Beautiful condo, close to the beach!

We enjoyed our stay at the condo. It was clean and very comfortable with lots of amenities. I loved the location it was only a house away from the beach. We were also close to the park, restaurants, and shops and Everything is within walking distance. I highly recommend staying here and I hope to return again in the future.

Perfect Location

What a beautiful place to stay for a beach adventure! Close to the shops, the beach, balboa pier and endless fun. The roof top patio is the gem of this location. We spend countless hours just enjoying the beauty of being able to see the Pacific Ocean on one side and the balboa harbor on the other. The owner was excellent and the place was spotless when we arrived. We were very happy!

A wonderful stay!

The home was just as pictured. Great location walkable to beach, we loved the rooftop deck, and it fit our family of 9 (including an infant and 3 toddlers) well. We were there for a Disneyland trip and it was a quick 20-25 minute drive there each day. We were even able to squeeze our 10 person passenger van into the garage no problem. Loved it!

Fantastic vacation home with perfect location!

We were thrilled with this vacation home!! The home had everything you would need for the perfect vacation! The kitchen was well stocked. There were beach towels, toys, chairs and boogie boards for the beach! The beds were very comfortable and the bedrooms were a great size. Everyone had their own space! The home is walking distance from everything on the peninsula!! A quick walk to the boardwalk, pier, FunZone and beach. The Wedge was only a mile away and we walked or ran down often to see the surfers. The boardwalk is also perfect for a run or walk. There are many activities on the peninsula and tons of great restaurants. The owners were so kind and wonderful to work with. I am already planning my next trip and will definitely stay in this home again!

Things to note about this listing

Here are some items not mentioned clearly in the listing some might find helpful. 1. This is a condo and is the upstairs unit. This unit may not be suitable for people with mobility issues or families with small children. The stairs are cement with an open railing design. 2. There is very little view of the beach from the rooftop, you can see somewhat through the buildings in front and behind you. What you can see is everyone else's rooftop and alley. The location is walking distance to the beach and close to the pier. 3. This house is on a main street, sitting on the balcony gives you no view except for the road itself which can get busy during the day. 4. You have to share the 2-car garage with the downstairs unit and because of sharing you cannot fit a truck or SUV. The parking on the street is minimal so this was a real pain. There was trench digging out front, so it was particularly hard for us to find parking. You cannot park in the alley as you will be blocking your neighbors.

Perfect location

We came back to Orange County for a wedding and instead of getting multiple hotel rooms we decided to get this perfect condo for our extended family. 8 adults and 2 kids had plenty of room and beds for us all. Being walking distance to Balboa pier and family fun zone was exactly what we were looking for. The rooftop patio with hot tub and views off the ocean was what set this place above anywhere else. We will definitely look for it’s availability next time we’re in town.

Great Family Friendly Vacay Spot

Great property for a family friendly vacation. Beautiful remodeled interior and exterior. It has everything you need. Great location, walking distance to beach, restaurants, shopping, and water activities. If you have more than one vehicle in your group, you will struggle to find parking for 2nd vehicle but spots on the street do open up frequently or beach parking is free from 6pm-8am. To park on the street you just have to watch and wait and swoop in quickly. AC isn’t quite big enough to keep the living areas cool in the heat of the day. But fans are provided and you can open doors and windows or just go to the beach!

Nice home and great location

Our stay was great. The home is nice and the location perfect. I had a couple of questions for Michelle and she responded almost instantly. The bikes and beach gear in the garage to use were very convenient since we had kids and didn't have to buy anything. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks!

Perfect Beach Rental!

Loved our stay here. The location was excellent - easy 2 minute walk to the beach. The property is very well maintained, clean, spacious and quiet. We loved having room to spread out and enjoy our own space. Having a garage was very convenient as parking in the area is tricky. We were able to walk to many things, including the fun zone, restaurants, etc. The owner cares a lot about her guests' comfort. When I notified her of a broken coffee maker, she had a replacement delivered within two hours along with coffee! Loved it so much we plan to return next summer. In sum, highly recommend!

GREAT place to stay

We just spent 5 nights in this condo and everything was perfect! Clean, spacious, nicely decorated and plenty to do within walking distance. As you walk on the boardwalk and see how busy it is, you may appreciate (like we did) that this one is one block away. Just a fraction of the people walking by as you enjoy the patio. The owner sent an email after we arrived to make sure everything was as we expected. It was! We would, and probably will, return to this rental again some day.

About the host

About Me
Hi, I'm Michelle. I'm a Southern California local with a love for sunshine, hospitality, and creating unforgettable beach getaways. As your host at 909 East Balboa, my goal is to provide a seamless and relaxing experience—from the moment you book to the moment you check out.

I’ve thoughtfully curated every detail of this home to make sure it’s comfortable, stylish, and equipped with everything you need for an amazing stay—whether you’re here for a family vacation, a weekend with friends, or a peaceful coastal escape.

I’m always nearby (or just a message away!) if you need local recommendations, have a question, or just want the inside scoop on where to catch the best sunset.

Looking forward to hosting you in beautiful Newport Beach!

Why they chose this property

There’s no shortage of vacation rentals in Newport Beach—but 909 East Balboa stands out for its unbeatable location, luxurious rooftop deck, and thoughtful design that blends comfort and style.

We chose this property because it offers the best of everything: steps from the beach and the bay, yet tucked into a peaceful, walkable neighborhood. From the moment you step inside, you’ll notice the light-filled layout, spacious interiors, and high-end finishes that make it feel like a true retreat—not just another rental.

The 500-square-foot rooftop deck was a game-changer for us. It’s rare to find a space where you can soak in a hot tub, fire up the grill, gather around a fire pit, and still have ocean and bay views—all from your own private perch above Newport.

We’ve put care into every detail, from the chef’s kitchen and comfy beds to the beach gear, tech amenities, and pet-friendly touches—because we believe your vacation should feel effortless and exceptional.

Whether you're planning a family getaway, a reunion, or just a few relaxing days by the ocean, this home delivers the kind of experience that keeps guests coming back.

What makes this property unique

What makes 909 East Balboa unforgettable? Here are the standout features that make this home truly special:

🌅 Massive Rooftop Deck with Hot Tub & Fire Pit
Enjoy one of the largest private rooftop decks on the Balboa Peninsula—complete with a hot tub, fire pit table, lounge seating, and BBQ grill. It's the ultimate space for entertaining or relaxing under the stars, with views of both the ocean and bay.

🚶‍♂️ Unbeatable Walkability
Leave the car behind—you're just a 2-minute walk to both the beach and the bay. The Balboa Pier, Fun Zone, Balboa Ferry, and island shops and eateries are all steps from your door.

🏠 Spacious & Stylish Interior
With 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, this upper-level unit is perfect for families, couples, or groups, offering a modern coastal design, open-concept living, and plenty of space to spread out.

🐶 Pet-Friendly with Thoughtful Touches
We welcome your well-behaved furry family members! The home is pet-friendly with a small fee and includes local recommendations for pet-friendly spots nearby.

🌴 Fully Stocked for Fun & Comfort
We’ve thought of everything—from beach gear (chairs, towels, boogie boards) to high-speed Wi-Fi, smart TVs, a chef’s kitchen, washer/dryer, and starter toiletries—so you can pack light and feel right at home.

💡 Smart Check-In & Local Support
Enjoy hassle-free self check-in via smart lock, plus responsive local guest support throughout your stay.
