Balboa Island Luxury Homes

Sharon Paxson (Prudential California Realty) — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 17:07:08 -0500

Balboa Island Luxury Homes
Newport Beach, California

Balboa Island is divided into three islands. There is the main island which has over 1100 homes, the Little Island which is located across the Grand Canal has over 200 homes. And Collins Island which is located of the main Island has 8 homes. The streets of Balboa Island are named after Semi-precious stones including Jade, Onyx, Sapphire, and Coral which creates more charm in the area.

A great way to visit the island is to take the Balboa Island ferry. There are three 64 foot ferries, that have the capacity to carry three automobiles. Also bicyclists and pedestrians can ride for a fee as well. The ferry drivers are very skilled, especially during the summer months when Newport Harbor can be incredibly busy with the Newport Harbor boat traffic. It is a great way to travel from the Peninsula to the Island and enjoy the beauty of the Newport Harbor on the brief journey.

Balboa Island has both bay front homes and interior homes. There is a quaint village on the main island that is located on Marine Avenue - enjoy shops, dining, and during the summer months there is an art festival. Many of the island residents travel around via golf carts. It is a great way to start the day by walking around the island, and many visitors and residents begin their day by walking or jogging around the island.

Lido Sands, Newport Beach, California

Sharon Paxson (Prudential California Realty) — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 17:42:27 -0500

Lido Sands - Newport Beach

<
Lido Sands is a gated development of 82 homes located on the west side of Newport Beach. Walking distance to one of the finest beaches in Newport Beach, Lido Sands is a highly sought after neighborhood. With reasonable association fees, Lido Sands originally offered three different home plans. These homes in Lido Sands all featured open, high ceilings, and floor to ceiling glass windows which creates an open feel. These windows look towards the patio and gardens. All the patios of the homes in Lido Sands lead to an Estrada which is a landscaped walkway between the row of homes. This walkway allows access to the neighbor's homes, and allows access to the community pool and recreation area located at the east end of the tract. The recreation center features a pool, and playground equipment. The main streets that make up the Lido Sands community, are Lido Sands Drive and River Avenue. One more benefit of living in Lido Sands, is that the utilities have recently been put underground so there are no more unsightly overhead utility poles.

Lido Sands is a family area that has the benefits of a gated community, but also the beach lifestyle. The children that live in the Lido Sands neighborhood attend Newport Elementary which is located on the beach. The elementary school children literally have the beach as their play ground.

Maui - "The Valley Isle"

Sharon Paxson (Prudential California Realty) — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 12:14:55 -0500
The Wailea area of Maui is located on the dryer and warmer part of the island. There are lava fields which sculpt the landscape. The trees and foliage grew right along the coastline which creates even more beauty.

In the Wailea area, water activities are very popular - including outrigger canoe, sailing, swimming, snorkel-ling and of course Scuba diving.

There is an extinct volcano named Molokini which is located about 2 miles off the coast of Maui. This is a very popular snorkel ling and even more popular Scuba site. In the center, there is a reef with a large number of species of fish. And there is also diving on the back wall of Molokini which drops off to about 300'. Molokini is a protected preserve area.

From the coast of Wailea you can view an island named Kahoolawe. This island is not inhabited and in the early 1990's, was used by the US Navy as a bombing range. Currently there is a preservation effort to restore the island.

The flowers and foliage are abundant, beautiful and fragrant.

There is a cove on Maui past Wailea which has two narrow entries into the water, and if there is a swell, then it can be treacherous swimming due to the lava and rock located there. It is a very small beach lined with trees, and looks toward Kahoolawe and Molokini.

The sunsets in the Wailea area are like no other. They change about every minute.

If you get the opportunity, visit Maui. There is a direct flight from Los Angeles International Airport and it is about five hours to get there.

For now Aloha, until I get to visit again.

Aloha from Maui

Sharon Paxson (Prudential California Realty) — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 13:28:36 -0500

Aloha - I am on vacation this week on the beautiful island of Maui. Maui is the second largest of the Hawaiian islands and is part of the state of Hawaii. Maui is a diverse and unique area offering beauty and diverse activities for those reside in Maui or visit Maui.

Maui is a five hour jet ride from Los Angeles International Airport to Kahului Airport (airport identifier OGG). Kahaului is located between the Haleakala area and the West Maui Mountain Range. Maui offers many destination points to visit. We have started our journey here at Kapalua which is a bit more rainy than other parts of Maui, but offers luxury golf courses and fantastic views of the ocean. Many of these golf courses are championship golf courses.

Maui is also home to Lahaina, which is a former whaling town. In Lahaina, there is a street called Front Street where you can walk to shopping and dining. Some of the dining experiences include restaurants called Bubba Gumps and Cheeseburger in Paradise (it really is paradise here).

The city of Kaanapali is a 3 mile stretch of beach and there is an area called Black Rock located there. I have dove in that area and have seen sea turtles and different sea life. Also, located in Kaanapali is an open air market place which is called Whaler's Village where there are a multitude of shops and restaurants. The Kaanapali area features water sports (para sailing, swimming, catamaran cruises just to name a few).  In fact there is a new zip line adventure in this area, and if you are visiting Maui, be sure to make reservations in advance.

The beaches in Maui are beautiful and the color of the water is like no other.

The people are friendly, the scenery is beautiful and there is no shortage of things to do. There is horse back riding and trail rides which is another way to view the island. The restaurants are fantastic, many of the courses include different Hawaiian fish prepared in a variety of ways.

Blackrock area of Kaanapali

Snorkel-ling and Scuba are huge activities here, and we are planning a Scuba dive tomorrow.

Enjoy this sunset from the Kapalua area of Maui.

For now, Aloha to you from Maui.

Sunset Bike Ride to Huntington Beach, California

Sharon Paxson (Prudential California Realty) — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 10:46:41 -0500

Sunset Bike Rides on a Beach Cruiser
One of the benefits in living along the Coast in Newport Beach is the ease of getting to and from your destination on a beach cruiser. Huntington Beach is only a five mile bike ride from the west end of Newport Beach which is absolutely beautiful and I have done it many times. You are able to ride along the boardwalk to Main Street in downtown Huntington Beach. Of course you share the boardwalk with others including joggers, skate boarders, roller bladers, bicyclists and people enjoying a beautiful and picturesque walk.

Last night was incredibly busy with people enjoy the beach, creating bonfires, and it was very busy, but everyone seemed to be having a great time enjoying the summer weather.

People were still swimming, surfing and walking along the boardwalk and the beach. The tower on the pier is Huntington Beach City Lifeguard tower where they watch for swimminers and surfers along the pier.

Of course there is nothing like a Huntington Beach sunset. The Huntington Beach city guard is still on duty as you can see from the buoy hanging from the tower.

People were still enjoying the ocean as the sun sets.

When you are visiting in Newport Beach or Huntington Beach, be sure to hop on a beach cruiser and enjoy the beautiful sunsets.

Enjoy the Crab Cooker in Newport Beach

Sharon Paxson (Prudential California Realty) — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 20:28:57 -0500

Come and Enjoy the original Crab Cooker in Newport Beach.

If you are planning a visit to Newport Beach, you must dine at the Crab Cooker in Newport Beach. Located in the heart of the Newport Peninsula, across from the Newport Beach pier, the Crab Cooker is located at:

2200 Newport Blvd.,
Newport Beach CA 92663
(949) 673-0100

www.crabcooker.com

The Crab Cooker is a favorite for both locals and visitors. They have fabulous crab cocktails, shrimp cocktails, grilled fish and it is all fresh. There is also fabulous fisherman's bread which is a must with the clam chowder. And you can always order food to go and enjoy it at home, sitting on your deck or patio or on the beach. You can order it ahead by calling, and view their entire menu on-line at www.crabcooker.com.

The Crab Cooker has been in Newport Beach since 1951 and was originally named Seafood Varieties. The name was eventually changed because of the crab cookers that were located at the restaurant.

There is now a second location and the address is:

17260 E. 17th St.,
Tustin CA 92680
(714) 573-1077

I have been to the Crab Cooker on many occasions, eating there for lunch, dinner, and also ordering food to go. I highly recommend it, and enjoy some crab when you dine at the Crab Cooker.
