We enjoyed our stay at 129 Opal. We had a great time exploring Balboa and plan to return again.

Pros: The property is as the pictures: modern, updated and beautiful and clean. The location is amazing right next to the ferry to go to the beach and a 10minute beautiful gorgeous walk to the main shopping road on balboa island. There is a really great coffee shop and restaurant one minute around the corner too.
Cons: The management has its own platform off of airbnb which was a bit annoying to use but no big deal. We had one issue that one bed was covered in sand. It’s obvious the sheets are clean but the bed covers are probably not washed after every stay because they didn’t seem as clean. However, when I brought the issue up they fixed it pretty quickly and brought us new bed covers which we appreciate. One other annoying thing was the extensive check out and cleaning instructions - we are already paying at $250 cleaning fee! One of the reasons Airbnb is starting to fail as it’s unfortunately common practice to not let you know until after you’ve paid. We are on vacation!

Great stay and pleased with the location and remodeled place. Our only disappointment was that the air conditioning didn’t work very well and we were hot most of the time. Also, the master bed rolled around on the floor when getting in/out. Seems like a rug under bed would be nice. Otherwise, nice stay!

Enjoyed our stay . During the day in June parking could be hard to find if you have a larger vehicle. However, parking available in evening when most people visiting the island for the day leave. Great remodeled unit.

Definitely made my trip to Newport Beach for a conference much more enjoyable. Great location w a coffee shop and Mexican restaurant nearby. Very quiet at night and very walkable to the little “town” w shopping, dessert shops and restaurants.

Very short garage but we were able to squeeze in diagonally a ford explorer. Perfect location. Amazing kitchen, wish it had some ‘leftover’ items if people stayed there previously like butter or ketchup so you don’t have to buy everything. The new restaurant behind the alley, todos santos is AMAZING. 10/10. Loved playing shuffleboard when there wasn’t a car in the driveway.

Great stay! NBVP was very responsive and all questions were answered. The place was super clean upon arrival and was a perfect size for a family of 3-4. Would highly recommend this location!
