Enjoy and relax in this classic Newport Beach single family home that has both upgrades and classic charm geared towards family vacations. You (and your dog) are invited to enjoy our classic 4 bedroom/2 bath beach house. This is a single family home and is the only residence on the lot. Perfect for families with children with it's private front yard. Modern amenities and classic conveniences blend seamlessly with the classic beach community of the Newport Peninsula!



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 less than three short blocks from the best stretch of beach in town one direction, and just steps from a bayside 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!

The TV will allow you to log into your Netflix account! Just a few steps from the main living area is the master bedroom with and amazing balcony. Two of the other guest rooms are also on the upper floor of the home.



The lower level has the the kitchen, dining area, and a second living room to serve as a central meeting point. The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking/dining gear. You can choose to cook your meal on the outdoor grill or in the kitchen! The main countertop serves as both prep and dining space. You'll be sure to enjoy the kitchen if you decide to eat in and make a great meal during your vacation. The recently updated lower living room has a view of the front yard and can be accessed through the large patio doors. We think this new living is going to be perfect for families and kids!

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 sit down 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 $100. All rentals over 29 days will require a refundable security deposit.



Please note that our properties may have electronic devices installed such as electronic locks, front door cameras, or noise monitors. There are no video devices inside the property.

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

Family Vacation

My husband and I stayed with our 2 daughters and their husbands over the holiday. We also had one 16 month granddaughter with us. The extra room for her to sleep was great. A relative got us a pack n play, high chair, and toys from a rental company which worked out perfectly. We enjoyed our stay immensely. The negatives were the cleanliness of the kitchen. Also when we arrived the floors had just been mopped yet our socks turned grey from the floor the 1st day. There was only 1 towel per person for showering and only a few kitchen towels. I ended up buying some. We cooked and grilled often so the kitchen was used a lot. The weather was definitely cool so beach time was limited but we did walk quite a bit to a variety of places. Having a washer and dryer was great too. Parking was not an issue.

Great Quiet House

I've been renting houses in NB for >10 years and 821 W. Bay is located in a very quiet neighborhood. Yes, I would rent again and also recommend this house to others but want share my pros/cons. Positives: Quiet neighborhood, walk to the beach is easy and there is very nice bay access just a few steps away. The best features for us was the large living spaces (specifically the 2 living rooms & bedrooms) along with a nice grassy area for the dog. The house was adequately stocked and I only had to supply 1 roll of paper towels. Manager was very responsive & even sent reminders to on garbage days. There is a lot of street parking close by the house. Negatives: I had a feeling the bathrooms would be an issue by the lack of photos on the rental sites. Both bathrooms are extremely small. Although parking behind the garage worked well, we were barely able to fit (1) small compact car in the space and had to back the car out when doing laundry or grabbing beach chairs/wagon.

Perfect location!

My partner and I came with our kids for the week and this was the perfect location to easily get to the Balboa and Newport Piers. It's the perfect little quiet street. The front lawn was a great little spot for the kids to play. Having the whole house was perfect for all 6 of us. Great couches to lounge on and good beds and showers. The kitchen had plenty of space and was well stocked with what we needed to cook. Easy to check in and park in the back. The master was huge and the deck was relaxing. We are already thinking of booking this house again next year.

Newport beach convenience

Our stay here was great. The kitchen is well stocked,the living areas are spacious, bedrooms comfortable. The only negative is the small bathrooms, but that didn't affect our experience here. The house is walkable to the Balboa Island ferry and only a block from the ocean beach. This was a great find for our family vacation and I would highly recommend it!

Family Vacation

This was an all-around amazing experience, and we loved your home. We are already planning our next year's vacation and hope to be able to stay at this same property again as it was perfectly located and met all of our needs. Just a few things to mention, the blinds in the master bedroom on the doors should be replaced as they are damaged, and some are missing some slats. Perhaps some privacy curtains on top of the doors would make a great addition and give a great sense of privacy. Some door locks on the master bedroom doors would also be a great addition. We took the blue beach umbrella from the garage to the beach and found the base to be broken so we couldn't set it up. The yellow one was brand new and in perfect working condition, so we were grateful for that. We were awoken early by some construction on a house just a couple doors down on 5 out of the 7 days we were there. Definitely an inconvenience but won't stop me from giving a 5-star review as everything else other than the construction, umbrella, and master bedroom doors were amazing.
