Book a hotel near Newport Harbor Nautical Museum, Balboa Peninsula

"Wonderful staff and service!! Amazing outdoor areas and plenty to do! We will go back! No complaints!! "

"Property was beautiful and unique, right off the beach. Beds were comfortable. One of our 2 rooms had some stains on carpet, but that did not effect our stay. Staff was very nice. Breakfast lack protein, but its still sufficient eniugh. Plenty of dining options near by Recommendation: read all signs regarding parking, time limits, etc. Staff was helpful when we asked about parking, but directions were not clear. If you don't plan to drive anywhere else during your stay, just pay for Valet. "

"Great customer service from all hotel staff. Enjoyed location, experience, and excursions including boat rental."

"We had a great stay! The house was very clean and provided lots of towels for the beach and the location cannot be beat! "

"We stayed 3 nights in this beachside cottage. The location and proximity to the beach was fabulous as were the views of the beach and ocean from the deck. We will definitely stay here again. "

"This home is definitely a winner if you're exploring Newport on vacation. We really enjoyed the ease to the ocean and nearby bay. Excellent quality amenities and well appointed property. Ease of communication with host was also excellent. We did find the AC, TV and fireplace remotes not as user friendly as expected. We got everything working but it has a learning curve.Of note, this unit faces the alley and there is a major home construction project underway directly across the way. Due to construction fencing, the parking for this unit was not accessible twice, once because the cleaners were in shared driveway and the second when the front unit was rented on our last night and their van was in driveway. There are two designated spots for these front and rear units but with fencing sticking out in alley, only one large car can really occupy the drive at a time. We have an SUV, so a compact car might have better luck. We had zero issue finding nearby street parking, were able to load and unload easily in the alley both times, and this is simply our experience and meant to inform rather than deter. The construction noise is fairly quiet (talking, intermittent) but starts early. They are really nice workers, literally everyone in this area was really friendly. For an off season stay like ours, it was all part of the ambiance.The waterfront bliss earns it's namesake. "
