Custom materials and furnishings have been carefully chosen for a monochromatic setting that is relaxing, yet energizing at the same time: the perfect combination for any successful vacation stay!

Locals know the three-mile-long stretch with the harbor on one side and broad, sandy California beaches on the other as “the Peninsula.” The Balboa Peninsula has two piers with a view of a shoreline, surfers, and sunbathers spanning for miles. A walk straight down Main Street brings you to the historic Balboa Pavilion.



The Balboa Peninsula has many sit down restaurants and quick food stops for people hitting the sand for a day at Balboa Beach, and the variety of bars and live music makes the Peninsula a regional nightlife destination. Some of the places locals hang out for good seafood and a casual fun atmosphere are the Crab Cooker and Woody’s Wharf. Anglers can bring home dinner from one of the sport-fishing vessels and whale watching enthusiasts can see some of nature’s most beautiful creatures up close, as Balboa Peninsula rentals and adventure boats launch early and often. A trip to the Peninsula wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Balboa Fun Zone, where the Ferris wheel has stood for years!

We had a wonderful stay at this beach house! The home was incredibly spacious and gave our family plenty of room to relax. The kitchen was beautiful and well equipped, making it easy to prepare meals. We especially loved the cute patio. It was the perfect spot to enjoy our morning coffee and unwind in the evening. The location couldn’t have been better, with just a quick 5 minute walk to the beach. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, convenient, and charming place to stay in Newport Beach!

We absolutely had a wonderful time at this home. I was a bit disappointed at first because the description of listing saidEntire home and when we arrived we realized it wasn’t entire home. I guess on I trip description it was stated, so I missed it. It’s the lower level of the home and after our first night it wasn’t that big of a deal and we noticed most homes in this area were upper and lower unit rentals. The location is perfect and neighborhood was lovely. Parking is definitely a challenge but doable with small vehicles.

Great location just a short walk from the beach. Quiet neighborhood and road parking is fine. Well equipped kitchen and super responsive host when we had an issue with the internet which was fixed quickly. We go to Newport twice a year to visit our daughter so would definitely look up this place again.

The property was located a short, five minute walk to the beach in about a 15 minute walk to the pier and downtown area. Surrounded by plenty of restaurants, grocery stores, coffee, shops, donut, shops, etc. everything your heart could desire. Parking can be a bit of a struggle, but it is a standard California beach town so that is to be expected. Accommodations were just as listed in the ad and I would highly recommend. Plenty of dishes, plates, towel, towels, etc. Pretty much plug-in play stay.

Perfect location! 4 minute walk to grocery store. Minutes from the beach. Also,close to lido shopping & restaurants. The host/manager was always there to answer questions. The only thing was the couch was older, small, stained,and uncomfortable. We were there a month & we wanted to buy a new couch. Kitchen was great. Loved the option to have open patio area.

Fantastic stay. Everything in the home was pretty much new and Scott responded incredibly fast for our questions and inquiries. If you’ve got a large vehicle, just be aware that parking is super hit and miss in the neighborhood and the garage is on the smaller side with a steep incline that goes under the house. Super short walk to the beach. Quiet safe neighborhood. We do night walks and it was great. Highly recommend this place. Would definitely stay again.
