About this house rental

If you love the beach, barbeques, boat rides and sand on your feet all day, then you've just stepped into the coziest of beach cottages on Balboa Island. Our home sleeps up to 10 guests. The first three bedrooms downstairs comprises of the following: Bedroom one, Queen bed with make-up vanity mirror and 1/2 bath. Bedroom two consists of 1 queen bed with full bath, with shower no tub. The third bedroom consists of 4 bunk beds with a small vanity sink/mirror. One bunk on the ground floor and three bunkbeds above accessible by ladder. The fourth bedroom is the primary bedroom and consists of a vanity make-up mirror and full bathroom with tub/shower combination. The primary is located out the back kitchen door upstairs a flight of stairs above the garage. The house is two houses down from the Newport Beach Bay, where you can see sail boats passing by from the front patio as you sip your favorite beverage around our firepit. Balboa Island is an amazing man made island with many fun activities to do and tons of shops and eateries on marine Ave. Across a short 4 min ferry ride and you can be at the "Fun-Zone", where there is more shopping Ferris Wheel rides and more. Everything is in walking distance, or take our brand new 2022 golf cart for a spin! After a fabulous day on the beach, take a hot shower in our outdoor patio shower and get ready for the nightlife. Our home provides a kayak, golf cart, SUPs, 4 beach cruisers, beach chairs, umbrellas and towels. A tradition on the island is having a balboa bar or frozen banana on Marine Ave after dinner. It's a must! The island has it's own fire department, post office, and church. Our guests also have access to boat rentals to take you around the harbor and out to see many of the seal lions, dolphins and whales. This is a great way to see the sights and the multimillion dollar homes and yachts that outline the harbor. Lastly we do team up with our local Luxe Sprinter Vans for trips out to the wine country, which is only an hour and a 1/2 drive. We love it there and the wines and vineyards are terrific. Inquire with Adam.

We stayed at this house in Newport Beach for my sisters bachelorette weekend trip. It was the PERFECT house. Just steps from the beach and the house came with a golf cart we could use. The neighbors were so nice, the house was clean and decorated really nicely and had all the cooking appliances and towels we could ever need. The host was extremely responsive and always ensured we had everything we needed to have a fun relaxing stay at his property. 10/10 - could not recommend this place enough. I will definitely be back.

Everything about this stay was exemplary- the host, the home, the location. Adam was attentive, responsive and helpful. The home is beautiful, well appointed and spotlessly clean. We would definitely return!

Location was perfect on the island. You can sit on beach on bay just one house away so it as so easy to get a chair or drinks right from the house. Golf cart access was the best part as we ate many meals on Marine Ave thanks to easy drive on cart. We highly recommend. Owner was so easy to deal with, we even extended our trip two extra days. It is one of the few homes that allows dogs and our first pets had a great time. Some reason listing says jacuzzi but there isn’t one. No big deal you will love it here.

The cottage is so cute!! Definitely has a footprint of an original beach cottage but remodeled beautifully. One thing I didn't realize from the pictures, is that you walk through one bedroom to get to the other, to get to the kids bedroom. It was strange at first but totally worked in the end. We were a little worried about the kids traipsing through our room in the morning but there was actually a door to the outside, then a door into the kitchen, so they could take that shortcut and leave people that want to sleep in alone. There is also a master suite above the garage, would have loved to sleep there but we have a 7 year old so she probably wouldn't have been comfortable with that seperation. Adam was amazingly easy and chill to work with, he answered all questions, and went above and beyond. The use of the golf cart is key!!! Easy golf cart parking, can take the kids to ruby beach with the available boogie boards, beach chairs and paddle board. We had so much fun, would def go back!!

We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay at this quintessential beach cottage! Great location, in fact we appreciated being one house back from the main Balboa walkway for the quiet enjoyment. The cottage was immaculate, beautifully decorated, and all the beds were super comfortable. Well stocked with everything we needed for home cooked meals. All of us loved having the golf cart for exploring the island and equipment for water activities. Owner was attentive and helpful. We will definitely be back!
