About this property

Amazing Beach House! Great Roof Deck. 1 block from beach-A/C-Garage Parking

The back unit of a duplex, this property was built in 2016. We started offering it as a vacation rental in the summer of 2018. Park your car in the garage (a huge plus since street parking is so hard to find!) and walk to the beautiful beach, bars, restaurants, grocery store and shopping!

This beach property is ideal for two couples or a small family. There are two bedrooms with King sized beds and by using an airbed in the common area, we can have a maximum of 5 guests. Although kids are welcome, please be aware that there are stairs and no baby gates installed and we haven't child-proofed this house at all.

Pristine and air conditioned, this 2 bedroom/2 bath 1220 sq ft beach house has a gorgeous kitchen with quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances including a gas range, microwave, refrigerator with filtered water and an ice maker and a KitchenAid dishwasher. The kitchen island serves as the dining table and accommodates up to 4 people.

The comfortable living room has an expansive sectional sofa, 55” tv (wifi, cable, apple tv) and cozy gas fireplace.

The larger of the two bedrooms and a full bathroom are on the first floor. The master bedroom, which is a bit smaller, and attached master bath are on the second floor. The master bath has double sinks, a beautifully tiled shower, separate room for the commode and a walk-in closet.

The private roof deck is a fantastic spot offering peek-a-boo ocean views, two fire pits, a comfy sectional sofa and chaise lounge chairs. It’s a great place for soaking up the sun or having a cocktail in the evening.

We also have a one bedroom/one bathroom listing for the front unit in the duplex- it’s a bright and sunny 700 sq ft apartment with a compact, yet complete kitchen, great little bathroom, bedroom with Cal King bed and also tons of built-in storage and a large private deck with BBQ. If you need that extra bedroom, or would prefer the additional privacy that an air mattress in the living room can’t afford, you may want to inquire with us about booking both places. Take a look at #4881700.

General Info:

Garage Parking: You will have use of the right side of the garage and may park 1 car. Although the garage is longer than most, it is narrow (only 18' wide) as many are in Newport Beach. Since you are sharing the garage with the guests of the other unit, please be very careful not to ding the other car next to yours. There is an arched garage door so large SUVs and pick-ups will not fit. For example, a Suburban, Escalade or a Tahoe are all too tall and too wide. Please do not try to make your car fit if you have one of these types of vehicles. They are not allowed in the garage. If your vehicle is a pick-up or a super large SUV, you will need to find on-street parking-that is not negotiable. If in doubt whether your vehicle is allowed in the garage, please contact me and I can let you know.

Beds: First floor bedroom has a Cal King bed. Second floor bedroom has an Eastern King bed. Twin airbed and Pack n Play available upon request.

Linens: Linens, blankets, pillows, bath towels, kitchen towels and beach towels are all provided.

Kitchen/Supplies: The kitchen is super well supplied with dishes, cookware, silverware, blender, toaster oven, slow cooker, a Keurig and lots of spices. We will supply some paper products to get your vacation started, however you may need to supplement or replenish the paper supplies during your stay. Also, bring your favorite K-cups for the Keurig! We will have some K-cups on hand for you but, if you’re a coffee lover, you’ll want to have more!

BBQ: Located just outside the kitchen door. BBQ tools are in the drawer below the oven.

Extra Stuff: To help make your vacation extra special, bicycles, boogie boards, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, beach wagons, ice chest, corn hole boards, bocci balls and a surfboard are all available for your enjoyment. If the other unit has guests staying while you are there, the "extra stuff" will be available on a first come, first served basis. All amenities, "extra stuff", is for the use of authorized guests only. Visitors are not allowed to make use of anything provided in the garage.

Laundry: A full size, stackable washer/dryer is located in the unit on the second floor. Laundry detergent and Bounce sheets are provided.

Cell Phone Note: the cell coverage in this unit is sketchy, especially if you have Verizon. I actually switched to AT&T because of the lack of coverage here. You'll likely need to go outside or on the roof deck to make/receive calls if you have Verizon. One easy work-around is to hook up to our wifi while in the house and text/call over that. But I want to be sure all are aware of that possible concern.

Perfect Family Spot
We stayed here with our two young boys and it was the perfect spot for our family to stay for a week. Very short walk to the beach and to restaurants. Garage was stocked with lots of beach toys and wagons to make beach trips much easier. Rooftop area was a great place to rest at the end of the day. We’d stay again if/when we come back.

beachside bliss
Pam's place was wonderful. It was the best stocked home I have stayed in and "the shack" wine and other snacks were so thoughtful. The location is so close to the beach, and the roof deck was wonderful. We walked to all the restaurants and having a grocery store also just around the corner was handy. Beds were comfy and the large sectional was great for seating. I would stay here again in a minute.

Always a fabulous stay
This was our third time staying at Pam & Jimmy’s place. We always have a great time and love how well stocked it is. The cleanliness and quality of linens and kitchen items, truly adds to a vacation. The bike’s and beach equipment are top quality and we used them all. Thanks for another great time! See you in the fall!

Perfect home
Pam and Jimmy’s home was comfortable, close to the beach and walkable to boardwalk, shops and restaurants. Well stocked with so many things you might need and more, in terms of kitchen condiments and pots pans dishes, linens, bathroom supplies, extra toothbrushes, soap. Was just like home, only better!. Everything was in perfect working order, plus a garage for parking and shareables; 6-7 bicycles, beach chairs , boogie boards, wagons umbrellas and beach toys. Roof top deck was great with 2 fire pits, cafe lights and comfortable seating. The fireplace in the living room was wonderful as well. Beds and pillows were comfortable, nice linens and towels. We were very happy and felt fortunate to be staying in this well appointed comfortable home. A booklet describing things to do, places to eat, how things in the house worked and how to prepare before leaving was specific and so helpful. Communication was instant, Pam checked in by text to see if we were good during our stay, fast responses before and after booking. This home is in the top 3 of our many VRBO rentals. The cookies, wine and personalized greeting left for our arrival was so appreciated. Thank you Pam and Jimmy.

Why they chose this property

In 2000, we had rented a place for a year on 34th Street while our home was being built in North Tustin. My husband, who always loved the beach, fell further in love with this area and the idea of someday owning a vacation home on the peninsula. We thought it would be amazing to be able to stay down here on weekends and offer a great vacation spot to our friends and family.

We finally had the opportunity to purchase something in Newport Beach at the end of 2011 and were excited when this property came on the market. There were two units on the property at that time, both of them very "shack-like" and the back shack was by far the grungiest. But we had a vision for what could be done with the place! We kept everything as it was for a few years and then did a humongous remodel in 2016 which included knocking down the back shack completely and building a completely new, from the ground up, home. We also stripped the front shack down to the studs and built that from scratch with all new electrical, plumbing, insulation, windows, flooring, appliances……the works!! We and our friends and family continue to fondly refer to our place as "The Shack" and "The Back Shack". They are two of the most gorgeous "shacks" you will ever see! Until now, we've used the property solely as a weekend place for ourselves and friends and family. We still plan to stay as often as possible in either shack when they are available. We hope you enjoy staying in our home as much as we do!!!
