Property Description

Tucked just steps from South Bayfront, this charming Balboa Island cottage invites you to slow down, settle in, and experience island living the way it was meant to be. Available for 30+ day leases and offered fully furnished, this is the kind of home that instantly feels like a getaway—yet lives with the ease and comfort of something far more permanent.

Originally designed by renowned architect Leon Yale as one of the island's early cottages, the home carries a sense of history and character that is increasingly rare. At the same time, thoughtful updates throughout—including a beautifully renovated kitchen and brand-new bathrooms—bring a fresh, modern ease to everyday living.

The layout balances comfort and functionality, with a main-level primary suite and laundry creating the ease of single-level living. Upstairs, charming secondary bedrooms offer a cozy retreat for family or guests, complemented by a recently remodeled bathroom that pairs classic character with refined, modern finishes.

Mornings can start with a short stroll along South Bayfront, coffee in hand. Afternoons are spent wandering Marine Avenue—just a five-minute walk away—exploring local shops, restaurants, and everything that makes the island so special. And with the ferry just two streets over, beach days, the Fun Zone, and the best of Newport are always within easy reach.

Beautifully updated and exceptionally well equipped, this home offers more than just a place to stay—it's an opportunity to fully experience the rhythm, charm, and ease of life on Balboa Island. STATED RATE IS OFF SEASON RATE FOR SEPTEMBER THROUGH MAY
