NO PETS: Due to family health issues this property is strictly no-pets, including service animals. We respect that service animals are important to owners, however, their presence in this home is a serious health risk.
The rear cottage is commonly called the parent’s (or grandparent’s) escape. One thing that we love about the property is the central patio between the cottages that serves as a private patio!

Locals know the 3-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 views of the shoreline, surfers, and sunbathers spanning for miles. A walk straight down Main Street brings you to the historic Balboa Pavilion, made famous in the 30s and 40s for being the home of Big Band era legends Count Basie and Benny Goodman.
Explore the Peninsula on two-wheels or by foot via the boardwalk/bike path. The Newport Pier area with shops and local eateries galore is minutes away by bicycle and a 10-15-minute walk. Visit Seaside Donuts, Jane’s Corndogs, Dory Deli. Breakfast at Charlie’s Chili are musts for locals and out-of-towners. Within walking distance at 32nd Street is a Pavilions grocery store. Chihuahua, Palmiyra, and Sancho’s serve up tacos, burritos and more. Gina’s offers pizza and pasta for the whole family. Around the corner on Newport Boulevard there are several restaurants to try. The newly renovated Lido Marina Village with high-end restaurants and boutiques is within walking distance.
Please note that our properties may have electronic devices installed such as electronic locks, front door cameras, or noise monitors.
