Have the BEST of both... the beautiful Newport Bay AND the Ocean!! It doesn't get better than this!!
Casa 225 is a newly remodeled, beautifully decorated, second-level, three-bedroom/two-bath beachfront Casa. It offers a living room, dining room, and a fully-appointed kitchen (including a Viking range). The property is 45 feet wide - affording a rather large lengthy travertine covered deck across the width of the property.
Views! Views! Views! Unlike many oceanfront 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 bayfront 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 fine dining restaurants such as Ocean Front and the Arches.
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 maple hardwood. The other two bedrooms are carpeted. The living room has a lovely seagrass rug atop the wood.
The kitchen has beautiful custom cabinets and granite counters. The decor is upscale beachy with slip-covered furniture and beautiful artwork. It's painted in a soothing neutral palette - designed to enhance the lovely water view.
All bedrooms are generous in size, with built-ins in the closets. To add more of a Caribbean feel, the closet doors are louvered and painted white against the beige background. The carpeting is in a sisal-type loom and color. The master bedroom has sliding doors to the front deck with substantial views! There are two new bathrooms beautifully done in marble and travertine. One is private to the master bedroom.
There is sleeping for six in beds (new/newer mattresses) - with a Cal King Westin Heavenly pillow top-size bed in the master bedroom and two additional Westin Heavenly pillow top queens in the secondary and third bedrooms. A new queen sofa sleeper can accomodate two more guests.
Make memories!!!
Bring your fishing poles! Plenty of fish in the sea!
There is a small bay dock for loading/unloading passengers. Perfect place to rent an electric boat to tour the harbor. A local company can bring the boat to you. 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!
Parking is not an issue. There is a garage for each Casa and plenty of metered (free at night) and non-metered parking.
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!
From the moment you walk through the dutch door, you'll feel "at home" - and maybe a little pampered at the beach.

My 4 kids, my wife and I just spent the Holidays in Newport Beach at this location. We had everything needed for a great stay. Sand toys, strollers, Coolers and games for the kids. Outside patio heather for the parents to enjoy. Condo tastefully decorated and such a beautliful location. Pam was great, Stress free all around. We will be back. Thank you Pam. Our experience was everything we were hoping for, Fresh flowers checking-in was a delicate and thoughtful gesture.

We have stayed at Casa Balboa a half a dozen times now. Until now, we have made the main floor our regular spot. This time, we decided to try upstairs. Well, I can tell you that we are now ruined for downstairs forever! Don't get me wrong, we love it downstairs and have had terrific experiences every visit...but my goodness, the view upstairs is breathtaking. Sunrise and sunset, looking out those big windows is an awe-inspiring experience, everyday. As usual, the place was spotlessly clean and was equipped with everything that we could possibly need. We made good use of the gourmet kitchen - we loved the extra space for dining as we had family over for some meals. The bathrooms are spacious and come with ample plush towels. The master bedroom is to die for. You have an amazing view as you lie in your giant, comfortable king sized bed. I shared with my 2 little ones and still had a ton of room! I especially appreciated all of the closet space with built in drawers. It is so nice to get everything out of the suitcase - it really makes it feel like home. We were blessed with gorgeous, sunny weather, so we were happy to have all the beach chairs, umbrella and kids toys to use. - Thanks for being such a great part of our family's vacation. Looking forward to seeing you the same time, next year!

The rooms were very clean and comfortable with all the necessary item in the kitchen for cooking. The view of the bay is spectacular at times with the moon and sun reflections and watching the variety of boats going and coming. It is an easy walk to the beach, boardwalk, and shops. There are many fine Restaurants within walking distance.

I loved every minute spent overlooking and on "Mother's Beach." Watching all the goings and comings all around us, we declared it better than television. I spent summers of my girlhood in the area and our little girls learned to swim and sail in that part of Balboa Bay. Pam has done an amazing job with the quality of the furnishings and equipment. Having rented a beach house once that has ever after been called "the dump" we were so happy with our experience at Casa de Balboa. Thank you Pam and Greg. We are already looking forward to next summer.
Owner response:Thanks so much. We always appreciate the time one takes to write...and the kind words. Truthfully..we are very thankful to have the best properties, location , and views in Newport Beach ...hands down!!! We look forward to your stay already reserved for 2012!

The listing was definitely accurate. In fact, it was nicer than the pictures! The property was newly refurbished and decorated. It was lovely! Everything we needed, and beyond, was available! Our family which included girls,16 and 12, was thrilled. We enjoyed stand-up boarding in the bay and boogie boarding and body surfing in the ocean! A memorable vacation that we would definiately recommend to anyone!

Beautiful and clean rental house! We didn't need to bring anything but our clothes. Everything is provided. Pam left us a list of suggested restraunts which was wonderful. The location was perfect. Quite but two blocks from the pier. Perfect!

We just returned from our stay at Casa de Balboa. We had a great family time the last week of June. As others have said the location has outstanding views!! You are a few steps from the bay beach and a couple of blocks from the ocean beach. Very convenient location to walking to several good restaurants and activities. Also, a very good rental facility (kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, surf boards, etc.) is also within walking distance. The unit is lovely and very tastefully appointed with a nice kitchen (with all the dishes and cooking utensils you need) to prepare meals and good bathrooms and bedrooms. The balcony has alot of seating and we loved sitting out there watching the world go by on the bay. Well equipped with beach towels, chairs and umbrellas too. Thumbs up from us!

Our four-night stay over Memorial Day weekend was terrific. Rarely do you find a rental that looks as good - or is even better - than the photos on-line. Our family can verify that this location and home are as beautiful as they appear on VRBO! The location has a prime view of the harbor. The home is clean, modern, and very large (especially compared to other smaller beach properties in the area). The location is great and nearly everything is within walking distance including great restaurants and water activities. The beach on the ocean side is a quick two block walk. We would highly recommend the area and this home for families looking to get away and enjoy one of the most beautiful areas of the California coast.
Owner response:Thanks so much Bill for taking the time to write. So glad you enjoyed yourselves..we look forward to your return. Pam
