Location: Balboa Peninsula, Newport Beach, Orange County, California, USA (Steps to Harbor & Ocean Beaches) View Map
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 9)
This clean, bright, original, beach cottage on the Balboa Peninsula was built in 1914. Though updated, it still maintains a great, casual, "beachy" character that makes everyone comfortable. Walk in & relax. We have everything you'll need to make your stay memorable. Returning guests have enjoyed our house year after year.
It is on a very quiet, residential street but just around the corner from a coffee bar, gourmet market, family Italian restaurant, barber shop, NHYC, and our local library.
Walk one block to the Pacific - wide ocean beaches, stretching for miles. Or enjoy the sun & the safe bay beach with your small kids. Walk along the bayfront, five minutes to the small resort town of Balboa with restaurants, food stands, and shops for every taste and budget, and activities for everyone in your group. Rent bikes or boats, play arcade games, ride the Ferris wheel, walk out on the pier, or take the ferry to Balboa Island or the "Flyer" to Catalina Island for a wonderful adventure.
You may not need a car all week or you may want to take a day trip to Disneyland (1/2 hour), Sea World (1 3/4 hours), Long Beach Aquarium (1/2 hour), Laguna Beach (20 minutes), or Los Angeles/Hollywood (1 hour). We are 15 minutes from Univ of California - Irvine, 15 minutes from John Wayne Airport (SNA) or 1 hour from Los Angeles Airport (LAX).
A great place to relax with friends & family!

Why the Owner Chose Balboa Peninsula
Our family lived in this house for 20 years. We know & love the beaches & the town. We are happy to offer this same beach house experience to others. The house has been renovated but remains cozy & casual.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Walk in & settle down. Relax at the house, watch boats from the front porch. Or head to the beaches just a few houses away. A 5 minute walk to town brings you to the Balboa ferry, the "funzone", restaurants, shops.
We should have everything you need to make your transition to our casual beach lifestyle.
