Have the BEST of both..the beautiful Newport Bay AND the Ocean!!
Casa de Balboa is located on Balboa Peninsula with ferry service to Balboa Island. The peninsula is primarily divided by one road, Balboa Boulevard, with a short block on either side with the ocean or bay. You can see the lifeguard stands from both the bay and ocean beaches as well as the boardwalk.
Casa de Balboa consists of two buildings, Hibiscus, and Bougainvillea on 95 feet of bay front. Each building has a 2 bedroom, 2 bath Casa located on the lower level and a 3 bedroom 2 bath on the upper levels for a total of 10 bedrooms 8 baths perfect for family reunions! The rooms are beautifully decorated and highly upgraded. The kitchens are custom, including custom cabinetry and granite, stone or wood floors, and are fully-appointed. The lower units have large courtyards in both the front and back (The rear is 45 ft to 50 ft wide! Great for kids and pets!), with cobblestone pavers and lovely gardens filled with gardenias, hibiscus, bougainvillea and giant birds of paradise. Spacious private decks on the upper levels provide plenty of outdoor space and sweeping views of the water and beach.
Views! Views! Views! Unlike many oceanside properties (no view due to the width of the beach) you have amazing views day and night from each Casa indoors or out!
We have a premium location across from a beautiful large bay beach (Mother's Beach) which is reverse L shaped. We are located on the bottom part of the L jutting into the bay with views across Newport Bay of the beach, boats, the
islands, Fashion Island, Newport Coast, and the mountains in back of all that! The view is particularly lovely at night with city and bay lights.
Watch the boats pass by from the comfort of your living room, and of course, from your large private front courtyard or decks (upper levels) which are great for outdoor dining. The courtyards are covered and walled (with bougainvillea, star jasmine, and gardenias) on both sides offering a feeling of privacy and unmatched coziness while enjoying the gorgeous full bay and beach views. They, as well as the upper decks, afford front-row seating for the fourth of July Boat Parade and the world-famous Newport Harbor Christmas Boat Parade.

ABOUT NEWPORT BEACH:
Newport Beach has the perfect location as it is centrally located between Los Angeles (Hollywood) and San Diego. It is a short drive to Disneyland and Knottsberry Farms, as well as many day trips.
Newport Beach is one of California's Overlooked Treasures
What: Charming island and peninsula, with great beaches. Despite all of its charms, it's often overlooked by tourists and area residents alike, which keeps it relatively uncrowded.
The seven islands of Newport Beach Harbor lie cradled inside Balboa Peninsula, and are some of the most expensive real estate in Southern California. Homes costing $1.5 million and up are surrounded by one of the world's largest small yacht harbors. Newport Beach is a quiet, relaxed place where you're more likely to meet the harbor patrol than the highway patrol, and you'll hear more birds than automobiles.
Where: Just off Pacific Coast Highway in Orange County. Take CA 55 south from I-5 and directly onto Newport Blvd., or exit CA 1 at Newport Blvd. Newport Blvd. turns into Balboa Blvd., and goes down the middle of the peninsula.
NEWPORT BEACH SIGHTS AND ACTIVITIES
Harbor Cruise: Cruise on the Pavilion Paddy to get acquainted with Newport Beach Harbor. Soak up sunshine while moving gently past through green water. Float past waterfront homes, each with their own boat dock, and listen to the gossip-column stories of today and yesterday. Learn who owns that enormous yacht, and how they made their money. You'll pass cottages so small you'd have to go outside just to change your mind, and million dollar mansions divided by sibling squabbles.
Balboa Beach: Balboa Peninsula's beach was named one of the top ten urban beaches in the United States by Surfrider Magazine in 2001. Ocean side or harbor side? It could be the most difficult decision of your day. The Wedge, at the ocean-side tip of Balboa Peninsula, is famous for bodysurfing. Nearby, Corona del Mar State Beach sits below protective cliffs, the sand littered with beachgoers.
Balboa Island: The ferry takes you to Balboa Island, but first stop for lunch on the upstairs patio at Newport Landing, where the harbor traffic provides a side dish of free entertainment to go with your meal. Once planned to be a racetrack, Balboa Island now teems with cottages arranged in neat rows, looking like a Norman Rockwell scene with American flags flying. Marine Avenue, the island's only shopping area, offers a variety of wares, from handmade kites to resort wear.
Newport is well known for it surfers and the Dory Fishing Fleet. Watch them bring in their catch at the Newport Pier around 9am. Grab a coffee and donut at the beach shops first.
NEWPORT BEACH CHRISTMAS BOAT PARADE
The Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade stated in the early 1900s when Venetian gondolier John Scarpa put lights on eight canoes and his gondola. Scarpa might be surprised at what his simple act has spawned, with some entrants in today's Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade spending over $50,000 to decorate their vessels for the event. It's a popular local tradition, but the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade has also been ranked one of the country's top holiday happenings by the New York Times.
These days, it's largest harbor parade in Southern California, with more than 100 boats, canoes, kayaks cruising the harbor decked out in enough lights to make Las Vegas jealous.
Watching the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade from Land
The Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade starts at Collins Island at 6:30 p.m. each evening and finishes at the same spot. It runs for five days in mid-December, Wednesday through Sunday. The boats follow a longer route on the weekend, taking about two and a half hours to make their rounds on Wednesday and Thursday and three hours on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The bay front is a great place to watch the show of passing lights reflecting off the water. The parade route goes generally along the inner edges of the bay and circles Balboa Island.
