Balboa's Victory

Balboa's Victory: California

This home delivers a five-star hotel experience and comes with a stunning beachfront location to match it, right on Newport Beach's boardwalk. Be warned that we think you'll never leave this home, other than to step out onto the beach for a refreshing dip (the host provides beach chairs and umbrellas as well). The rooftop terrace is just out of this world – every sunset is magical and we can't think of a better spot to end a perfect day with your loved ones. Gather round the fire pit for storytelling or, if you're up for the challenge, fire up the grill for an alfresco feast under the stars. Inside, this stylish home sports a sleek look but delivers coziness and comfort in the form of fireplaces – one in the master bedroom – and top-of-the-line mattresses and bedding. Honestly, your hosts leave nothing to chance so all you have to do is let go of your worries and take in this sumptuous experience.
