Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Perched on the Balboa Peninsula with the Pacific stretching out ahead, this Newport Beach house earns its stripes at the front balcony – where a bar counter and barbecue make sunset dinners feel like a ritual. Inside, light pours into the living and dining space, and the rustic table is the kind that invites long, unhurried meals. Newport Beach Pier is a twenty-two-minute walk, Balboa Island a short drive, and a concierge service means fridge stocking, beach gear, and private chefs can all be arranged before you arrive.

Home truths
This is the upper unit of a two-unit building, so you'll share the building with neighbours downstairs. Bear that in mind if you're a light sleeper or travelling with a lively group. You'll also need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.
There's no air conditioning here, so warm summer days can get uncomfortable indoors. Ceiling fans are available to help, and sea breezes from the balcony offer some relief.
Bedroom five has a single-over-double bunk bed that can sleep up to three people. This room might be best suited to children.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a travel cot, and a high chair is available on request with at least twenty-four hours' notice.
Though there's free parking here, it's only suitable for compact vehicles.
The lead guest must be at least 25 years old.

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...
