Beautiful walkable island. Wonderful view from home and close to all the things you’d need. Comfortable beds and fireplace. We will return one day. Thank you.

This property fit our needs perfectly. We had a wonderful time sitting out on the patio and boat dock. We could not have chosen a better property for our guests. Thank You!!

We loved our stay! We had two families and plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy. The home was comfortable, and a great location! A little earlier check in than 4pm would be nice for people, but we made it work and we will definitely book again when we return! Thanks for everything!

I would definitely stay here again. The kids had a great time running around in the canal at low tide. The beds were comfortable and the patio spaces were lovely. The kitchen is small and not for serious cooking but the grill is excellent.

Kitchen too small for a 4 bedroom. Furniture not beachy or welcoming or cozy. Only sitting area is big leather couch . More seating options in living room would be nice. Big Italian hutch is useless. Place is not pleasing to the eye. Cannot recommend

Wow what a great place to stay for a large group (up to 8 comfortably) on Balboa Island. The apartment has great views at both ends of the unit - a lovely spot facing south to watch the walkers and paddlers along the Grand Canal and a lovely deck with BBQ facing north. The set-up provides a great space for the group to gather indoors as well and the well set-up kitchen allows you to cook at home. Be aware that the houses are quite close together in this quiet, residential neighbourhood. There are plenty of places to have night-time fun (ie after 9pm) nearby. The host was a great communicator, offering access to extra services for the beach as well as beach towels. It was the perfect spot to come home to after a day at the beach, on the links or whatever floats your boat in Newport Beach.

Great place. Perfect location on the island. Elevator on the ground floor so it’s easy to get people and items upstairs. Loved looking over the canal. Very comfortable and clean. Plenty of bedrooms and beds.

very nice place and area. No issues other than not being able to get in until 4:30 PM due to cleaning running late and no wine glasses (actually there were 2). Overall, we really enjoyed it.

Or stay was short but great. The place was clean and had all the amenities we needed. The Main Street is cute with a lovely set of shops. We went out early a couple mornings for coffee and pastries. Would definitely recommend!

Myself and six friends stayed here for Spring Break and it was such an enjoyable experience. The location is superb, the property itself is spacious and has a beautiful view of the canal, and the host was extremely nice and helpful. I would recommend this property for anyone looking for a place to stay in Balboa or close to Newport.

Overall great stay. Great location. Only issue was having no garage parking spot as advertised. Only parking is a very small spot next to garage that is difficult to access and very very small. We had a Toyota Camry and it was a little long for the spot. Plan accordingly.

Our family, 2 adults 2 tweens and a dog, had a great time here at Grand Canal. Locations is great and view is even better. Having a designated parking spot is a great bonus, our Jeep Grand Cherokee fit just fine. We had plenty of the basics to get us through our 4 day trip, plenty of towels, blankets, tp, mini shampoo and bar soap, dishwasher pods and washing machine pods. Phil and his crew at Grand Welcome were very responsive and great to work with. We look forward to our next trip.

First off: there is only room for a small car, one parking spot - the description is wrong. It is only a car port that will fit a SMALL sedan, think Honda Civic size. Second: the patio pictured with couches on the boardwalk is misleading. You have about a 4’ square box that seats 4 people outside the access door to the unit, the remaining patio is the downstairs tenant’s space. Our stay was enjoyable, bedrooms and bathrooms were good, spacious living room. Wifi was tricky, did not initially show up as listed and took a day to connect to the Roku. View from the living room is gorgeous and the neighborhood is very walkable. Being pet friendly was a bonus and I was thankful for the small side yard area because the island itself doesn’t have much potty space for dogs. Of all the numbers provided for contact, I had the mist luck with Phil.

We loved our stay at this home on Balboa Island. The home has a great view of the Grand Canal and a patio that opens to the promenade around the island. It is a short walk to shops and restaurants and an beautiful walk to the ferry to Newport peninsula. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, and utensils. The home is impeccably clean. We would definitely stay here again!

The house was nice, living room was large with a great view. Kitchen was very small and not properly furnished with enough cooking utensils or pans, so bring your own. Nice dining room table but light didnt work so you eat in the dark. Various outlets didnt work the same with various lights thru out house. Beds were comfy and house was clean. Toilet in master did not work. Carport is a joke so you might have to park on street.
