We LOVED this stay! The house was cute and clean. The hosts were so very friendly and available if we needed them but not on top of us. They had all kinds of fun activities available (boat, paddleboards, bikes, etc) and the location was perfectly in the middle of the channel and beach, close to restaurants and shopping but in a quiet neighborhood. We would definitely return!

Home Again

I grew up 15 miles from Newport Beach. The location is outstanding from a local perspective. 36-52 street is where locals go to the beach. It’s not as touristy and if you need food or a bathroom- head “home.” We enjoyed taking the Duffy Boat over to Balboa and grabbing a balboa bar. Judy has everything you need to hang out at the beach- towels and chais. The bikes were great for exploring. We didn’t paddle board in the harbor but there were many others enjoying it! We felt at home and appreciated the great location and welcoming hosts!

Wonderful Spot

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Judy was so kind and genuinely welcoming. After check in, we had total privacy and used the Duffy Boat and bikes multiple times per day. The location is great. We will definitely be back.

About the host

Hosted by Judi Benson

Host profile image
I am a Southwest Airlines flight attendant and have been able to travel the world and meet so many great people. My husband Nuel is a boat guy and fishing and talking is his specialty. He has just renovated his 33 ft, trawler and would love you to see it or go on a boat ride with him. We have been married for ever and love it here in beautiful Newport Beach on the bay.Love to watch the gondolas and swimmers go right by the patio. I hope to meet you soon and hear about your lives and families and travels. Judi and Nuel Benson

Why they chose this property

The bay in our back yard is as good as it gets anywhere in the world. We walk to restaurants, movies, and of course on the sand to watch the sunset. Our property is newly decorated in a vacation beach theme and I am certain you will love it. Have fun here and make some lasting memories.We have 2 bicycles.2 paddle boards 2 boogie boards. beach chairs, a basketball and a ride in our boat for our guests and maybe even their friends. Have fun in the sun right here in beautiful Newport Beach California. The duffy boat and patio and all the toys are for your use only while you are here. The boat is really quite easy to drive and fun too.

What makes this property unique

Grill on the patio while watching the swimmers, boaters and paddle boarders go by and then of course join them in the fun. You may even see a gondola or two go by.
