About this property

1/2 Block to Bay - 1 Block to Ocean - Walk to Piers

Modernized Beach Guest House with Fully Equipped Kitchen, Living Room, 2 Bedrooms. Living Room has Futon that sleeps 2, Master has King Bed, Second Bedroom has 2 Twin Beds (can convert to King) Bathroom has tub/shower combination and plentiful storage. Courtyard is enclosed and catches Bay and Ocean breezes. Free Wireless Internet and Cable TV. Close to it all - beaches, boating, dining, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, entertainment, surfing., basketball and kids play areas.

We take pride in the cleanliness of the home. Sanitizing and disinfectant products are used during the cleaning process. Linens are professionally cleaned and pillows, comforter inserts, and mattress pads are cleaned using a sanitizing wash and sanitizing dry cycle. I have removed some of the decorative items that are not easily cleaned so the home may seem a bit plainer than you viewed on this site. I hope that this gives you an added peace of mind during your stay.

Newport stay

House was very nice. Owners were easy to communicate with. Neighbors had remodeling going on which started at 7:30 in the morning during the week which made it hard to sleep in. Overall a very good experience.

Fantastic & Relaxing

This little spot is in the PERFECT location. Close to the actual beach, food & shops, and all roads to either LA proper or San Diego for sightseeing. The space was great for 3 people, and while on the bathroom is small (as anticipated) it was still plenty of room for everyone to relax as needed. Parking was easy to find, being it was a quiet post holiday week, and we all very much enjoyed the quiet neighborhood & great light in the space. Would absolutely stay again!

So fun!

This house is very close to a beautiful beach that is excellent for young children. You can also go to the beach across the street and play in the waves. This was a great option when you have Younger and older children. We took the trolley to fun zone!!! Went parasailing for my daughter’s 13th birthday!! What a great trip!

Perfect getaway and stunning house

We stayed here over Memorial Day for our son's High School Graduation. Price was very affordable. House was so beautiful and perfect for what we needed. The host Cindi was so nice and accommodating. She was very quick to respond when I had questions. The beach was a 1/2 a block away. We had the best time and absolutely loved the property! Definitely will come stay again! Thank you Cindi!

Fantastic!

We had such a wonderful stay at this property. The location is beyond words (both the beach proximity as well as neighborhood), the condo was clean and comfortable, and we all slept soundly in comfortable beds. We wanted a relaxing beach vacation that also had proximity to Disney as we went there for a day and this area provided the best of both worlds. We would absolutely stay again!

Perfect Newport Beach House

This little beach house is perfectly located, cute, and clean. It had everything we needed to make an easy stay. The beds are super comfortable. Checking in and out couldn’t have been simpler. Street parking in March wasn’t a problem. We hope to book it again sometime!
