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. But 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!

Perfect spot for a Newport adventure: close to the beach and shopping, clean, thoughtful amenities like beach chairs and towels, good communication and support. We loved our time here!
The apartment was clean and inviting. The kitchen could have had more items for cooking, including a cutting board and mixing bowls. The walk to the beach was quick and easy. Great place to stay!
We really enjoyed our stay! The property had a great location that wasn’t far from the beach, grocery store, eating establishments and some other interesting spots. We could easily walk or drive and get to many interesting destinations in the area. The beds were very comfortable and it was quiet at night in March. The place was very clean with the exception of the couch which really either needs to be professionally cleaned or replaced. It smelled and we needed to put blankets on it to tolerate the smell. Definitely a great little place to enjoy the beach!! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

NPB apartment
We love the property, everything was clean, tidy, and stocked with all the basics. Quiet neighborhood with lots of food, shopping and entertainment within walking distance… and just two blocks from the passionate pacific. We checked in later than I anticipated and the host was quick to respond about questions we had. Looking forward to staying here again sometime soon and would definitely recommend.

We’re thrilled to hear that you loved your stay at 304 1/2 35th Street!We’re glad you enjoyed the quiet neighborhood with convenient access to food, shopping, and entertainment, as well as the proximity to the beach. We look forward to welcoming you back.
O wrall, the property satisfied what we needed. Convenient location, walking distance to stores, restaurants, and other venues. Much better than staying at a hotel. Thank you!
Staying at the property was one of the funniest times ever. A great place to continue our yearly summer trips especially growing up down by the beach and just needing the hometown beach fix. Looking forward to next year already!
We had the best time staying here!! The house was clean and so cute! There was enough room for me and my kids and a few of their friends! The host responded so fast to any questions we had! We would totally stay here again!!
Loved walkability to groceries, restaurants, beach and area. Had a small family birthday and everyone loved it. My only suggestion would be a large non-stick skillet and better knives. Hope to stay again, great value.

Love the Location, pretty close to the beach.
When on a 5 days trip to Newport beach, los this VRBO, the apartment was great, clean, and pretty cozy. Loved the details, location and have a excellent communication. Will used it again for sure.
This was a perfect quaint getaway place that was close to the beach and a perfect spot to end our California adventure! Close to grocery stores and shopping and walkable to the beach.
Very nice 2 bedroom.Ckean and well looked after.Plenty of supplies in kitchen.Great location near beach and plenty of restaurants and shops in easy walking distance.Highlt recommend
Scott was fantastic in answering any questions I had about the property prior to check in, check in was seamless and so easy. We LOVED the apartment! The location was perfect, near grocery store and quick easy walk to the beach. It was clean, well stocked, and so comfortable. The beds and sofa bed were super comfy. We loved the use of beach chairs also. The garage was plenty big enough to store bikes we had rented and the washer and dryer were so nice to use. Thank you!!
Very clean and comfortable. Convenient location. I’d recommend adding side tables to the one side of each bed but other than that very adequately furnished
We truly enjoyed our peaceful getaway to this little beach rental. The property was quiet and comfortable. It was well stocked and clean. It is close enough to walk to the beach and not have to worry about parking. Management communicated well and was open to any concerns (although we had none) We look forward to visiting again soon!
