About this house rental
Our house is located on the Peninsula of Newport Beach, CA. We are approximately halfway between the Newport and Balboa Piers. You walk from the front door onto the sand, and can ride or run the boardwalk for miles in both directions. We are situated in an ideal spot, in a quieter area of the Peninsula. We are within walking distance of each pier, and a short walk from downtown for dinner and games at the Fun Zone. There is even a ferry right there to take you over to the famous Balboa Island.
Once off the ferry (with a car , bicycle, or by foot) it's just a short way to the main street of this enchanting island. Loaded with lots of shops and numerous wonderful places to eat. No visit to the Newport area is complete without a day or two over at Balboa Island.
Our house itself is very unique. We have an upside/down configuration in that our kitchen and dining area are on the second floor, so that you can appreciate the spectacular views of the ocean while doing your cooking. Speaking of, there is a big gas BBQ on the front porch where it's delightful to have dinner with everyone enjoying cocktails. Plenty of sightseeing to do with the boardwalk right there. The sunsets are spectacular night after night. Outside the upstairs den is a deck with equally great ocean views where you can hide away to take in the beauty of Newport. The beautiful Pacific Ocean is your front yard. What more could you ask for from a vacation? Please enjoy our home!

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
This is the 5th or 6th time we’ve stayed at this property and we plan to keep coming back! We stay on Balboa a couple of times a year every year and this is our favorite spot.PROS: - the location right on the boardwalk between the 2 piers- the unobstructed view of the ocean from the upstairs kitchen and living room- the parking, a spot in the garage and another in front of the garage- walkable to both piers, multiple coffee shops, restaurants, and surf shops- the property is very clean and everything is fully functional- new A/C works great in every room- the host, Chris, has excellent communication and is always helpfulCONS- if you want new and remodeled, the decor wil disappoint you
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
Good for family vacation. 4 bdrms and comfortably slept 8. Couch pull outs not so comfortable. Bring air mattresses or fold out cushion bed. Close to Balboa Fun Zone / pier
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·May 2024
If you are looking for a beach type cottage home, oceanfront, near balboa pavilion and pier, where you can relax and have fun, this is the place for you. It is also the perfect vacation spot if you have children.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Dec 2024
The home is located right next to a cute cafe and beach volleyball, a short walk to the pier and bonfire pits. We had a lot of fun enjoying the bikes provided. I wish they would replace the sofas, mattresses, blankets, and linens. I saw several other reviews mention this before I booked but was hoping it was taken care of. While fresh bed linens are provided and sealed upon check-in, note that you will have to make the beds yourselves. Also, the blankets have some staining.A deep cleaning and refresh of some key furnishings would do this place a lot of good.
