About this property

Only a few houses from the sand! Sleeps 5....or 8

This vacation home is located in one of the best areas of Newport beach. The downstairs unit, or Captain's Quarter's, is a 2bed/1bath pirate themed home. The downstairs unit was once featured on HGTV as the pirate house of Newport Beach! Although the unit has been toned down a bit since its TV days…..once a pirate, always a pirate! There is a queen bed in the master bedroom with room for a pack-n-play. The second bedroom has a twin over full bunk bed with a twin trundle. Living room has a 65” smart TV with local cable, HBO and Wi-Fi. Second bedroom has 32” TV with DVD player.

The newly remodeled upstairs unit, First Mates Quarters, is accessible by an outdoor staircase and is a 1bed/1bath. The unit has its own kitchen and living space and can be rented in addition to the downstairs unit to allow for a two family stay. This allows for a bit a privacy between you and your guests. The bedroom has a queen bed with room for a pack-n-play. Living room couch folds out to a full bed. Living room has 40” Smart TV with local cable, HBO and Wi-Fi.

There is a gas BBQ and outdoor seating, outdoor shower with hot water, beach cart and sand toys. End your day relaxing at the outdoor fire pit or make smores in it. The garage (one car) has non-coin operated laundry and an additional toilet.

Bikes can be borrowed for an additional deposit.

Linens, towels and a few beach towels provided.

“Always be yourself. Unless you can be a pirate. Then always be a pirate.”

Another successful stay at the Pirate House

I believe this is the 4th time we’ve stayed here. The location and convenience keep my family coming back. Very responsive hosts. Trying to find a house in Newport with AC is almost impossible. Combine that with the convenience of tankless water heaters, air compressor for bike tires, a full shower outside to wash the beach off, a bbq grill outside…and you’ve got a successful location for the family! We’ll be back next year!

Wonderful spot!

Bigger in person. Great place for families. So helpful having the upstairs apartment. Only feedback is to update the queen beds, sheets and towels.

Pirate house success

This is our 2nd time staying here as a family. Already booked our 3rd. The layout works well for our family of 8. Outside shower is good to have. AC is a great benefit. It’s the little things they do that makes the house great…great garage, air compressor, fireplace outside, tankless water heaters, good kitchen with everything you need. Fast, fast responsiveness from the host.

Comfortable house in a perfect location

We had a wonderful stay at the Pirate House - two parents, a 6 year old, a 3.5 year old, and a grandma. Communication was quick and easy with the hosts. Check-in was a breeze. The house is exactly as described. Better than described, actually. They were depleted in some essential supplies (e.g. sponges, toilet paper, laundry detergent), but there are 2+ supermarkets nearby. We wanted to buy food anyway! And the kitchen appliances are modern and easy to use. We didn’t use the grill or the outdoor fireplace, but they looked nice. The house was clean with fresh linens and plenty of towels. There’s a huge smart tv in the comfortable living room. There are board games for different ages, though no toys for our aged kids (we brought some). The beds are comfortable. There’s a bunk bed trundle combo in one room that could fit 4 kids or three adults. The bathroom has a big tub which was fun for the kids and relaxing for the adults (we couldn’t get the jets to work but it was still great) and a separate shower with strong water pressure. The outdoor shower was awesome when we returned, sandy from the beach. The AC worked well and was lifesaver since it was 85+ everyday. The washer/dryer are big and new and worked well. The house is even more conveniently located than I expected. It’s a very short, safe (no major roads) walk to the beach and right next to a lifeguard stand. We went every morning at least. The garage is spacious and not having to navigate street parking is very convenient. It’s less than 5 minutes from PCH (hwy 1) and Newport Blvd (Hwy 55) which makes getting around very easy and quick. We went to other beaches, south Orange County, San Diego, and LAX. It’s very easy to get food delivered (we used ubereats a lot). Oh I almost forgot the upstairs cottage where grandma stayed. It’s larger than expected. Would be very comfortable for a couple and you could have someone over for a meal bc the living room is spacious. It didn’t seem to be recently renovated like the downstairs. The tv wasn’t as nice and we had trouble turning it on (worked once but not again?) and the air conditioning window unit was very loud and didn’t cool that well on the hotter days. We didn’t use the kitchen or spend much time up there bc the downstairs was our “main house”, so I can’t comment on all the amenities. But you could definitely use it as an extra bedroom like we did, or a separate apartment. All in all we loved the house and had a great trip! Ahoy!

About the host

Hosted by Crystal Bell

Hello. My name is Crystal. We purchased the "Pirate House" in 2012 because our family loves the beach. We enjoying sharing our piece of paradise with other families that love the beach as much as we do. We do visit the beach often and prefer to take care of the home ourselves rather then have a rental agency do it.
