About this property

Huge open family room. 100 steps to the sand. Easy reserved parking!

Upstairs 3 bedroom/ 2 bath condo with a large open concept kitchen/family room and vaulted ceilings. (We also manage lower condo unit, message me for listing link for larger groups traveling together) Unit has a front balcony patio with a gas BBQ and seating. Master with queen and en suite, 2nd bedroom with queen, 3rd with full over full bunk bed. Kitchen ready to use with dishes, pots and pans etc.. It has a Keurig, and coffee pot as well as a Crockpot. Washer/dryer sand toys, chairs, and umbrellas in the garage, 4 bikes available. 2 car reserved parking. (one in garage, one in driveway) Parking is hard to come by, so this is awesome! Drive way is large enough for vans and SUVs. Great central Newport location. Easy bike ride to Balboa or Huntington Beach. About a mile walk (takes us about 30 mins along the water at a leisurely pace) to the Newport Pier for restaurants and shopping. Only about 100 steps from the front door to the sand. The beach out front is much less crowded than those closer to the pier and public day use parking lots. We have really tried to make this place feel like home. Our annual beach trip has created priceless family memories. We are nuzzled in a quiet and safe family neighborhood. We have several families that stay at our place every year and have made it a part of their tradition as well. We are not a large property management company, just a family doing our best to keep our home updated and comfortable to make it a great place for your family to call home base during your time at the beach. We are happy to help with your vacation in any way we can! We love sharing our favorite restaurant or day trip ideas!

Stay in January

The property was as described for the most part. No AC though and had to relight the hot water tank for hot water. Close to the beach, neighborhood quiet for the most part.

Not sure I would stay again

The location of the property was fantastic and it was great having two parking spaces. Wouldn't come back though until a few repairs were made. The mirrored closet doors had cracks across them. The outside patio furniture was completely rusted and it was flaking off. The tile was broken and lifted on the front balcony. All of these are safety concerns. With a little care it could be a fantastic property.

Broken items

Being a block of the beach was wonderful. The house was very nice. Items Didn’t work correctly. The microwave is broken. The heater is broken and it was a very cold weekend. The front door lock needs to be changed as it is very difficult to turn the key and lock open and closed

Awesome property, neighbors were a bit loud

We loved the property and location. Everything in the listing is absolutely correct and we would happily recommend to friends and come back. The only thing we had to complain about is the next door neighbors were fairly loud and up past 2am both nights. With the closeness and windows being open it was very annoying and hard to sleep well. Still a 5/5 property that being said.

Great beach house

We have stayed at this beach house for multiple years and it never disappoints. Stephanie is a great host; responsive, accommodating and so easy to work with. The home is in a great location, the beds are comfortable and the amenities are an added bonus. It feels like a home away from home!

family trip

The beach house was perfect for what we needed it for. The proximity to the beach was exactly what we wanted. It was so helpful to have the beach toys/chairs etc to use. I will say the place could use some tlc (patio chairs rusting etc) but overall everything was functioning and exactly what we needed.

Great location

The location is perfect proximity to the beach. It has a nice deep driveway and plenty of beach chairs and toys and bikes. The indoor furnishings all need to be updated. The beds are old and uncomfortable and the couch is very unsightly and stained. There were only two beach towels for a three bedroom house. A little bit could go a long way for this charming house.

About the host

Hosted by stephanie larson

Host profile image
We are a family of 4 that loves to travel. All of us love outdoor activities especially in the water. We love Newport beach and all that it has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We love to go to Newport and hang out at the beach. We wanted some place we could visit every summer and build family memories. It was important to find some place that was in a great location and we could count on being clean and well maintained. I think we found it!!

What makes this property unique

We love this location! We are able to ride all the way to the Wedge at the tip of Balboa in one direction or ride to Huntington beach if we go the other direction. Being away from the pier, parking lot and boardwalk gives us a little more peace and quiet and privacy. Being near 51st keeps us from getting caught up in the traffic that goes along with being further down the peninsula. When we walked into the main room with the high ceilings we knew this was the place. The whole family can hang out together with out feeling squished!
