About this property

2-min to Sand, Pier & Dining · Luxe 2BR · Rare A/C, Fire Pit, & Garage Parking

Steps to the sand, pier, sailing harbor, shops, and cafes—on a quiet street where the evening still feels like vacation. Surf Casita is a 2023 custom build: rare A/C, secure garage parking with EV charging, and two private outdoor spaces. Sip wine in the courtyard as the sun melts into the ocean, then relax by the fire pit. A Vrbo `Loved by Guests` home—their top 10% in Newport Beach—with amazing guest reviews behind it. A no-car-needed escape designed for laid-back luxury.

Highlights:
✓ Rare A/C
✓ Fire pit
✓ Garage + EV⚡
✓ King bed
✓ Luxe fit & finish
✓ Warm outdoor shower
✓ 85` TV + music + Fast Wi-Fi

A popular rare find — dates go fast.

The Retreat
Surf Casita is a luxury 2BR ground-floor duplex, custom built in 2023 and finished like a designer model home: high-end fixtures, curated decor, and the fit and finish of a ground-up build, not a converted rental. Rare A/C, fast Wi-Fi, secure garage parking, and a Level 2 EV charger. Enjoy two fully private outdoor spaces, easy beach access, and the perfect mix of Newport energy and quiet coastal comfort.

Goldilocks Zone — beach close, but quiet
This is the location locals choose: steps from everything, removed from the crowds. A short 2–3 minute walk covers the sand, Newport Pier, the oceanfront boardwalk, Mom`s Beach for calm bay swimming and paddle boarding, Marina Park, bike and surf rentals, waterfront dining and cafés (Crab Cooker, Lighthouse Café, Shorebird, and more), ice cream, and the Sunday farmers market. Every coastal activity is walkable — surf, sail, paddle, bike — then retreat to a quiet street where the evening actually feels like vacation. Park once. No car needed.

Sleeping Arrangements
Comfortable sleeping for five across two bedrooms plus a living room sleeper.

🛏️ The Flagship Room
King bed · Premium mattress · Brooklinen percale sheets · Private patio with fire pit · 55` Smart TV · A/C · Walk-in closet

🛏️ The Surf Room
Two full beds · Surf-themed décor · Great for kids or friends · 55` Smart TV · A/C · Walk-in closet

🛏️ Living Room
Queen sleeper sofa · A proper bed for adults, not an afterthought · 85` Smart TV · A/C

The Bath
The spa bathroom serves both bedrooms equally and exceptionally. Warm, high-end lighting, designer fixtures, and custom-home finishes carry the quality through. The bathtub makes post-beach cleanup with kids easy, a full set of bath essentials is stocked, and plush Turkish towels complete the experience.

Outdoor Living
Two outdoor spaces, both entirely yours. Out front, a gated courtyard with a BBQ, dining for six, and a warm outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach. Out back, a patio where the fire pit and the amber glow of cafe lights set the scene for sunset wine and slow coastal evenings.

Well-Appointed Casita Kitchen
Designed for real cooking, the kitchen includes a gas range, refrigerator with ice maker, dishwasher, toaster, and rice cooker, plus fully stocked cookware and wine glasses. The coffee bar offers drip and K-Cup makers, plus a French press — coffee included to start the day. Plate today`s catch at the courtyard table for a sunset dinner.

Tech & Comfort
Rare A/C throughout makes Surf Casita a true Newport find. An 85` 4K TV with surround sound and Sonos music make staying in feel like a choice, not a compromise. Smart lighting, ultra-fast Wi-Fi for work-from-beach days, and an in-garage washer/dryer add comfort and convenience.

Garage Parking
Secure garage parking with a Level 2 EV charger. Fits a full-size SUV (no tall roof racks).

Beach Essentials, Handled
Beach chairs, umbrella, towels, surfboards, boogie boards, and a cooler are ready in the garage — grab and go, two minutes to the sand.

Traveling with little ones?
Pack-n-play, high chair, crib, and baby monitor available on request.

Exceptional Value
Compare the Surf Casita to anything nearby: custom 2023 build, designer finishes, carefully curated decor, rare A/C, garage + EV charging, 85` TV, private outdoor spaces, hotel-quality beds (king included), two minutes to sand and pier. Few rentals check every box. Guests rave about the home and the location, call it an amazing value, and plan return trips.

Arrival made easy

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.
