Harbor House - Bayfront Getaway, Rooftop Hot Tub

At Harbor House, the view is not confined to a window. Open the glass wall and the living room becomes part of the waterfront patio, where passing boats accompany coffee, meals, and time together. The main bayfront home gives six guests three enclosed bedrooms, a loft, and four full bathrooms, while a rooftop hot tub, dock lounge, two parking spaces, and Balboa Village outside the door let the stay move between harbor, beach, and town without much driving.

The harbor is not background scenery at Harbor House. It moves throughout the day with paddleboarders, sailboats, ferry traffic, and changing light, giving time at the property its own place within a Newport Beach vacation.

A wall of sliding glass doors disappears into the adjoining walls, joining the great room with the waterfront patio. Morning coffee can begin beside the bay, meals can move between the kitchen and grill, and the group can gather without losing the coastal air or harbor view.

The kitchen faces the dining and living areas, keeping the person preparing a meal connected to the room. The patio continues toward the water with seating, a grill, and access to the dock lounge.

Upstairs, a second living space opens toward the harbor and gives the group another place to gather or step away. The rooftop deck rises above the activity below, with a private hot tub overlooking Newport Harbor.

Harbor House accommodates up to six guests:
Primary bedroom: King bed
Two additional bedrooms: One Queen bed in each
Loft: Queen Murphy bed
Bathrooms: Four full bathrooms

One bedroom is located on the main level for guests who prefer fewer interior stairs after arrival. The loft provides a fourth sleeping area but is not an enclosed bedroom.

Air conditioning, laundry, beach equipment, one garage parking space, and one covered carport space are included.

Harbor House sits at the water's edge in Balboa Village, where Newport Harbor and the Pacific beach are separated by a narrow stretch of the Peninsula. Guests can begin the morning beside the bay, cross to the sand, and return for dinner overlooking the water without getting into a car.

The Balboa Fun Zone, Balboa Ferry, Balboa Pier, restaurants, cafes, shops, harbor cruises, fishing charters, and boat rentals are within walking distance. The ferry carries pedestrians, bicycles, and vehicles across the harbor to Balboa Island, turning the crossing itself into part of exploring Newport Beach.

Balboa Village remains active through the day and evening. Harbor traffic, ferry activity, waterfront dining, and visitors create the energy that makes the neighborhood engaging and walkable.

Walking and bicycling are often the most useful ways to explore Balboa Village and the surrounding Peninsula. The Balboa Ferry connects the neighborhood with Balboa Island, while rideshare services and taxis are available for destinations throughout Newport Beach and Orange County.

Two off-street parking spaces are included: one garage space and one covered carport space. Guests bringing two vehicles should confirm that each vehicle will fit within its designated space.

John Wayne Airport is approximately 20 minutes away under typical traffic conditions. Travel time can vary with traffic.
