On the Boardwalk with views of the Ocean & Balboa Pier--steps to the Fun Zone

Sitting on one of the most desirable corners of Newport, rests this peaceful 3 bedroom, 2 bath vacation condo. Boasting 1300 square feet, this condo has recently gone through a total renovation, including new furniture and appliances. A calm and modern atmosphere awaits you at this beach escape.

Fond memories will easily be made in this open living and dining room, whether you decide to play some of the provided games, watch a favorite movie, or reminisce about moments at the beach. Attached to the living area is a roomy, raised patio outfitted for sunbathing, entertaining and barbecuing. And you don’t have to be a seasoned chef to enjoy what our kitchen supplies; from cooking spices and storage containers to granite countertops and new appliances, the kitchen contains everything you need to make simple snacks for a day at the beach or a delicious dinner for the whole family. The master bedroom enjoys an ocean view from a comfortable queen bed, private bath, television and access to the patio. The second bedroom has a queen bed, television, and a view of the Historic Balboa Pier, while the last bedroom has a full and single bunk bed. All three televisions have access to DirecTV, so no one has to miss their favorite sitcom or drama while on vacation. There is also an in-unit washer and dryer and WiFi for your convenience.

The condo is located just steps away from many popular activities such as boating, paddle boarding, kayaking, and the famous Balboa Fun Zone and Ferris wheel. Local bike rentals are within walking distance. If you want to venture off the boardwalk, you are only a short stroll to the Balboa Island Ferry, which will take you to Balboa Island for shopping and delightful food adventures. You are 30 minutes from Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm and upscale shopping at Fashion Island, and only 1½ hours to San Diego.

The complex features a private gated entry, elevator access, and a gated parking garage with two private parking spaces for vehicles ***with a maximum height of 6 feet.***

We usually stay on the pier once a year as a family getaway. This was the cleanest & most spacious place we’ve stayed. They had everything we needed. Plenty of towels, chairs and beach items, and kitchen was well stocked. Large table inside and great patio space outside. Great location! Thank you we had a great time!

Wonderful property!
The property was wonderful! And just as described. Super close to restaurants and the beach. Loved the outdoor patio. It had an abundance of chairs along with umbrella for shade. Was perfect for the family to gather. Plenty of extra towels and pillows which was really nice to have. Having assigned parking was a great luxury. We can’t wait to come back!

Prefect Location and Great renters
My weekend getaway with my family was in a perfect location in the Balboa Peninsula. Everything you need, from Balboa fun zone to bars, restaurants and shops are within walking distance. Jeff and Stephanie are very attentive and made our stay very welcoming. Their home was very clean and cozy and had all the amenities needed for a great stay. The patio was a favorite for us and has a great view of the beach. Our stay was a 10/10 and I thank Jeff and Staphanie for renting to us

Perfect Condo on the boardwalk
Beautiful condo! It has everything you need. Right on the boardwalk. Nice big patio. Perfect spot to grill have a glass of wine stare at the ocean and people watch. You all right near cute shops, restaurants, ice cream shop and coffee. I spent my 50th birthday with my family and it was perfect. We would definitely come back!!

Location location location
Wow what an awesome condo. I stayed with my family (2 elementary aged kids) my husband and my parents who are in their 70s. We had plenty of space to sleep and eat, lounge, etc. We appreciated the dedicated parking lot and the amenities included esp in the kitchen. My kids used the beach toys and boogie board! Our absolute favorite part was morning coffee and evening cocktails on the patio people watching as they went by on the boardwalk! So fun! Thanks for your kind and quick responses to our questions as well Jeff and Stephanie!

Nice stay at the beach
The appartment is as described. Very well located to the beach and shops. The kitchen and living room are spacious and well equipped. The bedrooms are nice although the masterbedroom bed could be a little bit too small for large people.
