About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

"Artist's Retreat" Available August! Entire Oceanfront Home

In all of Newport Beach's oceanfront there are only a small number of blocks that are close to the water and not on the busy boardwalk. Every front-facing window in this extraordinary custom home is a framed beach scene, replete with changing waves, tides, sea life and beach life. You're never far from the salty air and the soothing sounds of the surf. This quiet picturesque location is still easily walkable to restaurants and nightlife.
The home sleeps up to 9 guests in 3 bedrooms, including a luxurious master suite, and features 2.5 baths.
As our primary residence, this is no ordinary vacation rental. When we travel, we share our home to provide a top-quality experience for our guests.
Enjoy your morning coffee on the deck as you take in views of porpoises, Catalina Island, and the endless Pacific Ocean. Spend your day soaking up the sun or exploring the famous 54th Street surf spot, known for its competitions and local pros. End your day with spectacular sunsets and fall asleep to the soothing sound of crashing waves.
Our home is in a safe, quiet neighborhood and has been part of our family since 1969. Rebuilt into a high-end custom residence 30 years later, it was newly remodeled in 2023. We provide everything you need for the ultimate beach experience: beach toys, chairs, blankets, and an outdoor space heater. Security is a priority, with Ring cameras at the front door and inside the garage, as well as secure entryways.
We personally manage this property, ensuring impeccable attention to detail for your stay. Check out listing #798630 for reviews of our other home.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bidets. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed. Housekeeping is available on request.

    Dream vacation

    This house was by far the best house I’ve rented in Newport beach. It was directly on the beach, which was lively at times but mostly locals and a really calm vibe. The house was perfect with everything you needed. An amazing view and listening to the waves at night made it heavenly. I would definitely stay here again and recommend highly to anyone. Owners were great as well!

    This home was amazing! I would highly recommend staying at this property. All you need to pack are your clothes and any food for your visit. The owners have thought of every essential for your stay. Beautiful views and close proximity to the sand. Restaurants and boardwalk within walking or biking distance. This home is very warm and welcoming, and the property owners were a pleasure and responsive to any inquiries. We look forwarding to staying here again in the future!

    Had a fantastic time staying here. Weather was perfect and the place was adorable. There were a few issues but the owners addressed them and either fixed them or compensated us for the inconvenience. The views from the living room and master bedroom were amazing. I sat in bed watching the ocean every morning with a cup of coffee. So many fun things to do in Newport Beach. This house allowed us to bring our dog with was priceless. She loved sitting on the patio everyday. I had a broken wrist so could not enjoy the bikes, or some water sports but still had a great time. The house has everything you would need. It is honestly like being in your own home. The owners have thought of everything. I will be back to rent again!!!

    We would like to share our experience on a long stay about this property. When we initially made the inquiry, correspondence from the hosts was friendly and answered all of our concerns. The location of this “Artist’s Retreat” was central to where we wanted to be in Newport Beach. Retail to include restaurants, shopping, gym, bike and walking paths were all in comfortable range. The Taylor’s welcomed us upon arrival and were available when needed. They went above and beyond our expectations. The house is welcoming and spacious with incredible beach access, views and sunsets. We would consider returning as special memories will remain. Thank you, Paul, Halley and our cats.

    PERFECT SETTING for a fun and relaxing beach vacation!

    If you are looking for the perfect location, then you can’t be this home. The location is A+, with the sand and surf right before your eyes from the living room, the kitchen and the main bedroom. We saw dolphins and whales, huge boats and the twinkle of Catalina island. The deck of the bedroom offers an especially nice view of the crashing waves and brave surfers. The neighborhood is quiet and neighbors are friendly. The home is interesting and quirky, with some nice art and sculptures and a truly impressive library of classic books--think the Iliad and the Odyssey, and a biography of Matisse in French. It definitely has the feel of a real home versus a sterile rental. The owners are nice people--earnest and responsive- and seemed to truly care about our experience. Because we use VRBO and AIR B&B a LOT, I think it is important to provide a thorough, honest review of every place we stay. No place is perfect and our visit was not without glitches. Apparently, the former guests with kids and dogs had extended their stay which might not have left enough time between renters. The cleaning staff was there when we arrived. This did not start our stay off on the right foot, but the owner did everything she could to rectify the situation, including sending in a second crew the next day -no charge. She also had some fresh bathmats & new sheets delivered, without our asking which we appreciated. I think if the owners had more time between guests, given how conscientious they were, they would have been able to evaluate the house a bit more closely, including checking to make sure everything worked—lightbulbs, appliances, etc. before new guests arrived. The carpet had stains on it, but the owners have plans to pull that out soon and put in flooring which will be awesome in this home! Favorites: GENEROUS supply of paper goods, well-stocked kitchen, 2 bikes we used every day, SONOS system outside on the deck. Suggestions: Enough time is needed between guests do a thorough check to make sure everything is ready and the place is clean. In summary, the beach access is awesome and the views are stunning. Easy access to the boat rental, grocery, lots of great restaurants, tennis courts etc.! With new flooring to freshen the place up, this place will be perfect next year when we come back! And, new floors would definitely make this a 5 star review.

    Beach getaway with friends and fur babies

    This was by far the best place we have ever rented. I have been renting beach houses for over 40 years and this one was in the perfect location. Views from beach house were unbelievable!!! The place had everything you would ever need, dishes, pots and pans, towels, trash bags, Extension cords, umbrellas, barbecue, chairs etc. Beds were comfortable and listening to the ocean from master retreat was fantastic. I loved reading on the patio while my dogs sat next to me. All the restaurants in the area where so good 😊. We went on boat rides, rented bikes for a week and walked to a lot of other places too. There is so much to do in Newport Beach and the surrounding areas. We did not want to leave. I can’t tell you how great it was to finally go on vacation after this pandemic. I literally loved every minute of my time at this beach house. My friends and husband thought this place was wonderful too. From golfing, to running, to pub crawling we could not have had a better time. Thank you so much to the owners and turnkey vacation rentals. Best experience ever!!
