The main level provides a beautiful living room and fireplace, dining room, kitchen, and large private patio adjacent to the boardwalk, with direct access to the beach!

DOGS * Dogs are prohibited on the beaches of Balboa Island between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. All dogs must be kept on a leash at all times (not to exceed 6 feet). In Newport Beach you are required by law to carry a bag or container for your dog nuisances at all times. Fines are $100 - $500 for dog nuisances not picked up. Please place your used dog waste bags in your own trash can (not your neighbor’s) or in the city’s on the boardwalk. The Association (not the city) provides dog waste bags at 16 dispensers around the island. Please take no more than 2 (two). Dogs are prohibited in the Balboa Island Park (on Agate Ave.) at anytime. Please keep them off the grass! * BEACHES * All beaches on Balboa Island are public. Alcohol, littering, and smoking are not permitted. * BOARDWALKS * Bicycles, skateboards and scooters (which fall into the skateboard category) are prohibited from the Island boardwalks and Marine Avenue. For the safety of all, please keep to the right, pass on the left. If you walk your dog on the seawall, walking counter-clockwise is appreciated (“Be polite, keep to the right”). Smoking or alcoholic beverages are not permitted on the boardwalks. * CONSTRUCTION HOURS * 7:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on weekdays. Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. No construction on Sundays or holidays (per municipal code this includes residents producing loud noises). * REFUSE COLLECTION * Wednesday is trash collection day on the Island. CR&R Environmental Services (CR&R) has assumed residential trash collection services for the city. Refuse is not collected on the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. If the holiday falls on a weekday, refuse collection will be delayed by one day for the remainder of the week. Contact CR&R for further information: 866-949-9694 csnewport@crrmail.com or their website at crrwasteservices.com. Picking through other people’s trash is illegal in Newport Beach.

Please use the refuse containers at the many locations around the Island for your drink containers, doggie walk bags, and other personal discards. Littering of cigarette butts is a penal code violation; they are not biodegradable and often end up in the bay and on our beaches. * NOISE * Please be considerate of your neighbors. Houses are very close together and sound travels on the Island more so than in less dense communities. There is a city Loud and Unruly Ordinance. Fines begin at $500 (up to $3,000) for gatherings over 8 people that disturb the peace, safety, and quiet enjoyment of residential properties. * CURFEW * The curfew in Newport Beach for persons under the age of 18 is 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. every night. * SPEED LIMITS * Be cautious at all times. 25 MPH (streets) 15 MPH (alleys) or what is deemed safe.

Allowing water (especially soapy) to drain to gutters that lead to the bay is illegal. Even “biodegradable” soap is harmful to our bay as is invisible brake dust.

Fines from $100-$500. * DUCKS * A law forbids feeding the ducks and other birds on the Island. * SIGNS/SALES * Garage sale or announcement signs are allowed on private property only per municipal code and are not permitted on public property (sidewalks; streets; center medians; lamp posts).

Birthday Weekend
We rented this beautiful home for the weekend to celebrate our daughter’s 18th birthday and it was a DREAM! The location is great and right near the pier and local shops and restaurants. The home is right on the boardwalk next to the sand, and it is a dream home! We had coffee in the morning and sat outside and watched all the runners and bicyclists passing by., went to the beach during the day and the home has a ton of towels and beach equipment ready to use. Just wake up and walk out your front door and you’re there! The home has a parking garage that fit our two cars just perfectly and it also had bikes and beach chairs inside. The bedrooms were comfy, clean and well decorated and had plenty of amenities. The best part? The AC! So nice to be able to put it on especially during the heat wave. We were able to go to a nice dinner nearby and then come home and have cake and celebrate. The teens ran around outside doing all of their “Instagram worthy” photos and really enjoyed the sunsets each night. The host was great to communicate with and easy to message. This was the best home to have a group in and we will definitely be back!

Absolutely STUNNING property! Location, Location, Location this is the place! Family time taken to a whole new level enjoying this property. From sitting on the porch and enjoying the California sunset to walking (or riding bikes) along the boardwalk, to taking the ferry to Balboa Island, every moment was a moment we will cherish.

Long Weekend
We stayed here over the Labor Day weekend. There were 14 of us. We all had plenty of space to hang out and everyone felt comfortable. There are enough beds for everyone. We really enjoyed sitting outside. We also swam in the ocean just in front of the house. The house is definitely very clean. It has everything we needed, plenty of towels, the kitchen is fully stocked. The host texted me as soon as I arrived, and was always responsive during our stay. We will definitely be back.

The house was a perfect pick for our family of 6 ranging in age from 21 to 78! The location on the beach was amazing and fun. The house was very comfortable and exceptionally clean. We were also impressed at the generous amount of bath towels, beach towels, chairs, umbrellas and toys. The local VBRO property manager was in touch with us soon after we checked in and made it clear that she was available should we need anything.

Fabulous
This VRBO couldn't have been better for our family. We have no suggestions to improve. The family used all the bikes. We really appreciated the kids toys and being across from the beach as we had twin boys (2 years old) here from Switzerland. The bed in the closet was a nice surprise for the boys. The host was easy to contact. The kitchen was well furnished. Plenty of towels.
One suggestion--if possible don't check in Saturday or Sunday as parking is really tricky. We arrived for 4:00 check in and asked the cleaning lady to move her truck over so we park in the garage. (The garage is roomy for 2 cars.) My California families tell me that they are use to difficult parking. Once they were in the lot, they were fine. Easy the rest of the week.
Thanks again. It was a great stay.

On the beach
We appreciated this beach house being one complete house, not separated with a front and back unit. We had a couple of toddlers with us that enjoyed the sand toys. We used the crib and the pack n play provided from the home. The large dining table and living area (with two sofas and two loveseats) were great for family conversations and games. Beds and bedrooms were very comfortable. plenty of bathrooms for our group. We never used the beach cruiser bikes, but there were six on property. There were a few beach chairs, but the two we tried to use were a little broken. We all loved the real hardwood floors in this property. So glad they haven’t really been replaced with something cheap. It’s a beautiful home right on the boardwalk. One thing to note- the sand in front of the home does not have a gradual slope to the ocean. There were two steeper sandy drops to get to the water. Not that big of a deal, but it does not have a gradual transition from the ocean to the sand. We’re hoping to come again with warmer weather.

This house is in a perfect location on the beach and just close (but not too close) to the Balboa Ferry and the restaurants on the Peninsula. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the house and all the amenities (especially the bikes!).
