★ Easy self-check in. Secure access to the property with coded gated entrance. It opens into a private front patio with keyless access to the garage where you have 1 space for parking.

★ The property is in a quiet residential neighborhood and the street dead ends to the harbor (just 2 houses away) and we are super close to the beach, restaurants and shopping. In front of the house, you have a view of the bay. Just look the other way and you will see the ocean beach down the street. You are in the perfect spot.

★ You may not need a car since everything is close, but we provide one secure space inside the garage parking with an EV fast charge outlet for your electric vehicle. Walking or riding a bike is the best way to get around.

★ There`s a convenience store at the end of the block (open 24 hours) that has everything from wine & beverages to sunblock.

★ This place is new, and was built in 2023 so everything is fresh and modern! There is a maximum of 5 guests which includes infants and children.

★ I have lived in Newport Beach most of my life and it`s like being on vacation 365 days per year! I`ll get you up to speed and all the area offers and make sure your stay is memorable. I also live close to the house and can swing by for anything as needed.

★ As noted, this is a the downstairs unit of a duplex with private entrance and 1 secure parking spot in a shared 2-car garage. This is the only shared space and everything is very private and quiet with separate entrances. If you require more space, consider renting the upper level `Harbor Lookout` which you can view by clicking on my profile.

Late February/Early March Stay

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Newport Beach property. The apartment was newly updated and conveniently located to many restaurants and the beach. It was safe and secure- nice to have an indoor parking space to secure vehicle. We will be recommending this location to friends and family.

This was our first time staying in Newport Beach, the property was exactly what we were hoping for. Ron was awesome to work with, he was able to answer any questions we had when we first arrived and felt he went out of his way to make our stay great. The property is a couple minutes walk from the beach and entertainment. It has all the amenities that you would need on a vacation, would definitely stay here again!!!

The property was very well presented with updated finishes, furnishings and amenities. The location is great with easy access to the harbor and ocean beaches. The technology was a little challenging at first but after awhile it was manageable. The host Ron was easy to reach by phone or text. All and all a great place to vacation and relax.

Fantastic Beach house!

Everything was new, tasteful and well thought out in this recently renovated home. Provisioned with everything you could need. Our host Ron was very responsive and invested in ensuring our stay was comfortable and safe. My daughter and two young adult granddaughters and I created some wonderful memories. If you stay here and like Italian food Mama Do’s is a must go. And walk just a few blocks to enjoy Newport Beach Pier at sunset. Our only regret is we couldn’t stay longer.

Great location near Newport Pier

Very clean , modern, cookware enough to prepare simple meals, lots of towels including beach towels, plenty of toilet paper & paper towels & napkins..also hand soap & shampoo, etc was there. Salt pepper, cooking oil was there& enough plates & silverware…dishwasher was a little finicky but usually did the job. Very nice to have a shared garage & private patio. It was a little tricky having dogs with us as we had to walk blocks away for them to “do their business” as there is no grass or dirt close by…

Perfect Newport stay

Our family had a perfect stay at this property. We could not find fault or suggest any improvements - we genuinely loved it that much. It is in the perfect area for exploring Newport - just across the road from the pier, restaurants and bars. The unit is immaculately clean and beautifully presented. The beds are new, comfortable and the bedrooms are so quiet - the whole family slept soundly all night. The area and unit are safe and there is excellent security. Ron is a very generous host that helped with any questions we had about the area. I would highly recommend this property - the photographs and description are refreshingly accurate. We now have many happy family memories of staying at this property.

Relaxing beach stay!

The property was so cute and very clean. There was a lot of attention to detail to make it cozy. We loved how close it was to the beach/restaurants. We absolutely loved the outside patio area where our 4 year old loved to take her toys and play. Ron was very pleasant to communicate with and made our stay enjoyable! Only things to note in case it matters to you: there is another property above you so you can hear the other tenants sometimes, you share the garage, and you share the washer/dryer. This didn’t deter us and Ron made sure we were as comfortable as possible.

About the host

Hosted by Ron

Host profile image
I've lived in Newport Beach most of my life and enjoy surfing and paddle boarding. It's like being on vacation 365 days per year! I live in the upper unit of this duplex and am available whenever you need something. I can get you up to speed and all that the area offers and make sure your stay is memorable. There is so much to do here.

Why they chose this property

Centrally located with both beach and bay right here, we completed a 1-year renovation at the end of 2022, so it's fresh and new with all the latest comforts and features. Great for couples looking for a romantic getaway, families with kids/pet, or a relaxing refuge for a business trip. If you come in mid-December, you can watch the Newport Beach Christmas right here.

What makes this property unique

The private outdoor patio really adds to the experience. We have air conditioning for the hot summer months and offer secure garage parking with fast EV charging, but you won't need to drive much since everything is close. We are less than 15 minutes from the Orange County/John Wayne (SNA) airport and just 12 miles to Disneyland.
