Beautiful sunsets and awesome panoramic views await you just steps from this Newport Beach vacation home on the Balboa peninsula. This vacation home is the lower unit of a duplex and is one house away from the sand, walking distance from park, basketball court, tennis court, and Newport Pier on the boardwalk. This is not the typical vacation rental. The house is clean and comfortable. The lot is 50% larger than normal. If you enjoy music, the property has a state of the art audio / video system. Wireless internet also provided. If, you have small children, the house has been professionally child proofed.
A sliding glass door opens up from the living room to the patio area where you can read and relax while enjoying the ocean breeze on the 600sq foot tiled patio.
If you enjoy eating out, there are 50+ restaurants within walking distance. Our guests are always happy with the accommodations. My favorite activity is sitting on the patio with a newspaper and watching everyone riding, roller blading or just walking by. Property Address: 3710 Seashore Dr. Newport Beach, 92663
In summer, winter, spring, or fall, this NON-SMOKING vacation home is definitely all about location, rest, and relaxation. Step out to the ocean and watch the dolphins swim by or enjoy views of Catalina Island.
Master Bedroom has King bed. Second bedroom has two single beds and a third single pull out (trundle) under the single by the window. In addition, basic starter kitchen, bathroom and laundry supplies are provided. There are no silly extra fees for laundry, cleaning, linens, etc...
The house is professionally cleaned after each guest. In the summer we enjoy opening the windows and letting the ocean breeze roll through the house.
This vacation home includes a carport and a second car can park behind the carport. The property also includes boogie boards, beach chairs, beach towels, umbrellas, beach toys, and coolers..
You will be walking distance from great restaurants, live music, and shops in the heart of the peninsula. If you are looking for activities, there are plenty to choose from - walking along the ocean, biking, roller blading, boogie boarding, surfing, sailing, boat rentals, whale watching, trips to Catalina Island, fishing, shopping at Fashion Island or South Coast Plaza and more.
This rental is just 15 minutes from John Wayne Airport, 20 minutes from Disneyland, California Adventure, and a short drive from Los Angeles International Airport, Sea World, San Diego Zoo, Hollywood, Universal Studios, Knotts Berry Farm, Long Beach Aquarium, Queen Mary, Getty Museum, and many other tourist attractions.
Please be advised that this is NOT a party house. My family lives in the other unit.
Have a nice time, use the beach, have a barbeque, get some sun and relax. We hope that you will come stay in our beach house and enjoy all that Newport has to offer.

Map & Owner's Profile
One House to the Sand
Year Purchased: 2000
Why the Owner Chose Lido Isle
I've always wanted to live by the ocean. It brings a sense of balance and renewal to everyone who visits. I chose this property because it a 50% wider lot than the normal property, it is a corner lot with a direct ocean view and it is one house to the ocean.
The Unique Benefits at this Townhome
This property is set up as a home, not a rental. Spices are in the cupboards ready for cooking. No silly extras like paying for laundry. The furniture, carpet and decor and appliances are all setup the way we want to live. We commonly look outside and see dolphins.
Classic Boardwalk for stroll beside the beach. Starts 2 short blocks from property. You can ride on bike paths from penninsula point to Long Beach 22 miles away.
2nd Pier, Ferry to Balboa Island, Fun Zone, Great resteraunts, Location of Catalina Flyer (Boat to Catalina Island), Watercraft rentals.
Owner's Map of Lido Isle
We are a family of four. I've lived on the penninsula for 21 years and in this house for 11+ years. Each year we rent the upper unit where we live for two weeks while we go on vacation. We usually rent to another family wanting to enjoy the beach.

Our family has come to stay here twice now and will be back for sure (Three kids - 14-12-8). The worst thing about it has been leaving. The house is very clean and well stocked with amenities that most places would never think of having (beach towels, chairs and boogie boards to name a few). The rooms are great. The owner lives upstairs and is always very gracious and helpful; Wonderful family. We simply cannot say enough about them and this house. While not right on the beach, you can see the beach from the front patio as it's literally 22 steps away (we counted). Newport is a great place. Our advice is to bring your bikes and park the car. Bike trails everywhere with everything you need in walking or biking distance. We rent through VRB regularly and have had good and not so good experiences. This one ranks as the best without question.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.

We found Robert's place after searching for something closer to the beach than a hotel and it turned into quite a find! Great accomodations...very comfortable and clean. The house was fully equipped and made it easy to relax. The location is unbeatable...the beach and ocean are literally steps away. You can sit on the patio (which is by far the best around in the neighborhood) and listen to the waves on the beach. The grocery store, Newport Pier, shops, etc. are all a very short walk away. We feel lucky to have found this place and look forward to returning soon!
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, families with young children.
