Steps to Sand! 2 Homes in 1 – Sleeps 17, Outdoor Space, Walk to Shops & Dining
Twice the Sunshine, Steps from the Sand – Welcome to Breezeway Duplex
Gather the whole crew and double the fun at Breezeway Duplex—two vibrant, sun-drenched beach homes under one roof in the heart of Newport Beach. Just moments from the shoreline, this combined rental offers the perfect setup for large families or groups traveling together, with space to spread out while staying effortlessly connected.
Each unit is a fully equipped, coastal-inspired retreat featuring its own open-concept living area, dining space, and full kitchen. Whether you're relaxing on a plush sectional or enjoying meals around a cheery dining table, both homes are designed for comfort, conversation, and connection after a day in the surf and sun.
With a total of 7 bedrooms and multiple flexible sleeping arrangements—including two private primary suites, guest rooms, and fun bunk spaces—everyone in your group can enjoy restful nights and roomy accommodations. Outside, you'll find two private outdoor areas perfect for soaking up the sea breeze, grilling dinner, or kicking back with a drink in hand.
Each unit also includes convenient amenities like laundry, parking, and private entrances, giving your group both the space and independence to fully enjoy your stay. And when you're ready to explore, you're just a quick stroll from the beach, boardwalk, and some of Newport's best shopping and dining.

Great location. Well-appointed kitchen with lots of kid-friendly dishes and utensils. Some beds were very uncomfortable. Could’ve been cleaner (floors weren’t swept well, bathrooms were a little grimy around the edges). We were unhappy with the towels and the host immediately had new towels delivered to us, which was great.
