The Space:
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 with tub that’s perfect for rinsing off sandy kids after a day at the beach. The hall bath has a step in shower.

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.

Quiet Hours & Neighborhood Peace
Quiet hours are 10:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m. Outdoor socializing moves indoors by 10:00 p.m., with indoor sound kept low enough to avoid disturbing neighbors. Music and other amplified or reproduced sound are not permitted outdoors or audible beyond the property line during these hours. Unreasonable noise and disturbances are prohibited at all times.

Refuse Collection
Casa 231’s waste containers are in the rear courtyard, with separate containers for trash, recycling, and organic waste. Regular collection is Tuesday.
