Beautiful Balboa Island Vacation Rentals

Balboa Island History 

Get in ultimate vacation mode as soon as you step onto beautiful Balboa Island located in Newport Beach. It all began in 1899 when W.S. Collins purchased 1,000 acres of land around the Newport Bay area for a mere $50,000. The man made island of only .2 square miles presently known as Balboa Island was created after dredging Newport Harbor and it only took 15 years for the value of the island to skyrocket to $5,000,000. This incredible investment continues to increase in value and has now become the home to hundreds of locals and the #1 vacation destination for people all over the world.

Balboa Island is certainly a charming destination with flower lined streets, beautifully painted mailboxes, unique homes, and lots of people riding bikes. There is a certain relaxed Southern Californian beach vibe that keeps people coming back to escape from the stress and demands of everyday life. How can you not feel complete bliss as you stroll the gemstone named streets such as Sapphire, Ruby, Opal, and Turquoise Ave. Walk along the breathtaking waterfront or jump on a bike and cruise around the Island, Main Street and take the ferry over to explore Balboa Peninsula.
