About this property

Waterfront Serenity (Unit A): Hot Tub & Views

- Downstairs unit in a jaw-dropping waterfront gem with a hot tub on Balboa Peninsula!
- Steps to Balboa Island Ferry, near Balboa Pier & Park with tons of water activity
- World-class shopping at Fashion Island, Via Lido, Balboa Island, Bayside Shopping Cntr
- Full kitchen, outdoor BBQ patio & an outdoor beach lounge down by the dock
- Wi-Fi & laptop workspace options, washer, dryer & a parking spot

The blissful escape you’re looking for with picture-perfect views of Newport Bay and boats in the harbor from almost every room in the house! Newly renovated living spaces, contemporary decor, and plenty of top-of-the-line amenities.

Open the floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall glass patio doors to expand the space to the outdoors and to the furnished bayfront patio. Perfect for enjoying the fresh air, a little sun, barbecuing, cocktails at sundown, and stellar views all day long.

Prepare meals at home in a gorgeously modern and fully equipped kitchen with high-end stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar. Enjoy indoor dining with “the” view of the century and a salty-sweet bay breeze with the doors open.

There are four bedrooms (1 is a loft) to accommodate 8 guests. The master bedroom with a king-sized bed, and the other three with plush queen beds, and they all feature en-suite bathrooms!

The top-floor balcony is the sweet spot with a hot tub and a view! The perfect way to unwind after a big beach day!

And don’t forget to take a stroll down the boardwalk dock that leads to a sofa lounge area right on the water.

Stroll the boardwalk, walk pier-to-pier, enjoy water activities and the beach just steps away, ferry to the islands, do some amazing shopping, or play some golf. There is truly something for everyone here!

You’ll have full, exclusive access to downstairs UNIT A during your stay. It’s a duplex home with two separate rentals and multiple balconies. Please note that the owner's yacht is moored out front but is not accessible to guests.

This is a famous So Cal beach city. You'll be on the Newport Bayside steps from the docks, where you can rent water equipment for a day out on the water. Enjoy this prime location between Newport & Balboa Beaches, 1/2 mile to Balboa Pier, and 1.8 miles to the Newport Pier. If you walk from Pier-to-Pier, it’s 2 miles one way and a lovely beachside walk. You could also ferry to one of the nearby islands like Balboa or Lido and enjoy strolling the cute streets for a day. You’re also just 10 miles from the John Wayne Airport.

RESTAURANT RECOMMENDATIONS (and distance from the property):
-Sol Grill - 3 miles
-The Original Mama D’s Italian Kitchen - 2 miles
-The Ally Restaurant and Bar - 3 miles
-TK Burgers - Burgers - 2.3 miles
-Fashion Island - various options - 6.3 miles

The home is 10 miles from the John Wayne/Orange County Airport (SNA) and an hour drive (46 miles) from LAX (Los Angeles Airport, north of Newport Beach).

The best means of transportation would be to rent a car or you can hire private transport (Towncar) or a rideshare service like Super Shuttle to and from the airport, of course, there are curb-ride services like Uber and Lyft as well as taxis.

It’s a 3-story duplex home. Guests will need to climb stairs to reach the upper levels and the 3rd-floor deck area.

We provide complimentary essentials like soap, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, dish detergent, dishwasher detergent sponges, toilet paper, and paper towels.

There’s no daily housekeeping service, but if you’d like the place cleaned during your stay, that service can be arranged for an extra fee.

The home​ is equipped with a noise monitoring system (not a recording device, it just measures decibels of volume). When the noise level gets too high, it notifies us. Newport Beach is very strict with their Noise Ordinance and all fines associated with your stay are the responsibility of the paying guest.

The BBQ grill at the property is available to use with a propane tank included. Just need to pay a grill-cleaning fee.

Please note that the owner's yacht is moored out front, but it is not accessible to guests.

Couples Get Away

The home was wonderful and had plenty of room for a group of 6 adults. We did cook every night so the kitchen was a little tight if you really like to cook, but we made it work. It had most of the kitchen products we liked, but I would bring some storage items if you like leftovers to eat the next day. We loved playing games on the 2nd level, and we loved the location and views day & night. We enjoyed opening all the doors each night as we cooked. We did not use the advertised hot tub due to the fact that it did not have enough water, was not clean, nor had any chemicals in it. Sort of a bummer for 2 in our group. We had two cars which there was room for, but very very tight to pull in and out. Would stay again, if we go back to Newport!

Beautiful location

We had a great experience staying at this property. We opened all of the sliding glass doors and windows and were able to enjoy the bay breeze. It also had AC to make for a very comfortable night's sleep.

Amazing waterfront home

Front half of a great bayside waterfront home in Newport Beach easily handles 3 couples in en suite bedrooms with an additional loft upstairs with a Murphy bed. Two king suites with an additional queen suite all with stunning main room views on each floor. Quiet neighborhood only 4 blocks to the beach. Easy to access restaurants and marinas and freeways to other areas surrounding LA. Management company very responsive to inquiries Only issue was a glitch with my VRBO linkage to accessing the virtual Check-in Definitely want to return soon!
