About the property

This 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom front unit Balboa Island charmer, just a quick walk away from the waterfront, is a perfect place for your next family vacation.

A quaint beach cottage with a wonderful front patio with a BBQ for you and your family to enjoy. The home has an open concept living space, with a dining table that seats 6, a family room that includes a flat screen Smart TV, and Wi-Fi for the entire home. The home has a fully equipped galley-style kitchen and the home also has a laundry room with a washer and dryer.

The master bedroom in the back of the home includes a queen-sized bed, ample closet space and natural light. The second bedroom, perfect for the kids, has a triple twin bunk bed and additional closet space.

This adorable beach cottage is close to the Balboa Ferry that can take you across the bay to the Fun Zone or the many pristine beaches along the Newport Peninsula. You can also walk down the path along the island beaches to Marine Avenue to grab a bite to eat or check out the local shops.

Excellent Rental Property

Rosie K.

★★★★★

We love Balboa Island, and this property did not disappoint. We rented both units for our large group and it worked out just great. Plenty of space, close enough to the ferry and bay but quiet and secluded.

This place was great and right in the middle of everything you’d hope to be around in Newport Beach. The neighborhood is very quiet, so something to keep in mind depending on your plans. Overall, would highly recommend.

We loved this rental! It was so cute and totally worked for us. It's how the homes on Balboa were when I was growing up, so it's exactly what we were looking for. Super cute, clean, and quiet. Close to the ferry and totally decent parking.

Reply: Thank you so much for the review, Heather! We're so glad you loved the place & that it brought back some memories! We hope to host you again!

This is a perfect beach cottage for a small family. The three kids loved the triple bunkbeds! We love the island and enjoyed our stay. This cottage has everything you need to be comfortable and happy. Parking on the street was not a problem - there was always space near the cottage. This location is great,.
Being near the ferry made it easy to take a little excursion across the bay to the "big" beach. We love Balboa - thank you!

Reply: Thank you for the lovely review, Cynthia! We are so glad that you had an enjoyable stay and we hope to host you again when you return to Balboa!
