About this house rental
Summary:
Summer availability 223: 6/22-6/24 2nts,, 7/24-7/27 wknd, 8/10-8/15, 8/29-9/04 (check ALL our Casa's and Casita's for open dates)
Beachfront - just steps to sand, Casa 223 offers the rare opportunity to enjoy both Newport Harbor and the ocean in one unforgettable location.
The Space:
Stay where the Balboa Peninsula narrows to a single road, with Newport Harbor on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other.
Casa 223 is a beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 2-bath bay beachfront home located at Marina Park and Mother's Beach, Newport Beach's largest bay beach. The sand and calm bay waters are approximately 30 feet from your front courtyard, while the ocean beach, boardwalk, and surf are less than a 3-minute walk away.
For over 25 years, Casa de Balboa Vacation Rentals has welcomed generations of returning guests. Many families who first stayed with us decades ago now return with their children and grandchildren—a tradition built on exceptional locations, continual improvements, and genuine hospitality.
Unlike many Peninsula properties, Casa 223 enjoys a quieter, safer street-level location with no rear alley. The street ends at a small public dock used for passenger boat pick-up and drop-off, creating a more relaxed setting with less traffic behind the home.
The home features a bright open floor plan, central air conditioning, and comfortable indoor-outdoor living designed for relaxing beach vacations.

The Neighborhood:
In addition to our bay front location, the property is just a couple of short beach blocks (a beach block is about two houses..cross one street that divides the peninsula) from the ocean boardwalk and pier. And it`s within walking distance of many restaurants offering a variety of fare. Enjoy Mexican cuisine, seafood (including the famous Crab Cooker two blocks away, The Cannery, and Blue Water Grill), Italian, Sushi, Shore Bird, Palmilla fine Mexican, and several fine dining restaurants such as Oceanfront, Nobu, Cannery, and The Dock. Or try the new Louies` On the Bay..located next to Billy`s on the Beach!!
Our Casa's are in a quieter location on the park beachfront, offering the best views and location in Newport Beach. There is plenty of activity including renting paddle boards and kayaks around the corner (where our Casita's are located on 20th St) to be delivered to the beach in front. No schlepping!! Summer recreation camps available on beach.
From the moment you walk through the dutch door, you`ll feel "at home" - and maybe a little pampered at the beach.
Getting Around:
There are plenty of cabs, car rentals, bike rentals, Uber, and Lyft. We are located close to restaurants and shops so there is plenty to walk to. During the summer, the city has a open air trolley that runs on the peninsula stopping here at Marina Park..
Other Things to Note:
Bring your fishing poles! The main pier is for fishing and our small dock is for loading/unloading passengers. There are electric and motor boats for rent at the Pavilion. And there`s a great tot lot on our beach.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
Enjoyed a nice Christmas getaway here. Kitchen was very well-appointed and we were able to cook nice meals during our stay. House was very comfortable and nicely decorated - lots of thoughtful touches. It rained quite a bit during our stay, so the large covered patio overlooking the bay was a welcome feature! Enjoyed time on the water and had many meals at a variety of excellent restaurants close to the home. Would definitely recommend this Vrbo stay.
10 / 10Outstanding·Nov 2025
This condo was just steps away from the sand on the bay side. Peaceful and serene the entire time. The outdoor patio was great place to gather while enjoying the beach air. The kitchen was well stocked with anything needed for cooking. However, if you wanted to eat out, restaurants and shops were in walking distance close by. Communication was excellent and response time was quick. We enjoyed our stay.
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
Views from the bottom floor are amazing. Building you see is no big deal. Steps from the bay side beach. For families with small kids the patio is great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Street is extremely quiet and manicured with palm trees. It is well worth the stay.
6 / 10Average·Oct 2023
Positives: Location of the property is great - literally steps from the Bay and mini-beach and a 2 min walk to the ocean beach, but lots of foot traffic from random people (including homeless near the public bathroom across the street) and easy to see into house. Great amenities. Updated interior. Lots of fans to account for no A/C. TVs are a nice touch except there's literally 4 remote for one TV.
Negatives: Check in was 3p but they were still cleaning until after 4p and the floor was still pretty caked in sand. Water pressure of the showers is quite poor. Zero counter space in the bathrooms. Not a lot of natural light filters into the place. The outlets on one of the walls of the kitchen stopped working. We received about 8 emails total during the process of check-in, stay, and check-out, each one a lengthy diatribe essay on what we could and could not do and all of the things we needed to do while staying there and checking out. These are purely rental properties. If you don't want to deal with the pain of owning and maintaining rentals, don't be in that business. FYI - nothing happened while we were there. We aren't loud or partiers. If this property wasn't in Newport Beach, the price would be at least cut in half
