Harbor House | Bayfront Estate

Summary:

Bring everyone together at Harbor House, a one-of-a-kind bayfront estate in the heart of Balboa Village. Combining the main house and private guest apartment, this spacious waterfront retreat is ideal for family reunions, milestone celebrations, and group vacations. Walk to the Balboa Fun Zone, the Balboa Ferry, restaurants, harbor cruises, and the beach, then return to expansive indoor-outdoor living, a rooftop hot tub, and front-row views of Newport Harbor.



The Space:

Harbor House was made for bringing people together. With both the main house and private guest apartment included, everyone can enjoy time together while still having space to retreat when it's time to relax.



The heart of the property is the spectacular bayfront great room, where an entire wall of glass disappears into the walls, opening completely to the waterfront patio. Whether you're enjoying breakfast while boats drift by, gathering for family dinners, or simply relaxing together after a day exploring Newport Beach, the harbor becomes part of your living space.



The fully equipped kitchen flows naturally into the dining and living areas, making it easy to prepare meals while staying connected with family and friends. Upstairs, another wall of glass opens the home to fresh coastal breezes, while the rooftop deck offers a private hot tub—the perfect place to unwind after sunset.



The main home comfortably accommodates larger groups with spacious bedrooms, multiple gathering areas, and a loft sleeping space that provides additional flexibility. The separate guest apartment adds even more privacy with its own king bedroom, en suite bathroom, full kitchen, living area, and loft with a queen Murphy bed, making it an excellent space for grandparents, another family, or guests who appreciate a little separation while still being part of the group.



Three dedicated parking spaces—a garage, a covered carport, and an additional covered parking space—allow your group to arrive, park, and spend the rest of your vacation exploring on foot.



From morning coffee overlooking Newport Harbor to evening walks along the waterfront, Harbor House makes it easy to enjoy everything that has made Balboa Village one of Southern California's most beloved beach destinations.



Guest Access:

Guests enjoy exclusive access to the entire property, including:



The main bayfront home

The private guest apartment

Waterfront patio

Rooftop deck with hot tub



Parking includes:



One garage parking space

Two covered carport parking spaces



Beach gear is provided for guest use throughout your stay.



The Neighborhood:

Harbor House sits directly on Newport Harbor in the heart of Balboa Village, one of the most walkable and entertaining destinations in Newport Beach.



Walk to the Balboa Fun Zone, ride the historic Balboa Ferry to Balboa Island, rent a Duffy boat, book a whale watching excursion or fishing charter with Davey's Locker, or enjoy an afternoon exploring waterfront restaurants, cafés, shops, and local attractions. The beach is only a short walk across the Peninsula, making it easy to enjoy both the harbor and the Pacific Ocean during your stay.



This is one of the few places where every generation can find something to enjoy without ever getting back in the car—from grandparents enjoying harbor views to children spending the afternoon at the Fun Zone and everyone gathering together for dinner along the waterfront.



Getting Around:

John Wayne Airport (SNA) is approximately 20 minutes away.



Once you arrive, many of Newport Beach's most popular attractions are within walking distance. Walking, biking, and the Balboa Ferry make exploring the area both easy and enjoyable, while Uber and Lyft provide convenient transportation throughout Orange County.



Other Things to Note:

• This listing includes both the main house and the private guest apartment.

• The property spans multiple levels connected by stairs. There is no elevator, and it may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility.

• A ground-floor bedroom in the main home allows guests who prefer fewer stairs to remain on the primary living level after arrival.

• The guest apartment loft is accessed by a spiral staircase.

• The rooftop hot tub provides a private place to relax after a day on the water.

• Three dedicated off-street parking spaces are included—a rare convenience in Newport Beach.

• Beach gear is provided for guest use.

• Quiet hours must be observed in accordance with Newport Beach regulations.



Interaction with Guests:

Arrival Getaways provides a private, frictionless arrival experience while remaining available whenever you need us.



Before your stay, you'll receive access to our digital Boarding Pass, your complete guide to the property, check-in instructions, Wi-Fi information, local recommendations, and everything you need to make the most of your Newport Beach getaway. While you'll have the privacy to enjoy the property on your own schedule, our team is only a message or phone call away should you need assistance.

Beautiful Bayfront

This beautiful bayfront property has just about everything you will need for your vacation. The house is very clean, kitchen supplies are plentiful, and the decor is very nice. Being just a few steps from the bay is great for young children. We really enjoyed our stay.

Awesome stay!

Our work team stayed here during a convention in the area and it was perfect for 6 of us- everyone had their own space for privacy, but the main area was spacious enough for us to hang out as well. Loved that there were 5 bathrooms and you really can't beat the view. Our host was very communicative and checked in several times to make sure all was going great. We hope to stay here again next year!

Window to Paradise

We had an amazing 7 night stay at this beautiful property. LOCATION is the BEST. Steps away from the Balboa Pier. Steps away from Newport Beach. Steps away from our own pier and beach. Truly magical stay and one that my family and I will remember for the rest of our days.

Waterfront retreat

Location is five stars for proximity to harbor, beach, ferry to Balboa island, restaurants. Property ideal for a family group w multiple rooms and levels to spread out. Property wasn’t quite ready for check-in at 5 PM w cleaners still working, but owner and property manager prompt communicating to rectify the situation
