About this property

Perfect Spot! 1 block to beach, garage, private deck, bikes & beach toys!

The front unit of a duplex, this upstairs unit is an exceptionally clean, open concept, bright and sunny 1 bedroom apartment located in one of the most desirable areas of the Balboa Peninsula - 35th Street! Just park your car in the garage and walk to the beautiful beach, bars, restaurants, the grocery store and shopping!

This beach property is an ideal getaway for a couple but with air mattresses set up in the living room, allows sleeping for up to 4 people (although 4 adults may find it tight). We also have a Pack n Play available upon request.

The kitchen is compact but has everything you need including beautiful quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances with microwave, gas range, dishwasher, a Keurig coffee maker and basic spices.

The bedroom is furnished with a Cal King bed and Tommy Bahama furniture and has tons of built-in cabinetry for storage.

The bathroom has a great shower (no tub). Soap, shampoo, conditioner and other essentials are provided.

There is a large private deck off of the bedroom with a Weber gas BBQ, comfortable swivel rocker chairs, chaise lounge chairs and a gas fire pit for relaxing after a long day at the beach.

This unit does not have air conditioning. It generally cools down very nicely at night so sleeping is comfortable with the ocean breeze.

We also have a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom listing for the back unit on this property - beautifully furnished, cozy gas fireplace, gorgeous kitchen, great bathrooms, roof deck and air conditioning. If you have a larger party or just want more space, you may inquire with us or take a look at #4881260. The back unit can sleep a maximum of 5 people.

General Info:

Garage Parking: You will have use of the left side of the garage and may park 1 car. Although the garage is longer than most, it is narrow (only 18' wide) as many are in Newport Beach. Since you are sharing the garage with the guests of the other unit, please be very careful not to ding the other car next to yours. There is an arched garage door so large SUVs and pick-ups will not fit. For example, a Suburban, Escalade or a Tahoe are all too tall and too wide. Please do not try to make your car fit if you have one of these types of vehicles. They are not allowed in the garage. If your vehicle is a pick-up or a super large SUV, you will need to find on-street parking. If in doubt whether your vehicle is allowed in the garage, please contact me and I can let you know. The rule is not negotiable.

Linens: Linens, blankets, pillows, bath towels, kitchen towels and beach towels are all provided.

Kitchen/Supplies: The kitchen is well supplied with dishes, cookware, silverware, blender, toaster oven, a Keurig coffee maker and many spices. We will supply some paper products to get your vacation started, however you may need to supplement or replenish the paper supplies during your stay. Also, bring your favorite K-cups for the Keurig! We will have a few K-cups on hand for you but, if you’re a coffee lover, you’ll want to have more! The refrigerator is small but more than adequate. It’s full height but only 24” wide and 24” deep. The freezer is on the bottom section and it does not have an ice maker. There are ice cube trays. If you need to fill a cooler with ice, your best bet is to walk over to the grocery store which is a couple of blocks away and buy a bag.

Living/Dining Area: Bright and comfortably furnished living room with a 50” Roku TV, cable and wifi included. A cozy little electric fireplace can be used with or without the heat feature so you can enjoy the ambience year round. The dining table comfortably seats 4 and there are two bar stools at the kitchen counter bar.

Extra Stuff: To help make your vacation extra special, bicycles, boogie boards, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, beach wagons, ice chest, corn hole boards, bocci balls and a surfboard are all available for your enjoyment. If the other unit has guests staying while you are there, the "extra stuff" will be available on a first come, first served basis. All amenities, "extra stuff", is for the use of authorized guests only. Visitors are not allowed to make use of anything provided in the garage.

Laundry: The washer/dryer in the garage is for your private use. Detergent and dryer sheets are provided.
