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. But 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!

Please be advised this is a strict NO SMOKING property. Please note that our properties may have electronic devices installed such as electronic locks, front door cameras, or noise monitors. There are no video devices inside the property.

Terrific Location in Newport
The property is in an excellent location. Easy bike ride to Lido and all over Balboa. The beach is a 2 minute walk and you can also launch paddleboards or kayaks in the bay in a 30 second walk from the property. The front outdoor area is nice with a table and chaise lounges that overlooks the park area. It was incredibly quiet. The bed is comfortable and there is plenty of space. Having a parking space was also a good perk. WIFI was strong and we had no issues with connectivity. We had a minor shower issue that needed to be fixed and Scott came immediately to fix it.The one negative is that the property is not as good condition as it appears in the photos. It would not deter me from staying again, but it is in definite need of a facelift. The location makes up for this.

Newport Beach Bungalow
Location was awesome. Being a pet friendly rental was great. We will definitely be back. I have never used Itrip before but I would definitely recommend it to others. We were 110 percent satisfied with the representation of the property and its amenities. The instructions were clear and made everything super easy to check in and out. Thank you so much Scott.

Beach Getaway
We stayed at this property over Memorial Day. The location cannot be beat- we had a wonderful time playing the board games and relaxing between the beach and the patio. Our 4- legged friend probably had the best time of his life. The beach and dog friendly park made for an easy life.

Cozy Get Away
My friend and I traveled to California to attend the Darker Waves Concerts in Huntington Beach. This cozy little cottage was located far enough away from the event. It was quiet and peaceful in Newport Beach. We enjoyed walking over to the beach and down to the pier. Lots of great food places and things to see. It was a comfortable stay, and the owner was very responsive.

Convenient location
Funky 40's (?) vintage beach house. Basically sound but could use some TLC. Convenient to restaurants, coffee shop, small park, and the beach, of course. Although getting to the beach requires crossing a busy 4 lane street. Outdoor areas (patios) in front and back of the house. Off street parking. More than 3 people in this property would be too many.

Great find for the price!
This is a classic little beach cottage that has been cleaned and updated. The location is great and a super-quick walk to the beach or the park. It was clean and ready for us when we arrived, just as advertised. Great find for the price.

Sweet Place
This classic little cottage was perfect for us! Had everything you needed. The location is the kicker. Quiet, close to stuff, bur away from tourists and the craziness of being closer to the pier. Having the park across the street to run our pooch was a big plus too, even though it is not an official dog park and a local mentioned you can get ticketed if you're not holding the leash. Would definitely come back!

Fall Beach Getaway
The property was exactly as photographed and described. Just the two of us enjoyed spacious comfort. We used the ottomans in the back sun room as luggage stands. Excellent email and text communications throughout our stay. So convenient to the beach. We enjoyed a lot of beach walking. Upon departing to return home to Denver, the rental car needed only 2.5 gallons to fill up the tank!

Delightful, Comfortable, and Cozy Beach House
This is an ideal property in a great location, surprisingly quiet, and very close to the beach and a little park. The house has many thoughtful touches, comfortable seating inside, and nice patio furniture outside as well. The bed was great and there was plenty of closet space for clothes. Unlike other beach cottages, this home was adequately insulated and thankfully, the heater worked well and was quiet. We visited in February, which was rather cool but it was a good time to enjoy the beach without many people. We would definitely stay here again!

Excellent time!
My wife and I along with our Poochies stayed at Scott’s property for 1 week at the end of September. The home is very clean, with plenty of amenities. The home is ideally located for pet lovers with a dog park directly adjacent. The beach is a very short distance along with many venues. We rented bikes for the week and enjoyed the comforts of Newport and their great restaurants. Scott was very accommodating and made himself available if needed. I would highly recommend this home. We will for sure be back next year!!

Great Winter Beach Getaway
The location was great near Coast Highway and the beach. I liked looking at the park versus a home. The bed and living room were comfortable. The kitchen was complete with all I needed. The bathrooms were pretty small and one was very dated but since I have lived at the beach, I was used to it. The back room was a waste but I didn't need it. Both bathrooms are located in the bedroom so people on the sofa bed will have to go through the bedroom. I loved access to free activities.

Fun Little Beach House
Location was great, just a quick walk to the beach. It’s a cute little house. It was well stocked with anything you might need. Im picky about my cookware so I do wish I’d brought my own frying pan. House does not have air conditioning. Probably not a problem most of the year, but we were there on a hot week. There were lots of fans to help, but it was warm. Overall we had a great time.

Great Cozy Beach Cottage
My husband and I had an opportunity to stay at this delightful beach cottage. Super clean, the decor is so darling. I love how items are labeled, Beach Towels, hair dryer ect. The bed is super comfortable. Outside patio so spacious. Simple Check in and out. Within walking distance to great restaurants, one of our favorite the Alley, coffee shop, Chronic Taco, Italian restaurant and even sushi. And of course you’re only two blocks away to the beach and a great little park across the street. If you’re into kayaking the bay is right by the park. Can you tell we’re going back soon!

As depicted but better!
Location is 10/10. House is as depicted but even more charming in person 10/10! Equipped and user friendly decor and accommodations 10/10. I would move in and live here if I could! I travel with my service animal, and had surgery this week, so needed a spot where I could allow him to be outside and keep my eyes on him within the gated areas of house. The park across the street made him skip with glee, and I loved not having to overexert myself to walk across. Spent time outdoors at park with mini beach access and great playground, large grass area, as well as walked in the upscale neighborhood. House is well-maintained, well-equipped, and in a charming upscale area with charm. They even thought to add a few special items to make me comfortable after surgery, including a special pillow and some herbal tea to aid in digestion after anesthesia. Play area in back of house is perfect for dog or for kids! It felt like visiting a dear friend’s house. I’ll absolutely stay here every time I’m in town if this house is available! Thank you again to the thoughtful owners for making my stay so easy and cozy!

Authentic beach house
This is an authentic Newport Beach house with old charm and style. The house has some great features and details and also misses the mark on amenities. The location of the house worked great for our trip and the things we were doing. And the small park across the street was great for our dogs to run around on leash after we arrived. The front porch is great for lounging and we had zero concerns about our dogs getting out from this space. Interior details such as the labels hanging on drawers to tell you what is inside and boxes in the back room full of books and games were great touches. Some of the negatives that we ran into with the house - the back room is a waste of space and could be better used with bunk beds and another full size bed for better sleeping arrangements. There is ample storage in the bathroom cabinets and bedroom closet so having the fold out bed's linens crumpled in a Home Depot plastic storage box was disappointing. I had those sheets in the dryer at 10PM trying to get the wrinkles and plastic bin smell off of them before I made the bed to sleep in. More silverware and plates in the kitchen would be great. We were only two people staying at the house and needed to run the dishwasher after nearly every meal as we were out of those two items. This rental is OK but could be great with a few more touches to make it a great space that people walk in to and it feels like home.

Nice, clean & cozy
This was a stay in the Newport area for surgery. I needed to have enough room to move around a walker, access bathroom with walker. I also needed to bring a special recliner to sleep in. Scott communicated everything to me and our stay was very nice. The area had a small park across the street and access to the water through a small beach within that same park. Not for a boat but definitely a kayak. There was 1 issue; VRBO automatically charged an additional $507 AFTER we paid the full amount charged on VRBO to Scott. No where was that listed on the rental property total amount. That VRBO will charge additional money. This was an outrageous amount. When I contacted Scott, he stated he had nothing to do with what VRBO can charge. That needs to be said on a rental property bc an additional $500 for just using VRBO website was gouging in my opinion. Scott stated he did not receive any of the $500 but I advised him he should make that known to future renters of his property that VRBO will also charge a separate fee. We paid Scott full amount and then VRBO used my credit card and charged that additional $507 days later. I have a greivance filed with VRBO. No refund or response as of this posting. PARKING plus, There is one parking spot inside the gated rental. It is small but can be used (our car was a Honda Pilot). There is another (bigger) parking spot in the allley for this rental. So that's 2 spots which is great.
