Harbor House | Bayfront Getaway

Summary:

Wake up on the waterfront in one of Newport Beach's most sought-after locations. Harbor House is a spacious bayfront home in Balboa Village, where restaurants, the Balboa Fun Zone, harbor cruises, the Balboa Ferry, and the beach are all just a short walk away. Perfect for families and groups, the home features expansive indoor-outdoor living, a rooftop hot tub, two dedicated parking spaces (one garage and one carport), and front-row views of Newport Harbor's ever-changing activity.



The Space:

Some homes are simply a place to stay. Others become part of the vacation itself.



At Harbor House, Newport Harbor becomes your front yard. Start your morning, with coffee in hand, watching paddleboarders glide across the bay, spend the afternoon exploring Balboa Village, and finish the evening soaking in the rooftop hot tub after dinner on the waterfront.



The heart of the home is the spectacular bayfront living area, where an entire wall of sliding glass doors disappears, opening the home completely to the patio and harbor beyond. Whether you're gathering for meals, celebrating with family, or simply relaxing after a day at the beach, the seamless connection between indoors and outdoors creates the kind of space that defines a Southern California vacation.



The fully equipped kitchen flows naturally into the dining and living areas, making it easy for everyone to stay connected while preparing meals or enjoying time together.



The home comfortably accommodates families and larger groups with spacious bedrooms, including a ground-floor bedroom that's convenient for guests who prefer to minimize stairs once they've settled in. An additional loft sleeping area with a Murphy bed provides flexible accommodations for larger groups.



On the second floor, enjoy the fresh coastal air and harbor views from the balcony or from the den with the glass doors collapsed to the side. The rooftop deck offers a more private retreat with a hot tub—the perfect place to unwind after a full day exploring Newport Beach.



Beach gear is provided, making it easy to enjoy both the harbor and the nearby ocean without filling your vehicle before you arrive.



Whether you're planning a family vacation, celebrating a special occasion, or simply escaping for a few days by the water, Harbor House offers an unforgettable setting in one of Newport Beach's most desirable locations.

The Neighborhood:

Few locations capture the Newport Beach experience quite like Balboa Village.



Step outside and stroll along the waterfront to breakfast, rent a Duffy boat for the afternoon, book a whale watching excursion or fishing charter from Davey's Locker, or take the historic Balboa Ferry across the harbor to Balboa Island.



The Balboa Fun Zone, local restaurants, casual waterfront dining, coffee shops, ice cream, funnel cakes, pizza, boutiques, and family attractions are all within easy walking distance. When you're ready for the sand, Newport Beach is only a short walk across the Peninsula.



The beauty of staying here is that your car can stay parked while you experience one of Southern California's most walkable beach communities.
