    This beach house is in prime location on Balboa Island. Go for a walk around the island and stroll along historic Marine Avenue. Indulge in one of Balboa Island's famous frozen banana or a Balboa Bar. Explore the area via the ferry to visit the Balboa Village on the Peninsula and take in the views of the Balboa Pier.



    You can also book both downstairs and upstairs together if you have a larger group. Ask us about details!



    As our guest, enjoy complimentary local experiences curated to help you make the most of Newport Beach. Activity offerings are seasonal and may include whale watching, harbor cruises, E-BIKE rentals, kayaks & paddle boards, and electric boat rentals.



    Other Important Details:

    - Thanks to our cool coastal breeze, most Newport Beach homes do not have air conditioning (AC). Every home comes with fans so you can open the windows and enjoy the beach air like a local. If AC is important to you, please double check if it is listed as an amenity.

    - Parking is provided at your rental unit. However, we cannot guarantee your vehicle will fit in the designated spot, so you may need to find street parking. Street parking can be impacted due to proximity to the beach.

    - We do our best to stay on top of any remodels or construction happening near our properties, but construction can pop up in the City of Newport Beach without notice. By city rule, construction is only permitted Monday through Friday, 7am to 6:30pm.

    *Refunds or credits will not be issued for any of the disclaimers above.*

Charming front beach house

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving vacation staying at this charming front beach house on Balboa Island. The location is great, walking distance to coffee & shops. The kitchen is well stocked and it has a nice open layout that works well. It was the perfect spot for our family vacation.

No surprises

This was an excellent location for our stay in Southern California, and the renovated cottage had everything we expected. No surprises is always good! We would stay here again.

Sweet!

This cottage is clean, and equipped with everything you need. The upstairs is over the bottom unit’s bedrooms and you can hear walking around from the bedrooms below. The washer/dryer is a huge plus but the absolute best thing about this place is a driveway for parking two cars. If you’re not familiar with Balboa Island, you will understand once you get there. Parking is a commodity here in these beach cities!

Very nice cottage and the updated kitchen and baths were really nice.One thing was that the bunk bed was very close to the ceiling and you could not use the ceiling fan if someone slept up there because it would likely hit them as they enter/exit the bed on the ladder

AC has known issues and breaks a lot!We stayed here during a hot week in OC. The AC would run for a little while and then cut out in all the rooms, making the house get very hot. There are warning signs all over the house that state you cannot have the windows open and the AC, so the house will heat up quickly- especially if you take the foot ferry over to Newport. We called maintaince and they knew about this, meaning it happens a lot. They had to flip the circuit breaker to fix it but that only solves the problem for an hour or so.Otherwise the house of very nice and thoughtfully appointed. But at these prices I would stay somewhere else during hot summer months.

Poor property management

This property is awesome, clean, its been completely renovated and great location. The only negative complaint is the A/C was broken. The owner of the property was at the house when we arrived waiting on the A/C people to show which ended up being a no-show. We contacted the Newport Beach property manager and they refused to help with anything regarding the A/C. The weather was warmer than usual, a window a/c unit would of been reall helpful but nothing was offered. Balboa Island is a frequent vacation spot for us and we will return BUT will not rent from Newport Beach Property. More bath towels are a must!!!!
