    Welcome to your charming Newport Beach cottage tucked into the heart of Balboa Island. This 3-bedroom lower unit offers an easygoing coastal retreat with relaxed cottage charm, comfortable gathering spaces, and a wonderful front patio made for sunny beach days and breezy island evenings.

    Inside, the home feels simple, bright, and welcoming, with a cozy living room featuring a large family-sized L-shaped couch where everyone can unwind after a day by the bay. The full kitchen makes it easy to enjoy casual meals at home, while the Keurig Duo coffee maker helps start your mornings with ease before strolling out to explore the island.

    The front patio is a true highlight, perfect for slow mornings, afternoon lounging, or dinner under the umbrellas. Gather around the propane fire pit, settle into the cushioned outdoor seating, grill dinner on the propane BBQ, or share a meal outside at the al fresco dining table. With no stairs required to enter, pet-friendly accommodations, and a location close to Balboa Island's shops, restaurants, bayfront paths, and ferry access, this cottage is a comfortable home base for a memorable Newport Beach getaway.

    For added comfort, every bedroom includes a Smart TV, and fans are provided throughout the home to keep the coastal air flowing.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Great location. Host was easy to communicate with. The home was clean but could use some updating. One bathroom is in the garage, rooms are smaller with no closets and no a/c. We happened to visit during an especially warm time, so it was difficult cooling the home down even at night using windows and fans.
