About Terri
This was my family's 'beach house'.
I spent summers and weekends here growing up. It is a 'family oriented home'.
Why Terri chose Newport Beach
Immaculate; perfect location on the bay beach where children can play all day. A perfect place for a VACATION. Park your car in the garage and enjoy the view. We are located between Los Angeles, Hollywood and San Diego, all of which have world renowned attractions.
What makes this house unique
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. The home is located right on the bay with views of Harbor Island, Bay Ialand, Balboa Island as well as the San Gabriel Mountains. The ocean beach is an easy walk just 2 blocks away. The covered front porch is a perfect place to watch the ever changing panorama on the bay.

Live the Dream!
We loved waking up each morning to the amazing Newport Harbor views from this home’s heavenly front porch! The craftsman style has been saved through a well planned upgrade and happily conveys the old Balboa feel of the 1930’s.
Morning (coffee time) on the front porch was our favorite time of day. We also loved kayaking, biking, paddle-boarding and walking around the peninsula, Balboa Village and Balboa Island. Just a short and beautiful walk to the funs zone area, ferry and the pier. The house has plenty of space, and everything you need. Nothing was missing. The kitchen has updated appliances and a big plus was the indoor washer and dryer. :) Terri was fantastic at assisting us with the house and the surrounding restaurants etc.
We have known about this home for years and we finally got our chance to experience it! Thank you Terri! We hope to come back soon.
Perfect Beach House for Weekend Getaway
Perfect weekend getaway spot for a small family. The location and views are top notch; could not have asked for anything more. Terri was a fantastic host. She met us at check-in to show us around the house and make sure we had everything we needed, then left us alone to enjoy our trip. The house itself is complete with amenities that allow for a comfortable stay. The little beach area behind the house was perfect for our toddler.Tons of shops/restaurants/bars within walking distance.
AWESOME!
My family stayed at the Balboa house after Christmas and it was AWESOME! It is better than the pictures. The kitchen is updated, the house is immaculate and the VIEW is the best. You can stay on the front porch forever. We walked to the fun zone, to the beach, we rode bikes that were provided and we sat and watched the yachts and sailboats. Terri met with us and was very helpful. The whole experience was very peaceful and yet we were near all of the action. I can't wait to stay at this house again. Thank you Terri.
That lovely porch
Long-time friends joined us for a week. We started out on the porch, enjoying the magical late-afternoon light on the water as we enjoyed each others' company. The home interior is charming, fresh and inviting. I could stand in one place, turn around and see something new with each turn. The kitchen was well-equipped, and we liked the expandable dining table. Did I mention the porch? It spoke our language, "slow down and enjoy": coffee in the morning, people-watching (and boats!), naps on the chaise lounge, and a shared bottle of wine at sunset.
The Best
This is my dream house. Perfect in every way. Terri was amazing and helpful and kind.
It really has everything you need...and more. Had a blast on the kayaks. Rode the bikes
to coffee in the morning and the jetty in the afternoon, but there's really no reason
to leave this house. Thank you again for sharing your home with us. Very gratefully, Patrick
Amazing Vacation Rental!
My family and I had such a great week in this house! It is in the perfect location on Balboa Pennisula with everything you need within minutes. You have a beautiful view of the bay from the living room and porch and the beach right out front. It is a short walk to a kids fun zone, restaurants, Island Ferry, and ocean. The owner Mary and her daughter Terri are wonderful and the place was immaculate with everything you could possibly need. All we had to do was buy food. Hopefully we can stay here again in the future. I highly recommend this place!
Map
We have it all. We are about 30 minutes from Disneyland; 40 minutes from Knotts Berry Farm; about 1 hour from Los Angeles attractions such as Getty Museum; Hollywood; Universal Studios, California Science Center. San Diego is about 80 miles South with its zoo, Sea World; Wild Animal Park in Escondido (outstanding, my favorite), Lego Land in Carlsbad (about 60 miles) No pets, no smoking on the premises.
