About this cottage rental

Location, Location, Location! This remodeled beach cottage featuring 2 master bedroom suites, a cozy patio, and an upscale modern kitchen, is ideally located just a short stroll to the Oceanfront Boardwalk, Pacific Ocean beaches, Lido Marina Village, Balboa Pier, Balboa Ferry, and the popular 'Fun Zone' of the Peninsula. As an added bonus you will also have access to an attached 2 car garage complete with 4 beach cruiser bikes, beach chairs, umbrella, and towels.

Upon entering the comfortable 2 bed 2 bath beach cottage only 2 blocks from the beach you'll be taken away by the charming front patio equipped with gas BBQ, comfortable outdoor furniture and two umbrellas. Once entering through the front entrance dutch door you are greeted by a warm and cozy living area that is nicely appointed with hardwood floors throughout, custom molding, large comfortable furnishings, a 65' flat-screen smart TV, and wireless internet. The great room which incorporates the living, dining and front patio areas provides a perfect setting to entertain or relax with others. The large open living area with L shaped couch and an oversized reclining chair provide luxury seating to enjoy the 65' flat screen smart TV. The full-service galley kitchen features granite counter-tops, new stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, full-sized stainless steel refrigerator, coffee maker, keurig, nespresso machine, toaster, oven, microwave, pantry, blender, and cooking/eating utensils.

The first bedroom features a Cal-king-sized bed with linens, 45' flat-screen TV (spectrum cable), ceiling fan and plenty of closet space. The second bedroom comes equipped with a bunk bed that has a a full-sized tempurpedic bed and a twin bed, full bath (shower only) and spacious closet.

One of the most attractive features of this vacation home is the availability of an attached 2 car garage, given the shortage of parking spaces available on Balboa Peninsula. The garage also stores 4 beach cruiser bikes can be used on the ever-popular bike path along the nearby oceanfront boardwalk that stretches for several miles along Balboa Peninsula as you take in breath-taking ocean views. On those days you choose to take the 5-minute walk to the beach, we provide you with beach towels, beach chairs, and umbrella.

The nearby Balboa Fun Zone is one of Southern California's oldest and last great coastal amusement areas. Since 1936, the Fun Zone's ferris wheel has been a day and night landmark on the Newport Harbor scene, beckoning all to join in the fun. Completely rebuilt from the ground up in 1986, the Fun Zone's ferris wheel, arcades, fun food, and shops still make it the highlight of every visit to Balboa and you are just a 5 minute walk to these attractions from your condo on Cypress St.Since 1919, the nearby Balboa Island Ferry has provided continuous service between Balboa Peninsula and Balboa Island. The crossing is only about 800 feet but it is very scenic where you will see sailboats, luxury yachts, sea lions, dolphins, and pelicans diving for fish.

This location is unmatched, within a minutes walk to the beaches, bay, countless restaurants and bars including a Pavillions (grocery store) great for stocking up on all your goodies.

We had a great time staying at this property. We loved being so close to the beach and having the bikes available as well!

We had a great time at Tim and Michelle's place! We have a 3 year old and it was so great that they had plenty of toys for her to play with! They seriously had everything you would need for a beach stay! Towels, wagon, chairs, umbrellas! Great place to come especially if you're flying in. The beginning of our stay it was humid outside so it got pretty warm inside, they did have 2 fans; however, one would not spin. By the end of the trip it was the perfect summer nights at the beach, cool and crisp so we were able to use the firepit they had on the patio! Awesome location, walking distance to Bayside, beachside, grocery and restaurants! We also liked the patio was fully enclosed for the kiddos! Perfect house for our group of 6 (4 adults, 1 toddler and new born).

This beautiful beach cottage met my expectations and beyond. The rental was clean, well appointed, and the location was perfect! The local grocery store and great restaurants were so convenient as were the use of bikes, beach chairs, and beach towels. This place is truly turnkey. I highly recommend it for families with children.
