About the host
Hosted by Ron
I've lived in Newport Beach most of my life and enjoy surfing and paddle boarding. It's like being on vacation 365 days per year! I live in the upper unit of this duplex and am available whenever you need something. I can get you up to speed and all that the area offers and make sure your stay is memorable. There is so much to do here.
Why they chose this property
Centrally located with both beach and bay right here, we completed a 1-year renovation at the end of 2022, so it's fresh and new with all the latest comforts and features. Great for couples looking for a romantic getaway, families with kids/pet, or a relaxing refuge for a business trip. If you come in mid-December, you can watch the Newport Beach Christmas right here.
What makes this property unique
The private outdoor patio really adds to the experience. We have air conditioning for the hot summer months and offer secure garage parking with fast EV charging, but you won't need to drive much since everything is close. We are less than 15 minutes from the Orange County/John Wayne (SNA) airport and just 12 miles to Disneyland.
