Casa de Balboa is a Luxury Five Star Newport Beach vacation rentals property. If this is the first time renting a vacation home..don't fret. Our guests are used to the finest accommodations. Ssshhh! Our location is a well kept secret! Unique and Caribbean like are several descriptions we have heard. Casa de Balboa your vacation home year round! Mi Casa su Casa!
Have the BEST of both..the beautiful Newport Bay AND the Ocean!!
Casa de Balboa is located on Balboa Peninsula with ferry service to Balboa
Island. The peninsula is primarily divided by one road, Balboa Boulevard, with a short
block on either side with the ocean or bay. You can see the lifeguard stands from
both the bay and ocean beaches as well as the boardwalk from our ideal quiet family location.
Casa de Balboa consists of two buildings, Hibiscus, and Bougainvillea on 95 feet of bay
front. Each building has a 2 bedroom, 2 bath Casa situated on the lower level and a 3
bedroom 2 bath on the upper levels for a total of 10 bedrooms 8 baths perfect for family
reunions! The rooms are beautifully decorated and highly upgraded. The
kitchens are custom, including custom cabinetry and granite, stone or wood floors, and are
fully-appointed. The lower units have large courtyards in both the front and
back (The rear is 45 ft to 50 ft wide! Great for kids and pets!), with cobblestone
pavers and lovely gardens filled with gardenias, hibiscus, bougainvillea and giant birds
of paradise. Spacious private decks on the upper levels provide plenty of outdoor
space and sweeping views of the water and beach.
Views! Views! Views! Unlike many oceanside properties (no view due to the width of the
beach) you have amazing views day and night from each Casa indoors or out!
We have a premium location across from a beautiful large bay
beach (Mother's Beach) which is reverse L shaped. We are located on the bottom part
of the L jutting into the bay with views across Newport Bay of Fashion Island and
Newport Coast. The view is particularly lovely at night with city and bay lights.
Watch the boats pass by from the comfort of your living room, and of course, from your
large private front courtyard or decks (upper levels) which are great for outdoor dining.
The courtyards are covered and walled (with bougainvillea, star jasmine, and gardenias) on
both sides offering a feeling of privacy and unmatched coziness while enjoying the
gorgeous full bay and beach views. They, as well as the upper decks, afford front-row
seating for the fourth of July Boat Parade and the world-famous Newport Harbor Christmas
Boat Parade.

In addition to our bay beachfront location, the property is one short block from the ocean boardwalk, pier, and walking distance to many restaurants with a variety of fare including Mexican, Seafood such as the famous Crab Cooker, The Cannery, and Blue Water Grill, Italian, Sushi (check out the new "Ten" restaurant menu includes Kobe beef!), several upscale such as Renato's, 21 Ocean Front, Blanca, the famous Arches Restaurant at it's new location in the Cannery area, and the "A Restaurant", Tim Goodall's newest venture, at the Arches old location.
These Newport Beach vacation homes were recently extensively renovated. The floors are lovely travertine stone or
wood in the main living areas which are topped by sea grass rugs.
The decor is upscale beachy with white slip-covered furniture,
beautiful case pieces and beautiful artwork. It is painted in a soothing neutral palette
-- designed to enhance the lovely water view.
Most bedrooms are generous in size, with built-ins in the closets eliminating the need for
dressers that take up space. To add more of a Caribbean feel, the closet doors are
louvered (in some units) and painted white against the neutral background. The master bedrooms have sliding doors or French
doors to a private rear courtyard with gardens on the lower levels and to the front
decks on the upper levels.
The bathrooms are beautifully done in marble, limestone, and travertine. One is private to the master bedroom in each Casa.
Parking is not an issue. Each Casa has a garage and there is plenty of metered (free at night) and non-metered parking.
Our lots are not typical beach lots. They are on 45 and 50
foot wide lots (most lots are 25 or 30 feet wide) so you don't have
that
"bowling alley" feel..in addition it gives you significantly more
outdoor
space with front bay/beach facing courtyards and private rear courtyards for
our
two bedrooms and large decks for our three bedrooms.
For those with children, weekly summer programs are held at our beach,
such
as sailing, sailing/tennis combo, kayak, and swimming (Newport Beach
has
won water quality control awards). Our beach, as well as our ocean beach,is tested each week.
Walk two blocks (grab a coffee and croissant on the way) to watch the Dory fisherman bring in their catch each morning. The Dory fishing fleet is a historical landmark formed in 1891 a full 15 years before Newport Beach became a city! They are the only commercial fishermen allowed to cast off from the beaches in their specially designed boats. Upon returning, they sell their bounty out of old boats in this quaint location steeped with history.
Walk or bike to Balboa Island, Lido, Cannery area (Blue Water Grill, The Arches, Alta Cafe, and the Cannery restaurants plus small antique and other shops, and the Fun Center located near the Pavilion.
Bring your fishing poles! There is a small bay dock two doors away for fishing and
loading/unloading of boat passengers. There are electric and motor boats for rent at the Pavilion.
Kayaks are available for rent two blocks away next to the tot lot park with swings, slide, and jungle gym. Don't forget
your tennis rackets too! Free Courts are next to the park.
The property is well maintained and always
super clean.
During the summer season , Casa Balboa rents on a Saturday-to-Saturday basis only.
From the moment you walk through the Dutch door, you'll feel "at home", and
maybe a little pampered at the beach.
