Located less than three short blocks from the best stretch of beach in town one direction, and just steps from the bay in the other direction, all details have been thoughtfully planned and executed. Probably the most visible – or invisible – features are the front sliding glass doors that retract into the walls, providing a spacious indoor/outdoor mix of seating and entertainment as the front patio blends into the living, dining and kitchen areas. Custom materials and furnishings have been carefully chosen for a monochromatic setting that is relaxing, yet energizing at the same time: the perfect combination for any successful vacation stay!

Locals know the three-mile-long stretch with the harbor on one side and broad, sandy California beaches on the other as “the Peninsula.” The Balboa Peninsula has two piers with a view of a shoreline, surfers, and sunbathers spanning for miles. A walk straight down Main Street brings you to the historic Balboa Pavilion.
The Balboa Peninsula has many sit down restaurants and quick food stops for people hitting the sand for a day at Balboa Beach, and the variety of bars and live music makes the Peninsula a regional nightlife destination. Some of the places locals hang out for good seafood and a casual fun atmosphere are the Crab Cooker and Woody’s Wharf. Anglers can bring home dinner from one of the sport-fishing vessels and whale watching enthusiasts can see some of nature’s most beautiful creatures up close, as Balboa Peninsula rentals and adventure boats launch early and often. A trip to the Peninsula wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Balboa Fun Zone, where the Ferris wheel has stood for years!

Fantastic stay. Everything in the home was pretty much new and Scott responded incredibly fast for our questions and inquiries. If you’ve got a large vehicle, just be aware that parking is super hit and miss in the neighborhood and the garage is on the smaller side with a steep incline that goes under the house. Super short walk to the beach. Quiet safe neighborhood. We do night walks and it was great. Highly recommend this place. Would definitely stay again.

Great location just a short walk from the beach. Quiet neighborhood and road parking is fine. Well equipped kitchen and super responsive host when we had an issue with the internet which was fixed quickly. We go to Newport twice a year to visit our daughter so would definitely look up this place again.

We absolutely loved this Newport Beach location! Very short walks to morning coffee runs, fantastic dining on the waterfront, & even grocery runs. Scott was very helpful with instructions and suggestions for the local knowledge. While we wouldn’t encourage the sloped garage parking, unless you are very experienced; street parking is available with patience and you can easily load/unload in the alley. The open living area onto the patio was our favorite spot while at the home. This place has it all.
