Located in the heart of coveted Balboa Island, this newly modernized home, plus its ideal location, makes this a perfect place to return to after your various sea and land-based activities. Colorful western sunsets and starlit skies will be the backdrop for your evening activities, and during the day there are lots of fun things to do in Newport Beach with attractions focused on families, couples, being active, or being mellow. This home is a fun 5-minute ferry ride across from the well-known Balboa Fun Zone on the Balboa Peninsula, also within walking distance of the beach.

Nice two-bedroom unit, perfect for 2-4 persons with plenty of common areas for meals and lounging. Centrally located on Balboa Island, short walks to waterfront and shopping / dining areas. We had a great stay!
Far enough from the main commercial street to provide a sense of serenity, but a very easy walk to the shops, restaurants, etc., and an even easier stroll to the water!
Very nice stay in a really lovely location. Beds were comfy and was very nice to have fans provided. Had a hiccup with one small amenity and property/owner amended immediately. Would stay again!

Great little spot!
If you are looking for a place to just park your car for the trip, this is it as everything you'll need for a restful and enjoyable time away can be walked to. If you want to venture out further, the ferry can take you over to the main beach boardwalk and even more things to enjoy.

Gem on Balboa
The location was perfect. Bedrooms are good sized and layout is great for 2-4 people.
Such a nicely appointed and spacious condo, on Balboa Island. Loved the easy walkability and the safety. Check in was very easy and the unit was Spotless! Thank you…I hope to return soon!

Whoa Balboa ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
The entire island was absolutely amazing! The houses were impeccable as well as the landscaping! Everyone was so nice and the food was delicious! The ferry to the peninsula was an added bonus!
This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this property and had a wonderful trip. Great location and makes most places walkable or rideable by bike. Will definitely be staying here again. Only complaint I would have is that beach towels weren’t provided as they had been in the past, but there was plenty of beach equipment to use in the garage.
This place is super clean & has great light! We loved this location- super close to downtown in one direction, and the ferry in the other direction! Garage is fully stocked with beach chairs/toys, wagon! Plenty of space to park our car or the overnight bikes we rented! Would happily return!

Modern and quaint
I loved the place. Updated compared to other homes on the island. Perfect size. Very clean. Convenient. I loved it.
Everything was first rate. Very comfortable overall. Property management was kind and responsive to our messages. If I had one suggestion, I would say that it would be to have more soap and shampoo for a 4 night stay.
This 2 bedroom condo is a great get away. We actually parked our car in the attached garage and did not move it till we left.
Everything is within walking distance--shopping, eating, kayaking and jogging/walking around the 2 mile of the island.
The condo was clean with a large living/dining/kitchen area.
I would go back in a minute!!!
Very clean and comfortable. Check in process was very simple. Parking was a great plus. It was so nice to walk downtown and also be close to drive to all the beautiful beaches.
We loved the home and the entire community here in the Newport Balboa Island. Our stay went extremely well, no complaints at all. The home is great and is very up to date. Would truly recommend!

The property is very cute and well appointed!
It’s close to Marine Avenue and walking distance to the ferry. It was great to have garage parking and a washer/dryer as well. We would stay here again! 😀
