Perfectly positioned between the lively hubs of Newport Beach’s two piers, this central stretch of the Balboa Peninsula offers one of the most convenient and activity-filled settings on the coast. With the beach in one direction and Newport Harbor in the other, guests can easily move between wide sandy beaches, bayfront recreation, local restaurants and shops, and other classic coastal attractions.

Stroll the boardwalk between the piers, enjoy a surf session, or head toward the harbor side of the peninsula for boat rentals, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing excursions, whale-watching tours, and trips to Catalina Island. Leave the car behind and explore local favorites such as Marina Park, the waterfront Lighthouse Café, the historic Dory Fleet Fish Market, Balboa Village, the Balboa Fun Zone, and the Balboa Island Ferry, all within easy walking or biking distance.

For additional shopping and dining, Lido Marina Village and Fashion Island are just a short drive away, offering everything from harborfront restaurants and local boutiques to luxury retailers and upscale dining.

A remote control for the garage would have been nice.
10 / 10Outstanding·Feb 2026
I booked this for a month while out in the area for work. It was so nice to come home at the end of the day to the beautiful view of the bay. My favorite was sitting in the recliner by the huge bay window watching the rowers and little sail boats. Conveniently located to the beach and great food. Very responsive to questions.

6 / 10Average·May 2026
Pictures were very misleading! Both bathroom (tiny) and Kitchen (also very small) are in need of serious updating. Repainting would also be a plus , perhaps with walls in the color of sage or gray.Only two toilet paper rolls were available. There were no blankets of any kind on the couch or in either bedroom and it got cold at night.When we first arrived it smelled stail and I also had to wash the skillets, plates and glasses before I felt safe they were clean enough to safely use.
