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 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. 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!

Everything about this property was great! The host was prompt with communication and answered all of my questions. The check-in process was so easy and seamless. The property was perfect for us and even better than we expected. There were higher than normal temperatures and the host provided fans which made sleeping easier and comfortable. It was clean and well organized and had everything we needed and more. The location was amazing with a park just across the street, peaceful neighborhood and still just basically a block from the beach as well as around the corner from a small strip mall with restaurants. We would definitely stay here again.

Great little cottage in a perfect location for a southern California getaway. Scott was an excellent host, and the property was exactly as described- it’s a quaint cottage with a park across the street, easy walk to the beach, and close to both Newport and Huntington. We rented beach cruiser bikes and biked everywhere. Very quiet, and it was nice not to be in a shared building. Thanks for a great stay!

**Rating: **We had a wonderful stay and would love to visit again! The property was incredibly cute and, most importantly, very clean. We were traveling with our pet, so finding such a welcoming, pet-friendly space was a huge win—especially with a park conveniently located right nearby for walks.The location is hard to beat; we loved being so close to both the beach and the marina. The host even left a thoughtful welcome gift of a bottle of Chardonnay and a delicious bag of local kettle-style chips, which was such a nice personal touch. Inside, the bed was very comfortable and the amenities provided were excellent, especially considering the great price point. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing and well-located getaway!

The host left a personalized card with wine and locally made chips! It was great for my daughter (2yo) to stay and have such close access to the beach, short walk to Newport pier, and a playground literally right outside our window. The kitchen had all the necessary stuff to cook meals for ourselves. I would definitely stay here again!

Nifty Newport

Good price for 2 blocks from the beach. Comfy bed. It was nice to have plenty of counter space in the bathrooms, something that is sorely lacking in most rentals. The front patio is a great place to relax. The park next door is definitely a plus with dogs. Try the Il Farro Italian restaurant near the Newport pier, the Snipe Island Crafthouse on Balboa Island, and Siam Station for Thai food.
