Family-friendly vacation rentals in Balboa Peninsula, Newport Beach

We had a great time staying here for our trip to Disneyland! 6 adults and 3 kids fit comfortably and loved being so close to the parks. We’d love to stay here again!

What a little gem of a house perfect for five of us visiting disney, the hot tub was great after a long day of walking. Disney was about a 10 minute Uber which was a great way to get there. They really decorated it so cute. And we’re very responsive owners Thank you!

We had a great stay, can highly recommend Fabi's house! It is in super convenient location for walking to the Convention Center. The house is a great set up for a larger party and equipped with really anything we needed. Especially great set up in the kitchen with more than sufficient supplies to cook and enjoy. We did not travel with kids but I would expect for them to really get a kick out of the garage-turned playroom with lots of accessories! Fabi is a great host, responsive and very detailed/clear in his communications. A nice size garden offers respite and the neighbourhood is quiet.

This was the second time that my daughter and I were fortunate to stay at Jan andDale‘s Airbnb in Long Beach. The location is ideal for a quiet and private getaway with great hospitality, local restaurants, and shopping, as well as being close to the beach or lagoon and free parking in front of their Craftsman home. The Airbnb is beautifully furnished with vintage decor, They treated us to a bottle of wine, ingredients for a complete breakfast, flowers and treats from Trader Joe’s. Filtered water was plentiful and the kitchen had everything we needed. This place is my favorite Airbnb in Long Beach, but it’s definitely frequently booked. We got lucky to stay here midweek for a couple nights. Ubuntu is a great local breakfast or lunch spot. For dinner, we highly recommend Nick’s on 2nd. Sweet tooth? Go to Sweet Jill’s, but have cash. 10/10 🤩

Whitney's place was as described. We traveled for Disneyland with 2 adults and our 4 kids, aged 14-21. The walk to Disney is a little over a mile, with Uber available if at the end of the day it hurts too bad to walk back. This house is also about 1-2 miles from Target, Aldi, IHOP, Denny's, etc. Many close places if you need to grab something you forgot or stock up for a week. We splurged to heat the pool and use the hot tub, which was amazing after our long days of travel and Disneyland. The host communicated wonderfully via text if needed. Home was cozy, clean and what we expected. If we need an AirBNB again, Whitney's place will be our go-to!

We really enjoyed our stay! The jacuzzi tub wasn’t producing the bubbles and although it wasn’t able to be fixed, I sincerely appreciated ashai being so helpful and doing all he could to rectify the problem. Amazing stay overall!

We loved everything about our stay! Location,comfort, and had the pleasure of meeting the home owner and he was wonderful! Highly recommend if you are looking for a homey get away with relaxing stay! The bed I. Master was better then the heavenly beds at Westin lol 😂 we will be back!!!

Perfect stay . very kid friendly. We felt the pictures didn’t do this house justice it was even better in person. Comfortable beds . Just perfect ! highly recommended.

I had a really nice stay! I was in town for work and traveling by myself. I felt very safe and comfortable. The neighborhood is great, lots of street parking and the home was well-lit outside. The unit is in the back of the main house but is very private and so quiet. The backyard is DREAMY and a wonderful place to have morning coffee. Tony was a great host!

David and Ginger are good hosts. They allowed us to get in earlier than the stipulated time. We made good their home and the easy access to Long Beach. They were flexible to us in exiting the home so we could wait there instead of the airport. Thank you

Here’s a polished Airbnb review for you: Excellent Stay – Highly Recommend! I had an absolutely wonderful experience staying here! The property was spotless, beautifully maintained, and exactly as described. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, making the entire process smooth and enjoyable. The location was perfect—convenient and in a lovely area. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, making it feel like a home away from home. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic stay, and I would absolutely come back in the future. Thank you for an excellent experience!

Lovely little cottage. Comfortable bed and furniture-felt right at home. Such a great place for our dogs with fully fenced yard. Would definitely recommend!!

We just returned from a 5 day stay and couldn’t have had a better time. Laura is a great person and a really super host. The Pacific Coast HWY is 4 buildings down from the house and at first I was worried I made a mistake. But all for not as when you are sleeping in the bed room you are blocked by many 2 story buildings and it is very peaceful and safe feeling. The front of the house is where you park then a gated wall to keep people out and so the kids/pets don’t wander. We left our towels/cooler shoes out over 5 days nothing disappeared, it’s a nice safe area. A huge plus is Laura has all the sand toys, boogie boards, beach equipment you'll need (at least on our first visit, we’ll be back). They have pet stuff too and even though we didn’t bring ours the cottage didn’t smell like animals. Okay now the Beach and Town. It’s amazing, read the history on the walls. The Beach is right there. Everything you need is 10 mins walking on either side. Walk on the green belt to get places. TY

Fine place, nice location and above all, responsive, flexible host.

This Airbnb was our savior. We stayed for two weeks while we were displaced from our Pasadena home due to the Eaton Fire, and I cannot tell you how much we appreciated being in a place that truly felt like a home away from home. The fact that it is sooo dog friendly was a HUGE plus for us, because we evacuated with our little dog. The Airbnb is in a great neighborhood. Beautiful homes, neighbors out walking their dogs, families playing basketball in the alleyway... it felt very safe and welcoming. The Airbnb is also a stone's throw away from a super good restaurant (Ubuntu Café) and Colorado Lagoon, and a short jaunt to Rosie's Dog Beach plus all the great businesses along 2nd street and 4th street. Kate was SUCH a gem of a host. She is extremely responsive and friendly. She also acted quickly when we noticed a few issues in the Airbnb. (Super minor! ie. the entry lightbulb was burned out and something needed a battery replacement.) All in all, I can highly recommend!

This home was perfect for our vacation! Less than a couple miles to the beach. We rode the bikes everyday! Dori was very helpful and communicative! Definitely coming back!

It was a great stay. Very convenient for a disneyland trip, you could walk to the parks if you wanted to. Grocery store/target are easy to drive to and allowed us to get what we needed for our stay. I’d recommend bringing slippers or shoes to wear around the house. Plenty of space in the house. Backyard was great. Overall, it was a wonderful place and we really enjoyed our stay.

This home is in such a cute neighborhood. it's an older home that has been fixed up and is very charming. We chose not to pay for the pool to be heated, because we were just staying for a few nights and planned to spend most of our time in disneyland...as a result the pool was cold! It was February, so that is not a complaint, our son got out as quick as he got in it. The beds were firm, and everything was very clean. The showers had good water pressure and the plumbing all worked as it should. The driveway was plenty big to park two of our cars, it could have fit a third car if needed. The kitchen had good pans to cook our breakfast, and also was very clean. We did a test walk over to the parks when we first checked in, just to make sure we wouldn't get lost early the next day. It is exactly 1.5 miles to the entrance of either Disneyland or California Adventure. Great place to stay, I would book again next time we're going to Disneyland. Thank you Susy!

John’s place was perfect for our family trip!We spent a week visiting relatives in the area. The apartment was well equipped, pristine and easily accessible. We would def stay at John’s place again.

Great place and great location. Enjoyed the stay and would look for it again when in the area.

Beautiful cozy place! Miguel was a super host and his place is beautiful. Clean and quiet. Will definitely be booking again, Thank you!!

Would definitely recommend this house for any family taking a trip to Disneyland. The host was excellent! Very responsive and helpful, goes out of her way to check in to make sure everything is perfect.

The place was quiet, clean and exactly what we needed for our group trip to Anaheim. But the real treat was dealing with Carmen. So nice, friendly and communicative. She went out of her way to make sure we were set up and comfortable. I can't say enough good things about her.

Easy access to groceries store. Nice quiet place. Very welcoming host.
