About this house rental
If you love the beach, barbeques, boat rides and sand on your feet all day, then you've just stepped into the coziest of beach cottages on Balboa Island. Our home sleeps up to 8 guests. The first three bedrooms downstairs comprises of the following: Bedroom one, Queen bed with make-up vanity mirror and 1/2 bath. Bedroom two consists of 1 queen bed with full bath, with shower no tub. The third bedroom consists of 4 bunk beds with a small vanity sink/mirror. One bunk on the ground floor and three bunkbeds above accessible by ladder. The fourth bedroom is located outside of the main house on the second level. It is the private primary bedroom and consists of a vanity make-up mirror and full bathroom with tub/shower combination. The house is two houses down from the Newport Beach Bay, where you can see sail boats passing by from the front patio as you sip your favorite beverage around our firepit. Balboa Island is an amazing man-made island with many fun activities to do and tons of shops and eateries on marine Ave. Across a short 4 min ferry ride and you can be at the "Fun-Zone", where there is more shopping Ferris Wheel rides and more. Everything is in walking distance or rent our Evolution 5-seater golf cart to take you all around! After a fabulous day on the beach, take a hot shower in our outdoor patio shower and get ready for the nightlife. Our home provides at no extra charge one kayak, 2 SUPs, 6 beach cruisers, beach chairs, umbrellas and towels. A tradition on the island is having a balboa bar or frozen banana on Marine Ave after dinner. It's a must! The island has it's own fire department, post office, and church. Our guests also have access to boat rentals to take you around the harbor and out to see many of the seal lions, dolphins and whales. This is a great way to see the sights, and the multimillion dollar homes and yachts that outline the harbor. Lastly, we do team up with our local Luxe Sprinter Vans for trips out to the wine country, which is only an hour and fifteen minutes' drive. We have another rental in wine country where you could do wine tasting for the day and enjoy a family dinner there before heading back to Balboa Island. We love it there and the wines and vineyards are terrific. Inquire with Adam and Nikki your hosts!

Everything really is was perfect. I loved working with Adam. Everything in the house was beautiful and I’m going to buy the bed that was in the upstairs bedroom as soon as I return home. Great location.

The host was very accommodating, hospitable, he made us feel very comfortable and welcomed. The home is very well decorated and charming, it's a historical home and we're definitely going to book on our next stay in Balboa Island.

Wonderful visit to Balboa Islabd for a mother daughter weekend for our moms 70th birthday. Despite the weather the cottage was the perfect place to cozy up in the rain and a great location close to shops and only a block off the bay. Lots of room for everyone, comfortable beds and so much charm!
