Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Crystal Cove, Newport Beach

We had a great time on Balboa Island- the place was comfortable and clean, and the host was very easy to communicate with.

Such an amazing place to stay on the island. Memories made!

Fantastic stay at the Marvel house!! It was amazing with such great theming, lots to do, great scavenger hunt, and a super host! You must stay here and the grand kids loved the arcade games, heated pool, and movie room,etc…too much to mention….

This cottage is fabulous! Cleanliness, location, decor, linens all 5 star. Highly recommend if you are looking for the quintessential beach cottage steps from Shaw’s Cove and all Laguna Beach has to offer!

We spent three nights at this beautiful beach house near Newport Beach, and it was an incredible experience. The house is situated right on the beach, so we started each day with a morning swim. It strikes the perfect balance between luxury and coziness, with large windows that flood the space with natural light and offer breathtaking ocean views. The main bedroom is semi-open, connected to the living area without full walls, which adds to the open, airy feel. The bed was spacious and very comfortable. One thing to be aware of is the steady stream of people walking, jogging, and biking just in front of the terrace—it adds some background noise, but we knew to expect it. Overall, a fantastic stay!

This was probably our favorite Airbnb we’ve stayed at to date! Amazing location, you are literally steps from the beach. Newport is such a great area!Took a short 10 minute walk to pick up coffee and bagels in the morning, and ate on the private upper deck. Beds were super comfortable! Hosts were always friendly and responsive. Would highly recommend, easy 5 stars all around. Thank you!

Perfect stay for our weekend in Hollywood. Walking distance to all of the clubs we wanted to go to, and So peaceful. The jacuzzi area was SO nice. We could have spent our whole trip out there just enjoying the view. We basically lived out there when we were “home”. Communication was perfect, making our checkin, and our stay, stress free. Would 100% stay again!

Our stay in Temecula was an absolute dream! This Airbnb truly felt like home from the moment we arrived. Everything was spotless, and they've thought of every amenity you could possibly need. The views were breathtaking, and the sunsets? Simply unforgettable. We loved everything about our time here!

Beautiful Airbnb! Looks just like the pictures and it was clean, comfortable and very cozy. Thank you for a beautiful stay and offering your recommendations. Really enjoyed our stay here. The bed is super comfortable and we loved how thoughtful everything was designed.

Great stay! There is everything you could possibly need for a beach stay. Pam was so helpful and had lots of good suggestions. The location was perfect. Just a block and a half from the beach and the neighborhood was quiet. Bed was super comfy and the space was perfect. Didn’t use the patio much but that also was a nice addition. Will def be staying again!!

We had such a wonderful visit to this home & island. It’s so unique and we truly felt like we were “islanders” during our stay. It met our needs perfectly and we enjoyed having the Dutch doors open & patio to relax on. We biked to the ferry & explored the peninsula. Good food & vibes at Mutt’s Lynch. We also drove down to Laguna to the 1000 steps beach, so pretty! Stopped at Trader Joe’s for salads & snacks. Crystal Cove and dinner at the Beachcomber took us back in time- don’t miss this!

A quaint little house, with a short walk to the beach. The area is beautiful to walk and close to restaurants. Great stay.

Wonderful spot. Quiet and peaceful. Easy access to highways/amusement parks. Walking distance to restaurants and beaches. Would highly recommend if you are planning to stay in the area.

The Starfish Cottage exceeded my expectations! Super cute and cozy, great location, and hosts were friendly and responsive. I really appreciated all the thoughtful details they put into the space, from providing a few snacks, to having blankets to use outside on a cool night. I will definitely look to book this property again if I am ever in the area.

I had a great stay at this Airbnb. The location is perfect—it’s in a nice, quiet neighborhood, but still just a short walk to tons of restaurants and the beach. The place itself was very clean and had plenty of space to relax. The bed was super comfortable, and the couch was great for lounging too. Anytime I had a question, the host was quick to respond and helpful. Overall, a really comfortable and convenient spot. I’d definitely stay here again!

This little place was perfect for my family. Super cute and clean. Had everything we needed and was close to everything!

Very amazing experience with these house. And immaculately clean property. Felt safe. Great location and great view. Would definitely stay again.

Thanks for a great stay in your fabulous condo!

Tiffany is an incredible host. She is easy to communicate with and was proactive informing you of what to expect, easy instructions both checking in and out, as well as recommendations. She answered any questions I had in a timely matter to. The golf cart is a great addition as well to easily get to Avalon. Bottom line up front everything was very simple so that my girlfriend and I were able to fully enjoy our stay on the island. The villa was beautiful just like the pictures. It was very clean, comfortable, and welcoming. I highly recommend booking with Tiffany at her villa in Hamilton Cove. Just a heads up if you’re going to eat on the balcony don’t leave any food unattended for a second or the birds will swoop it. They’re watching and waiting for an opportunity. Happened to me lol. Thank you again Tiffany for making our trip so much easier to enjoy.

I’ve come to Catalina a few times in my life, and this trip was by far the best one because I stayed at Trevor’s place. Hamilton Cove is stunning, and it’s awesome that it comes with a golf cart.

Paul's Airbnb had a pack n play and pool/beach equipment, which was so helpful for our family beach vacation. The apartment was beautiful and spacious. We loved the pool and the walkable distance to downtown Oceanside. We loved being right on the beach. Everything was just what we wanted and the host was very communicative and helpful. Great trip, thank you!

Fantastic place to stay, helpful instructions from the host, impeccably clean and a perfect location for us, as we wanted to be able to visit both LA and San Diego so being between the two made it so easy. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay around orange!

Very clean. Location was fantastic (less than 5 min walk to the beach). Especially loved how the place has plenty of beach chairs.

The place is really nice and super clean to stay. 5 star ⭐️ recommendation!
