    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 Favorite Newport Stay

We love this home and come back year after year. It’s clean, bright and comfortable. All the basics and none of the pretentiousness that some OC homes have. You will be relaxed and at home. Long walks at night and a quiet beach just across the street. Quiet area of newport, mostly away from crowds and “party” zones in the summer. Highly recommended!

Best 4th of July

This was the 4th year we've stayed at the house. The location is fabulous! Love the little beach across the street. You can park your car and never move it....just walk every where! There are 3 things that would make the stay perfect, better toilet paper and paper towels and a few boxes of Kleenex! I know it sounds silly but it would be nice. The fireworks display was the best!!! Can't wait to come again!

Great place to stay. Basically very quiet area which is nice. Owner maintains property. Only one problem which was that the screens were broken or didn't fit window. Made my own adjustment so that I could open windows. It's nice to have fresh breeze coming in.

Great location!

Great stay right near beach and lovely view of harbor boats. Easy parking in December, clean and dog friendly. On checkin went to wrong one, as door around side, but worked out fine. Only cons are downstairs unit has thin walls so you can hear people walking above you. Also, for the price, they could upgrade some items. Dishes are old, cups cracked. Bedding, washer/dryer, bikes nd furniture outdated. A small investment could make this better. Generally, great stay!

Beautiful Location

My husband and I loved our stay at this property with our two school-aged children. The location cannot be beat. I could send my kids to play in the bay beach in front of the house and see them from the window. You’re not going to be able to use the garage to park but we never had trouble finding street parking. We enjoyed using the beach cruisers, even though they were a bit aged. We had a wonderful vacation. If I had one criticism of the apartment it would be the thin walls (we had some college-aged spring breakers staying adjacent to us) and thin, scratchy towels and blankets. If you run cold at night, I advise bringing extra blankets. Other than that, we had no complaints!

Except for garage being advertised as holding small compact car,everything else was good..for future,garage could hold a small car,but you would have to move everything out of garage first,then once u pulled in you could not open door far enough to get out of car..very misleading as garage space..

Beach and Bayview

So to my Vrbo friends… This property is an excellent location. You can get around to all the areas that you would like to by foot or by Uber. Newport Beach pier and restaurants, Balboa pier, fun zone and restaurants. You have a great view of the Bay with a Beach, steps from your doorstep and bonus… A couple blocks to the ocean. The house is nicely kept, however, a few things to keep in mind. The beach view management company that helps the property owner, only gives each person staying, no matter the length of your stay, one bath towel, one washcloth, and one hand towel, and a beach towel. As I contacted the supervisor at the beach view management company, she advised You are expected to wash your towels and reuse them, which is OK, but they do not provide laundry detergent. At the price you pay you would think that that a few more towels would be included and laundry detergent, as well as extra toilet paper. So friends, pack, extra towels, laundry detergent, and toilet paper!

Fantastic Location, Minor Property Issue

My family and I had a great time during our stay and the property location was fantastic! It's steps from a quiet harbor beach and 2 blocks from the ocean. The listing states there's a kayak, which was one reason that drew us to this property, but there wasn't one. We rented kayaks a few blocks away. The property was a little dated, but adorable. We had trouble unlocking the door when we arrived, but the management company was responsive. Unfortunately, the previous guests left dirty dishes in the dishwasher, which created an unpleasant odor throughout the property. It was also obvious the sheets in the master bedroom hadn't been changed. I contacted the management company and they apologized, stating that isn't the standard they expect from the cleaning company and they would speak with them about it. I ended up washing the sheets myself and we dealt with the smell by keeping the door open. Despite theses issues, we enjoyed our stay and absolutely loved the location.

Location is Everything

Our family of 4 stayed in early October. If you've never stayed in this area before you should be prepared that the homes are extremely close together and many of the ally's and walkways are shared. Also, it is not unusual for the homes to not have air conditioning, so know before you go that this is the norm in this area. The location is truly perfect. The beautiful bay is just steps away and can be seen from your living space (when cars aren't parked in front of the house). The bay is great for launching paddle boards and kayaks or just lazy lounging by the water (you can also swim here but the entry is a little mucky). Behind the house and a block over is the ocean with a great paved "boardwalk" for walking and biking. You are also within walking distance to the funzone with shops, restaurants and a ferry that takes you over to Balboa Island. Don't miss the Island! You can also head toward 32nd St. for more restaurants and shops. This area of the Peninsula is very walkable with lots to do without ever getting into the car. The unit itself is very clean and the kitchen is nicely upgraded with newer appliances. The bedrooms are large with very comfortable beds and plenty of closet and dresser space. The two full bathrooms are VERY tiny. But the plumbing is great with excellent water pressure and plenty of hot water. If I had to complain about anything I would say the house needs an inside door mat for wet and sand plus a few more bath towels.

We really enjoyed this stay. The property is conveniently location on the peninsula. It’s sufficiently appointed and has a washer/dryer if needed for linens or towels. The proximity to the 10th street beach is amazing! The only cons were lack of a reserved parking space and no AC. These weren’t deal breakers for us but could be for others.
