4 Bedroom House in Balboa Island, Newport Beach

If you love the beach, barbeques, boat rides and sand on your feet all day, then you've just stepped into the coziest of beach cottages on Balboa Island. Our home sleeps up to 8 guests. The first three bedrooms downstairs comprises of the following: Bedroom one, Queen bed with make-up vanity mirror and 1/2 bath. Bedroom two consists of 1 queen bed with full bath, with shower no tub. The third bedroom consists of 4 bunk beds with a small vanity sink/mirror. One bunk on the ground floor and three bunkbeds above accessible by ladder. The fourth bedroom is located outside of the main house on the second level. It is the private primary bedroom and consists of a vanity make-up mirror and full bathroom with tub/shower combination. The house is two houses down from the Newport Beach Bay, where you can see sail boats passing by from the front patio as you sip your favorite beverage around our firepit. Balboa Island is an amazing man-made island with many fun activities to do and tons of shops and eateries on marine Ave. Across a short 4 min ferry ride and you can be at the "Fun-Zone", where there is more shopping Ferris Wheel rides and more. Everything is in walking distance or rent our Evolution 5-seater golf cart to take you all around! After a fabulous day on the beach, take a hot shower in our outdoor patio shower and get ready for the nightlife. Our home provides at no extra charge one kayak, 2 SUPs, 6 beach cruisers, beach chairs, umbrellas and towels. A tradition on the island is having a balboa bar or frozen banana on Marine Ave after dinner. It's a must! The island has it's own fire department, post office, and church. Our guests also have access to boat rentals to take you around the harbor and out to see many of the seal lions, dolphins and whales. This is a great way to see the sights, and the multimillion dollar homes and yachts that outline the harbor. Lastly, we do team up with our local Luxe Sprinter Vans for trips out to the wine country, which is only an hour and fifteen minutes' drive. We have another rental in wine country where you could do wine tasting for the day and enjoy a family dinner there before heading back to Balboa Island. We love it there and the wines and vineyards are terrific. Inquire with Adam and Nikki your hosts!

Summary: Great place for teens or a group of adults. It wouldn't be ideal for families with young children, as the master is separated from the actual house, but it was perfect to escape teenage drama! The location can't be beat! Owners were very responsive to any issues we had.

Summary: Our stay in this beautiful property was wonderful. The hosts thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and fun. It’s located perfectly on the island walking distance to restaurants, shopping and the ferry. The decor of the home has a lovely beachy vibe, it’s immediately relaxing on arrival. The communication was excellent as well. Can’t wait to return!

Summary: Beautifully decorated Island cottage with an excellent location. The host was extremely easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Beds were very comfortable and having both front and back patios was really nice especially for our dog! We look forward to returning!

Summary: We had an amazing time on Balboa Island and couldn't have loved the house any more. Only a few steps away from the water and a great walking path, we loved being across from the Pier and steps away from the main strip of shops and restaurants. Adam was so kind and flexible and a great communicator. We had plenty of space for our group of 8 girls and loved taking pics in front of the house and on the patio.

Summary: We just stayed 7 nights at the beach cottage and we had the best time. This was our fourth time on the island and first time at the cottage and it was our favorite house so far! The location was perfect, the kids were just steps away from the beach and a scooter/bike ride from Marine. All of our friends could not stop talking about how cute our patio was. All the beds and bedding were so comfortable. Adam was a great host and communicating with him could not have been easier. We will definitely be back next spring break!

Summary: This house is exactly as advertised! It was the perfect place for us to spend a quiet girls weekend, but would also be great for families. Adam and Nikki are fantastic hosts! I would definitely recommend an evening out on the Duffy boat. We can’t wait for our next trip to the island!

Summary: This place was adorable. So warm and weloming. The hosts did an awesome job decorating... it REALLY IS the quintessential beach cottage! Plenty of room inside and out for relaxing together. We were five adults, but this would be a really fun place for families with kids. Having the golf cart was soooo great! Parking on the island is tough... and even though everything is so close.... my 80 year old mom was not up to walking long distances. We were sad to leave. My husband and I slept in the room over the garage and it was THE MOST COMFORTABLE BED EVER! (we had to peek to see who makes it!) Adam and Nikki are so responsive and answered all my questions/comments before and during the stay. 10/10! I hope me and the familiy can come back some day!!!
