Balboa Island Diamond Resort Home II
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Located in the heart of coveted Balboa Island, this newly modernized home, plus its ideal location, makes this a perfect place to return to after your various sea and land-based activities. Colorful western sunsets and starlit skies will be the backdrop for your evening activities, and during the day there are lots of fun things to do in Newport Beach with attractions focused on families, couples, being active, or being mellow. This home is a fun 5-minute ferry ride across from the well-known Balboa Fun Zone on the Balboa Peninsula, also within walking distance of the beach.
Enter this home after climbing the stairs and find yourself in a spacious, light great room that features a living room with a large TV and a comfortable seating cluster where you can relax, recharge, and reconnect with yourself, or others. An adjacent dining area is next to the newly modernized kitchen that has everything you need to satisfy your culinary desires. Just add the food and the camaraderie and have fun.
This little slice of paradise near the largest harbor on the West Coast is perfect for a small family or two couples vacation together. May it delight you and give you lots of special memories that will last a lifetime!
THINGS TO KNOW
