4 Bedroom House in Balboa Island, Newport Beach

Classic 1928 Balboa Island cottage, recently restored for your relaxing beach vacation, and featured in Cottages & Bugalow magazine. Located on the Little Island with a very short walk to all the shops & restaurants on Marine Ave, and only a few doors away from the famous Newport Bay. The cottage has Air-conditioning, plus ceiling fans, a coveted garage to park your car, and has 4 beach cruisers, 2 kayaks and 2 standup paddle boards to explore the Island. The Blue Door Cottage has one of the largest patios on the island which gives you plenty of room to enjoy outdoor dining and the sun right outside the blue dutch door. One of the highest rated homes on Balboa Island, the Blue Door Cottage was designed for families to enjoy time together and enjoy the bay.
Sleeps 8 people in 4 bedrooms, with 6 beds, and is not filled with bunk beds, pull out sofa beds or trundles to increase occupancy. The master has an Eastern King w TV, second bedroom has a Queen with a flat screen TV, third has two cute twin beds, and the 4th bedroom - The Little Mariners room, which looks like a ship with two built-in twin cots, for children, teens or smaller adults.
The charming cottage, has a large bright and airy great room downstairs with lots of comfy couches so ample room for everyone to socialize, watch TV and play games with your family and friends.
The dining room has a long solid wood farm house table and seating for 8 to enjoy meals indoors, and the patio has a long rectangle table with umbrella and seating for 8 so you can enjoy meals outside. There is also a round patio table with 4 chairs on back patio right off the brand new kitchen. The commercial range and farm house sink will delight the chef who wants to prepare home cooked meals. The coveted Little Island location is ultra close to the shops and restaurants on Marine Ave so it's very quick walk to go wander down to get a Balboa Bar or Famous Chocolate covered banana for dessert.
The cottage is stocked with beach towels, and all the toys to enjoy the Island, such as two 2person -kayaks, two standup paddle boards, 4 beach cruisers, chairs, and beach toys. Fun to play in the bay or head across the Ferry to the Wedge or Pier.
The little island is coveted for it's quicker and easy access on and off the island, so you can take day trips to Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, shop & dine at South Coast Plaza or Fashion Island, and go see the many other Southern California Attractions. The coveted garage allows you to always have a place to park your car, if you decide to leave heaven.

Summary: Our family of seven (five children from ages 7 to 16) had a wonderful three night stay at The Blue Door Cottage. The cottage was wonderful! It was very clean and well appointed. It was walking distance to the Main Street. Pete was an excellent host; he answered all of our questions in a timely manner and was very accommodating about us arriving early. Thank you Pete! We look forward to staying here again!

Summary: The "Blue Door Cottage" was great all around. Nice location close to waterfront and main drag, yet very quiet. The interior is very inviting, clean and comfortable. The house has pretty much everything you'd want for the location, including bikes, paddle boards, etc...and all the typical amenities. Pete, the owner, was very accessible and accommodating. We'd definitely book the place again. We looked around at other listings on the island and couldn't find anything that matched the overall value.

Summary: The Blue Door Cottage is perfectly appointed. The rooms are cozy and all filled with personal touches. Pete is so easy to reach and communicate with via text or email too. We were welcomed with a wonderful selection of cheese, crackers, wines, and sparkling water. The local Night Heron visits our tree on the patio during the day and adds to our alfresco meals. We cannot wait to return. This is a gem. The cottage is located near everything in this quaint town. Thanks again Pete for making this an unforgettable adventure!

Summary: We had the best stay here! Comfortable, cozy and homey - Beautifully decorated. Communication with Pete was very smooth. We liked that we could walk into town. It's quiet and peaceful. Everything we ever wanted was available in the home. The snacks Pete left for us were delicious! The big patio was really nice for outdoor living. Just book it! 😊
