About this property
Winter Special! Steps to Sand. Parking/ Bikes! Message for Free Night Deal!
3 bedroom 2 bath home just 100 steps from the sand near Lifeguard Tower 51, this home offers two reserved parking spots, private furnished patio with BBQ and fire pit, plus bikes, beach chairs, umbrellas, and sand toys for the perfect getaway. So easy to relax on the sand and ran back home for lunch or snack refills and potty breaks! We are close enough to walk or ride to the pier for food or shopping, but far enough that you dont get the traffic and crowds around the public parking areas! Happy to answer any questions or share some of our families favorite things to do when we are there!
Why You’ll Love It:
Prime Location – Walk or bike the scenic boardwalk to Newport Pier (1 mile) for coffee, dining, and shopping.
Reserved Parking – Two dedicated spots, a rare find in Newport Beach.
Private Outdoor Living – Furnished patio with charcoal BBQ and fire pit.
Beach Gear Included – Bikes, chairs, umbrellas, and sand toys for the perfect beach day.
Inside:
Master Bedroom – Queen bed, private en-suite bath
Bedroom 2 – Queen bed
Bedroom 3 – Full-over-full bunk bed (ideal for kids or extra guests)
Second Full Bath – Convenient hallway access
Open-Concept Living Space – Comfy sofa, dining table, and flat-screen TVs in every bedroom and the living room
Nearby Fun: Walk to Newport Pier, bike to Balboa Fun Zone, or explore Marina Park’s bayfront playground. Spend the day surfing, whale watching, or browsing local boutiques. Our location is ideal for easy day trips or exploring the local area, but many people just want to spend their days on the beach and dont even get back in the car until its time to go home.
We tried to give our home a beachy chic vibe. It is a great location at a great price and we are so happy that so many families return every year to make those special memories just like we have with our children!

Fantastic location and very clean. We appreciated that beach toys, boogie and chairs were included. Stephanie was quick to respond to messages. Would definitely book again!
Great location and property was very nice and accommodating. Host Stephanie was very responsive overall all a great trip and experience. I would recommend it and will use again.
The location can't be beat! Property is as described and all three of us were delighted. We enjoyed the easy access to the beach and highly recommend this property. The communication was excellent!
Our family was in town for holiday gathering and this home was just right for us. It was very comfortable and close to the beach. The hosts were responsive and easy to work with.
Place was perfect for our family of six, sooooooo close to the ocean! We were mainly there for DL (25 min), and this was a great jumping off point. But we could have easily enjoyed a week just hanging locally at the beach, pier, etc! On a rainy week, very glad for the washer and dryer, which got a workout!

We loved how close this place is to the beach - just a quick walk! The beach amenities were such a nice touch, and the back patio was perfect for relaxing after a day in the sun. It’s also an easy walk to shops and the grocery store, which made everything super convenient.Bring coffee pods (or ground coffee) and earplugs if you’re sensitive - the neighborhood is lively and the houses are close together, so you’ll hear the everyday sounds of people and beach life.We’d definitely stay here again!
The property is in a great location and is comfortably furnished. Unfortunately, it is on the ground floor and two nights we were awakened about 4-4:30am by what sounded like someone walking around in clogs and moving furniture. Where they cleaning between renters? That should definitely be improved.
Loved the location and the ease of accessing the property. The two parking spaces were so helpful. Property was very clean and comfortable. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for quick access to the beach and a very comfortable place to stay.
This was our 4th trip to the “Neptune” house. And it was wonderful as always. Clean, spacious and steps to the beach. It would have been nice to have screen doors on the backyard slider and front door.
Great location. Very clean, had plenty of kitchen items to cook with. Laundry facilities worked well. Only issue was not being aware there was no ac and it could get stuffy if fans and doors not left open and on.
We had a great time at this location! We appreciated that bikes, beach toys, chairs and umbrellas were provided. Beach house was comfortable and clean. Great trip!
We've stayed at this home before and would do so again without hesitation. The location is absolutely perfect for getting to the beach with little kids in the family and the house is very accommodating.

Thanks so much for the great review! So glad your family is enjoying making memories at our place!
What a great location! The cottage was comfortable, great location and a 5 Star beach just a few steps away. We were so busy with a wedding reception we want to come again and just enjoy the beach. Thank you!
Very comfortable house so very close to the beach. Great neighborhood. We will come back for sure!

About the host

My family and I love to travel. We enjoy seeing new places, although we also tend to revisit favorites. All four of us are fish and could spend all day in the sun and water. Unfortunately, school and work like to get in the way!
Why they chose this property
After going on vacation in Newport Beach we were all hooked. We knew this was some place we wanted to visit every summer with the kids and eventually the grandkids. When we found this property it felt like a perfect fit. We like that it is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood and we can go back and forth from the house to the beach easily. Our walks to the pier together every morning to look for shells and pick up a coffee (and the uninterrupted talks that go with that) are priceless to me.
What makes this property unique
It is so awesome to be able to park the car and get out and exercise. During our beach week we take long walks on the beach, ride bikes, swim, paddle board and kayak. For us it is less than an hour away from our home but feels like a world away without all of the everyday distractions. It is so great being near 50th. You miss the traffic and crowds that come with being closer to the pier and the parking lots. This downstairs unit stays hidden from the street and sun and feels very quiet and private. It also tends to stay pretty cool in the summer heat. We love it!!
