LUX Beachfront Casa de Balboa 225 - Best Location

Experience the Magic of Newport Beach – Ocean & Bay at Your Doorstep!

The world-famous Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade sails right in front of the Casa’s! From Casa 225’s deck or a short stroll (Casita's) to the end of 20th Street, you’ll have some of the best views of this spectacular holiday tradition. Every unit is beautifully decorated for the season – complete with a pre-lit tree to make your stay festive and cozy.

Have BOTH the Ocean & Bay!

Why choose when you can have it all? Our prime location sits where the peninsula narrows to just one road – with the calm bay on one side and the ocean on the other, just a 2–3 minute walk away. Spend the day riding the waves, then return to the peaceful bayfront for sunsets, spacious outdoor living, and a sandy beach right outside your door. Truly vacation heaven!

About Casa 225

A beautifully decorated 3-bedroom, 2-bath luxury second-level home with air conditioned and jaw-dropping views of the bay, boats, islands, Fashion Island, Newport Coast, and even distant mountains. Look to your right and there’s the ocean—just across one street!

The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring a professional Viking range and everything you need to create memorable meals. The open-concept Great Room and the main suite both open to a spacious deck that spans the width of our building on a 45-ft lot. Outfitted with deep seating lounging, a Weber 3-burner natural gas grill, and a patio heater, it’s the perfect place to relax and savor the view.

Sleeps up to 8 comfortably: Cal King in the main suite, Queens in the secondary bedrooms, plus a high-quality QUEEN air mattress for 7th and 8th guests.
Two full bathrooms (one ensuite, one hall bath)
Dog friendly (small to medium dogs with approval and fee; no cats)

Holiday & Event Ready

Hosting family for the holidays, a wedding weekend, or a reunion? Casa 225 is your perfect home away from home. The Christmas Boat Parade (Dec 17–21, 2025) offers nightly magic with fireworks on the first and last night, plus one evening featuring live music, food vendors, and festivities right on our beach.

All Casa de Balboa homes are impeccably maintained and professionally decorated for the holidays—including a pre-lit tree!

From the moment you step through the Dutch door, you’ll feel relaxed, cared for, and just a little bit spoiled.

Great place for a family getaway

This condo is perfect if you are traveling with small children. Walking distance to most attractions, restaurants etc. if you find a convenient, free place to park - don’t move your car! Parking is at a premium in New Port so add the parking fees to your vacation budget, just in case you have trouble finding a spot.

Family Fun

What a great place to stay! We were on a family vacation with 3 generations. We loved the location-we watched the boats coming and going in the harbor from our porch, walked to restaurants and shops, and swam in the ocean. Disneyland was about a 30 minute drive. The property was very well stocked with beach chairs, towels, kitchen appliances. The furniture and beds were comfortable. Highly recommend!

Awesome

We had a perfect view of the bay. The furniture was very comfortable and clean. It’s only a 2 block walk to the beach and boardwalk. We had pets with us and it’s very pet friendly everywhere around us. There’s a park with a playground for kids but there’s also a grassy area for dogs. I would recommend it to anyone.

After wedding family vacation

It was a very nice stay and very clean. Everything was walking distance. The only issues were: air mattress didn’t stay inflated and was a bit hot. They may need to update the gutters, patio furniture, add central air. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Loved our stay at #225. Everything is as advertised on VRBO. The views! Beautiful!! The weather was great. We parked in the garage & walked everywhere until time to leave. Could have just stayed on the balcony all day long enjoying it all! Comfortable beds for 7 of us, great kitchen & our dog loved being there with us

Great Property with Fabulous Views

I can't say enough positive things about our stay at 225 Casa de Balboa. The 3 bedroom is spacious and extremely well appointed. The linens and towels were very nice and the beds were extremely comfortable. We loved the views from the living room, master bedroom, and the deck/balcony which was amazing. We had our dogs with us and Pam was wonderful working with us to accommodate us traveling with our dogs. We walked on the small bayside beach right in front, and also crossed over to the large ocean side beach which was only about 3 minutes away. The sunrises from the apartment are spectacular and the sunsets on the beach were mind blowing. We will definitely visit again.

Best property!

I think this was the nicest vacation property we have stayed in over the past 10 years. Everything was exactly as described in the listing, including the photos. The unit was immaculately clean when we arrived. As mentioned in the listing and reviews, the linens are top notch. The kitchen is very organized and stocked with clean and high quality dishes, pots/pans, glasses, etc. The mattresses are superb. The view from the balcony is peaceful, especially at sunrise. Excellent communication with Pam, the property manager. We will definitely be back!
