About this property

LUXURY Oceanfront BRAND NEW Designer Home!! Grand Opening Memorial Day 2025!

Life's BEST Memories await you at The Happy Place NB!!!

Enjoy this custom built, oceanfront home while soaking up the sun and surf in this BRAND NEW designer home complete with every bell and whistle imaginable!! Located directly on the sand in a prime location of Newport Beach!!

This four bedroom, four bath 3,600 sq ft home with the best rooftop in Newport is located just three blocks from The Newport Beach Pier where you will find many of Newports' best restaurants, local beach hang-outs and seafood market. Full rooftop kitchen, dining, a swing that can fit the whole family and a jacuzzi!!! Fleetwood doors on both the first floor patio along with the primary bedroom that completely disappear allowing the beach to literally feel like it is yours alone!! This home is second to NONE on the Balboa Peninsula oceanfront! You have to sample for yourself to fully embrace the style, luxury and comfort this home captivates.

Perfect location to watch the surfers catching waves on Blackies Beach...or better yet, catch some yourself as this hot spot is known to be some of the best surfing in the world! This home is also located a block from the beautiful bay where you can easily access boats for charter, enjoy paddle boarding or take a passenger boat out for deep sea fishing, whale watching or a sunset cruise. The Balboa Fun Zone is also an easy bike ride away. There, you will find a boardwalk lined with carnival rides, restaurants and shops as well as the Balboa Island Ferry, offering a five minute ride across to Balboa Island where you'll wanna allow enough time time to stroll the pristine streets lined with gorgeous homes, boutiques and more of Newports' many great restaurants. If your agenda calls for never leaving the home, your view will include the sand and ocean and people watching from your one of your three patios or while soaking in your rooftop spa!! Remember to make time to catch the incredible nightly sunsets. Endless fun and relaxation await you at this brand new to VRBO beach paradise!! **Includes two parking spots in the garage and high speed WIFI. Home comfortably accommodates 10 people. Would be the perfect home for multiple families to share.

**Please note that the the reviews you will see are from our previous beach cottage that was built in 1929 and torn down in Nov 2023 and replaced with this 'Big Sister'. So when you see ppl refer to the cute well stocked beach house, these are from our old adorable home. This one is 5x more AMAZING but with the same attention to detail and attentive host that will provide you all the beast area recommendations to assure you the very best time while you are staying as our guest.

Also have a local masseuse, yacht charters available, private chef, party planner and house keeping upon request. Also, my kids are the best babysitters!! (**all include additional fees)

Paradise at the Beach Staying at the Happy Place

We enjoyed our stay at the Happy Place in Newport Beach. We were right across the walkway to the sand and had many days, simply enjoying the view. Our family and friends took turns visiting during the week, so we felt like the Happy Place really worked for us and the Host Amy was very attentive. Thanks for a great visit.

Great beach vacation

We had a great stay with our three elementary school aged kids. The location is wonderful - walkable to the pier, donuts, coffee shop, etc. The owners were incredibly responsive and very thoughtful - the house is stocked with all sorts of beach toys, boogie boards, paddle boards, towels and so much more. Highly recommend for a fun time at the beach!

The area was great - right on the beach, great view and fun to watch people and dogs on the boardwalk. We went in January, so got a pretty significant winter storm, but also got some great weather and enjoyed the area. House is well equipped

Perfect trip!

Our stay was absolutely wonderful at Amy's Happy Place! She was hands down the best host I've dealt with on VRBO. The place was extremely clean and comfortable (beds were great which is rare for rentals). You can't beat the location either. I'll be back!

Thanksgiving Getaway

My family and I needed a simple getaway to our favorite beach. This stay was like, walking into what could be, our second home. Convenient, and cozy. Communication was more than I could ask for to ensure we had what was needed. We will be coming back here without question. Highly recommended.

Wow!

We had such a wonderful time at this beach house!!! It is beautifully decorated and comfortable, perfectly located on the beach and boardwalk, and it is walking distance to Balboa Park for touristy attractions and Lido Marina for fine dining and shopping. There are so many activities to enjoy...some of our favorites were parasailing, stand up paddleboarding, and enjoying the restaurants. The owners were excellent hosts and available to answer any questions we had. We hope to visit again!

No sun but still had fun!

I can see why this is called The Happy Place! We had the best stay, close to Disneyland (less than 30 min) unreal beach views, and close parks for the kids. The weather didn’t cooperate but that didn’t stop us from having a great time. We are already discussing when we will go back, there is so much to do! Host was great at communicating and there were so many extras included: beach chairs, beach toys and games, paddle boards to name a few. Thanks for a great week and we will return!

Amazing Location wonderful beach-front home

A picture showing that the back room is a room that sleeps six TOGETHER would have been clearer as on-line pictures appear as though there were three bedrooms but in reality there are two bedrooms. House had everything we needed plus bikes and spectacular location and view! Touch-uppaint on all doors, closets would help aesthetics. Hosts were excellent communicators! Perfect location! We had an amazing time for sure. Would definitely return!

Great location!

Cute, cozy home right on the beach! Tons to do in the area. Amy was super responsive and kind! Beds are very comfortable! Back bedroom was warm at night because there is no air conditioner and fans only helped a bit. Master bedroom was great because of mobile air conditioner. Was an exceptionally hot few days so normally wouldn’t be a problem, I’m sure! Kitchen was well stocked and living area was adorable and clean!

“Doesn’t get better than this”

“Our happy place” A darling beach front property, clean, well decorated, all you need for a comfortable stay. The location is phenomenal, safe, walking distance to shopping, and dining. Enjoy walks on the beach, bike rides or simply taking in the breathtaking sunsets. Overall vibe couldn’t be better. The neighbors were all pleasant and friendly. The home owners were a joy to deal with. Don’t miss out! My daughter and I will definitely be going back! 💕🌅 🏠 file:///var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments/40/00/1D0FF2DD-DAF6-4BD6-B186-591829A2A78F/40A89F92-6ABD-4226-8BFF-1512F2B9952C.heic

Our Happy Place is spot on!

What a magical 2 days spent ON the beach! The place is bigger than it appears on the pictures and it has everything you could possibly need. It really felt like we were staying with friends. The kitchen was fully stocked, including condiments, which was so nice to have. Having two bathrooms was also super convenient with having 6 people trying to get ready, and they were fully stocked as well. Then there were all the toys. We didn't have a chance to use the bikes and SUPs but they were available if we wanted. We chose to go for walks and boogie board instead. It was nice to have plenty of towels and everything was right there! This was truly a perfect place to come and disconnect. People watching was great fun and it was so close to so many great places. Thanks for hosting us!

About the host

Hosted by Amy Kamps

Host profile image
This oceanfront home is the result of a dream and a goal my husband made years ago--to have a home on the sand before he reached the B-I-G 50! Well this event happened on October, 11th of 2020 and celebrating this monumental birthday in our new beach home was the icing on the cake!! We have made SO many incredible memories in this home in the short 6 weeks that we have owned it and are now ready to invite others in to do the same! ... Okay, that all was my original post in 2020, now let's fast forward 5 years of the original posting and we now have a VERY BIG SISTER to our original home we purchased. Our original 1929 beach cottage has been replaced and it's hard to imagine what has replaced her was even possible!! We still have a few small details to finish but in a very short time, this beauty is going to be available for guests to come stay on the oceanfront in top-notch style and make some of the best memories of this lives...

Why they chose this property

This property is sure to cause you a deep exhale of all the planning and packing that went into getting you to this incredible spot the moment you enter! With breathtaking ocean views from several rooms throughout the home, this home is a reminder of what life is truly about...making memories from sun up to sun down! The play awaits you at The Happy Place in Newport Beach!

What makes this property unique

Located directly on the sand with endless activity and entertainment just steps away! Bikes are ready for your use in the garage. The bay is located just across the street and kayaks, surf boards and paddle boards are rentable within a .2 mile walk. Some of the best surfing in the world is located directly in front of the house at tower 18. Restaurants abound within walking distance from our property. You honestly have to experience this property for yourself to know how amazing it truly is!
