About this property

1/2 Block to Bay - 1 Block to Ocean - Walk to Piers

Modernized Beach Guest House with Fully Equipped Kitchen, Living Room, 2 Bedrooms. Living Room has Futon that sleeps 2, Master has King Bed, Second Bedroom has 2 Twin Beds (can convert to King) Bathroom has tub/shower combination and plentiful storage. Courtyard is enclosed and catches Bay and Ocean breezes. Free Wireless Internet and Cable TV. Close to it all - beaches, boating, dining, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, entertainment, surfing., basketball and kids play areas.

We take pride in the cleanliness of the home. Sanitizing and disinfectant products are used during the cleaning process. Linens are professionally cleaned and pillows, comforter inserts, and mattress pads are cleaned using a sanitizing wash and sanitizing dry cycle. I have removed some of the decorative items that are not easily cleaned so the home may seem a bit plainer than you viewed on this site. I hope that this gives you an added peace of mind during your stay.

Beautiful place!

Second time our family of five have stayed here. Right in between the bay and the ocean. Perfect location and the two bedroom home is very classy modern chic with an air conditioner in the main bedroom that flows into the living room. Spotlessly clean. Washer dryer. Owners very responsive.

Girl’s Trip

Amazing low stress trip. The communication and booking process with the owner was so easy. You had your own access and keyless entry. The place is in a great location….. so close to the beach you can walk in 5 minutes. The Laguna Crest Winery tasting in a must to visit. Go there on Tuesdays and the owner is there with 80s rock and roll music. Don’t miss out on such a great place to stay in Newport. Thanks

Newport stay

House was very nice. Owners were easy to communicate with. Neighbors had remodeling going on which started at 7:30 in the morning during the week which made it hard to sleep in. Overall a very good experience.

Fantastic & Relaxing

This little spot is in the PERFECT location. Close to the actual beach, food & shops, and all roads to either LA proper or San Diego for sightseeing. The space was great for 3 people, and while on the bathroom is small (as anticipated) it was still plenty of room for everyone to relax as needed. Parking was easy to find, being it was a quiet post holiday week, and we all very much enjoyed the quiet neighborhood & great light in the space. Would absolutely stay again!
