Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 1996
Why the Owner Chose Balboa Peninsula
Location, location, location! After living in San Francisco and New York City a Southern California location where we could walk or ride bikes to everything was a top priority. We chose our building because we saw great potential in rebuilding the original duplex that was built in 1973. In 2007, that dream became a reality when we reconstructed the entire place. One of the things we love most is that there are no two story buildings on either sides of our structure. This allows a nice cross breeze of air to flow off the ocean & through the house when the windows are open. It is also nice and bright!
The Unique Benefits of this Apartment
It is very easy to come in and out of our location. It is in a unique spot between both Newport & Balboa Blvd.

My son, 9 year old granddaughter and I spent 6 days in this lovely beach house. We parked the car and either walked or rode bikes everywhere, with the bikes provided by the owners (a nice cost-saving perk!). While the pictures of the apartment give potential renters an excellent idea of what to expect, they don't completely capture the amenities that the owners have thoughtfully provided or the concern for comfort and convenience that is so evident in each room. We cooked some meals at home, but also enjoyed meals at several restaurants within walking distance, including Mama D's, the Cannery, the Blue Water Grill and the Matahari Cafe, which was especially memorable and highly recommended! Even though a huge number of raucous visitors descended on Newport Beach over the 4th of July weekend, and the boardwalk became a bit too treacherous for bike riding, we decided that the community must have a vigorously enforced noise ordinance because the parties didn't disturb our sleep. However, this particular weekend is probably better suited for young singles as opposed to families. We look forward to returning to this property when we plan our next trip to Orange County! Very highly recommended in all of the important aspects of a seaside holiday!

We've been renting apartments for 5 years, and this is the most beautiful, nicely decorated, well appointed and clean we've been. The place is very comfortable, everything is neat, it looks like a new apartment. Great location, you can walk to beach. A very convenient supermarket two blocks away, and all the appliances needed to cook. Washer-Dryer are very useful. Big fridge and great speed internet. Owners were also really nice! I would definetely come back next time I get the chance to travel to Newport Beach.

We were very pleased with the rental. It was accurately described, the photos gave us a good idea of the condition of the unit. The owners maintain this very new property well and it was superbly clean, quiet and well appointed. We recommended it to friends of ours who stayed in the unit for a family wedding recently. Not only did the place suit our needs, but the owners were helpful in providing details for other area services, including finding a baby sitter for our granddaughter. Great place, great owners! Great spot, close to the beach and all other area services, restaurants, bars and amusements within close walking distance, such as newport pier, Mutt Lynch's, BlueWater Grill, Alta Coffee, Il Forno, Il Gelato and of course the beach. These are only a few of the many attractions. Balboa fun spot, Back Bay Nature trail, Balboa Island, Huntington Beach are all short bike rides away.

We loved this place so much we've been there twice. The description was spot on, photos don't do this place justice. Very clean and well maintained. Owners quicking became friends. We parked our car and didn't get back into it until the end of our stay. Anything you could ever want withing walking distance. I've raved to all my friends and family, don't waste your money on a hotel, VRBO is the way to go. We hope to make a 3rd trip soon.

We just returned from our long weekend at Newport Beach. This 1br/1ba apartment is newly remodeled and very well-appointed. It is on the first floor of a 3-story home. The location is 1-1/2 blocks from the beach - very convenient. Also within walking distance is an Albertsons grocery store, very important since parking is at a premium. Certainly, a lot of thought and attention to detail went into furnishing this apartment. The kitchen is well-stocked. The queen-size bed is very comfy and cozy with the premium bedding. All in all a very relaxing weekend. Thanks, Kirsten, we certainly look forward to our next visit to Newport Beach and another stay in your beach getaway.
