The Balboa Collection

Experiences on the peninsula

Make a week of it

A stay on the boardwalk is more than the unit. From the water to the table, your local team arranges the details — so the only thing left to do is wander out onto the sand.

Beach cruisers & boards

Beach cruisers, surfboards, and stand-up paddleboards delivered to the building — everything you need for the boardwalk out front and the break beyond it.

Harbor Duffy boats

A classic electric Duffy reserved for a sunset cruise around Newport Harbor and Balboa Island — easy to captain yourself, no license needed, snacks and drinks aboard.

Surf & paddle lessons

A local instructor meets you on the sand for a private surf or stand-up paddle lesson — beginners genuinely welcome, all gear included.

Dining & reservations

From the lobster spot on the pier to a harbor-view dinner on Balboa Island, we line up the reservation and share the recommendations worth your time.

A taste of what's possible — if you have something else in mind, your concierge will arrange it.

Your local team

A local team for every stay

Every reservation comes with a real local contact — to arrange any of the above, point you to the best taco stand and the quietest stretch of sand, and handle the details before you arrive. One text away, the whole stay.

Already booked? We'll be in touch before arrival — with anything on this page ready to go for your stay.
