About this property

Oceanfront condo with panoramic ocean views

This 3 BR / 2 BA condo with panoramic ocean views is a gorgeous upscale designer's dream vacation home featuring hardwood floors, granite counter-tops, stainless steel appliances, and casual beach-style themed furnishings.

The location of this condo is truly in one of the premier spots on the entire Peninsula. You will have spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean, Newport Beach, Catalina Island, and the famous Balboa Pier from the balcony of your 3rd floor vacation property. You are so close to the water you will hear the waves crashing when you go to bed at night and wake up in the morning to a beautiful sunrise. The master bedroom has ocean views from the comfort of your California king-sized bed. The second bedroom features a queen-sized bed and the third bedroom is perfect for your children with 2 bunk beds and a trundle bed. The third bedroom also has a flat-screen TV so guests can connect with their video games. You also have access to a pull out sofa sleeper in the living room for additional family members or guests.
*New hard wood flooring was added in the 2 back bedrooms Oct. 2021. Carpet reviews are no longer valid. Mattresses in bunk bed room have been replaced April 2022.

Located near the Balboa Pier, close to the heart of the action, this oceanfront, upper floor condo features a full-kitchen, new front loading washer and dryer inside the condo, wide-screen TVs, DVDs, and WiFi internet access throughout the condo. Linens and towels are provided. There is a private balcony that can be accessed from your master bedroom or living room that overlooks the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island. This condominium is nicely secured behind security gates, includes 2 personal parking spaces, and there is an elevator that will take you up to your top floor with the nicest of views.

The bike path that goes the entire length of the Balboa Peninsula is located directly outside your condo. Take pleasure in fine dining at the many highly-rated restaurants or simply turn on the BBQ and savor your own home-cooked gourmet meal. There's no need to wander too far from home for entertainment, shops, and beach fun. The Balboa Fun Zone is a short walk where you can easily find boat rentals, trips to Catalina, whale watching trips (though during their migration you can often see them from your balcony), charter a fishing trip, or take the kids to the old-fashioned arcade next to the Ferris Wheel.

The famous Balboa Island Ferry departs from the Fun Zone area every 10 minutes and takes you across Newport Bay to Balboa Island in a short 5 minute ferry ride where you will typically see sea lions, paddle boarders, kayaks, and luxury yachts. Sight-see and play during the day, then come home, pour yourself a glass of wine and relax on your private balcony to savor that spectacular ocean sunset. (SLP11688)

Right on the boardwalk and views of the ocean make it amazing! The Balboa Ferry and Fun Zone are only a block away. There are a lot of little shops and restaurants nearby. The unit is in great condition and definitely would recommend it! We plan on going back again!

Wonderful time!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit is lovely and spacious. It's only one block to the ferry and boardwalk, and close enough to the ocean to hear the waves breaking on the beach at night. The kitchen is modern and well stocked. The bedroom carpets needed to be cleaned, hopefully that's done before the next renters. In general we had a wonderful time and would love to come again.

Comfortable, Good Location and Excellent Customer Service

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I was traveling with my husband and 16 year old daughter for Spring Break. The condo was very clean (and I'm picky), every amenity we needed, beds were super comfortable, a good location (with the exception of Newport Beach/Balboa Peninsula traffic if you plan on coming and going off the peninsula which we did a great deal of touring all around the area. Great location for beach and boardwalk (we were happy to be on the 3rd floor). The management staff was exceptional. Peter took care of all of our needs and requests immediately. We were happy and surprised to find beach chairs, bikes and a beach umbrella provided and really enjoyed biking along the boardwalk. It was a safe location (we were always inside after dark though!). A tad noisy with nightlife until about 10-11pm but that was part of the ambiance. We would stay here again for sure! Thank you Newport Beach Vacation Rentals!

Great rental and great location!

My siblings and I took my mom here to celebrate her 80th birthday. The location was perfect for what we wanted, close to restaurants and easy access to the Balboa Island ferry. The guest portal was easy to use and had all the information we needed. It made the check-in and check-out process a breeze. There was also a lot of communication from the property management company, which I liked. The property was very clean and on the 3rd level of the condo complex, just high enough to get a great view of the ocean and not to hear much of the street level noise. Overall, we had a great time and would consider renting this unit again.

Weekend Getaway

The location of this property is amazing. It is walking distance to Balboa pier and it has an amazing view of the ocean. The condo is big and fit my family of 6 perfectly. The room was clean and and stocked with supplies such as shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, dishwasher soap, laundry soap, trash liners, etc. Check in was easy. The thing that I did not like was the condition of the sofa, pillows and bedding. The cushions on the sofa were deflated. The pillows on the beds were literally flat like pancakes--even if you folded over the pillow, it was flat. The bedding seemed old and there was not enough pillow cases for the pillows.

Our fifth time staying at these condos

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location, we always know we have to up with the noise, but it was workable. We had breakfast at the end of the pier and happy hour overlooking the bay. Kitchen is nicely equipped for our family get together, we haven’t stayed in this unit for two years and the furniture is getting warn.

It'a a great Beach House!!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 600 E Oceanfront 3G was all that the property description said it was. It's a great location, lovely property, clean, and well furnished. I highly recommend this condo. There's a King bedroom with full bath/shower, Queen bedroom and bunk room with 3 beds, that share a full bath/tub. The kitchen is very-well equipped. The gathering room is nice sized with lots of seating. There are two underground parking spaces and another space along the back--more than adequate and convenient. There are restaurants very closeby, bike rentals, boat to Balboa Island, entertainment , volleyball nets, Balboa Pier, and much more. Probably the only disadvantage is the noise/voices on the beach in the evening and early morning (especially in the queen bedroom). That's not a big deal... I hope we have another opportunity to stay there--would do so in a minute!

Check out instructions were simple, and the company was very easy to contact. It is right on the bike path, so you can’t beat the location or the views. We are already planning a return trip.

Ocean views

It took me a few minutes to figure out which gate had the entry box, but once I found it I was able to locate the condo easily. My family was excited to find the elevator. As we traversed up to the rental we found it was warm when we entered the residence, but expected that based on other reviews I read. This was easily remedied by opening the windows and utilizing the many fans which are provided. The home is decorated in lovely blues and greens and with the exception of a piece of captain crunch cereal under the coffee table, we found the home clean and ready for us. There are an ample amount of extra pillows in the closets along with hangers. With the exception of the bunk room, beds are comfortable. Bunk beds are adequate, the room doesn’t get good ventilation. We kept the bedrooms open which allowed for airflow from the one bedroom to the other. Monday morning I was awoken (windows were open to allow the ocean sounds and breeze to come waft through) by the not so lovely sounds of the street sweeper and buses. The buses stop regularly throughout the day as the condo is right behind the Balboa municipal parking lot. Location is wonderful if you like being close to the beach, near volleyball and fire pits , shops, and restaurants. We rented bikes and ate at a couple local places that were recommended-food was great. We would stay here again, but definitely only during the off season as we’re not fans of crowds.

Location is the only thing great about this rental

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit is in a nice location, right by the Balboa pier on one side and ferry to Balboa island on the other. Near to shops and with nice views and small balcony. On the other hand, the whole experience feels very "corporate" and managed. Not great supplies associated with the unit (no beach towels at all?), which in general felt pretty empty. Although the property was generally clean, it could use updating. The management company mentioned stains on the carpeting, and that was definitely the case. The unit is on the 3rd floor of a relatively big complex that is not easy to get in and out of (only one entrance), though it was nice to have a garage parking space. There was lots of email from the management company which felt overbearing and quite impersonal at times. I was grateful that after some prodding we were able to check-in at 2:30 rather than the stated time (4PM). In general, if you are selecting a property primarily on view & location, this would be fine, but don't expect a lot of extras or convenience.

It was just okay

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Not a bad view. Place was clean. Only super small cars fit in free parking garage/lot. Location to Balboa was nice. Right by parking lot is bad. There is no AC so we slept with windows and sliders open so EVERY morning you're woken up by street sweeper and trash truck. The key/remote situation sucks, need one to two more keys for convenience of potential 8 people staying there. Both bikes were VERY dirty (would be better to put a cover on them) and one bike didn't even work. Put in maint request and heard back that they would "let the owner know." Lock on master bath door is broken. Screens at sliders barely work and sometimes you can't open them at all. Proximity to beach is nice but I'd rather pay a bit more and get a place further from the parking lot. Washing machine had a lot of black mold in it so we closed it and took beach towels home mid week to wash. The mold could really be a health hazard. The place was decent and served it's purpose of getting us close to the beach with a nice view but probably wouldn't stay here again. Bunk beds did not appear to be twin size and mattresses were really thin. Master bed however was super comfortable. So, yeah, it was just "okay" nothing that absolutely killed the trip but nothing making me wanting to return. I tried to write this with honest descriptions so you know what would or would not affect another travelers stay here. Owner could improve on some things but others are just location/property based concerns. Hope this helps.
