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!

Two of the other guest rooms are also on the upper floor of the home.



The lower level has the the kitchen, dining area, and a second living room to serve as a central meeting point. The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking/dining gear.

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.

Beautiful house
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
Wonderful home! Worked perfectly for our family and dog. The garage is a bit small because of the washer and dryer but the space behind the garage is plenty big for parking. The home has everything you need to relax in beautiful Newport Beach. Communication with host was quick and responsive. The friendly text reminder about the garbage was very helpful. I’ve been visiting Newport Beach for 25 years and this home ranks high on our list.
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
We were 5 adults & 2 kids (under age 3) for 5 nights in November and this property was all we were hoping for! Location was great- half way in between Newport shops/farmers market /pier and Balboa pier/shops/ferry and fun zone. Loved the little bayside beach across the street and a few doors down. House allows dogs, but doesn’t NOT smell like animals. Front porch and grass extends living area nicely. House was clean with appropriate updates. Beds were comfortable. Bathrooms are tight, but manageable. Thankful for the 2 baby gates for the stairs, for the beach wagon and beach toys. This house is well priced for the area! We would rent this property again.
6 / 10Average·May 2024
We booked this listing based on the proximity to the beach and for a relaxing getaway, but were very uncomfortable during our stay. Unfortunately, there is a home under major construction one house away that starts promptly at 7am. Without air conditioning, the windows have to remain open (even in April/May), which left us listening to nail guns, hammering, and lumber dropping all day. The home is darling, but fairly dirty. Floors needed a deep cleaning and the area rugs felt gross underfoot. The glassware appeared dirty, so we washed everything we intended to use, but it remained (possibly being permanent hard water crust?). The upstairs bath jets had chunks of black moldy material that floated out when the tub filled. And most of the outdoor items for guest usage have been left to essentially rot (bike, kayaks). We REALLY appreciated having the outdoor heat lamp and tv replaced during our stay since they were non-functional on arrival. The master bedroom mattress definitely needs to be replaced! Sleeping in human-sized holes left us sore and cranky…followed up with early morning/all day construction noise was absolutely uncomfortable. It really is a darling house, though, with great potential for family fun and beach memories to be made once nearby construction ends and management gives the home a thorough once-over.
