Walk to the Beach from an Eclectic, Cottage-style House

A beautiful white sandy beach just steps outside the front door the open floor plan layout is perfect for quality time together. Good to Know- * Minimum Rental Age is 25 yrs old (per City of Newport Beach ordinance) * The garage space is very tight so only a compact car or small SUV please. * If you have a 5th guest who is a child, let me know and I will make an exception to the 4 person limit. * Non Smokers Only * No pets please, no exceptions City of Newport Beach Short Term Lodging Permit # SLP13341 Four houses from the beach on 29th Street. Close enough to the beach to hear the waves and far enough from Balboa Bl to not hear traffic noise. Front House - 2 bdrm/1 bath beach cottage decorated very beachy and fun. Great central location just a short walk to the Newport Pier, restaurants, grocery, movie theater, ice cream and more. Wonderful ocean view from the front room. Sit at the comfortable desk and enjoy views of the beach, check for waves, watch sailing regattas, or just people watch. Bedroom 1 - King Bed Bedroom 2 - Queen Bed & Twin Bed Back patio with sitting area, BBQ and full hot outdoor shower. Beach chairs, umbrella, beach towels, boogie boards and sand toys available. Washer/Dryer on the back patio. We rent our home while traveling but are always available by phone or text. Our neighbor is our care taker and will be on property to water plants and take out trash weekly. The beach is steps away and offers large white sandy beaches, great surfing (long or short board), and an 2.5 mile boardwalk for walks or bicycling. We have wonderful neighbors and no "party houses" adjacent to us. 29th Street is one of a handful of double wide streets with parking on both sides. Everything is within walking or bicycling distance. There are also buses (bus stop at the end of the block) and taxis. Additional bike rentals are available at the pier. There is parking for one (1) small car (no full sized SUVs) in the shared 2-car garage. Maximum length 180' height 78' width 70'. Street parking is unmetered. Entire house attached back patio with BBQ outdoor hot shower 1-car garage parking (compact cars only) washer/dryer beach towels beach chairs sand toys Sometimes in person.

Maximum: (L) 190 in (H) 78", (W) 73" Street parking on 29th St is not metered but can be competitive so having the garage option is recommended. The Balboa Peninsula is very walk able and unless you are planning day trips, ride sharing to the home is a popular alternative. Grocery, every class of restaurant and bar, bicycle and sporting good rentals, boat rentals and charters are all within walking distance. Highly walkable location. Many guests do not bring a car. Bus stop at the end of the block and super easy Lyft and Uber access. The home is equipped with security cameras in the back alley and on the front sidewalk. Owners live adjacent so property is very clean and well maintained. This is not a party house and due to it's small size, occupancy including visitors is limited to 6 persons.

Chic, Cottage-Style House on Balboa Island

The house was renovated with all new appliances and decor, but the chic cottage feeling reminds you that you are on the charming Island of Balboa, Many of our repeat visitors are 3 generation families. the grandparents, children and grandchildren, who love their "trundle room". The sand and bay are just steps away. Bikes, SUPs, kayaks, beach chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, games, for both inside and out. We even have a baby pool to use on the patio for little ones. Also a port a crib and high chair if needed. There is a tenant in back who will share the W/D in the garage, but the rest of the property and equipment is yours. I usually meet the guests on arrival to show them around and of course to meet them. I live just a few miles away, so am available if they havr questions, The home is situated on Balboa Island, a little-known gem. Main Street, which is just 2 blocks away, has unique shops and several restaurants. The ferry to Newport Beach is just a short walk from the house. Kayak, bike, paddle board, or simply relax on the beach. Walking or biking are the easiest ways to navigate the Island! We have a garage for your use, and Fashion Island and Newport Beach are close by. Balboa is a lovely little community and some of our neighbors live there year round, so we ask our guests to respect that the houses are close by, and to bring their visiting inside at 10 on weekdays and 11 on the weekends.
