PENTHOUSE OCEANFRONT Remodeled 3BED CONDO Sleeps 9

This 3 BR / 2 BA condo with panoramic ocean views is a gorgeous upscale designer's dream vacation home featuring hardwood floors, granite counter-tops, stainless steel appliances, and casual beach-style themed furnishings.

The location of this condo is truly in one of the premier spots on the entire Peninsula. You will have spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean, Newport Beach, Catalina Island, and the famous Balboa Pier from the balcony of your 3rd floor vacation property. You are so close to the water you will hear the waves crashing when you go to bed at night and wake up in the morning to a beautiful sunrise. The master bedroom has ocean views from the comfort of your California king-sized bed. The second bedroom features a queen-sized bed and the third bedroom is perfect for your children with 2 bunk beds and a trundle bed. The third bedroom also has a flat-screen TV so guests can connect with their video games. You also have access to a pull out sofa sleeper in the living room for additional family members or guests.
*New hard wood flooring was added in the 2 back bedrooms Oct. 2021. Carpet reviews are no longer valid. Mattresses in bunk bed room have been replaced April 2022.

Located near the Balboa Pier, close to the heart of the action, this oceanfront, upper floor condo features a full-kitchen, new front loading washer and dryer inside the condo, wide-screen TVs, DVDs, and WiFi internet access throughout the condo. Linens and towels are provided. There is a private balcony that can be accessed from your master bedroom or living room that overlooks the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island. This condominium is nicely secured behind security gates, includes 2 personal parking spaces, and there is an elevator that will take you up to your top floor with the nicest of views.

The bike path that goes the entire length of the Balboa Peninsula is located directly outside your condo. Take pleasure in fine dining at the many highly-rated restaurants or simply turn on the BBQ and savor your own home-cooked gourmet meal. There's no need to wander too far from home for entertainment, shops, and beach fun. The Balboa Fun Zone is a short walk where you can easily find boat rentals, trips to Catalina, whale watching trips (though during their migration you can often see them from your balcony), charter a fishing trip, or take the kids to the old-fashioned arcade next to the Ferris Wheel.

The famous Balboa Island Ferry departs from the Fun Zone area every 10 minutes and takes you across Newport Bay to Balboa Island in a short 5 minute ferry ride where you will typically see sea lions, paddle boarders, kayaks, and luxury yachts. Sight-see and play during the day, then come home, pour yourself a glass of wine and relax on your private balcony to savor that spectacular ocean sunset. (SLP11688)

Check out instructions were simple, and the company was very easy to contact. It is right on the bike path, so you can’t beat the location or the views. We are already planning a return trip.

Great location, expensive cleaning fees.
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented the property for a weekend to finish out a business trip. It has a fantastic location, right on the beach. Everything was great. Our only complaint is the cleaning fee is about 2-3 times what anyone else has ever charged me on VRBO. But if you are looking for a nice condo on the beach in a great location this is your place.

Wonderful time!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The unit is lovely and spacious. It's only one block to the ferry and boardwalk, and close enough to the ocean to hear the waves breaking on the beach at night. The kitchen is modern and well stocked. The bedroom carpets needed to be cleaned, hopefully that's done before the next renters. In general we had a wonderful time and would love to come again.

Great Location in Balboa
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo has all the amenities you would need and the location can not be beat.Close to everything in the Balboa area. Park in the reserved parking space and enjoy all that Balboa has to offer , all within walking distance.Some reviews complained about the noise level ,but we never found that to be a problem ( you are right by the pier and beach so there is going to be some noise , but that is to be expected). The bedrooms are very comfortable and the views from the family room are awesome.Would definitely stay here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We returned this year to this property after having stayed last year for a month in January. As before, everything was just perfect. The unit's location, appearance, size, view,convenience to the bike way, pier, beach, and Balboa Island were exactly what we wanted. The underground parking with two spaces was also a great feature. We hope to come back sometime, and would definitely recommend it to someone else. Interaction with the rental team was very prompt and professional.

Beach Escape
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was nice and in a great location. It had a nice view and was in good shape. The downside was no ac and the unit was a bit hot so we had to sleep with windows open which was nice but due to the location a bit noisy at night and early morning. If had ac then could shut windows and have a nice sleep. The other bummer was the skylight in the bunk room where the kids sleep would wake them bright and early, would have been nice to have a cover on that. Otherwise the place was great! Clean and in a great spot.

Beach Weekend
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Stayed for a quick weekend beach getaway. Arrived late only to find out I was given the wrong code to open the front door. After half an hour of waiting, they finally found someone to give me a couple of codes to try. Condo was beautiful and well decorated. No air conditioning which normally wouldn't be a problem but on super hot summer days, makes for an uncomfortable stay. Everything is convenient but location is noisy which is the trade off for being in the heart of the action. In general we enjoyed our stay, kitchen was well equipped and everything was clean and in order.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I read the reviews on this place before booking and noted the "noise" factor. We packed our white noise machine and as long as we closed all the master bedroom windows at night (including small bathroom window), we had no issues with noise. The check-in and check-out process was very smooth and simple, though it would have been nice if check-out had been a little later, as our flight did not leave until after 5pm and we had to be out by 10am. The house was exactly like the pictures and extremely comfortable, not to mention, the location couldn't have been more perfect...very convenient to everything. Being from Texas, I was concerned with the unit having no AC but with the small fans in each room, we slept very comfortably. I would definitely stay here again!

Comfortable, Good Location and Excellent Customer Service
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I was traveling with my husband and 16 year old daughter for Spring Break. The condo was very clean (and I'm picky), every amenity we needed, beds were super comfortable, a good location (with the exception of Newport Beach/Balboa Peninsula traffic if you plan on coming and going off the peninsula which we did a great deal of touring all around the area. Great location for beach and boardwalk (we were happy to be on the 3rd floor). The management staff was exceptional. Peter took care of all of our needs and requests immediately. We were happy and surprised to find beach chairs, bikes and a beach umbrella provided and really enjoyed biking along the boardwalk. It was a safe location (we were always inside after dark though!). A tad noisy with nightlife until about 10-11pm but that was part of the ambiance. We would stay here again for sure! Thank you Newport Beach Vacation Rentals!

It'a a great Beach House!!
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 600 E Oceanfront 3G was all that the property description said it was. It's a great location, lovely property, clean, and well furnished. I highly recommend this condo. There's a King bedroom with full bath/shower, Queen bedroom and bunk room with 3 beds, that share a full bath/tub. The kitchen is very-well equipped. The gathering room is nice sized with lots of seating. There are two underground parking spaces and another space along the back--more than adequate and convenient. There are restaurants very closeby, bike rentals, boat to Balboa Island, entertainment , volleyball nets, Balboa Pier, and much more. Probably the only disadvantage is the noise/voices on the beach in the evening and early morning (especially in the queen bedroom). That's not a big deal... I hope we have another opportunity to stay there--would do so in a minute!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo unit was exactly as described in the VRBO description; beautifully furnished and very clean. Check-in was the easiest process I have ever encountered. The front door is coded and prior to our trip all access codes were emailed to us. We never had to "check-in" with anyone. It was a warm weekend; so we contacted Ed (the property manager" and he was extremely helpful. He went out and purchased 2 oscillating floor fans for the unit which was a big help. Ed answered our questions and more than willing to assist. I also want to thank Jamie who handled our reservations. She was courteous and professional and answered all our questions prior to arriving at the condo. Thank you Jamie! Just a few items the owner might consider: a blind in the 3rd bedroom window (outside staircase light which remains on at all hours, shines into this room) and a screen door on the arcadia door in the living room. Other than these two items, the place was beautiful, location was perfect for our trip, and the people involved in the booking and management were exceptional to work with.
