About this property
My Newport Place - Steps to Beach
It will only take about 30 seconds to walk to the sand from our unit. It is also centrally located near Vons, a liqueur store, several nice restaurants and fast food. A Subway, a donut shop and a coffee shop are at the end of the street. Our kitchen and garage are very well stocked. You will have much more in this kitchen than in the average rental, similar to your kitchen at home. In the garage we have bikes, boogie boards, unbrellas, beach chairs, children's toys and more.
Our place has a nice patio in front for dining or just having your morning coffee with a view of the ocean. The unit is equipped with high speed wifi, has a barbeque, updated kitchen, flooring and bathrooms. We have a smart TV in the living room capable of viewing TV shows, sports, news as well as Netflix, prime, etc. There are two queen beds and one set of twins plus the sofa turns into a queen bed. The master bedroom is very private up a flight of stairs with its own bathroom and TV. You will also have your own washer and dryer inside the unit with detergent provided.
Your unit is not shared with anyone. The 4 car garage is shared with the upstairs unit. You will have the left side as you go into the garage from the alley to park up to two cars tandem.
You will be provided a phone number of someone to contact in case you have any problems with the unit. You are also welcome to contact us with any questions you have about your stay in Newport Beach. We are the original owners of this building for the past 30 years, so we have a lot of experience with the area.
Our neighborhood is one short block from the boardwalk to Balboa Blvd. Most of the homes on this street are full-time residents with just a few rentals, so it is relatively quiet compared to some other areas known for parties. Location is great since it is so close to the bay, the beach, the Newport Pier, restaurants, grocery stores, drug store, etc. It is really not necessary to drive anywhere for basic needs. We usually walk or ride our bikes to restaurants and other establishments.
Walking and biking are the main ways we get around as it is an easy walk to most stores, restaurants, the pier area, the beach and the bay. Biking is fun as you can ride on the boardwalk for almost the length of the peninsula making it a safe ride away from cars. That being said people do like to drive to Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach and Disneyland which is an easy drive and scenic for the beach cities. The fun Zone and Balboa Island Ferry is a longer walk for small children, so a car is appropriate sometimes for that area.
There will be written instructions and general information available to read in the unit. Look for a yellow folder on the table by the wall in the living room. Besides information about the unit, you will also have some recommendations for restaurants and places to visit for other interests. The city of Newport Beach has a rule for community noise control. This is due to the fact that we have a lot of visitors on the peninsula and the islands, and homes can be quite close to each other. So occupants must be very respectful of their neighbors. There should be no noise to be heard from neighbors from the hours of 10 pm to 7 am the next morning and during the day the noise level should not be disturbing or more than 45 DBA. If this rule is broken by any occupants, they could be subject to a $500 fine.

Thank you for your complements on our place. My wife is the decorator and keeps the kitchen well stocked, and makes sure the maids keep our high standards on cleanliness, so she gets the credit on that. Thanks again for choosing our place to stay - you are welcome back any time.

everything was great the home had everything that we needed for a pleasant weekday and all things needed for the beach. It was a little rowdy around the street because it was spring break but the house was wonderful

Thank you for your kind words about our place. Spring Break was pretty busy this year and because the schools have different times it lasts a longer time than in the past.
What a cute beach house. Literally about 100 steps to the sand. We loved it. So relaxing! Condo was immaculately clean and matched listing accurately. Was convenient to restaurants and grocery. We will definitely be back!Thank you!

We had a great time at this property - it is in an excellent location, walking distance to everything and the owners do a great job making sure you have everything that you need for a great stay.
We had a wonderful time at this beach house in October! The location was perfect - a short walk to the beach with beautiful ocean views. The house was spotless, well equipped and comfortable. October weather was ideal - sunny and warm without the summer crowds. Check in was a breeze. We enjoyed morning walks, local coffee shops and restaurants, a Sunday morning Farmers' Market, bike rides and incredible sunsets! Highly recommend this property for a relaxing beach getaway.

About the host
Hosted by Joan and Joe Tallman
My husband and I grew up in Southern California and always dreamed of owning a place in Newport Beach. After spending several years working overseas in Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines we returned to fulfill that dream. In 1990 we bought a brand new duplex in Newport and it has become a favorite place for our family and friends to stay.
Why they chose this property
Our place is a 20 minute drive from John Wayne airport, 30 minutes from Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm. It is also within walking distance to the Newport and Balboa Piers as well as great restaurants, shops, and grocery stores, not to mention only 7 houses from the beach. One of our favorite things to do in the afternoon is to walk down the boardwalk and get a frozen banana.
What makes this property unique
Another favorite past time is to sip our morning coffee on the patio while watching the pods of dolphins and Catalina Island in the distance. The gentle waves made it ideal for swimming, surfing or body surfing.
