Locals know the three-mile-long stretch with the harbor on one side and broad, sandy California beaches on the other as “the Peninsula.” The Balboa Peninsula has two piers with a view of a shoreline, surfers, and sunbathers spanning for miles. A walk straight down Main Street brings you to the historic Balboa Pavilion.

The Balboa Peninsula has many sit down restaurants and quick food stops for people hitting the sand for a day at Balboa Beach, and the variety of bars and live music makes the Peninsula a regional nightlife destination. Some of the places locals hang out for good seafood and a casual fun atmosphere are the Crab Cooker and Woody’s Wharf. Anglers can bring home dinner from one of the sport-fishing vessels and whale watching enthusiasts can see some of nature’s most beautiful creatures up close, as Balboa Peninsula rentals and adventure boats launch early and often. A trip to the Peninsula wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Balboa Fun Zone, where the Ferris wheel has stood for years!

Perfect girls weekend
We had an amazing girls trip at this beach cottage. Only a couple blocks from the beach, we were able to get to the pier and restaurants in just 10 minutes. The house was clean and fit four of us perfectly using the sofa bed. Our host was very responsive and helpful. The garage was available to use for parking but is very steep as it is under the house. Easy to use once we got the hang of it. We would definitely stay here again!

Lovely home and location
This stay was booked last minute as we were supposed to be going to Maui. Despite it not being Hawaii, we were extremely satisfied with the house, the amenities and its proximity to the beach. The neighborhood felt very safe and we were able to walk to everywhere we went. Plenty of restaurants to choose from and the grocery store is literally at the end of the street. Would recommend this location and home.

Wonderful place in a perfect location for a beach getaway. Nice home overall. Needs some personal touches. Pots and pans were really bad and beds uncomfortable. the house was not thoroughly cleaned (hence toenails on dresser, outside table and patio not clean).

Amazing Place!
Our stay was exactly what we had hoped for ! Beautiful place great location everything you need . A warning on the garage parking . Maneuvering in the small space with an insanely steep slope is not for the faint of heart. Only a small to midsize car has a chance of making it in with room for the other units vehicle and curbside parking in the neighborhood is practically non existent so keep that in mind. Otherwise a fantastic place !

Fantastic trip to Newport Beach!
Our family was visiting our son who was playing in a college hockey tournament and wanted to have a convenient location to games and to beach. This house was absolutely perfect. 2 1/2 blocks to beach, shopping same distance and in great neighborhood! We stayed a week and could’ve stayed a year. Scott (property manager) was incredibly responsive to our couple questions and house was in great condition. I’d highly recommend this house to a smaller family of group (3-4 people at most).

Great place, great location!
We very much enjoyed our stay. Everything was as advertised, photos were an accurate depiction. The layout of the property was perfect for our family. Neighborhood was super safe - quick walk to beach and nice little park if you walk just around a couple of corners. We easily walked to restaurants/grocery store but it was quiet and off the main roads. We found the amenities to be sufficient, although some of the cookware (pots/pans) have seen better days. Beds were comfortable and rooms cozy. The updated bathrooms and kitchen are a nice clean touch. We enjoyed using the fireplace for ambience at night and lounging on the sofa. I will agree that the driveway in the garage is incredibly steep, we opted for street parking instead since we visited in off peak season. Will also agree with another review that the floors were fairly dirty upon arrival, I did a quick vacuum when we got there and all was good again. Had a couple questions upon check in/arrival and Scott was quick to respond and very helpful. Would certainly stay here again anytime and recommend to anyone looking for a clean, quiet and comfortable beach experience!

Nice property with excellent nearby amenities
Overall nice property and well appointed. Property owner/manager very responsive to our request for wine glasses and brought them right over (simply cannot drink a fine California cab sav out of a plastic cup!). Some areas of the rental are starting to look worn and/or need replaced ie: patio furniture, gas grill, mattress pad for sleeper sofa. The furniture in the living area was on the cheap side and not comfortable at all. Direct TV connection mostly sketchy. However, the beach location and nearby amenities were outstanding and the garage was handy for parking. The patio doors that open the width of the home are a great addition.

Great location, beautiful space
For a group of 2 couples it was perfect, we absolutely loved the outdoor space! The location was perfect, walkable to the store, some restaurants and to the beach. The house was exactly as described and great communication with the property manager. The parking situation is no joke, there is street parking, but it fills up very quickly and there is one spot in the garage, on a very steep decline. Highly recommend!
