Simply said, the location of this property is amazing. We are located on a quiet street on the Newport Beach Peninsula and there are two family friendly beaches nearby. Located two blocks from the best stretch of beach in town one direction, and just steps from a bayside beach in the other direction. The bayside beach has been called "Mother's Beach" by the family for years as it is safe for small children. All details have been thoughtfully planned and executed. Probably the most visible feature of the home is a fenced in front yard, something that most vacation homes in Newport Beach do not have. The home also features two living rooms for the family to enjoy. The front yard provides a spacious outdoor mix of seating and entertainment. The front yard and patio blends into a den and kitchen areas. Custom materials and tastefully-appointed furnishings dot the setting of this Craftsman inspired home that is relaxing, yet energizing at the same time: the perfect combination for any successful vacation stay!

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 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!
A Dog (1) is allowed with a pet fee of $150.

We loved this home. This part of Newport Beach is so quiet and serene.
Kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Home has a cozy vibe. The grass area was amazing for our dogs. Highly recommend!
Love this place. This was the second year we stayed here with our 2 kids and grandbabies. Already booked again for next year. Peaceful neighborhood. Short walk to beach. Rare nice front lawn. No problem with parking.
My family really enjoyed our stay at your beautiful beach house. The short walk to the bay and ocean was wonderful. Having the use of the beach wagon, toys, chairs and towels was really nice. The house has a small garage that we used to keep all of the bicycles we brought. Street parking in front of the house for our second vehicle was never a problem. Scott was very quick to help when we had a minor issue with needing propane for the bbq. The house was a great fit for our multi generational family beach vacation
We really enjoyed our stay with our family at this nicely located home. It had all the things we needed for a great time. Kitchen had everything to make meals, beach toys for the kids, and a nice little yard for them to play. We would enjoy staying here again. Thanks to Scott the host for his help. We appreciate it.
Comfortable, well-equipped home in a perfect location. Ocean and Bay within a very short walk. A very enjoyable stay.

Access to beach and ferry was great. The fenced in yard was a plus for the grandchildren. The only negative is the size of the bathrooms but not a deal breaker at all
I would stay here again.
The place is just as described. Location was so perfect for us. We had our three year-old grandson and he really enjoyed walking just a half a block and enjoying the sandy beach. We were in walking distance to the fun zone and it was very quiet. Great place for our pups as it had a little grass area that was fenced in so we could let them out without worrying the upstairs bonus room area was very comfy for hanging out Overall, we had a great experience
Perfect place on Balboa Peninsula for small family gathering
We stayed in this property to revisit the place where my parents met and were married 54 years ago. The house was perfectly located in the middle of it all, and we were able to walk and ferry to most places we visited.
Wonderful home! Worked perfectly for our family and dog. The garage is a bit small because of the washer and dryer but the space behind the garage is plenty big for parking. The home has everything you need to relax in beautiful Newport Beach. Communication with host was quick and responsive. The friendly text reminder about the garbage was very helpful. I’ve been visiting Newport Beach for 25 years and this home ranks high on our list.
