Harbor House - Bayfront Estate and Rooftop Hot Tub | House in Newport Beach
6 Bedroom House in Balboa Peninsula, Newport Beach
Summary:
Harbor House makes Newport Harbor part of the room. Slide the glass wall away and the main living space opens to the waterfront patio, where coffee, dinner, and time together unfold beside passing boats. The complete property pairs the bayfront home with a separate guest apartment for up to 10 guests, while two kitchens, a rooftop hot tub, dock lounge, and walkable Balboa Village give the group room to gather, step away, and shape each day around the water.
The Space:
Harbor House changes as soon as the glass wall opens. The boundary between the great room and waterfront patio falls away, carrying conversation, meals, and the coastal air between the two. Boats cross the harbor beyond the dock, giving even unplanned time at the property a front-row connection to Newport Beach.
The kitchen faces the gathering space, so preparing breakfast or dinner does not separate anyone from the room or the view. The patio continues toward the water, with a grill, outdoor seating, and a dock lounge for watching the harbor at its own pace.
Above the main home, the rooftop hot tub offers a different perspective on the bay. It is a place to settle in after the beach, dinner in Balboa Village, or a day spent moving between the ferry and the water.
The complete-property arrangement adds flexibility that a single large home cannot always provide. The main bayfront home is the natural center of the stay, while the separate guest apartment has its own kitchen and living area. Grandparents, another family, or guests who keep a different schedule can have a space of their own without being removed from the group.
Harbor House accommodates up to 10 guests across six sleeping spaces:
Main house: Three enclosed bedrooms and one loft
Guest apartment: One enclosed bedroom and one loft
Beds: One King bed and five Queen beds
Bathrooms: Five full bathrooms
The guest-apartment loft is reached by a spiral staircase. Air conditioning and laundry are available across the property.
Three off-street parking spaces are included: one garage space and two covered carport spaces. Once the cars are parked, much of Balboa Village can be explored on foot.
Guest Access:
Guests have private use of the complete Harbor House property, including the main bayfront home, separate guest apartment, two kitchens, waterfront patio, rooftop deck and hot tub, grill, dock lounge, and designated parking spaces.
An owner's yacht may be moored at the dock. The yacht is not included with the property and is not available for guest access or use.
One garage parking space and two covered carport spaces are included.
Self-guided arrival information and access instructions are provided before check-in through your Arrival Getaways Boarding Pass.
The Neighborhood:
Harbor House sits at the water's edge in Balboa Village, where the harbor and Pacific beach are separated by a narrow stretch of the Newport Beach Peninsula. The setting allows a day to begin beside passing boats, cross the Peninsula for time on the sand, and return to the bay without requiring a drive.
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 stays active through the day and evening. Harbor traffic, ferry activity, waterfront dining, and visitors create the energy that makes the neighborhood engaging and walkable.
Getting Around:
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.
Three off-street parking spaces are included: one garage space and two covered carport spaces. Guests bringing three 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.
Your Arrival Getaways Boarding Pass includes our Transportation Guidebook with recommendations for airport transfers, rental cars, rideshare services, and local transportation.
