About this property
Ground-floor beach cottage with a furnished patio, AC, parking, & washer/dryer
What We Love Just a half block from the beach, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage exudes California coastal charm and it offers private garage parking.
Enter the bright and pristine cottage from the large bricked patio through an inviting Dutch door. The living room décor in soft neutral tones flows into the open-concept kitchen with Carrera marble counters and bright white cabinets providing ample storage and counter space for all your cooking needs. The built-in kitchen island seats guests with a white wooden bench to pull up for seating for more, perfect for those family game nights. With two smart TV's, there will be plenty of streaming options at the end of an active day at the beach! The beautiful furnishings provide a relaxing California beach experience with all the functional amenities needed for enjoying your stay in Newport!
The expansive brick patio in front feels like resort living with its classic black and white décor. This includes a large table with an umbrella plus complementary nearby seating featuring two park-style benches and two Adirondack chairs. The large gas grill is ideal for BBQing for the whole crew.
Step outside onto the back patio to find the conveniently located laundry closet with a stacked washer/dryer (shared with unit B) and plenty of room for surfboards, boogie boards, and hooks for hanging towels after a fun day at the beach.
Swim, surf, boogie board, body surf, skim-board, or sunbathe – the beach at 40th Street is perfect for all this and more! Jetties keep the surf manageable for most of the year and shape the waves to make the beach here more family-friendly.
The peninsula's only grocery store and dozens of shops and eateries are all just a short walk away. The new Lido Marina Village boasts high-end shopping and dining within walking distance as well as electric boats, paddleboards, and kayak rentals.
Exploring the peninsula by bicycle or on foot is easy via the boardwalk. The Newport Pier is a short stroll from the property, with dozens of shops and local eateries.
This cottage offers an ideal location for exploring all the area has to offer!

We loved this place. Great location, clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. It would have been nice to have a couple of beach chairs and umbrella on hand, but other than that no complaints.
We had a wonderful time! Cottage was nice and clean and looks just like the photos. Short walk to beach and boardwalk. We highly recommend this property.
We are a family of 3 and this location turned out to be terrific. We had a larger group on 36th on the water and it was super convenient. Adorable, clean and great kitchen and private patio. Loved it. TY!! We'll be back.
Very nice home, location was great . Beach was a short 5 minute walk and very clean . I had no problems with paying the amount agreed upon . I just have some maintenance issues the owner operator needs to address. Patio was dirty with spiderwebs and rusty furniture. If they would just throw away the benches and hosed the patio off prior it would have been fine. Fixtures on master bath sink and kitchen where very loose, when using them it felt like the might fall off. Supply a few games or even playing cards would have been nice, but all in all a great place to spend a weeks vacation.

The house was very nice, clean, newly updated. The patio was a nice place to sit in the evening.
The property was very clean and a great location. It was a spacious Cottage with all the amenities you would need. Parking in the very small garage was an issue because other people parked in the alley which made it super challenging getting in or out of the space.

The beach cottage was lovely—clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. We especially enjoyed having an outdoor space to sit and relax. Although we didn’t use the kitchen beyond the refrigerator and coffee pot, it seemed well-stocked with everything needed for cooking. The location was excellent, just a short walk to the beach, restaurants, shops, and grocery store.

Great stay for our family of 9
Loved the location. Quick walk to the beach. The cottages were very clean and bright and although we know the home isn't new, enough FELT new, that it felt like a nice, cool, crisp rental. We loved renting the two units - and it was nice to have two separate units and two kitchens. And the outdoor patios were great! The homes felt very fresh and not at all rundown or dingy (which many Newport rentals do!). We had a couple of issues and the Vacasa property manager was pretty responsive. Would stay again for sure.
Very happy with this comfortable rental. Very clean, great location. AC units kept the apartment very cool!
Rental car tip: make sure to rent a smallish car. Garage was tight for midsize SUV!
Door codes did not work so was told just to use lockbox key. Codes should have been fixed.
But overall, a very nice rental! Would rent again.

Thank you, Lyn, for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay and found the home comfortable and clean, as well as appreciating the excellent location and effective AC. However, we apologize for the inconvenience with the door codes and will address that promptly to ensure a smoother experience. We're glad to know you'd return, and we look forward to welcoming you back!
Had a great time. The beds and pillows could use an update. Pillows are all very flat and beds are pretty soft. Linens (duvet covers) were mildly stained (probably make up). Just one kitchen towel provided, plenty of beach and shower towels. Furniture is all pretty basic and not comfortable at all. Outdoor furniture is nice, and more comfortable than the inside. The place is kind of beat up inside, but it was a great location and quiet at night. We don’t think it was worth the price we paid. Garage super narrow and difficult to get in, if you rent a car it needs to be a small one. There was a car parking on the opposite side of the alley that made it nearly impossible to get into.
