Top ExplorOcean Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Newport Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great Staff"

Coastal Modern Balboa Beach Cottage, Steps from Water 4 BD 4 BA

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed this beautiful home perfect for 2 families and children. Unfortunately it was record breaking hot October weather with no air conditioning. Our host graciously provided probably 15 floor fans to combat the heat. I would love to come back for cooler weather."

Cozy Condo With New AC, Steps from Balboa Ferry and Peninsula Beach Access

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location!!! Everything was exactly like described in the listing, although fighting that shower current was a task! The beds are a little firm for my taste, but comfortable, clean, and rested well each night. Overall great place and would be happy to stay here again in the future."

Oceanfront Escape with Breathtaking Views

10/10 Excellent

"We had a full family gathering for 4 nights. 6 adults and 1 child. Great location and stunning place. Photos accurately show the views and overall very good condition. Kitchen and common areas super comfortable, amply stocked with kitchen goods and beach toys. Even though construction was going on next door and we were made aware of it, it was never an issue. The place is pretty well insulated for noise so even when there was some construction going on, inside was quiet. The people watching along the boardwalk with the ocean view is a major plus. I'd stay again!"
