Just 100 feet away, 9th Street Bay Beach invites effortless days by the water, from swimming to paddleboarding.

    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.

Definitely felt welcome!

We definitely felt welcome. Our stay was good and cozy. Everything was clean with basic essentials. Walking distance from the beach was great! But I do recommend a wall AC unit. We had all the windows open and ceiling fans on during the day.

I had a wonderful time

My family and I had a wonderful time staying 9 days on the Bay side with a gorgeous view of the harbor. Our only issue was a burned out lightbulb that we couldn't reach, which was replaced within hours of our notification. This was our first rental with Beachview but certainly not our last.

Not Bad but a Couple Things

Overall I enjoyed my stay. Prop mgmt is very good keeping guests informed. There are 1 million rules that seem a little excessive but very friendly communication. The wifi was janky the first night but they had it fixed the next day. Location is prime for the price. Bay in front. Short walk to beach/boardwalk and very quiet neighborhood. It does get quite cold at night and there is only a wall heater in the living room. So the bedroom has no heat, a lot of drafty windows and very thin blankets. PM: provide a space heater or a bunch more blankets or both. The bed is also not comfy and the living room couch needs repair or replacement. You do share space with the other part of the house, so be aware. The spiral staircase is pretty gnarly so be somewhat fit going up and down. NB is a beautiful town and if you want something clean and not fancy and will be spending all your time out and about, this place will do. The PM is very responsive.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

We booked this house very last minute and for our family of 4 it was a perfect spot. It’s about a 15 minute walk in either direction to get to the main hustle and bustle of Newport and/or Balboa. Very clean, easy checkin and out. I would stay again l! Thanks so much!

Really enjoy the location and one of the cleanest rentals we’ve ever stayed in.

Only disappointment was the pictures show a balcony which I believe is misleading, no access to it. The rental office said the picture was just to show their rental sign, still believe it’s misleading considering the view of the marina is across the street.

Awesome Little Rental with Great Vibes!

Rental was clean, plenty of space for up to 4 people. Location was superb for all beach related activities. Only SMALL complaints I have if you’d even call them complaints is that being at the mercy of street parking was slightly inconvenient but only once or twice (just walk or bike places and save the trouble) and the bed is quite dated and I really believe should be upgraded to a King size. All in all the rest of the experience was superb, so happy we got to stay there!
