    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.

Location is fabulous! House is cute, Small in size, perfect for a couple and possibly small children. sharing square footage on the listing would help determine if this space works for your party. Overall I liked this house, it was clean and as pictured. The parking was too tight for our liking (Hyundai Elantra) so we opted to park on the street - metered parking. I would stay again for a couples get away.

Combined Beach trip with Disneyland.

Walkability to shops and restaurants in Newport was great and an easy drive to Disneyland makes the location perfect. construction on both sides of the house was noisy and started early on weekdays. The house was clean and a perfect size for my family of 4.

Great location. Parking tight.

Great location, close to the beach and pier. Designated parking in rear of building was way to tight. Had a compact suv. Had to adjust it around just to get out of the doors. Need to put a beam that spans across the whole carport and get rid of the vertical posts in the middle. Neighbors in the back moved cars to let us in and out. They were nice.

Cute updated, Comfortable cottage by the beach. Unit A faces W balboa, but two blocks from the strand and beach and easy walk to pier and shops and restaurants. We rode bikes each day, enjoyed the beach and walked to dinner each night. Fun relaxing place to stay!
