Tuscan Style Retreat - 1-Bed/1-Bath

Picture yourself at this luxurious, private Tuscan-style retreat on beautiful Balboa Island! Situated on a corner lot, this half duplex has everything you need – custom luxury finishes, and one of the best locations on the island. This home features 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom and sleeps up to 4 guests.

Upon entering the home, natural travertine flooring, warm custom wainscoting, and an ornate staircase lead you upstairs to the main level with vaulted ceiling and an open concept living room and kitchen. No expenses were spared for the finishes of the home – the custom wainscoting and tumbled travertine floor continue throughout the main living area.

The chef’s kitchen is outfitted with Viking Professional appliances, granite counter tops, bar seating for two, and is fully stocked with everything you and your sous chef need to create an amazing meal. The living room is the perfect place to cozy up after a long day, or to enjoy a movie night in. The sofa contains a queen-sized pullout bed and sleeps up to two guests.

Just off the main living area you’ll find the primary suite. The king-sized bed with luxury hotel linens and plush pillows awaits you for a dream-filled night of rest. Savor the spa-like en-suite bathroom with oversized vanity, custom marble mosaic tile, and tub and shower combo.

From the living room, the steps up lead to the private rooftop deck! Relax and catch some rays in the lounge chairs or gather around the fire table on warm summer nights. The rooftop deck also has a gas barbeque for summertime grilling, cocktails, and entertainment while enjoying sparkling city views.

The residence accommodates carport parking for one car and has access to full laundry amenities in the carport closet, which can be accessed from the ground floor.

The home’s prime location with easy access to beaches, the ferry, and market makes walking around town the perfect choice. Across the street is Succulent Coffee Roasters, a full-service restaurant and coffee shop - a popular destination for locals and visitors alike. And just down the block is the Balboa Island Park, where you can enjoy summertime concerts. The ferry is at the end of the block, a short 1-minute walk, and a quick ride across the harbor to Newport Landing. Play some games at the Fun Zone, grab a frozen banana, or enjoy an evening of fine dining on the water.

If your heart is set on going to the beach, the home is fully stocked with everything you need for a fun day. Beach chairs and boogie boards are ready and waiting for you.

Revel in the experience of luxurious island living at this beautiful Tuscan-style retreat!

Really nice spot for two folks, with easy walking distance to the Main Street on Balboa Island. Plus, just one block from catching the Ferry. Condo is easy access, has off-street parking and is very comfortable. We’ll use it again!

I was in town for four nights on business and wanted to stay on Balboa Island. My wife and I have stayed several places before but none of them had air conditioning and for my stay in July I was happy to find the Tuscan style retreat did. The place was just as advertised, clean, and within walking distance to lots of shops and restaurants. The off street parking is a huge convenience as well. Next time my wife and I visit we will be sure to book.

Place was great!! Easy access and has a rooftop if you want to see sunset! Around the corner from the todos santos Mexican restaurant. It’s great and has coffee bar in the morning. Can walk to get on ferry to go across to many many restaurants and beach. We loved going to dinner on main strip! Royal Hen was yummy! It’s definitely an upscale rental for a one bedroom condo!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: For a couple visiting Newport Beach, this has to be one of the best rentals available. this property benefits from its absolute perfect location. You are on the street where the ferry crosses, this gives you access to the peninsula immediately. Rent a bike for your stay and park the car in the provided car port, your done. This location provides a nice scenic walk to get coffee in mornings on Marine street. If you're dying of starvation and don't want to go anywhere, just jump across the street to Todos Santos for great Mexican food or drinks. You can't miss with this place, it was cute, serviced all our needs and more. Just one bug: The TV was not configured for cable as advertised. This was ONLY an issue trying to watch the Super Bowl ending. We watched it on iPads. We didn't turn on the TV the rest of the stay.

My husband and I took a trip to Balboa Island. This was a perfect location on a great little island and a great place to spend my birthday! Location is perfect! We had one problem, the rooftop deck was unusable as the umbrella was completely broken and it was too sunny without it. It was not possible to be replaced while we were there. Hopefully it has been replaced as of now.
