Just Closed: 1203 Bayside Drive, Corona Del Mar — $4,305,000
What just sold on Bayside Drive in Corona Del Mar? The Aaronson Group closed 1203 Bayside Drive, a fully remodeled bayfront condo in the Mai Kai community, for $4,305,000 in Corona Del Mar 92625.
Bayfront opportunities on Bayside Drive don’t come around often, and when they do, they move quickly. We’re proud to announce the successful close of 1203 Bayside Drive, a beautifully remodeled three-bedroom, three-bath end unit in the gated Mai Kai community, where every window frames an unobstructed view of Newport Harbor.
Here is how we helped out clients: We spent months finding the perfect location on the water and walk to restaurants, shopping, etc. And despite multiple other offers and navigating challenging financing, we closed escrow-today!
This closing reflects exactly what we love about coastal Orange County luxury: irreplaceable waterfront positioning, a fully reimagined interior, and a community walkable to Balboa Island. For our client, it represents a rare front-row seat to one of the most coveted stretches of Newport Harbor.

Why 1203 Bayside Drive Stood Out
Mai Kai is one of the most quietly coveted addresses in Corona Del Mar. The community sits directly on Newport Harbor, with a privately gated entrance and a tight grouping of bayfront residences that rarely come to market. When a unit on the harbor side does become available, it commands premium attention.
Unobstructed Harbor Views.
Every primary living space frames the water through a wall of windows. Sunrise, sunset, and the holiday boat parade all happen from the comfort of the living room or the private covered terrace.
Fully Remodeled Interior.
The home was taken down to the studs and rebuilt with a chef’s kitchen featuring a gas Viking cooktop, built-in fridge and freezer, walk-in pantry, and a center island. Two ensuite bedrooms, a primary suite with walk-in closet, and a dedicated home office and library round out the floorplan.
Walkable Coastal Lifestyle.
Walking distance to Balboa Island’s shops and restaurants, and a short drive to Fashion Island and Pelican Hill Golf. This is coastal Orange County at its most connected.

What This Closing Says About the Corona Del Mar Market
Bayfront property in Corona Del Mar continues to perform at the top of the coastal Orange County luxury market. Inventory in the $4M to $5M range remains tight, and well-positioned waterfront residences with finished interiors are commanding strong attention from qualified buyers.
For sellers considering a coastal listing in Newport Beach, Corona Del Mar, or surrounding communities, this closing reinforces a clear pattern: turnkey condition, irreplaceable views, and proper positioning continue to drive premium results.
