This beautiful four bedroom, two bath home is located on Balboa Island in Newport Beach - one of Orange County's most popular destination spots. Just five homes in from the boardwalk and Newport Harbor, "The Cottage" enjoys one of the best locations around - the open ocean is about 15 minutes away by foot and ferry; the Island's many shops, bakeries, and restaurants are just down the street; and Fashion Island, one of the country's premiere shopping centers, is five minutes away by car.
"The Cottage" is approximately 1,600 square feet and is beautifully decorated in a California beach motif. It is clean and well maintained. It is an original home but with a number of upgrades, including: double-pane windows and remodeled bathrooms. The kitchen is original with tile countertops. There is a view of the water from one of the upstairs bedrooms.
The bottom level consists of an open den and dining area with a table that can seat six to eight; a small bedroom with a twin bed; a bathroom (shower, vanity and toilet); and a full kitchen (gas range, dishwasher, refrigerator, small appliances). The second level consists of three bedrooms and one full bath (remodeled with new tub and tile, vanity and toilet). The entire house is free of carpet (high-end vinyl plank floors upstairs; hardwood downstairs). There is also a sink in the master bedroom. The bed configuration upstairs is one full, one queen, and one king bed.
A fabulous brick front patio is the perfect spot for outdoor dining and relaxing. There is a patio sofa and one comfort chair plus a patio table with four comfortable chairs. There is also a rear patio with lovely plants, a barbecue, patio sofa and two chairs. Please note: the apartment above garage is accessed by tenant via rear patio so the rear patio is not for the exclusive use of front house guests. Washer and dryer in garage is shared with apartment tenant.
The boardwalk that encircles the island is one of the most scenic spots around. During the summer, you can often see sailboat regattas in the harbor, and pelicans and sea lions. This boardwalk is off-limits to skateboarders and bicyclists so it's the perfect place to enjoy peaceful walks.
The home's amenities include a side-by-side washer and dryer (in garage and shared with apartment), one space in a two-car garage); a 50' 1080 HD flat-screen TV in the den; a TV in the master bedroom; cable TV, Blue Ray DVD, and wireless Internet service. The fully-appointed kitchen includes a gas range, dishwasher, microwave, and most all small appliances.
The one-bedroom, one bath apartment located above garage is also available for rent (VRBO ID# 4209793) This apartment sleeps three (one queen bed, one twin bed).
During the summer months, we have a one-week minimum stay requirement and the home rents on a Saturday-to-Saturday basis only, with check-in at 3:00 pm and check-out at 10:00 am.
Guests staying more than two weeks pay for gas and electric usage during their stay.
Please Note: Once you've booked, we will ask for the names of all adults who will be staying at the property along with a copy of their driver's licenses. On stays over 30 days, reserve the right to run credit. All adults must sign our Short-term Rental Agreement.

Summary: My family (wife and our 3 kids) and I stayed here over the Thanksgiving holiday and the property is exactly what we were looking for. The shops and restaurants (including a small grocery store) of Balboa Island are 1 block away. And to get to the beach, we just walked 10 minutes to the ferry, which takes you across to the peninsula/beach area for $1.75. Highly recommend!
