Perfectly positioned between the lively hubs of Newport Beach’s two piers, this central stretch of the Balboa Peninsula offers one of the most convenient and activity-filled settings on the coast. With the beach in one direction and Newport Harbor in the other, guests can easily move between wide sandy beaches, bayfront recreation, local restaurants and shops, and other classic coastal attractions.
Stroll the boardwalk between the piers, enjoy a surf session, or head toward the harbor side of the peninsula for boat rentals, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing excursions, whale-watching tours, and trips to Catalina Island. Leave the car behind and explore local favorites such as Marina Park, the waterfront Lighthouse Café, the historic Dory Fleet Fish Market, Balboa Village, the Balboa Fun Zone, and the Balboa Island Ferry, all within easy walking or biking distance.
For additional shopping and dining, Lido Marina Village and Fashion Island are just a short drive away, offering everything from harborfront restaurants and local boutiques to luxury retailers and upscale dining.

My girlfriend and I chose Newport as the location for a weekend getaway and were thrilled to find this lovely one bed one bath to be our home base for the weekend. Everything is perfectly within walking distance and there is a mirage of shops and restaurants to try in the area. 10/10 location.

Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
We stayed 3 days and each morning there were several (4 to 5) roaches crawling around the kitchen. On the last morning, there was one crawling on the kitchen table. The landlord tried to spray on the second day, but they kept coming. Sorry, but this is nasty. For the price, we shouldn’t be dealing with this.

Thank you for your comments, Jason. We're sorry that you had to deal with pests during your stay. Once we were notified we treated the unit, which can be 24 hours for the treatment to take full effect, and no further pest activity has been noted. We trust that overall you enjoyed your stay, and we hope to have a future opportunity to provide you with an exceptional experience. Kind regards, BVR
The management company is wonderful to work with, and the place was everything we expected (clean, well stocked, and close to the beach).

Very comfortable and clean
Very comfortable and clean. Will definitely consider this place again.
We had a great time. The place was very comfortable but could use some better pillows.
We were in walking distance to every place we wanted to go which was just what we wanted.

Thank you, Mark, for taking the time to share your insights and for being an amazing guest!
We stayed in all three units with friends and family. Our house was the one bedroom, one bath and it was super cute and perfect for our family. Check in was beyond easy and location was perfect! I appreciated all the information that was provided to guide us around the area.
I would not only stay again, but recommend to anyone.

We enjoyed our stay for our son's wedding. Property was a little run down but very clean. Bathroom small, kitchen nice, living area dated. Excellent location to beach. Beachfront Realty easy to work with.

Everything was exceptional. Bath tub too slippery and needs new expoxy coating with sand for stability. Otherwise I would definitely recommend and stay at this rental again. Close to Pier and restaurants 👍😎

Great little spot as a base of operation. Beach and boardwalk were super close. House was nice and clean. Parking is definitely tight and there was construction on both sides so noisy on weekdays. Hopefully that all ends soon :) We felt it was a great value for the area.
