With the beach in one direction and Newport Harbor in the other, guests can easily move between wide sandy beaches, bayfront recreation, local restaurants and shops, and other classic coastal attractions.

Stroll the boardwalk between the piers, enjoy a surf session, or head toward the harbor side of the peninsula for boat rentals, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing excursions, whale-watching tours, and trips to Catalina Island. Leave the car behind and explore local favorites such as Marina Park, the waterfront Lighthouse Café, the historic Dory Fleet Fish Market, Balboa Village, the Balboa Fun Zone, and the Balboa Island Ferry, all within easy walking or biking distance.

For additional shopping and dining, Lido Marina Village and Fashion Island are just a short drive away, offering everything from harborfront restaurants and local boutiques to luxury retailers and upscale dining.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Checkin was easy. Location is great! Quiet neighborhood and bay across the street. Like others said - the house is a bit dated. Carpet in a beach house (dog friendly house) is weird but we brought dog gates and blocked off carpeted areas to be safe. Downstairs shower is dated and made for short people. However the main bedroom upstairs is fabulous with a balcony and the downstairs sitting room with view of the bay is beautiful! Kitchen dated but well stocked and usable. I’d recommend this place for a 3BR!

A Dream of a Stay

Thank you for the wonderful stay. The property is very clean and the location is impeccable. That view of the harbor makes this place an incredible value. The vibe of the interior is very charming, like a true mid-century modern beach house. My guests and I loved it!!!
