Ssshhh! Our location is a well kept secret! Unique and Caribbean like are several descriptions we have heard. Casa de Balboa your vacation homes year round! Mi Casa su Casa!

Have the BEST of both... the beautiful Newport Bay AND the Ocean!! It doesn't get better than this!!
Casa 229 is the NEWEST remodeled, gorgeously decorated, second-level, three-bedroom/two-bath beachfront Casa. It offers a living room, dining room, and a fully-appointed kitchen (including a professional stainless steel DCS range). The property is 50 feet wide - affording a rather large lengthy travertine covered deck across the width of the property.
Views! Views! Views! Unlike many oceanside properties (with no view due to the width of the beach), you'll have amazing views both day and night! Our premium location is directly across from a beautiful large bay beach (Mother's Beach) - with views across Newport Bay of Fashion Island and Newport Coast. The view is particularly lovely at night with city and bay lights.
Watch the boats pass by from the comfort of your master bedroom, living room - and, of course, from your large private deck (which is great for outdoor dining). The deck also affords front-row seating for the Fourth of July Boat Parade and the world-famous Newport Harbor Christmas Boat Parade.
In addition to our bay front location, the property is just one short block from the ocean boardwalk and pier. And it's within walking distance of many restaurants offering a variety of fare. Enjoy Mexican cuisine, seafood (including the famous Crab Cooker two blocks away), Italian, Sushi, and several gourmet restaurants such as Renato's, Ocean Front, El Ranchito, and Arches at their two new locations.
Walk or bike to Balboa Island, Lido, and the Fun Center, located near the Pavilion.
This home was recently extensively renovated. The floors, including the master bedroom floor, are lovely Virginia Vintage maple hardwood planks hand distressed and scraped. The living room has a lovely sea grass rug atop the wood.
The kitchen has beautiful custom cabinets and granite counters. The decor is upscale beachy with a British Colonial/Tommy Bahama feel with slip-covered furniture and tons of beautiful artwork. It's painted in a soothing neutral palette - designed to enhance the lovely water view.
All bedrooms are efficient, with built-ins in the closets. To add more of a Caribbean feel, the window coverings are all lined Bamboo Roman shades. The master bedroom has sliding doors to the front deck with substantial views! There are two new bathrooms beautifully done in limestone. One is private to the master bedroom.
There is sleeping for six in beds - with a NEW Cal King Westin Heavenly pillow top in the master...and a NEW Queen Westin Heavernly Pillow Top in a secondary bedroom. The third bedroom has two twin beds. A new queen sofa sleeper can accommodate two more guests.
The property is well maintained and always super clean.
Bring your fishing poles! There is a small bay dock two doors away for fishing and loading/unloading passengers. There are electric and motor boats for rent at the Pavilion. Don't forget your tennis rackets too! Free Courts are two blocks away. And there's a great tot lot just one block away!
From the moment you walk through the Dutch door, you'll feel "at home" - and maybe a little pampered at the beach.
To make it the perfect vacation all Casa's have wireless hi-speed Internet, cotton sheets, spa towels, beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, blow dryers, washer/dryers, Weber gas bbq grills, and commercial outdoor heaters (if needed off season). All you need is your food and drink!

I just received this note from a guest presently staying in 229 (Reminder...229 is a three bedroom on the second floor. We do have equally lovely first floor two bedrooms!): Good morning! We are having a delightful time in your beautiful duplex. The decor and design is picture perfect just like in a magazine. You can see your personality in all the little touches that make a place home. We find ourselves not wanting to leave except for long walks and to see our grandchildren and their sports activities. Exploring the area will have to wait until another trip as our porch is to inviting. I also thought I would read all the books that I brought, but we just sit outside and talk or think.......my brain seems to be moving with the slow glide of the boats in the harbor. We are jolted back to reality when we leave so we hurry home to our nest here. I was not very successful as a chef using a gas stove at first but have finally mastered it and baked 3 cakes to keep the kids supplied after school and football. I have a new incentive to stay very active so that I can climb the stairs for future visits. We would love to come when our grandchildren are out of school and coming to the island to surf and for football season.......our pocketbooks may be challenged by the discovery of this great place! I must admit my 69 year old husband looked quite dashing in his white robe sitting on the lovely white couch reading a book as I scuffled around in my white slippers......you have thought of everything! Thank you! Sondra

Homeowner Response:
Thank you Clare we appreciate your comments very much. The Flynn family reserved two weeks for the same Casa July 2010 AFTER spending the following week from their Casa vacation at the Montage in Laguna and when they checked into (I believe a vacation rental) in La Jolla. Most of our guests are returning guests. There is a reason for that!!!

Homeowner Response:
Hi Stuart, Thank you for your comment. We are not the cheapest but you don't get cheap as you pointed out. There certainly is a difference between Casa de Balboa Luxury Vacation Rentals and other rentals. It costs considerably to make those differences and maintain them to the level our guests expect. We are quite honestly everything that you love about a fine hotel but in a home. Thank you for appreciating that difference! Kind regards, Pam
