About this property

On the Boardwalk with views of the Ocean & Balboa Pier--steps to the Fun Zone

Sitting on one of the most desirable corners of Newport, rests this peaceful 3 bedroom, 2 bath vacation condo. Boasting 1300 square feet, this condo has recently gone through a total renovation, including new furniture and appliances. A calm and modern atmosphere awaits you at this beach escape.

Fond memories will easily be made in this open living and dining room, whether you decide to play some of the provided games, watch a favorite movie, or reminisce about moments at the beach. Attached to the living area is a roomy, raised patio outfitted for sunbathing, entertaining and barbecuing. And you don’t have to be a seasoned chef to enjoy what our kitchen supplies; from cooking spices and storage containers to granite countertops and new appliances, the kitchen contains everything you need to make simple snacks for a day at the beach or a delicious dinner for the whole family. The master bedroom enjoys an ocean view from a comfortable queen bed, private bath, television and access to the patio. The second bedroom has a queen bed, television, and a view of the Historic Balboa Pier, while the last bedroom has a full and single bunk bed. All three televisions have access to DirecTV, so no one has to miss their favorite sitcom or drama while on vacation. There is also an in-unit washer and dryer and WiFi for your convenience.

The condo is located just steps away from many popular activities such as boating, paddle boarding, kayaking, and the famous Balboa Fun Zone and Ferris wheel. Local bike rentals are within walking distance. If you want to venture off the boardwalk, you are only a short stroll to the Balboa Island Ferry, which will take you to Balboa Island for shopping and delightful food adventures. You are 30 minutes from Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm and upscale shopping at Fashion Island, and only 1½ hours to San Diego.

The complex features a private gated entry, elevator access, and a gated parking garage with two private parking spaces for vehicles ***with a maximum height of 6 feet.***

Clean, elegant condo in a wonderful location

We loved our rental experience here. The location was wonderful and the condo was very spacious for the five of us (four adults and one child)--our only regret is that we didn't book more time there--we were left with so many more things to see and do!

Great location, great condo

This is our go-to condo for weekends at the beach. Located right in the heart of the peninsula, it is perfect for a weekend biking and beach adventure. And with teenagers, always something to do. The local restaurants are great, but we also cook a few meals in the easy to use kitchen. Feels like home!

Stay at Sandy Toes

Perfect location. Corner unit on the beach, with the Balboa Pier right behind you. Owners of the condo were very, very nice, and provided clear communication to make this a very enjoyable stay. The condo itself was wonderful. We had plans to do some events outside of Newport, but never left the area, as we loved the condo and location so much.

We arrived late and had no issues checking in. Upon arrival we were very happy with our accommodations. The place was very clean and spacious for the six adults staying. Very secure building. Use of the garage space worked very well. We loved our weekend and would definitely stay again if we are on the area again.

a very nice place and in a great location.

Very awkward key situation. I suggest a better system for providing the key, versus mailing it in an envelope that can rip open and let the key fall out. The key lock box in the garage is hard to see and the keys do not fit well into it.

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie Mendenhall

Host profile image
Our family has spent summer vacations on the peninsula for over 50 years. My husband and I purchased the condo to be able to provide opportunities for other families to make lasting memories.

Why they chose this property

We have many fond memories of going to the Fun Zone riding the Historic Ferris Wheel, fishing off the Balboa Pier (no permit required), eating at Ruby''s and riding the Balboa Ferry. This location is within walking distance of all these activities and much more.

What makes this property unique

The patio gives visitors a view of the beautiful Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island, and is located in a central location to all kinds of fun activities.
