Peaceful & Private Retreat | Bayside Apartment | Fully-Appointed | Walk to all the Hot Spots!

Permit #SLP12996

Our rear upstairs unit is the perfect place for a single, couple, or small family to experience Newport Beach firsthand. With year-round vacation availability, this spacious 1 bedroom/1 bath accommodation is a true gem!

Every detail has been nicely appointed, with granite countertops, woodplank flooring, and comfortable furnishings. The living/dining/kitchen area is a completely open floor-plan with lots of natural light.

But best of all is the close proximity - 100 feet - to the very popular 9th Street bay beach on the Balboa Peninsula. While this rear unit does not command a view of the bay, guests only need to use the property's side walkway along the front main house to encounter the beautiful bay beach: a family favorite for swimming, kayaking, stand-up paddling and relaxation away from the beach crowds and occasional windy days! Great views of graceful sailboats, local paddlers, luxury yachts, and the local mountains in the distance are absolutely captivating! Take your morning coffee, afternoon picnic, or sunset appetizers a few steps across Bay Ave. to enjoy one of the best-kept secrets in Newport Beach!

Good location
The place is in a good location. No view as described but the bay and beach are super close. Easy walk. Checking in was difficult and a bit confusing. The lock was super hard to work at times. My husband had to use 2 hands at all times. He’s very fit and there were a couple of times we weren’t sure we’d get in. The Wi-Fi SUCKED!!! We contacted the management group and they tried to fix it to no avail. We could use a couple devises at once in certain areas but still got dropped.

Perfect Weekend Getaway
We booked this house very last minute and for our family of 4 it was a perfect spot. It’s about a 15 minute walk in either direction to get to the main hustle and bustle of Newport and/or Balboa. Very clean, easy checkin and out. I would stay again l! Thanks so much!

Awesome Little Rental with Great Vibes!
Rental was clean, plenty of space for up to 4 people. Location was superb for all beach related activities. Only SMALL complaints I have if you’d even call them complaints is that being at the mercy of street parking was slightly inconvenient but only once or twice (just walk or bike places and save the trouble) and the bed is quite dated and I really believe should be upgraded to a King size. All in all the rest of the experience was superb, so happy we got to stay there!

Perfect stay for Getaway
The home was conveniently located close enough to the beach, yet away from the chaos. The check-in/out process was quick and easy and the staff was awesome to work with. We had no issues with parking. However, I can see that it could be troublesome in the busy season. Overall, a great place to stay!! We will definitely be back!!

Great location, simple amenities and many extra steps
The location is great; however, you do share an important hallway with a door connecting to another property right next to the bedroom and sound carries majorly. We happened to have a multigenerational family with two very upset and loud kids Every morning on the other side of that door, as well as blocking all the walkways with their stuff. There is no dishwasher and unfortunately, despite the fees there is a lot of responsibility before you leave (all the dishes, towels, bedding, trash taken out) and like others have said they really only provide bare necessities. Go get toilet paper and paper towels and toiletries and try not to need an extra towel. Overall it was a good experience, I was able to do the extra things needed to make this space work but didn’t realize ahead of time I was signing up for that. Personally, I really prefer not to have to do so much at the end of a trip. Also, the check in procedure requires driving to the office to show Id and to return keys afterwards. A lot of extra steps with this place.

This is really a lovely unit, with a well-equipped kitchen. It is perfectly positioned right between Newport Pier (with all the shops & restaurants there) and Balboa Pier (with all the shops & restaurants on that end). Bike rentals made it super easy to get around and do everything we wanted. Just cross the street to get to the small, very picturesque harbor beach, and a five minute walk (probably less than that) to the ocean on the other side. Drawbacks: you have to go up a narrow spiral staircase to get to the unit—difficult to navigate with large suitcases. You have to return the keys to the rental unit when you leave, which really is kind of a pain and not the kind of thing you want to do when you are catching a flight out. Would be so easy to just put up a lock box with code outside of the unit. Also, a pet peeve—the “house rules” include no eating or drinking in the bedroom! I found this a surprising one that I’d never seen before. If I want a coffee in bed or to snack on a late-night sandwich while watching tv, what business is it of theirs as long as I leave the place clean? Seems to me, if you rent a space, you should be able to use the space as you would at home, as long as you keep it clean and don’t damage anything. —all that said, the place is gorgeous, the local is gorgeous, and Bayview Realty is super nice. (Do NOT expect them to budge on check in or check out time, though—they won’t.)

Great place and location
We loved our stay overall. Superb location right in front of a small beach. Perfect for families with little ones. We were able to find street parking right in front of the unit every night. The street felt safe and peaceful. Great communication with the management company. They are super friendly and work hard to make your pleasurable. As for some nitpicks: Wi-Fi was going in and out. The management company made it better half way through our stay by installing a Wi-Fi extender. It was better but still there were dropouts. Another nitpick is the check-in and check-out process: you have to drop the keys at the management company’s office (about 0.5 mile drive) at the checkout. And, if you do a late checkin (after 5 pm) then you have go to the office in the morning to check in. This was inconvenient. Overall, we really enjoyed and hoping to visit again in the future.

The property was clean, spacious and the kitchen provided all the necessary equipment for preparing meals. The bed was comfortable, it was quiet and the room had plenty of storage. We absolutely loved the location on a quiet street, with the beach right across from the condo. There were lots a good walks from the condo which we did every day. The on,y drawback is that the couch was not very comfortable for sitting. For me they were too soft and too deep. Dave & Susan

Quality Interior. Nicely supplied. Great Value.
This unit is very nice inside feeling more like it is furnished to be someone's nice beach home rather than a rental. Access is from the back alley but the alley is very clean. We parked right by the gate to unload/load and then found street parking nearby. Access to the bay-side beach is a one-minute walk. Access to the ocean-side is just five minutes. We would stay hear again. We we arrived it felt and looked VERY clean inside, certainly good with the pandemic ongoing

Overall good experience. Excellent location near the ocean beach and a small bayside beach. Street Parking wasn’t too difficult for us (late June stay). No real complaints but one thing they could improve is to stock Kitchen better and revise knives that can actually cut (they were too dull).
