Perfectly positioned between the lively hubs of Newport Beach’s two piers, this central stretch of the Balboa Peninsula offers one of the most convenient and activity-filled settings on the coast. With the beach in one direction and Newport Harbor in the other, guests can easily move between wide sandy beaches, bayfront recreation, local restaurants and shops, and other classic coastal attractions.
Stroll the boardwalk between the piers, enjoy a surf session, or head toward the harbor side of the peninsula for boat rentals, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing excursions, whale-watching tours, and trips to Catalina Island. Leave the car behind and explore local favorites such as Marina Park, the waterfront Lighthouse Café, the historic Dory Fleet Fish Market, Balboa Village, the Balboa Fun Zone, and the Balboa Island Ferry, all within easy walking or biking distance.
For additional shopping and dining, Lido Marina Village and Fashion Island are just a short drive away, offering everything from harborfront restaurants and local boutiques to luxury retailers and upscale dining.

Very nice and peaceful location— an unobstructed view of the bay. As many have said, the furnishings are dated, but the house overall is very comfortable and kept up nicely.Communication with the host was excellent.

Hi Sylvia, thank you for your feedback. We're delighted you enjoyed your beach rental and your time in Newport! It was a pleasure hosting you and we look forward to next time.

Checkin was easy. Location is great! Quiet neighborhood and bay across the street. Like others said - the house is a bit dated. Carpet in a beach house (dog friendly house) is weird but we brought dog gates and blocked off carpeted areas to be safe. Downstairs shower is dated and made for short people. However the main bedroom upstairs is fabulous with a balcony and the downstairs sitting room with view of the bay is beautiful! Kitchen dated but well stocked and usable. I’d recommend this place for a 3BR!

Thank you for your comments, Cynthia. We’re glad you enjoyed the great location! We agree the upstairs bedroom with a balcony and the downstairs sitting room with the bay view are beautiful! We appreciate your feedback on the home and will share it with our operations team. We appreciate your recommendation, and hope to see you again. Kind regards, BVR
Yes! Both things are key to a successful beach trip :) Thank you for taking the time to share your review - we greatly appreciate it!

Hi Selena, thank you very much for the feedback. We're delighted you enjoyed your stay and that you found your beach rental to be central and relaxing (mornings w/ a view are just the best, aren't they!). It was a pleasure hosting you and we look forward to next time! -Beachview Realty
This house is in a great location with beautiful views. It rained all week so we didn’t get to take full advantage of the beach. The house is dated and could use some upgrades but the location is the best and it was clean.
Hi Carolyn, we're thrilled to know you enjoyed this home's bayfront location and its great views of the water, boats, etc. If there was anything unsatisfactory about you stay, please feel free to reach out to us so we can remedy the situation. Our thanks!
