uber friendly and responsive, would recommend it highly. Molly2025-02-22Verified Loved it! Adam2025-01-27Verified Awesome home in a great location. everything you expect and more. Host was very friendly and responsive. Will return in the future. Julie2025-01-21Verified This was my absolute favorite Airbnb. We all loved it. It is up-to-date, cottagey and cozy. It has modern appliances, comfortable furniture, it is incredibly decorated, & has an extremely well equipped kitchen. Living area is spacious. Lots of windows. The location...amazing...close to restaurants, shopping and water. We highly recommend the golf cart!The private suite is extremely spacious and comfortable. The other bedrooms located in the house are smaller but also comfortable. The one thing that is unique are the bathrooms in the main house. The one bathroom has a toilet & sink. The other bathroom has a toilet & shower (no sink). And the room with the bunk beds has a tiny sink. Adam & Nikki were amazing hosts....always quick to respond and so incredibly friendly & personable. Such attention to details for their guests..soft towels, the soaps, teas, coffee, sugar cubes, etc. I want to return! Claire2025-01-12Verified Adam was a lovely and inviting host!! The house was perfect and we had a great time celebrating my grandmother’s birthday! James2025-01-04Verified Our stay at Adam’s Balboa Island property was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed into a beautifully maintained and thoughtfully designed home that truly felt like a getaway.The location is unbeatable—just steps from the waterfront with stunning views and easy access to all the charm of Balboa Island. We loved strolling along Marine Avenue, exploring the boutique shops, and indulging in the famous Balboa Bars.Inside, the home was immaculate and beautifully decorated with a cozy yet modern coastal vibe. The amenities were top-notch, from the well-stocked kitchen to the plush, comfortable beds.

Lynda2024-12-27Verified We stayed at the cottage for Christmas while visiting our kids and grandkids. It was charming and nostalgic! The island was filled with Christmas lights and very festive! Our golden retrievers enjoyed the walks around the island and everyone we met was cheerful! Laura2024-12-02Verified The beach cottage was super terrific !!!! There are literally too many great things to say, but here are a few.It is gorgeous, the renovation workmanship is fabulous- the bathroom tile, floors, attention to detail are all top of the line. It is decorated beautifully. The bedding, bath products, kitchen equipment are excellent. The extra's that come with the home like bikes, golf cart, scooter, SUPs and more are phenomenal and usually come with a rental fee- but NOT here :) Adam, the host was awesome and communicated every step of the way !! Amy2024-11-26Verified This was a perfect place to stay on the Island. So class to all the perfect places in Newport and surrounding. Very comfortable and spacious for everyone in our party.
