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.

Very nice place! Enough space to relax for a night in if you want, with a good kitchen and living space to hang out in. Walking distance from beach, pier, and tons of good food/drink. Also a basketball court right across the street!
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!!
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.
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.
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.
Perfect place just down the street from our daughter and the beach!
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!
Perfect little bungalow for visiting my daughter. Quick walk to the beach. Restaurants and shopping all nearby.
This property was wonderful. Next to a nice park and very close to the beach. It had plenty of space and all the amenities one could ask for!
Cute cottage at a great location. Two blocks from the beach. Nicely outfitted close to restaurants and easily accessible from Pacific Coast Highway. Scott is a great host. Kind, efficient and responsive. Came here initially for 10 days and ended up spending a month.
Even though we live just 20 minutes from the peninsula, we jumped at the opportunity to stay at the beach and enjoy a fun little staycation! The house is so cozy and gives the perfect beach, cottage vibe. With so many people remodeling their beach homes into modern monsters, it was so cool to be in a great spot that still maintained its original integrity and small-town beach feel. We absolutely loved the fun, beachy decor! You could feel that someone put a lot of time and attention into making the space comfortable and functional. We loved the coffee bar in the kitchen and the hot pink flamingo bar in the back room! All the little touches from the shelf of books and games available to use to the extra blankets and toiletries were so thoughtful. We felt like we had everything we needed right there! And best of all, the location! Steps from the beach, the park, and so many great restaurants and bars. We cannot wait to go back!
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!
Enjoyed this little beach house that was close to the beach. Clean and a comfortable beds. Really, really cool set of patios to use! Will stay again!
Clean and comfortable place to stay. Easy check-in, good directions. Kitchen has all the needed items. Close to beach and nice to have a parking spot. Would stay here again.
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.
