Enjoy and relax in this classic Newport Beach single family home that has both upgrades and classic charm geared towards family vacations. You (and your dog) are invited to enjoy our classic 4 bedroom/2 bath beach house. This is a single family home and is the only residence on the lot. Perfect for families with children with it's private front yard. Modern amenities and classic conveniences blend seamlessly with the classic beach community of the Newport Peninsula!

Simply said, the location of this property is amazing. We are located on a quiet street on the Newport Beach Peninsula and there are two family friendly beaches nearby. Located less than three short blocks from the best stretch of beach in town one direction, and just steps from a bayside in the other direction. The bayside beach has been called "Mother's Beach" by the family for years as it is safe for small children. All details have been thoughtfully planned and executed. Probably the most visible feature of the home is a fenced in front yard, something that most vacation homes in Newport Beach do not have. The home also features two living rooms for the family to enjoy. The front yard provides a spacious outdoor mix of seating and entertainment. The front yard and patio blends into a den and kitchen areas.

Custom materials and tastefully-appointed furnishings dot the setting of this Craftsman inspired home that is relaxing, yet energizing at the same time: the perfect combination for any successful vacation stay!

Locals know the three-mile-long stretch with the harbor on one side and broad, sandy California beaches on the other as “the Peninsula.” The Balboa Peninsula has two piers with a view of a shoreline, surfers, and sunbathers spanning for miles. A walk straight down Main Street brings you to the historic Balboa Pavilion. The Balboa Peninsula has many sit down restaurants and quick food stops for people hitting the sand for a day at Balboa Beach, and the variety of bars and live music makes the Peninsula a regional nightlife destination. Some of the places locals hang out for good seafood and a casual fun atmosphere are the Crab Cooker and Woody’s Wharf. Anglers can bring home dinner from one of the sport-fishing vessels and whale watching enthusiasts can see some of nature’s most beautiful creatures up close, as Balboa Peninsula rentals and adventure boats launch early and often. But a trip to the Peninsula wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Balboa Fun Zone, where the Ferris wheel has stood for years!

A Dog (1) is allowed with a pet fee of $100. All rentals over 29 days will require a refundable security deposit.

Please note that our properties may have electronic devices installed such as electronic locks, front door cameras, or noise monitors. There are no video devices inside the property.

Perfect place on Balboa Peninsula for small family gathering

We stayed in this property to revisit the place where my parents met and were married 54 years ago. The house was perfectly located in the middle of it all, and we were able to walk and ferry to most places we visited.

Family Vacation

My husband and I stayed with our 2 daughters and their husbands over the holiday. We also had one 16 month granddaughter with us. The extra room for her to sleep was great. A relative got us a pack n play, high chair, and toys from a rental company which worked out perfectly. We enjoyed our stay immensely. The negatives were the cleanliness of the kitchen. Also when we arrived the floors had just been mopped yet our socks turned grey from the floor the 1st day. There was only 1 towel per person for showering and only a few kitchen towels. I ended up buying some. We cooked and grilled often so the kitchen was used a lot. The weather was definitely cool so beach time was limited but we did walk quite a bit to a variety of places. Having a washer and dryer was great too. Parking was not an issue.

Very pleased

Very conveniently located by the beach, just a quick 2 minute walk away, if that. Very comfortable, clean, and nice home with plenty of spread-out space for lounging on those cloudy days. Kitchen stocked with utensils, cooking implements, and spices. Clean, functioning bathrooms, and very nice style. Missing A/C, but the cool ocean breeze, and open windows/fans made it so we did not miss any of that.

Great house!

We had a wonderful time at this sweet house! Super efficient booking and communication. The home is really cute, comfortable, and well equipped. We loved spending time on the patio. We had a ball riding the beach cruisers. The beach and bay are really close. I wish there was a coffee pot, instead there was a Kurig, so bring pods. Great stay!

House stay

Hi there, we loved staying at this house again this year! We weren’t able to get live shows on the tv downstairs, like a football game etc and we always take our shoes off in the house and felt it needed a better mopping! I totally would have done it but couldn’t find a map but we do love your house! Thank you Karen

Beach week

Newport Beach is the ultimate beach week. This beach house met all of our needs. The front yard for afternoon evening gatherings was awesome. Scott is an incredibly attentive host, responding to emails very quickly, even when I had merely failed to read the email he had already sent. Very gracious host. we did bring in our own fans which is sometimes needed during the summer months, although all rooms have ceiling fans. Also, if you have children, bring books and games with you, as there are only adult books in the house. Thank you, Scott, for sharing your home. It was awesome.

We LOVED the location!

We had a fantastic stay! The location was perfect for us. Quiet street away from the spring break chaos, yet a quick bike ride or walk to town. Only a 2 min walk to the beach path and sand on the ocean side. Also, a quick 1 min walk to the bay side beach. We enjoyed being centrally located between the two piers with easy access to both piers by foot, bike, or skateboard. We really enjoyed paddling around the bay on the included kayaks. The house was well stocked with many beach chairs, one bike, boogie boards, beach towels, sand toys, and more. The kitchen was also well stocked with many spices, seasonings and other kitchen essentials that I was grateful I didn’t have to purchase. We were traveling with our college age kids and some of their friends and everyone had a fantastic time. The house itself is charming with a lot of vintage character. The upstairs bathroom is quirky and tight, but that wouldn’t keep me from highly recommending and coming back again and again.

Lovely stay in Balboa!

My family and I have been coming down to the area for the past couple years. It's always a time I really look forward to where we can all get together and relax by the beach. The house was really lovely and exactly as described and pictured. We enjoyed spending time at the house together, cooking, sitting outside in the yard, and walking to the beach a block away. For cooking, it was a huge plus that the kitchen was so stocked. We were super comfortable the entire stay except for one thing. The downstairs pull out bed was visibly dirty when we checked in. We discovered it late at night when everyone was already to go to sleep, and had to stay up late to wash everything downstairs ourselves.

Wonderful vacation

We were cancelled at the last minute by well known vacation site. Thank God because we would have never found this gem of a house. Set off the main road but easy access and walking distance to beautiful beach. The house was incredible. Plenty of room for our family of 7. Darling front yard to sit and relax. Every amenity that you can think of. Kitchen well stocked with spices, paper products… Plenty of beach towels and beach chairs. Everything that you need to make your vacation perfect. Scott was great to work with. He responded immediately with any questions. The house was so full of character and just an incredible stay. Restaurants, bike rentals and stores all within walking distance. I highly recommend!

Family Vacation

This was an all-around amazing experience, and we loved your home. We are already planning our next year's vacation and hope to be able to stay at this same property again as it was perfectly located and met all of our needs. Just a few things to mention, the blinds in the master bedroom on the doors should be replaced as they are damaged, and some are missing some slats. Perhaps some privacy curtains on top of the doors would make a great addition and give a great sense of privacy. Some door locks on the master bedroom doors would also be a great addition. We took the blue beach umbrella from the garage to the beach and found the base to be broken so we couldn't set it up. The yellow one was brand new and in perfect working condition, so we were grateful for that. We were awoken early by some construction on a house just a couple doors down on 5 out of the 7 days we were there. Definitely an inconvenience but won't stop me from giving a 5-star review as everything else other than the construction, umbrella, and master bedroom doors were amazing.

Great location, okay place

The location is perfect, nestled between the ocean and the bay. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. There are beach chairs and umbrellas, bikes and kayaks which is a thoughtful perk. The downside is that the space feels lived in and in need of updating and a thorough deep clean. And the layout is odd. The downstairs living room doesn't have enough seating. While the kitchen is well-equipped, it's a mish-mash of what appears to be decades of old stuff, like you're staying in someone's nan's house. The kitchen garbage can hasn't been cleaned out in a very long time. The bathrooms are laughably tiny. The upstairs living space is lovely. My favorite room. And the fireplace works up there. The beds are comfy. The instruction binder is thorough. The management company is really kind and responsive. For the very reasonable price, and the location, it is a fine place to stay. Just know before going that it's a solid B.

Happy with this lovely beach house!

I stayed at this house in February with 7 friends. We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely beach house! The location can truly not be beat. You are steps to the beach on both sides of the house. The home is well stocked with everything you need for an amazing beach-side vacation. The house was clean and so cute. The bathrooms were small for the 7 of us but certainly workable! They also left us a bottle of wine on arrival which was very sweet. A few of the bedrooms upstairs got quite cold at night this time of year, so I recommend bringing warm pajamas! The only complaint I have is we stayed for four nights and were provided 1 dishwasher tab and 1 garbage bag. I had to go out to purchase a box of garbage bags and more dishwasher tabs - travelling from Canada it was rather inconvenient as you can't buy just a few of these items, you have to purchase a box! I think for shorter stays like ours it would be reasonable to be stocked with enough of these items for the stay. Otherwise, we had a fantastic stay and definitely recommend this home and host!
