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!

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.

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.

We booked this listing based on the proximity to the beach and for a relaxing getaway, but were very uncomfortable during our stay. Unfortunately, there is a home under major construction one house away that starts promptly at 7am. Without air conditioning, the windows have to remain open (even in April/May), which left us listening to nail guns, hammering, and lumber dropping all day. The home is darling, but fairly dirty. Floors needed a deep cleaning and the area rugs felt gross underfoot. The glassware appeared dirty, so we washed everything we intended to use, but it remained (possibly being permanent hard water crust?). The upstairs bath jets had chunks of black moldy material that floated out when the tub filled. And most of the outdoor items for guest usage have been left to essentially rot (bike, kayaks). We REALLY appreciated having the outdoor heat lamp and tv replaced during our stay since they were non-functional on arrival. The master bedroom mattress definitely needs to be replaced! Sleeping in human-sized holes left us sore and cranky…followed up with early morning/all day construction noise was absolutely uncomfortable. It really is a darling house, though, with great potential for family fun and beach memories to be made once nearby construction ends and management gives the home a thorough once-over.

Very conveniently located by the beach, just a quick 2 minute walk away, if that. Very comfortable, clean, and nice home with plenty of spread-out space for lounging on those cloudy days. Kitchen stocked with utensils, cooking implements, and spices. Clean, functioning bathrooms, and very nice style. Missing A/C, but the cool ocean breeze, and open windows/fans made it so we did not miss any of that.

We had a fantastic stay! The location was perfect for us. Quiet street away from the spring break chaos, yet a quick bike ride or walk to town. Only a 2 min walk to the beach path and sand on the ocean side. Also, a quick 1 min walk to the bay side beach. We enjoyed being centrally located between the two piers with easy access to both piers by foot, bike, or skateboard. We really enjoyed paddling around the bay on the included kayaks. The house was well stocked with many beach chairs, one bike, boogie boards, beach towels, sand toys, and more. The kitchen was also well stocked with many spices, seasonings and other kitchen essentials that I was grateful I didn’t have to purchase. We were traveling with our college age kids and some of their friends and everyone had a fantastic time. The house itself is charming with a lot of vintage character. The upstairs bathroom is quirky and tight, but that wouldn’t keep me from highly recommending and coming back again and again.
