About this property
Tuscan Style Retreat - 1-Bed/1-Bath
Picture yourself at this luxurious, private Tuscan-style retreat on beautiful Balboa Island! Situated on a corner lot, this half duplex has everything you need – custom luxury finishes, and one of the best locations on the island. This home features 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom and sleeps up to 4 guests.
Upon entering the home, natural travertine flooring, warm custom wainscoting, and an ornate staircase lead you upstairs to the main level with vaulted ceiling and an open concept living room and kitchen. No expenses were spared for the finishes of the home – the custom wainscoting and tumbled travertine floor continue throughout the main living area.
The chef’s kitchen is outfitted with Viking Professional appliances, granite counter tops, bar seating for two, and is fully stocked with everything you and your sous chef need to create an amazing meal. The living room is the perfect place to cozy up after a long day, or to enjoy a movie night in. The sofa contains a queen-sized pullout bed and sleeps up to two guests.
Just off the main living area you’ll find the primary suite. The king-sized bed with luxury hotel linens and plush pillows awaits you for a dream-filled night of rest. Savor the spa-like en-suite bathroom with oversized vanity, custom marble mosaic tile, and tub and shower combo.
From the living room, the steps up lead to the private rooftop deck! Relax and catch some rays in the lounge chairs or gather around the fire table on warm summer nights. The rooftop deck also has a gas barbeque for summertime grilling, cocktails, and entertainment while enjoying sparkling city views.
The residence accommodates carport parking for one car and has access to full laundry amenities in the carport closet, which can be accessed from the ground floor.
The home’s prime location with easy access to beaches, the ferry, and market makes walking around town the perfect choice. Across the street is Succulent Coffee Roasters, a full-service restaurant and coffee shop - a popular destination for locals and visitors alike. And just down the block is the Balboa Island Park, where you can enjoy summertime concerts. The ferry is at the end of the block, a short 1-minute walk, and a quick ride across the harbor to Newport Landing. Play some games at the Fun Zone, grab a frozen banana, or enjoy an evening of fine dining on the water.
If your heart is set on going to the beach, the home is fully stocked with everything you need for a fun day. Beach chairs and boogie boards are ready and waiting for you.
Revel in the experience of luxurious island living at this beautiful Tuscan-style retreat!

This was the perfect size for my husband daughter and myself. There is only 1 bedroom so more ideal for a couple but it worked! Perfect location on Balboa Island. It had everything we needed and was extremely clean! We would absolutely come back!
Really nice spot for two folks, with easy walking distance to the Main Street on Balboa Island. Plus, just one block from catching the Ferry. Condo is easy access, has off-street parking and is very comfortable. We’ll use it again!
This cute little place was so adorable and very comfortable. The area was in good location. Would definitely consider staying here again. The process the communication was also very easy.

The unit had everything I needed and was an easy walk to the bay or shopping/restaurants.
I was in town for four nights on business and wanted to stay on Balboa Island. My wife and I have stayed several places before but none of them had air conditioning and for my stay in July I was happy to find the Tuscan style retreat did. The place was just as advertised, clean, and within walking distance to lots of shops and restaurants. The off street parking is a huge convenience as well. Next time my wife and I visit we will be sure to book.
Place was great!! Easy access and has a rooftop if you want to see sunset! Around the corner from the todos santos Mexican restaurant. It’s great and has coffee bar in the morning. Can walk to get on ferry to go across to many many restaurants and beach. We loved going to dinner on main strip! Royal Hen was yummy! It’s definitely an upscale rental for a one bedroom condo!
Immaculate apartment-upscale amenities-great location -only complaint is it’s a bit smaller than pictured

Perfect location and very convenient to all of my favorite Newport spots. Beat spot to situate yourself for walking the island or simply taking the ferry across the bay and spending the day on the peninsula. Very well appointed.

What a wonderful experience! Beautiful, clean and comfortable place to stay. Great location on Balboa Island near the ferry, with plenty of restaurant options nearby.

We stayed here for three nights. It is a great place for a couple to use as a launching point to do things around Balboa and Newport Beach. We loved that the Ferry was only a block away. The unit is clean, well appointed, quiet and comfortable. It has two large screen TV’s equipped with Apple TV’s.

For a couple visiting Newport Beach, this has to be one of the best rentals available. this property benefits from its absolute perfect location. You are on the street where the ferry crosses, this gives you access to the peninsula immediately. Rent a bike for your stay and park the car in the provided car port, your done. This location provides a nice scenic walk to get coffee in mornings on Marine street. If you're dying of starvation and don't want to go anywhere, just jump across the street to Todos Santos for great Mexican food or drinks. You can't miss with this place, it was cute, serviced all our needs and more. Just one bug: The TV was not configured for cable as advertised. This was ONLY an issue trying to watch the Super Bowl ending. We watched it on iPads. We didn't turn on the TV the rest of the stay.

Perfect location and very convenient to all of my favorite Newport spots. Beat spot to situate yourself for walking the island or simply taking the ferry across the bay and spending the day on the peninsula. Very well appointed.
The house had a convenient location, and had most of what we needed. It was clean. The bed was a little too firm for us, but otherwise we were comfortable with our stay.
Amazing location - very charming yet cozy (loved the restaurant across the street- so convenient) and right in the heart of Balboa! The property was very clean, check in was seamless and we loved having a parking spot available. My family and I will definitely be back!
The property was accurately described in the listing. The property was comfortable, well appointed and we couldn’t find a better location for Balboa Island.
Great place for enjoying what Balboa Island has to offer. Easy access to freeways when needing to get out and about. Well furnished kitchen and bbq for staying in as well.
Updated compared to other small rentals I’ve stayed at on the island. Steps to the ferry, the convenience store, and Mexican restaurant. Prefect for two people with additional room on a pullout sofa bed. If you plan to cook the kitchen has newer appliances and lots of room. Rooftop patio also a bonus but the covered parking is a huge convenience for the area! Living space all on one level but several stairs from the front door and up to the rooftop patio. Plan to stay there again!
Excellent apartment! Spacious. Extremely clean. Great roof top deck. Fabulous location!!!!

This is a great place that doesn't feel like a rental. All of the features are high-end and I've had great experiences with the management team. The location is perfect - access to all of the island plus the ferry to the peninsula, but just off the beaten path enough to be quiet.

We had an excellent time in Balboa/Newport! Our 1 bedroom condo was very clean, well appointed and a super location to do all the fun things in the area. We easily got a around the island and had easy access to Newport, Huntington and Laguna beaches. Having Todos Santos right across the street was a bonus! Thank you to the owner for letting us share this wonderful spot in paradise!
