LUX Beachfront Casa de Balboa 229 - Best Location

Summary:

Stunning waterfront views



The Space:

Casa 229 Bay beachfront 3 BR / 2 BA Upper Unit w 40 ft Deck – Rent with Casa 231 & Adjacent Casas for 5–10 BR – Best Lighthouse & Bay Views



Welcome to Casa 229, your premier Newport Beach getaway. This Bayfront 3 BR / 2 BA upper unit sits on a 50 ft-wide lot with a spacious 40 ft front deck offering unobstructed panoramic views of the bay, including the iconic Newport Lighthouse and Lighthouse Café.



Located just 30 ft from 19th St and Mother’s Beach at Marina Park, guests enjoy the perfect combination of bayfront serenity and beach convenience. The great room and two bedrooms open directly onto the deck, allowing for seamless indoor-outdoor living, while the third bedroom is tucked quietly in the back for privacy.



The street ends in a small dock, perfect for enjoying the waterfront. Paddle boards, kayaks, or small boats can be delivered directly to the beach in front of the property. The beach here is gentle and perfect for little ones. Because the property faces the bay’s inner basins, you can enjoy the 4th of July boat parade and fireworks as well as the Christmas boat parade directly in front of the home.



For larger groups, Casa 229 can be rented together with Casa 231, the other unit in the duplex, creating a combined 5 BR / 4 BA rental. Even bigger gatherings are possible – adjacent Casa de Balboa units can also be booked together, making this the ideal choice for family reunions, wedding groups, or multi-family vacations. The property is also conveniently located near the wedding venue at the end of Marina Park beach.



Inside, enjoy a professional kitchen, air conditioning throughout, and flat-screen TVs in every room, making it perfect for families, friends, or multi-generational groups.

Mi Casa es Su Casa. See you at the beach.



Newport Beach City Permit: SLP10651



Guest Access:

You have total and complete private access to your Casa with a private entry and private covered courtyards for our 2 bd/2ba`s (no vacationing with strangers) and private decks for our 3bd/2ba`s



The Neighborhood:

In addition to our bay front location, the property is just a couple of short beach blocks (a beach block is about two houses..cross one street that divides the peninsula) from the ocean boardwalk and pier. And it`s within walking distance of many restaurants offering a variety of fare. Enjoy Mexican cuisine, seafood (including the famous Crab Cooker two blocks away, The Cannery, and Blue Water Grill), Italian, Sushi, and several fine dining restaurants such as Oceanfront, Nobu, Cannery, and The Dock. Try the new Louies` On the Bay..located next to Billy`s on the Beach!!



We are in a quieter location on the park beach front with the best views and location in Newport Beach. Our street dead ends into a small dock for picking and dropping boat passengers off...sort of cul-de-sac like.



There is plenty of activity including renting paddle boards and kayaks around the corner to be delivered on the beach in front. No schlepping!! Summer recreation camps available on beach.



From the moment you walk through the dutch door, you`ll feel "at home" - and maybe a little pampered at the beach.



Getting Around:

There are plenty of cabs, car rentals, bike rentals, Uber, and Lyft. We are located close to restaurants and shops so there is plenty to walk to. During the summer, the city has a "woody" shuttle that runs on the peninsula and stops a block away.



Other Things to Note:

Bring your fishing poles! The main pier is for fishing and our small dock is for loading/unloading passengers. There are electric and motor boats for rent at the Pavilion. And there`s a great tot lot on our beach.



Parking: We have no alley in back (safer). One car garage included. They will a mminivan or smaller. Height is 7ft.

Please unload before entering and pull in mirrors if needed. 

Plenty of parking both metered (pay station) and non-metered close by on 19th St. No payment required overnight 6PM to 8AM



Interaction with Guests:

Our VIEW Casa's are located beachfront next to one another or in the same duplex building on 19th St. Bay Beach at Marina Park. Our Casita's in back on 20th St. Need more space? Reserve multiple units.



Our office is open 7 DAYS 8am to 8pm. We are also available after hours through email or text.

Response from VrboOwner on 2 Apr, 2025
Although the ocean beach is a block away (short beach blocks), the water and sand are only 30ft away for Mothers Beach. The views, in our opinion and others, is probably one of the best in Newport Beach if not the best. Views are of the beach, bay, boats, Lighthouses (restaurant and play park at Marina Park), Newport Coast, Fashion Island, and the mountains in the background. Turn to the right and there's the lifeguard stand for 19th St. by the first pier. Glad you appreciated it. Hope you return often.

Response from VrboOwner on 29 Jul, 2020
I reached out to Katy to see what we could have done to earn a five star review (4 is great but we know we can do better!). She stated" The place and location were a total 5, the only reason for 1 star less was the confusion during booking. I booked on Homeaway and was the(n) requested to pay on a different site and the fee on the other site did not account for the 1/2 down." VRBO/Homeaway no longer pay owners or managers deposits or final payments when you pay. We are not paid until sometime after check-in. Our system automatically sends out notices of payment due if we are not paid. We send all VRBO/Homeaway/Expedia reservations an email explaining this, to make all their payments where booked, and to ignore our requests for payments if booked elsewhere. Katy did not open her email. We try very hard to inform guests during the process of reserving a vacation home. Thanks for the feedback Katy!!

Excellent property and location

We truly enjoyed our stay here. You cannot beat the location. The beach in front of the house is so nice to relax and enjoy the sun and water without the wind and noise of the ocean. If you’re in the mood for the noise and wind though, you have a 5 min walk to the beach. They have EVERYTHING you need on property for the beach and otherwise. Honestly, can’t say enough about this property.

Thanks so much for your kind words. Actually...it's only about a 2 minute walk across one street for the ocean. Much easier to get to the ocean water from here than most ocean front homes because the beach is so wide in those areas. Here, the water and boardwalk are the closest. That's why we are the best of both worlds!...bay and ocean!! Glad you enjoyed. Hope to have you back soon.

Great view horrible policies

This was a cute cozy stay with a great view minus the homelessness. We had a guy for 4 days sleeping on the beach looking at us like we were inconveniencing him. Hard to pay what we payed and have that liability fished out on fentanyl in front of us for 4 days
Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 17 Sept, 2024
I'm sorry you feel that this was your experience, but it is not quite accurate, nor is it indicative of the area, the beach, nor Newport Beach who spends $56,000.00 per homeless person a year. Due to the Supreme Courts recent decision (June 2024) to give rights back to the city regarding the homeless, the city has been able to develop, enact, AND NOW ENFORCE, NEW (within days after your departure) codes and ordinances regarding the homeless to prevent sleeping, blocking, camping, etc. .anytime of day ...on and or in... any public space including the beaches, sidewalks, benches, courtyards, streets, etc. Because of the new codes enacted just days ago, they have already seen a reduction of 25% of homeless within days. That leaves the city with about 50 homeless in the entire city and that will be reduced as well. This may actually help force the homeless to accept the help they need. During your stay. No one was sleeping on the beach at night. I know..I was there for nearly a month. The police swept/sweep 3 times throughout the evening after the beach closes at 10PM..each night. There was one person on the beach during the day(s) you were there ...sleeping in a sleeping bag. One. This person wasn't doing fentanyl. Nor did they bother anyone. This is a moot point now as they no longer will be able to sleep on the beach or anywhere else on public property. Our beach, Marina Park 19th St Bay beach (Mother's beach), is a very lovely, popular, fun (children's play park midway at the red/white lighthouse), and very safe beach for families and people of all ages. The policies that I believe you reference as horrible, are other city codes that regulate the number of guests in a unit (can't have 20 people staying in a 2 bedroom) and restricts noise after 10PM. This is for the protection, enjoyment, and safety of visitors and residents alike. Every rental, and their guests, are subject to the same policies to be enforced, at the risk of fines and losing their permit to rent, even if they don't pass that information along to the guest as we do.

Beautiful property overlooking the bay

Great location, beautiful property with everything you need for a carefree stay. Owner provided detailed information for local dining and activities. Parking was a challenge for guests but thats to be expected during the summertime. Our trip occurred during an unseasonal heatwave and the property only had fans and portable A/C. It was very stifling, so take that into consideration when you book a place at the beach. Overall we had a wonderful stay at this property.
Stayed 21 nights in Jul 2018
Response from VrboOwner on 3 Apr, 2020
Thank you for your kind words. Unfortunately, although we state that our AC is portable you turned on the heater and closed up the place. The air needs to move for maximum comfort. We provide plenty of fans, installed new high efficiency ceiling fans, installed large solar roof vents to move air quickly out of the attic, which we had heavily insulated (walls too). Most homes here don't have any of this. We also provide a portable AC unit that works very very well for the odd week or so the temps may be higher. Families that have frequented the beach here for decades understand and know what to expect. Virtually ALL rentals in Newport Beach do not have AC. The reason? Moderate temps and the fact folks are here to have doors and windows open to the sea. During your stay the temps at night were 70 (a few days dropped into the 60's) and most of the time during the day in the low to mid 80's. during the day.

Excellent Location and Beautiful Place

We rented this location for a family holiday and it was just perfect - the only thing that could be difficult is the fact that there is only one parking space. We managed this just fine with a little of moving the extra vehicle around a couple of times so it worked out OK. Great location close to everything - Go and just sit back and enjoy all of the great things this area has to offer. The owner was great to deal with - no problems what-so-ever. So refreshing as the last thing you want is problems on your holiday. I highly recommend this property. I would just like to add that it is a FIVE STAR all the way!

Best on the Beach

We've stayed at Casa de Balboa before and will continue to stay there In the future. It's immaculately kept and the nicest place in Newport to rent for a great beach getaway. We spend three days on the beach and three days at local attractions such as Disneyland or the Aquarium of the Pacific (in Longbeach) both times we've been - I would also recommend a great Seafood dinner at the Crab Cooker - only three blocks away. If you've got small children, the beach right out the front door is perfect due to being on the harbor side of the peninsula and has no waves; if you want the big surf, walk less than 60 seconds across the street to the open Pacific. We love this place and Pan ensures that these are the best place in Newport. One last thing, if you love a beautiful sunrise over the harbor - this is the placet stay!

Thanksgiving Vacation

Loved the decor, quality of beds, linens and cleanliness. Beautiful view of the bay and very well appointed! Only complaint: Very noisy street in the am's. City of Newport blows off sidewalks every single day of the week at around 7am. Also the trash on the dock is dumped each morning at 6:30 am with a back up beeping noise. My husband and I enjoyed having the sliding door open at night, but after the early am wake up call, we had to keep it closed :(
Response from VrboOwner on 3 Apr, 2020
Hi Michelle, Sorry for your experience. It is not typical for our little area. I contacted the city and they are picking the trash up later and no longer using the "beep" feature to back up. Since we are located at the beach we have once a week sidewalk cleaning with a blower (Wednesday's) which is necessary to remove sand to prevent slippage. On the ocean boardwalk the city uses a small street sweeper at 6AM every morning for the same reason. During your stay the city happened to install new plants and the blowers were here several days in a row. Again, not typical. All of our reviews will reflect our guests experience of the quiet family neighborhood we have. It is one of the quietest on the peninsula and yet it is steps to the bustling shops and restaurants. We are certain you will experience this upon your return. Happy Holiday's! Pam

Fabulous stay

This property is stunning! The decor is beautiful and interior design thoughtful and well done. My family of five (3 adult sons ages 20-29) were in Newport Beach for a family get together. We enjoyed waking up to the sound of the seagulls and view of the bay from the upstairs balcony. Our extended family has vacationed at Newport Beach many times over the years, and this property is better than every other unit, hands down. The location is ideal. It is a very comfortable home. There were plenty of fans in every room and we did not need to use the portable a/c unit provided. We slept well and enjoyed the relative quiet of the neighborhood. One reviewer commented on the long instruction list, but honestly, it is that attention to detail that keeps this property so attractive and desirable. We hope to visit again!

Absolutely perfect

Due to Covid we had to scrap our vacation to Kauai on short notice and scramble for a more local destination. Having grown up in the area, I thought taking the family to Newport would at least give us some sun and fun, but we had no expectations that it would be as nice as what we had planned for Kauai. But wow were we surprised at how awesome this property and location was. We're a family of 5 with three tweens. The two boys shared a room and my daughter the other room. The layout and space were great and we never felt cramped. The place itself is stunning. Super clean, top of the line appliances, comfortable furniture, a balcony you can spend hours on, plenty of board games including a full poker set, and a view of the water. In addition, the property had everything we needed including new beach chairs, umbrella, sand toys, plenty of beach towels, soaps, shampoos, etc. It was one of our only VRBO experiences where we didn't need to run to the store to buy essentials and the whole experience made it so that we all treated the place with care like our own home. The location is also unbelievable - literally steps from the bay where the local shop will deliver kayaks or paddle boards. And the nice thing is the bay has showers which are steps from the property entrance so you can rinse all the sand off of everything before coming home. And just in case, there's a hose in the side yard to rinse your feet before walking inside. The property is also only two blocks from the beach in case the kids want to catch waves. This is also where there are plenty of dining options and shops. There's a 7 Eleven a block away, a grocery store about a 10 minute block away, and a Ralph's that has a gourmet cheese section that's about a 10 minute drive (this was recommended by the owner and it did not disappoint!). Otherwise, we barely ended up using our car. Finally, Pam was awesome! She was super responsive both leading up to our stay and during our stay. We couldn't find the garage opener and she had someone there with a replacement within 10 minutes (no exaggeration). She also answered emails, calls, and texts promptly as I had a lot of questions given the local situation with Covid. I highly recommend this place!
