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!



Please be advised this is a strict NO SMOKING property. 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.

    Good price for 2 blocks from the beach. Comfy bed. It was nice to have plenty of counter space in the bathrooms, something that is sorely lacking in most rentals. The front patio is a great place to relax. The park next door is definitely a plus with dogs. Try the Il Farro Italian restaurant near the Newport pier, the Snipe Island Crafthouse on Balboa Island, and Siam Station for Thai food.

    The property is in an excellent location. Easy bike ride to Lido and all over Balboa. The beach is a 2 minute walk and you can also launch paddleboards or kayaks in the bay in a 30 second walk from the property. The front outdoor area is nice with a table and chaise lounges that overlooks the park area. It was incredibly quiet. The bed is comfortable and there is plenty of space. Having a parking space was also a good perk. WIFI was strong and we had no issues with connectivity. We had a minor shower issue that needed to be fixed and Scott came immediately to fix it.The one negative is that the property is not as good condition as it appears in the photos. It would not deter me from staying again, but it is in definite need of a facelift. The location makes up for this.

    Location was awesome. Being a pet friendly rental was great. We will definitely be back. I have never used Itrip before but I would definitely recommend it to others. We were 110 percent satisfied with the representation of the property and its amenities. The instructions were clear and made everything super easy to check in and out. Thank you so much Scott.

    Location is 10/10. House is as depicted but even more charming in person 10/10! Equipped and user friendly decor and accommodations 10/10. I would move in and live here if I could! I travel with my service animal, and had surgery this week, so needed a spot where I could allow him to be outside and keep my eyes on him within the gated areas of house. The park across the street made him skip with glee, and I loved not having to overexert myself to walk across. Spent time outdoors at park with mini beach access and great playground, large grass area, as well as walked in the upscale neighborhood. House is well-maintained, well-equipped, and in a charming upscale area with charm. They even thought to add a few special items to make me comfortable after surgery, including a special pillow and some herbal tea to aid in digestion after anesthesia. Play area in back of house is perfect for dog or for kids! It felt like visiting a dear friend’s house. I’ll absolutely stay here every time I’m in town if this house is available! Thank you again to the thoughtful owners for making my stay so easy and cozy!

    Came to get our dogs out the 116 degree Arizona heat. Great location, easy to walk to everything you need. My dogs enjoyed the small beach and park right across the street. Scott the host was quick to answer any questions.

    This is an authentic Newport Beach house with old charm and style. The house has some great features and details and also misses the mark on amenities. The location of the house worked great for our trip and the things we were doing. And the small park across the street was great for our dogs to run around on leash after we arrived. The front porch is great for lounging and we had zero concerns about our dogs getting out from this space. Interior details such as the labels hanging on drawers to tell you what is inside and boxes in the back room full of books and games were great touches. Some of the negatives that we ran into with the house - the back room is a waste of space and could be better used with bunk beds and another full size bed for better sleeping arrangements. There is ample storage in the bathroom cabinets and bedroom closet so having the fold out bed's linens crumpled in a Home Depot plastic storage box was disappointing. I had those sheets in the dryer at 10PM trying to get the wrinkles and plastic bin smell off of them before I made the bed to sleep in. More silverware and plates in the kitchen would be great. We were only two people staying at the house and needed to run the dishwasher after nearly every meal as we were out of those two items. This rental is OK but could be great with a few more touches to make it a great space that people walk in to and it feels like home.
