Peaceful & Private Retreat | Bayside Apartment | Fully-Appointed | Walk to all the Hot Spots!

Just 100 feet away, 9th Street Bay Beach invites effortless days by the water, from swimming to paddleboarding. While the home itself is tucked away without direct views, a short stroll reveals serene bay scenery with sailboats, yachts, and distant mountain backdrops.

LIVING & DINING AREAS:
Open-concept living, kitchen, and dining area featuring a leather sofa, two matching armchairs, and a streaming TV. A wall heater adds comfort, while sliding glass doors open to a spiral staircase leading down to the rear patio. Enjoy your meals at the dining table with ample seating for six.

Great visit

The property is a great spot for a small family. Easy access to the beach and marina. Parking is crazy, but if you rent bikes, it is super easy to get around. We had a great time.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

We booked this house very last minute and for our family of 4 it was a perfect spot. It’s about a 15 minute walk in either direction to get to the main hustle and bustle of Newport and/or Balboa. Very clean, easy checkin and out. I would stay again l! Thanks so much!

We definitely felt welcome. Our stay was good and cozy. Everything was clean with basic essentials. Walking distance from the beach was great! But I do recommend a wall AC unit. We had all the windows open and ceiling fans on during the day.

Perfect stay for Getaway

The home was conveniently located close enough to the beach, yet away from the chaos. The check-in/out process was quick and easy and the staff was awesome to work with. We had no issues with parking. However, I can see that it could be troublesome in the busy season. Overall, a great place to stay!! We will definitely be back!!

Really enjoy the location and one of the cleanest rentals we’ve ever stayed in.

Only disappointment was the pictures show a balcony which I believe is misleading, no access to it. The rental office said the picture was just to show their rental sign, still believe it’s misleading considering the view of the marina is across the street.

I had a wonderful time

My family and I had a wonderful time staying 9 days on the Bay side with a gorgeous view of the harbor. Our only issue was a burned out lightbulb that we couldn't reach, which was replaced within hours of our notification. This was our first rental with Beachview but certainly not our last.

Awesome Little Rental with Great Vibes!

Rental was clean, plenty of space for up to 4 people. Location was superb for all beach related activities. Only SMALL complaints I have if you’d even call them complaints is that being at the mercy of street parking was slightly inconvenient but only once or twice (just walk or bike places and save the trouble) and the bed is quite dated and I really believe should be upgraded to a King size. All in all the rest of the experience was superb, so happy we got to stay there!

Quality Interior. Nicely supplied. Great Value.

This unit is very nice inside feeling more like it is furnished to be someone's nice beach home rather than a rental. Access is from the back alley but the alley is very clean. We parked right by the gate to unload/load and then found street parking nearby. Access to the bay-side beach is a one-minute walk. Access to the ocean-side is just five minutes. We would stay hear again. We we arrived it felt and looked VERY clean inside, certainly good with the pandemic ongoing
