Located centrally on Balboa Island, just a short walk away from the Ferry and the historic Marine Avenue where you can find quaint boutiques and restaurants.

    Upon entering the home, you will walk up a short flight of stairs and be greeted with a spacious living area with a large sectional for cozying up. The living area flows into the updated kitchen and dining area with a table for 4. Just outside the open space living area, you will find a large deck with comfortable seating for the whole family, another table that seats 6-8, a fire pit, and a BBQ.



    Back inside the home, you will find the 2 bedrooms and full bathroom down the hall. The bathroom offers a tub/shower combination. The master bedroom has a king bed with a large closet and the guest bedroom has 2 twin beds and a closet as well.



    The shared garage is below your unit, where you can find a full sized washer and dryer that is shared with the front unit's guests. Your designated parking spot will be on the left hand side of the garage.



    This home is in an ideal location on Balboa Island, walking distance to all the Island has to offer. The bayfront beaches are perfect for families with small children to play, due to the calm waters.



    *This listing is for the back unit only. You may see exterior photos of the front unit and it's front patio but it is not included. Ask about details if you'd like to rent both units combined.



    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.

Nice Island Stay

Cozy place with a bright sunny terrace. The kitchen is updated and modern, but the single bathroom could be refreshed. Easy to work with the property manager and check in/out. Great location for walking everywhere on the island.

Great location on this adorable island. All the common areas have been nicely updated but the bathroom and two bedrooms still need quite a bit of work. The space is advertised to have a garage, and while it does, it can only fit two small cars. There was already a large SUV in the garage when we got there, so there was no room for another vehicle. Wasn’t a big deal since there’s plenty of street parking available.

This place was perfect for what we needed on this trip. Very comfortable, private, and well equipped location. We had some questions along the way and fmthr host was very attentive in assisting us throughout the check in process. Parking was easy and close to all the local attractions. We would stay here again.

The unit was fairly well equipped - especially the kitchen. Great location and Garage parking much appreciated. Unfortunately the internet did not work well, and we had no heat the first night - 24 hour contact said they would contact us and they never did. Had to call again in the morning and finally got it fixed. Also faucets in bathroom are loose and in danger of falling off, and dryer did not work.
