Sept/Oct. Special! Steps to Sand. Parking/ Bikes! Message for Free Night Deal!

☀ Last chance for summer! 3 bedroom 2 bath home just 100 steps from the sand near Lifeguard Tower 51, this home offers two reserved parking spots, private furnished patio with BBQ and fire pit, plus bikes, beach chairs, umbrellas, and sand toys for the perfect getaway. So easy to relax on the sand and ran back home for lunch or snack refills and potty breaks! We are close enough to walk or ride to the pier for food or shopping, but far enough that you dont get the traffic and crowds around the public parking areas! Happy to answer any questions or share some of our families favorite things to do when we are there!


Why You’ll Love It:

Prime Location – Walk or bike the scenic boardwalk to Newport Pier (1 mile) for coffee, dining, and shopping.

Reserved Parking – Two dedicated spots, a rare find in Newport Beach.

Private Outdoor Living – Furnished patio with charcoal BBQ and fire pit.

Beach Gear Included – Bikes, chairs, umbrellas, and sand toys for the perfect beach day.

Inside:

Master Bedroom – Queen bed, private en-suite bath

Bedroom 2 – Queen bed

Bedroom 3 – Full-over-full bunk bed (ideal for kids or extra guests)

Second Full Bath – Convenient hallway access

Open-Concept Living Space – Comfy sofa, dining table, and flat-screen TVs in every bedroom and the living room

Fully Equipped Kitchen – Coffee maker (pot & Keurig), toaster, microwave, cookware, and dishes

Washer & Dryer – Located in garage for guest use

Nearby Fun:
Walk to Newport Pier, bike to Balboa Fun Zone, or explore Marina Park’s bayfront playground. Spend the day surfing, whale watching, or browsing local boutiques. Our location is ideal for easy day trips or exploring the local area, but many people just want to spend their days on the beach and dont even get back in the car until its time to go home.

We tried to give our home a beachy chic vibe. It is a great location at a great price and we are so happy that so many families return every year to make those special memories just like we have with our children!

If it’s a quiet 5 star hotel you’re looking for keep looking. But if you want a casual, fun, relaxing beach stay this is for you! A vintage Newport duplex with all its quirks and fun vibe.the properties are all in close proximity; the weekend energy is palatable. The property is well equipped In every way; Bikes, beach chairs, kitchen tools, BBQ, on site parking and a comfortable cross breeze when the front door and slider are open. It’s located on the north end of the peninsula (my preference) which has much less traffic and congestion but easy access to the pier, Fun Zone, PCH and great restaurants. The location is just steps to the sand with lifeguard stations. The back patio is a plus! We were a family of five adults in town for a UCI graduation and enjoyed our four night stay. I would not hesitate to book again.

Cozy beach house

Was a perfect cozy beach house. Close to Newport and Hunnington beaches, close enough to drive to Disney as well. The only downfall is yiu can hear the folks upstairs, other than that the place was perfect for our family. The kids used the bikes and ejoyed riding everywhere.

Great Location

This location was perfect for us. Quick minute walk to the beach, lots of shopping and food options nearby. The neighborhood was quiet and the beach was almost empty besides Saturday. Not overcrowded. The house was a good size and we loved the outdoor patio. Easy Parking for two cars including our SUV.

Newport Beach in November

Great place and location. The only negative, which the owner clearly warned us about is being able to hear the upstairs renters - Really well... Music, footsteps and chairs were super loud even without my hearing aids :) So, if the renters are into staying up until 4:00am like ours did on Friday then you might as well go join them because getting sleep is not going to be much of an option.

Perfect family beach home

We really enjoyed our stay at the beach. Each year I rent a beach home for a few days to take the grandkids to the beach and visit a theme park. Stephanie’s home has been our favorite. The location was a 2 minute walk to the sand. We also enjoyed the fully stocked cabinets with all the essentials of home. Duel shower heads with great water pressure was a added bonus as well. The bikes and beach toys in the garage was huge. The kids enjoyed building sand castles and burying each other. We look forward to renting here again. Thank you for taking the time to anticipate the needs of your renters. It made our trip extra special.

Cozy house close to the beach.

This is an older home that has a small patio with a table and chairs and a wood fire pit. The living area has wood floors with a large L shaped sectional and a picnic style dining table. It’s not well lit. The 3 bedrooms are carpeted. We were 4 adults and were comfortable in the apartment. We stayed in December, and the heat worked well. The bathrooms both have walk in showers. The vanities have some counter space for toiletries or makeup. The kitchen is galley style with granite countertops. The oven vent did not work and the sink faucet was wobbly. The landlord offered to send a plumber, but we weren’t using the kitchen except to cook eggs. The unit was very quiet until tenants arrived in the unit above us. We could hear them walking above us and hear their toilets flushing. There were bikes to use and a washer and dryer in the garage.

15 years of rentals and we found our favorite...

Our family has rented beach houses in Newport Beach for the last 15 years. This was our third year in a row staying at this beach house and we are on the calendar for next year already. That should tell you enough! Stephanie is an excellent property owner that continually updates her property for the benefit of her tenants. This year we found a new outdoor grill and AC in the upstairs living area! The bikes, extra beach chairs and other beach amenities mean we do not have to lug everything from home. Lastly, finding a property with six parking places in Newport Beach is not possible. It is with this property! What a relief not having to hunt for a parking spot each time you move your car. We gladly deal with the smaller bedrooms to have this nice feature. We rent out the entire home and the upstairs kitchen and living area is big enough for everyone during breakfast and dinners making the place very livable. Thanks Stephanie!

Great location, nice place

The home was a bit dated but comfortable and had everything you need. It is in a great location, just steps to the beach (120 steps to be exact, lol). There were a few minor inconveniences, the light in the dining room didn't work. And several of the outlets wouldnt work but we managed. Would absolutely stay here agsi !

Great Location!

Location was conveniently close to the beach . . . a short 100 yard walk. We were able to experience the ocean without having to drive and park. The three bedrooms were adequately furnished and the beds were comfortable.The host was extremely accommodating and replied to messages quickly. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Annual "Nana" trip with grandsons

This was our first trip to Newport. Condo location is fabulous with the added bonus of off-street parking. Stephanie was extremely responsive and helpful with a few inquiries we had. Beach was close enough to spend the day and run back to condo for breaks often. Kitchen is well equipped. Everything is as described. We hope to make this our new annual destination.

Perfect location in Newport!

Loved our stay in Newport Beach! The house is only one house back from the beach, and a short bike ride to the Newport Beach boardwalk. Absolutely perfect location for our California vacation! Super awesome to have garage and driveway parking, which is a hot commodity in the Newport area. House had several bikes, beach chairs, a couple boogey boards, wagon and beach umbrella. Nice to have a washer and dryer too. The house had all the pots, pans, and eating utensils necessary to cook and eat at home. No spices or things for cooking, though, which was fine, since we didn't plan on cooking any major meals. Price was right, and the homeowner was very responsive and a pleasure to work with. Thanks so much!

Great location, lots to do.

We enjoyed our stay. Mere steps to the beach to lay out or just sit and have a tea. Close to Newport and Balboa with tons of places to eat, drink, and play games. We even took the ferry for a few bucks. There was a fire pit in the back that came in real handy. Place was clean and well equipped with everything you need. There were bikes and beach toys to use whenever we wanted. Host responded to all our questions promptly at all times (not too late).

We had a blast !

I book a space every year for my birthday so that all my kids and my grandkids can get together and enjoy the beach. I usually book in San Diego area. This year was a little different due to the fact that my daughter had a couple of things she had to do on Saturday, needless to say I wasn’t very excited about staying so close to home. But …I must say this was one of the best stays we had together. The location was perfect. We were able to walk back-and-forth from the ocean to the house throughout the day and night. The place was pretty clean. It had enough room for all of us plus visitors that would pop up here and there. We were able to barbecue and hang out in the back patio every night. There was some reviews that stated that the upstairs unit created a lot of noise, but honestly, it wasn’t too bad. We would hear footsteps every now and then but that’s about it. The only thing I have to say is the kitchen wasn’t supplied with simple items like salt and pepper but next time I book I’ll know bring my own salt and pepper lol I have nothing negative to say this was an amazing place !! We will book again !

Perfect for Family

We would stay here again. The unit had everything we needed for a longer stay. Quiet neighborhood even though neighbors are very close. Everything was very clean at check-in. The two minute walk to the beach was the best feature. Very close to a few takeout food options. It was so nice that the local beach in August wasn’t too crowded. A bit warm for sleeping in August but the fans in the bedrooms helped. The kids loved the large bunk beds and their own TV. Laundry in the garage was a plus!
