Custom materials and furnishings have been carefully chosen for a monochromatic setting 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. 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!

Please be advised this is a NO PETS property. Please note that our properties may have electronic devices installed such as electronic locks, front door cameras, or noise monitors.

Spectacular, close to everything!
We had the pleasure of staying for at this house for 2 weeks. The home was perfect for 4 adults, it was clean and well-kept and in the perfect location to walk or ride bikes pretty much everywhere! The only suggestion I would make is to have thicker/nicer beach towels but other then that everything was wonderful!

Fantastic Rental
This beach rental was absolutely fantastic. Loved how close it was to the beach, bars, restaurants, shopping, and nail salon. We especially liked how the whole sliding glass door opens up to the patio so you’re not consistently opening and closing a door. The rental has been updated and was done beautifully. We will definitely be renting this one again for our next beach vacation.

Lovely home and location
This stay was booked last minute as we were supposed to be going to Maui. Despite it not being Hawaii, we were extremely satisfied with the house, the amenities and its proximity to the beach. The neighborhood felt very safe and we were able to walk to everywhere we went. Plenty of restaurants to choose from and the grocery store is literally at the end of the street. Would recommend this location and home.

Perfect girls weekend
We had an amazing girls trip at this beach cottage. Only a couple blocks from the beach, we were able to get to the pier and restaurants in just 10 minutes. The house was clean and fit four of us perfectly using the sofa bed. Our host was very responsive and helpful. The garage was available to use for parking but is very steep as it is under the house. Easy to use once we got the hang of it. We would definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed staying at this condo! It was clean, offered lots of dishes and cooking ware in the kitchen, new towels, fantastic location, and the large sliding door in the living room that opens up to the patio is amazing. We were very impressed with the responsiveness of the management company. Great communication! It was the perfect place for my family to stay and we will definitely consider this property again in the future.

Cozy condo ideally located on Balboa Peninsula near beach.
This unit was lovely and ideally located near the beach (perfect for sunsets), shops, restaurants, etc. Furnishings were comfortable and patio was very relaxing. Open air living room was enjoyable. Only hiccups were: 1) couldn't get ice maker to function; 2) floors could have used a thorough cleaning, as evidenced by color of bottoms of feet; 3) parking was quite challenging, even with having just one vehicle.

Fantastic trip to Newport Beach!
Our family was visiting our son who was playing in a college hockey tournament and wanted to have a convenient location to games and to beach. This house was absolutely perfect. 2 1/2 blocks to beach, shopping same distance and in great neighborhood! We stayed a week and could’ve stayed a year. Scott (property manager) was incredibly responsive to our couple questions and house was in great condition. I’d highly recommend this house to a smaller family of group (3-4 people at most).
