Sunny Balboa Island Cottage: A/C. Avail: Sep 27: ”WINTER” 45%-50% OFF

Sunny and airy one-story, fully-furnished Balboa Island beach cottage with all-important GARAGE PARKING (see note below), A/C, fireplace, GREAT LOCATION! Just 1-1/2 blocks to the beach in either direction and one block over from Marine Avenue restaurants, coffee shops and boutiques. "WINTER" Months (Sept-June) 45-50% DISCOUNT (Bigger discount on longer stay). Bright & airy feel, open-beam ceilings, wooden shutters and hardwood floors throughout, skylights and fully-stocked kitchen with dishwasher. There is a 55" Flat-screen TV with Cable in the living room, WiFi, gas fireplace. Two bedrooms (1 queen, 2 twin beds) and two bathrooms, ideal for a couple, a family with two children or two couples. Washer/dryer in attached garage (shared with couple living in the above-garage apartment). Fenced front brick patio with outdoor tables and bistro set surrounded by roses, other flowers and trees. French doors open off the dining area to a private courtyard with a gas Weber BBQ that is perfect for small casual dinners or relaxing after a fun day at the beach.

NOTE: City of Newport Beach has begun construction to underground utilities in the alleys between Marine and Onyx Avenues, meaning the garages located off the alley behind the houses are not accessible between approximately Sept. 8 - Oct. 17. My apologies for any inconvenience.

STAYS UNDER 30 DAYS require I collect 10% City of Newport Beach Transient Occupancy Tax (included in Quote).

WINTER LEASE - NO Transient Occupancy Tax on stays 31+ days.

ALL UTILITIES INCLUDED IN WINTER RENT: Electric, gas, cable, WiFi, water, trash, weekly gardening.

WINTER LEASE AND LONGER-TERM MONTHLY STAYS, PLEASE CONTACT ME for rates on specific dates — Monthly Fall/Winter Availability & Pricing — (Bigger discount & more flexibility on longer stays).

NOTE: Not recommended for more than four adults. Master bedroom has one queen bed and the second smaller bedroom has two twin beds. The living room couch is NOT a sofa-bed. Children who can comfortably double up in twin beds or babies in cribs, for example, would be fine. MAX People: 5 -- Note: I have a Pack-n-Play for babies and toddlers available upon request.

Around the corner from a charming 2-block main street in the quaint downtown village, easy access to boutique shopping, coffee shops, bakeries and restaurants. Easy on/off the island. Small, sandy beaches and a 1.6 mile walkway around the perimeter, perfect for strolling and people watching – all just steps from the front door. And it’s just a short walk and a 5-minute ferry ride to the famous Balboa Fun Zone, complete with Ferris wheel, arcades, boat rentals and guided boat tours of the beautiful homes on Newport Harbor, or you can catch the Catalina Flyer to Catalina Island.

Balboa Island is just off the coast of Newport Beach and is a short drive away from many Southern California attractions, including Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Universal Studios, Hollywood, San Diego Zoo, and much, much more. Only 6 miles from SNA Santa Ana/Orange County (John Wayne) airport, and 45 miles south of LAX Los Angeles International Airport. Come and enjoy the relaxed island lifestyle, a safe haven conveniently located in the middle of coastal Orange County.
