This three-story beach house in Newport Beach is the perfect family vacation home and features an ocean view! Revel in quality time together, as well as a full kitchen, a furnished deck, and easy beach and bike trail access at the end of the street. And with only two houses between you and the sand and the famous Newport Beach three-mile boardwalk, life doesn't get much better than this!

This ideal location, which some consider to be the best spot after Peninsula Point, is nestled between two piers on a beach that's frequently low on crowds. A playground on the sand is a mere two blocks away, and with beach and bay access so near, outdoor activities abound. Do some canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, jet skiing, bike riding (either cruiser, tandem, or four-seater paddle surrey), skateboarding, surfing, fishing off both piers, or learning to sail. Bring your own equipment or rent from multiple locations on the peninsula or Balboa Fun Zone, which boasts a Ferris wheel, game arcade, restaurants, and jet skiing. Or captain your own electric boat and cruise the bay by renting from Duffy Boats, just a short drive across the bay.

Walk to either pier to explore restaurants and shops and treat yourself to breakfast or ice cream at the end of the Balboa Pier at Ruby's Diner. Book a tour of the bay and go whale watching or take dinner cruises. Take the ferry to Balboa Island and explore Marine Avenue with its delightful restaurants and unique shops. During the summer months, if you do not wish to walk along the boardwalk, please take the Balboa Trolley, which cruises from Hoag Hospital to the Balboa Village. Your stop will be directly in front of your vacation home. It couldn't be more convenient! Also, remember that Disneyland, California Adventure, Angel Stadium, and Honda Civic Center are all a reasonable drive away.

This home has a light, bright, airy interior full of sea breezes enhanced by specially designed windows. Lounge comfortably after exciting days out and about by watching your favorite streaming services (courtesy of the high-speed internet) on the new large smart TV with Roku. Two communal living spaces are available. One is on the first floor and includes the kitchen, den/bedroom, family room, and dining room. The second is the entire third floor, which has a living room, dining area, built-in wine cooler, half bath, and furnished deck.

The fully equipped kitchen includes a microwave, toaster, coffee maker, blender, electric hot water kettle, oven, gas stove top, and dishwasher, as well as enough cookware to prepare a holiday feast. The first floor accommodates 10 for dining, while the third floor accommodates nine. There is an outdoor shower to wash away the sand after your afternoon on the beach, and other amenities include a private washer and dryer and free WiFi. Enjoy the perfect beach life in your home away from home.

We’ll be back!
Our family of 8 absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful house! The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do while in the Newport Beach area and it was the perfect, comfortable “home away from home” for us. We loved the two separate family rooms and the home was stocked with everything we needed, including beach chairs and towels. The house was clean and charming. We highly recommend it and we plan to come back and stay again!

Excellent location and lovely space
This house has old Newport charm but the updates you need! I was pleasantly surprised how well stocked the kitchen was with cooking utensils and everything you need for meal making. Literally a one minute walk to the sand and close to everything. Only thing to know would be that you can hear all the car traffic as it is located on the Main Street but the bedrooms are further back and it didn’t affect our sleep at all. Would definitely stay again!

Beach trip
the location was awesome, the house was nice. The weather was excellent. Everything was great! However, I would recommend checking the dishes that are taken from the cupboard, many of them were not clean

Charming home in a great location
We were very happy with our stay at Twin Dolphin. It’s conveniently located and the owners provide ample additional towels and chairs for use at the beach. The property was clean and the kitchen well equipped. The property management company used by the owners (Vacasa) was not responsive for a simple request — early check-in. We could see that there weren’t any guests staying the prior day and we were hoping to check in 2 hours early. We made 2 phone calls and sent 3 emails. We finally got a reply that said “we will get back with you”. They never did. But, we would definitely stay here again.
