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.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Great location and walkable to almost anything on the peninsula. It is on the main drag, but it's sat far enough back that we never heard a thing. Would definitely stay again!

Nice place to stay in Newport Beach

Nice place to stay in Newport Beach. Short walk to beach. Apartment is small but cozy. It's a quiet location away from main road and being above the garage was great since we never heard the people on the other unit. The outdoor deck with table and umbrella was a real highlight. The apartment has all the things you need for a short stay. We enjoyed it.
