Casa de Balboa is a Five Star property. If this is the first time renting a vacation home... don't fret. Our guests are used to the finest accommodations. Ssshhh! Our location is a well kept secret! Unique and Caribbean like are several descriptions we have heard. Casa de Balboa your vacation home year round! Mi Casa et su Casa!
Have the BEST of both... the beautiful Newport Bay AND the Ocean!! It doesn't get better than this!! We have one of the best views in Newport Beach!!
Casa de Balboa is located on Balboa Peninsula with ferry service to Balboa Island. The peninsula is primarily divided by one road, Balboa Boulevard, with a short block on either side with the ocean or bay.
Views! Views! Views! Unlike many ocean side properties (no view due to the width of the beach) you have amazing views day and night! The water and sand are only 30' away!
We have a premium location 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 living room, and of course, from your large private front courtyard (which is great for outdoor dining). The courtyard is covered and walled (with beautiful gardens including star jasmine and gardenias) on both sides offering a feeling of privacy and unmatched coziness while enjoying the gorgeous full bay and beach views. It also affords front-row seating for the fourth of July Boat Parade and the world-famous Newport Harbor Christmas Boat Parade.
Casa 231 is a beautifully decorated lower level beachfront Casa. It has two bedrooms, two bathrooms on a 50 ft wide lot (most beach lots are 25-30 wide) so you don’t have that bowling alley feel…in addition you will significantly more outdoor space.
This home was recently extensively renovated. The interiors are beautifully decorated with hand-scraped distressed wood floors through-out.
The living room is large with a wall of sliding glass doors opening to the courtyard and the beach and bay views beyond. The decor is a British Colonial meets Tommy Bahama theme. The furnishings are upscale beautiful white slip-covered sofa, chair and a half, and Martha Stewart rattan for maximum seating and comfort. There is a beautiful West Indies armoire that houses the flat-screen tv, dvd/vcr players.
The large gorgeous gourmet kitchen has all stainless steel appliances including a professional DCS range, granite counter tops, and custom cabinetry. The kitchen is open to the living room and has sit down views from the unique round granite bar area. There is a laundry and pantry off the kitchen.
There is sleeping for four in beds. The master has a queen bed (Westin Heavenly pillow top). The second bedroom has a twin daybed with a pull out twin that rises to standard height. There is a small roll-away that can be provided for a 5th guest.
Both bedrooms have built-ins in the closets (Master has a walk-in) to provide organization and more space.
The casa is painted in a neutral color, enhancing the lively furnishings and artwork. The French doors and swing-in side windows are covered with white wood blinds and open to the large rear courtyard with beautiful gardens retained by a stone covered and capped wall.
The baths, one private to the master, are all new with beautiful limestone, and beadboard (second bath).
Both bedrooms are perfectly decorated opening out to the huge rear courtyard with inviting Gardens.
In addition to our bayfront location (the water and the sand are approx 30" away!), the property is one short block from the ocean boardwalk, pier, and walking distance to many restaurants with a variety of fare including Mexican, Seafood such as the famous Crab Cooker, The Cannery, and Blue Water Grill, Italian, Sushi, and several fine dining such as Ocean Front and the Arches.
For those with children, weekly summer programs are held at our beach, such as sailing, sailing/tennis combo, kayak, and swimming (Newport Beach has won water quality control awards). Our beach, as well as our ocean beach,is tested each week.
Walk or bike to Balboa Island, Lido, Cannery area (Blue Water Grill, The Arches, Alta Cafe, and the Cannery restaurants plus small antique and other shops, and the Fun Center located near the Pavilion.
Bring your fishing poles! There is a small bay dock two doors away for fishing and loading/unloading of boat passengers. There are electric and motor boats for rent at the Pavilion. Kayaks are available for rent two blocks away next to the tot lot park with swings, slide, and jungle gym. Don't forget your tennis rackets too! Free Courts are next to the park.
It doesn't get any better than this!
The property is well maintained and always super clean.
From the moment you walk through the Dutch door, you'll feel "at home" - and maybe a little pampered at the beach. ©
Parking is not an issue. There is a garage for each Casa and plenty of metered (free at night) and non-metered parking.
