You (and your dog) are invited to enjoy our classic 4 bedroom/2 bath beach house. This is a single family home and is the only residence on the lot. Perfect for families with children with it's private front yard. Modern amenities and classic conveniences blend seamlessly with the classic beach community of the Newport Peninsula! Simply said, the location of this property is amazing. We are located on a quiet street on the Newport Beach Peninsula and there are two family friendly beaches nearby. Located less than three short blocks from the best stretch of beach in town one direction, and just steps from a bayside in the other direction. The bayside beach has been called "Mother's Beach" by the family for years as it is safe for small children. All details have been thoughtfully planned and executed. Probably the most visible feature of the home is a fenced in front yard, something that most vacation homes in Newport Beach do not have. The home also features two living rooms for the family to enjoy. The front yard provides a spacious outdoor mix of seating and entertainment. The front yard and patio blends into a den and kitchen areas. Custom materials and tastefully-appointed furnishings dot the setting of this Craftsman inspired home that is relaxing, yet energizing at the same time: the perfect combination for any successful vacation stay!

Check-in time: 3:30 p.m. on the arrival date Check-out time: 10 a.m. on the departure date 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 sit down 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. Anglers can bring home dinner from one of the sport-fishing vessels and whale watching enthusiasts can see some of nature’s most beautiful creatures up close, as Balboa Peninsula rentals and adventure boats launch early and often. But 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! A Dog (1) is allowed with a pet fee of $100. All rentals over 29 days will require a refundable security deposit.

My partner and I came with our kids for the week and this was the perfect location to easily get to the Balboa and Newport Piers. It's the perfect little quiet street. The front lawn was a great little spot for the kids to play. Having the whole house was perfect for all 6 of us. Great couches to lounge on and good beds and showers. The kitchen had plenty of space and was well stocked with what we needed to cook. Easy to check in and park in the back. The master was huge and the deck was relaxing. We are already thinking of booking this house again next year. ##### Cheryl C.

Jul 11, 2025 #### Great Quiet House I've been renting houses in NB for >10 years and 821 W. Bay is located in a very quiet neighborhood. Yes, I would rent again and also recommend this house to others but want share my pros/cons. Positives: Quiet neighborhood, walk to the beach is easy and there is very nice bay access just a few steps away. The best features for us was the large living spaces (specifically the 2 living rooms & bedrooms) along with a nice grassy area for the dog. The house was adequately stocked and I only had to supply 1 roll of paper towels. Manager was very responsive & even sent reminders to on garbage days. There is a lot of street parking close by the house. Negatives: I had a feeling the bathrooms would be an issue by the lack of photos on the rental sites. Both bathrooms are extremely small. Although parking behind the garage worked well, we were barely able to fit (1) small compact car in the space and had to back the car out when doing laundry or grabbing beach chairs/wagon. ##### nicole s. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne W.

Feb 6, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Vacation My husband and I stayed with our 2 daughters and their husbands over the holiday. We also had one 16 month granddaughter with us. The extra room for her to sleep was great. A relative got us a pack n play, high chair, and toys from a rental company which worked out perfectly. We enjoyed our stay immensely. The negatives were the cleanliness of the kitchen. Also when we arrived the floors had just been mopped yet our socks turned grey from the floor the 1st day. There was only 1 towel per person for showering and only a few kitchen towels. I ended up buying some. We cooked and grilled often so the kitchen was used a lot. The weather was definitely cool so beach time was limited but we did walk quite a bit to a variety of places. Having a washer and dryer was great too. Parking was not an issue. ##### Brad K.

Dec 1, 2023 #### House stay Hi there, we loved staying at this house again this year! We weren’t able to get live shows on the tv downstairs, like a football game etc and we always take our shoes off in the house and felt it needed a better mopping! I totally would have done it but couldn’t find a map but we do love your house! Thank you Karen ##### Karen B.

This beach house met all of our needs. The front yard for afternoon evening gatherings was awesome. Scott is an incredibly attentive host, responding to emails very quickly, even when I had merely failed to read the email he had already sent. Very gracious host. we did bring in our own fans which is sometimes needed during the summer months, although all rooms have ceiling fans. Also, if you have children, bring books and games with you, as there are only adult books in the house. Thank you, Scott, for sharing your home. It was awesome. ##### Debra W.

My family and I have been coming down to the area for the past couple years. It's always a time I really look forward to where we can all get together and relax by the beach. The house was really lovely and exactly as described and pictured. We enjoyed spending time at the house together, cooking, sitting outside in the yard, and walking to the beach a block away. For cooking, it was a huge plus that the kitchen was so stocked. We were super comfortable the entire stay except for one thing. The downstairs pull out bed was visibly dirty when we checked in. We discovered it late at night when everyone was already to go to sleep, and had to stay up late to wash everything downstairs ourselves. ##### Meaghan O.

We had a fantastic stay! The location was perfect for us. Quiet street away from the spring break chaos, yet a quick bike ride or walk to town. Only a 2 min walk to the beach path and sand on the ocean side. Also, a quick 1 min walk to the bay side beach. We enjoyed being centrally located between the two piers with easy access to both piers by foot, bike, or skateboard. We really enjoyed paddling around the bay on the included kayaks. The house was well stocked with many beach chairs, one bike, boogie boards, beach towels, sand toys, and more. The kitchen was also well stocked with many spices, seasonings and other kitchen essentials that I was grateful I didn’t have to purchase. We were traveling with our college age kids and some of their friends and everyone had a fantastic time. The house itself is charming with a lot of vintage character. The upstairs bathroom is quirky and tight, but that wouldn’t keep me from highly recommending and coming back again and again. ##### Michelle P.
