About this property

My Newport Place - Steps to Beach

It will only take about 30 seconds to walk to the sand from our unit. It is also centrally located near Vons, a liqueur store, several nice restaurants and fast food. A Subway, a donut shop and a coffee shop are at the end of the street. Our kitchen and garage are very well stocked. You will have much more in this kitchen than in the average rental, similar to your kitchen at home. In the garage we have bikes, boogie boards, unbrellas, beach chairs, children's toys and more.

Our place has a nice patio in front for dining or just having your morning coffee with a view of the ocean. The unit is equipped with high speed wifi, has a barbeque, updated kitchen, flooring and bathrooms. We have a smart TV in the living room capable of viewing TV shows, sports, news as well as Netflix, prime, etc. There are two queen beds and one set of twins plus the sofa turns into a queen bed. The master bedroom is very private up a flight of stairs with its own bathroom and TV. You will also have your own washer and dryer inside the unit with detergent provided.

Your unit is not shared with anyone. The 4 car garage is shared with the upstairs unit. You will have the left side as you go into the garage from the alley to park up to two cars tandem.

You will be provided a phone number of someone to contact in case you have any problems with the unit. You are also welcome to contact us with any questions you have about your stay in Newport Beach. We are the original owners of this building for the past 30 years, so we have a lot of experience with the area.

Our neighborhood is one short block from the boardwalk to Balboa Blvd. Most of the homes on this street are full-time residents with just a few rentals, so it is relatively quiet compared to some other areas known for parties. Location is great since it is so close to the bay, the beach, the Newport Pier, restaurants, grocery stores, drug store, etc. It is really not necessary to drive anywhere for basic needs. We usually walk or ride our bikes to restaurants and other establishments.

Walking and biking are the main ways we get around as it is an easy walk to most stores, restaurants, the pier area, the beach and the bay. Biking is fun as you can ride on the boardwalk for almost the length of the peninsula making it a safe ride away from cars. That being said people do like to drive to Laguna Beach, Huntington Beach and Disneyland which is an easy drive and scenic for the beach cities. The fun Zone and Balboa Island Ferry is a longer walk for small children, so a car is appropriate sometimes for that area.

There will be written instructions and general information available to read in the unit. Look for a yellow folder on the table by the wall in the living room. Besides information about the unit, you will also have some recommendations for restaurants and places to visit for other interests.
The city of Newport Beach has a rule for community noise control. This is due to the fact that we have a lot of visitors on the peninsula and the islands, and homes can be quite close to each other. So occupants must be very respectful of their neighbors. There should be no noise to be heard from neighbors from the hours of 10 pm to 7 am the next morning and during the day the noise level should not be disturbing or more than 45 DBA. If this rule is broken by any occupants, they could be subject to a $500 fine.

Beautiful beach home!!

The beach house stay was wonderful! We had everything we needed available to use such as beach towels and toys, trash bags, shampoo and conditioner, and ziplock bags.

Steps to the beach!

Great location - this part of Newport has a real cottagey feel to it and is interesting to explore. About a 15 min walk to Lido village which is super cute and has recent eating options for a nice dinner. Good communication with host - they seem to care about the property and I'm sure will continue to improve it. Great for families looking for a beach escape.

Perfect Place for our Family

This beach rental was the perfect place for our family to be together and relax and recharge. It's not in a too busy place but literally about 4 houses down to the sand. We liked this place much better than being on the oceanfront where people can look through at night while walking the boardwalk. This place was clean and described perfectly. Easily access to food places, donut shops and coffee places. We would stay here again. The owners communicated pretty well too from the initial booking through our trip. They have everything you need to stay here. Great place! Thanks for letting us create memories here. We hope to be back one day!

We had a wonderful time at this beach house in October! The location was perfect - a short walk to the beach with beautiful ocean views. The house was spotless, well equipped and comfortable. October weather was ideal - sunny and warm without the summer crowds. Check in was a breeze. We enjoyed morning walks, local coffee shops and restaurants, a Sunday morning Farmers' Market, bike rides and incredible sunsets! Highly recommend this property for a relaxing beach getaway.

The heart of Newport Beach

The property was just as advertised, well-furnished, clean, full of amenities including a garage which was a huge plus as on-street parking can be limited. We had everything we needed and wanted, including a washer & dryer. The only detraction was not being able to access the property until later than promised due to late cleaning. We would happily return.

Familial Coastal Cottage

Incredible house, especially for longer stays or with family/larger groups! The upstairs downstairs areas make this house perfect for spreading out groups. The amenities were numerous, with every imaginable kitchen appliance, from spices to bakewear, to the assortment of bikes, boards, and water toys, creating numerous activity options both inside and around the house..House is very clean, has a garage and both host are very helpful with any questions you might have. Right of the beach within walking distance to Lido Penisula

About the host

Hosted by Joan and Joe Tallman

Host profile image
My husband and I grew up in Southern California and always dreamed of owning a place in Newport Beach. After spending several years working overseas in Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines we returned to fulfill that dream. In 1990 we bought a brand new duplex in Newport and it has become a favorite place for our family and friends to stay.

Why they chose this property

Our place is a 20 minute drive from John Wayne airport, 30 minutes from Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm. It is also within walking distance to the Newport and Balboa Piers as well as great restaurants, shops, and grocery stores, not to mention only 7 houses from the beach. One of our favorite things to do in the afternoon is to walk down the boardwalk and get a frozen banana.

What makes this property unique

Another favorite past time is to sip our morning coffee on the patio while watching the pods of dolphins and Catalina Island in the distance. The gentle waves made it ideal for swimming, surfing or body surfing.
