Casa 231 2BA Bay Beachfront Retreat at Marina Park | Best Views and Location
Welcome to Casa 231 — a beautifully updated, air-conditioned bayfront retreat where relaxed beach living meets refined farmhouse style. Located directly on Newport Beach’s largest bay beach — 19th Street Bay Beach (“Mother’s Beach”) at Marina Park — Casa 231 offers one of the most unique waterfront experiences in Newport.
Thanks to our prime location, getting your toes in the water is often easier here than at many oceanfront homes, where wide stretches of sand can mean a long walk to the shoreline. Here, the bay, beach, and water are just steps away.
Set on an expansive 50-foot-wide lot, Casa 231 enjoys sweeping panoramic views of the bay, beach, boats, islands, mountains, and Newport Coast beyond. Watch paddleboarders glide by, enjoy sparkling evening lights across the harbor, and soak in waterfront living from sunrise to sunset.
Inside, the spacious open-concept great room is designed for gathering and entertaining. The professional kitchen features a 36-inch DCS range, upscale appliances, and a large round peninsula island with sit-down water views. The adjacent dining area comfortably seats six and opens to a covered front courtyard complete with a cozy fire pit — perfect for evening cocktails and outdoor dining.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS & BATHS
The primary suite features a Westin Heavenly California King bed, private ensuite bath, and direct access to the peaceful rear courtyard.
The second bedroom offers a comfortable Westin Heavenly Queen bed and also opens to the rear courtyard, creating a lovely indoor-outdoor feel.
Twin air mattress for 5th guest - hi-line double height auto inflate/deflate (no lumpy sofa bed).
Casa 231 features two full bathrooms — an important convenience for families and groups. The primary bath is ensuite to the Cal King bedroom, while the hall bath includes a bathtub that’s perfect for rinsing off sandy kids after a day at the beach.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Casa 231 sits in one of Newport Beach’s most desirable and family-friendly areas — the quiet point where the Balboa Peninsula narrows to one road, with the bay on one side and the ocean on the other. Simply cross the street for a quick 2-minute walk to the ocean beach, restaurants, shops, and the pier.
Unlike many peninsula homes, there is:
• No alley behind the property
• Minimal traffic
• A peaceful dead-end street leading directly to a small public dock
• Beautiful open bay views 24/7
The home is street-level with convenient loading and unloading nearby, including a 20-minute zone across the street often used by boaters and guests.

Summary: I’ve never written a bad review about a VRBO stay before, but I feel compelled to share my experience so others know what to expect. I stayed at Casa de Balboa for six days. The condo itself is very nice — clean, comfortable, and well-appointed — but the noise from the upstairs unit was absolutely unbearable at times.For the first few days, a toddler ran back and forth for hours, day and night. Later, a group of older guests moved in and were equally loud, talking and moving around well into the night. I contacted the owners about the issue, and they told me the woman upstairs with the toddler “was very nice.” Unfortunately, being nice doesn’t help when you’re trying to sleep. They said they would speak to the guests about the noise, but the very next day, those same guests hosted a toddler’s party with 7–10 children running, screaming, and thundering overhead.It was so loud that I could practically tell what they were eating for breakfast. The owners also said the building’s construction “is the best it can be,” but that explanation doesn’t make the situation any easier to tolerate.I truly wish past reviews had been more forthcoming about the noise levels. This was not an inexpensive stay, and the constant disturbance really put a damper on what should have been a relaxing vacation. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, be aware — if there’s anyone staying in the unit above you, you will hear them
