10/10
This house has an amazing view of the marina, which also has a nice swimming area. The location is fantastic. Next door is a playground and the Marina Park Community Center where you can rent paddle boards and kayaks to use on the marina. The Lighthouse CafĂ© is also right there, where we enjoyed lunch (and the view). Before arriving, we didnât realize how close the marina is to the beach. Across the street is super easy beach access at lifeguard tower 18 - Newport Beach Pier is just two lifeguard towers down. Restaurants were easily walkable. With the exception of one evening, we walked to dinner. One evening we ate at Balboa Pier, which is only an eight minute drive. Also at Balboa Pier is a whale and dolphin boat tour at Daveyâs Locker (Groupon) - we didnât see whales, but we saw seals and tons of dolphins. It was well worth it. They also offer deep sea fishing. Huntington Beach Pier is only a 15 min drive. Twice we went very early morning to watch the surfers which was lots of fun; breakfast and stores open early. The only things Iâd change would be the availability of beach towels and chairs since this is a beach vacation. They do offer them to rent at an extremely reasonable price, but this is something Iâd like to have included. The water pressure in the main bedroom was extremely low, however we didnât mention this while there so doing so now. Overall, we would absolutely rent this house again. You canât beat the location and view. We had a wonderful time.
