The charming harbourside neighbourhood of Balboa Island is a man-made treasure where the streets are named after precious gems, and we can see why. The quaint seaside mood that runs throughout the house is perfect for anyone looking to disconnect and recharge. At the same time, the harbourside location makes it an ideal base for a family looking to enjoy Balboa's and Newport's beach sports. Cycle, surf, play tennis, and snorkel to truly enjoy life in one of the West Coast’s most famous seaside towns. Hop on the Balboa ferry, a six-minute walk from your home, and cruise over to the Balboa Fun Zone with the kids in a little over fifteen minutes. Spend evenings at the Newport Beach pier, just over a mile and a half further down the beach. Here, your family can enjoy renowned eateries, creamy gelato, and live music. Alternatively, explore the shops of Balboa’s own Marine Ave, a five-minute walk away from your home. On returning to the house, unwind on the patio and enjoy stellar sunsets and the starlit sky. You will not want to give this hidden treasure away.

About Newport Beach

Newport Beach was a playground to many of Hollywood's elite with a combination of old school glamour and a cool, laid back surfer vibe. Back in the day, it served as The Hamptons to the Beverly Hills crowd, especially keen yachtsmen like Humphrey Bogart. John Wayne also had an oceanfront mansion here, and you can instantly imagine all the glam parties this exclusive neighbourhood has experienced. You certainly need true...
