Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Balboa Island

We had a great stay! The home was spacious, had great linens, thoughtful touches like books for the season for kids to read andwas 10-20 minutes from Disneyland depending on traffic. Worked great for us and my kids loved it. We would return!

We are so happy to have come across Joseph’s place! It is a lovely and spacious home in a great neighborhood. Central to many activities and restaurants. There were no issues to note. Everything went smoothly. Host communication was excellent. Thank you for hosting us!

Great stay for larger families, especially with little kids. Would highly recommended stay if you want to feel at home in the OC! The toys and play area kept my two boys busy while adults unpacked and settled in. The spaciousness between the first living room and the second living room area made it perfect for my toddlers to roam and not bump into things. The huge backyard with outdoor toys made it easy for the adults to enjoy the fresh Huntington Beach air and sun while the kids played. If I could rate 10/5 for Binh and her husband’s responsiveness, helpfulness, and local on point recs I would!!! There was an issue opening the garage door and she noticed it was hard for me to respond to her on the app and she pivoted our convo to text. Her and her husband were so quickly to come by and resolve the issue while making sure we felt comfortable and safe in our stay. She also recommended some very good local restaurants that my whole family enjoyed (and haven’t stopped thinking about 😋

I will totally come back soon, perfect hidden gem for sure. Thank you

Hi Amy, I’m so sorry for the delayed message, but I just wanted to say a big thank you for letting us stay at your place. It was incredibly comfortable, and we had such a great time. My wife, our little one, and even my senior colleague who stayed with us all said how easy and pleasant it was to stay there. If we ever come back to LA, I’d love to stay at your place again. Thanks again for everything, and sorry again for the late message. Wishing you a wonderful day! Best, Yuichi

Great host, easy to work with. Great house, very kid friendly!

Very accommodating for my family!!! If we didn’t go anywhere, there was something to do at the house. So convenient but the star of the week was really the host! Helpful, kind, responsive, clear instructions. It doesn’t get better than that!

Worth every penny. This Airbnb was super comfortable and I loved staying here for my visit. The couch and blankets were so good I’m gonna search for the same blanket for myself! It was the perfect spot for my friends to hangout at and there was plenty of room. I loved the activities that were provided during our stay, such as the garage that had the pool table and TV for us to hangout in. The backyard was so amazing and it was the perfect spot to have our meals at! The bathrooms were splendid and clean. If you are on the fence about staying here, I would say that this was one of the nicest places I’ve stayed at and would highly recommended it! Five out of five stars across the board!

Greta was very helpful and flexible! Her space was nice and clean.

Place was great, decent sized apartment. Parking was rough especially in the evenings and on weekends but we made it work. It is on the main road in San Clemente which is nice for walking to Del Mar street but definitely meant it was loud at night. The middle bedroom was much quieter. All in all, we had a great time & we were thankful that we were able to extend our trip multiple days.

It was very nice amd cozy, had walkable stores and restaurants (even walked to a restaurants that was nearby) has a very safe environment and had no issues, love to stay again in future

I loved my stay don’t get any better than this place close to the highway as well. Clean and quite neighborhood felt safe for sure and the gym pool area a PLUS

Really nice place to stay with family, park place for your car, close to supermarket and freeway quickly accessible

Our stay in Blake and Brenda lovely home was great. The apartment is very quiet and nice. It is very well equipped with all the staff you need to cook, and being Italians that means a lot! We even had a barbecue ready to be used Many thanks again to Blake and Brenda

Would rent again. Perfect 2 bed, 1 bath blocks from the beach and downtown restaurants and shopping.

Great for our stay. it was clean comfortable, functional, quiet and private. loved the pressure of the plentiful hot shower. and was great to have really close car parking. Elisha was really easy to communicate with. wonderful host and place

Sharon’s Newport Airbnb was the perfect getaway with stunning views and a comfortable family vibe… perfect for the 6 of us… The beds made for a great night’s rest, and the place had everything we needed. Being able to easily park 2 vehicles was a huge plus. And, place is within walking distance of many conveniences including a deli and pharmacy.

Perfect space for our family of 3 in a great neighborhood and everything we needed for Easter weekend! John was incredibly responsive and flexible with our stay and communication was excellent. Everything was as described and we would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a great experience, John!

This was an amazing place to stay. So close to the beach, restaurants, stores, and was easy to get in and out of the area. Sam is a great host and worked well with us if anything came up. I would highly recommend staying here.

Great location. Enjoyed our get away and the host was really helpful and responsive.

Really awesome place to stay for Disneyland! It took about 25 minutes to get to the parks and only 18 minutes on the way home. Super clean and it actually looks like the pictures. The 4 bedroom is in a converted garage, it felt homey though. Perfect for our family and we would stay there again!

Eve’s place right across the street from Disneyland was great! The unit was the perfect size, much more comfortable and relaxing than a hotel after a long day at Disney. We had 7 people total; 4 adults and 3 kids (2 under 4) and it worked well for us. It’s a really easy walk to Disney as well. Everything in the unit was perfect and it was well appointed with amenities. Eve was responsive to questions and provided great instructions. The unit was very quiet, did not hear neighbors but could watch the Disney fireworks from the patio which was a bonus. I’d definitely recommend staying here if you’re in the area and would choose Eve’s place over a hotel next time for a trip to Disney.

Rebecca is a wondeful host! The condo is super clean and made me feel right at home. The artsy environment gave off a calming vibe. restaurants, coffee shops and more all within a 10 minute walk. I can't wait to book my next stay here.

Krysta’s place was great and she was a great host. We spent time at Disneyland, Long Beach and also took in an Anaheim Ducks game. Good location. Easy to uber but we also had a rental car so we loved having our own place to park. Comfy beds, homey environment with all amenities. If we are ever back in Anaheim we would definitely stay here again.
