201 Ruby | Affordable Quaint Cottage Balboa Island
This charming 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom Balboa Island front cottage is conveniently located within walking distance to the charming shops and cafes on Marine Ave.
Curated Local Guest Experiences Included! (see below)
201 Ruby is professionally managed by Newport Beach Vacation Properties. This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom Balboa Island front cottage is conveniently located in walking distance to the charming shops and cafes on Marine Ave., as well as the historic Balboa Island Ferry that takes both cars and pedestrians on a 5 minute ride to Balboa Peninsula and the Pacific Ocean beaches.
The front of this rustic cottage features a cozy outdoor patio complete with a gas BBQ and patio furniture where you can prepare your favorite outdoor meals or enjoy your morning coffee. The inside of this cottage has purposely been maintained in its original Balboa Island vintage style featuring a high-vaulted ceiling in the living room outlined with traditional wood planks. There is wood flooring throughout the cottage, a wood-burning fireplace, and 2 cozy sofas in the living area.
The kitchen is fully equipped including a refrigerator, freezer, oven, stove, microwave, double stainless-steel sink, and fully stocked with all the cookware and place settings you will need. Adjacent to the kitchen and living room, is a separate dining area with a rectangular wooden table that seats six people very comfortably. In the hallway, you will find all 3 bedrooms. The first one on the right has a queen bed, directly across the hall is the other smaller bedroom with a twin bed and an en suite full bathroom. The spacious master bedroom found at the end of the hall has its own en suite bathroom, plenty of closet space, and a flat-screen TV.
There is a shared washer and dryer and a spot for 1 car in the garage beneath the back unit which is not part of this unit. Street parking is also usually available.
As our guest, enjoy complimentary local experiences curated to help you make the most of Newport Beach. Activity offerings are seasonal and may include whale watching, harbor cruises, E-BIKE rentals, kayaks & paddle boards, and electric boat rentals.
Other Important Details:
- Thanks to our cool coastal breeze, most Newport Beach homes do not have air conditioning (AC). Every home comes with fans so you can open the windows and enjoy the beach air like a local. If AC is important to you, please double check if it is listed as an amenity.
- Parking is provided at your rental unit. However, we cannot guarantee your vehicle will fit in the designated spot, so you may need to find street parking. Street parking can be impacted due to proximity to the beach.
- We do our best to stay on top of any remodels or construction happening near our properties, but construction can pop up in the City of Newport Beach without notice. By city rule, construction is only permitted Monday through Friday, 7am to 6:30pm.
*Refunds or credits will not be issued for any of the disclaimers above.*

we had a great experience at 201 Ruby
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2022
we had a very good time and enjoyed ourselves. I had to kill a cockroach in the second bathroom. need to address bug problem. also there should be a chopping board in the kitchen. direct TV sucks.
8 / 10Excellent·Mar 2021
In general, this little beach house met our needs. It was immaculate, which I appreciated. It was also sufficiently equipped. But it was bare bones. The kitchen was very small and I had a hard time finding things because it was so dark in the cupboards and they were so hard to access. The television is basic only. And given we were there during college bowl season, the lack of ESPN was an issue for a member of our family. Given the expense per night, a larger selection of channels is assumed. There was a maintenance issue with the heater when we arrived, but the property management firm handled it promptly and professionally. It ended up having minimal impact on our stay. The property is well-located on Balboa island. A few blocks from downtown. A few blocks from the ferry. We did appreciate this aspect of it. We would recommend this property with the caveats noted above.
6 / 10Average·Dec 2018
Very cute house, great location. For what we paid I was hoping for nicer sheets, pillows towels and a few other things. There was a very large stain on one of the comforters. : 0 Which is not to be expected when you are paying what we did.
