Ideally situated just north of Newport Pier, this lively neighborhood places guests in the heart of the Newport Beach Peninsula, where popular restaurants, local shops, nightlife, and classic coastal attractions are all within easy walking or biking distance.

Spend the morning watching surfers from the sand, biking the miles of oceanfront boardwalk, or wandering toward Newport Pier for dining, sightseeing, and people-watching. Nearby Lido Marina Village and Cannery Village offer waterfront dining, boutique shopping, and harbor views, while parks, cafés, and casual eateries add everyday convenience throughout the neighborhood. The area's wide sandy beaches, consistent surf, and scenic jetties create a quintessential Southern California beach setting enjoyed by surfers, beachgoers, and marine-life enthusiasts alike.

To the south, Newport Harbor and Balboa Village are just a short bike ride or drive away, offering family-friendly attractions and unforgettable waterfront experiences, from the Balboa Fun Zone and historic Balboa Island Ferry to harbor cruises, paddleboard and kayak rentals, Duffy boat excursions, and more.

This beach Cottage was exactly as advertised-clean, comfortable, cozy, convenient access 1 block to beach, and cute. It is walkable to the Newport Neach Pier, and many fantastic restaurants are nearby. The beds and pillows were super comfortable. The on site parking garage is a bit tight, but it worked well especially on the weekend when parking on the street was scarce. On site washer and dryer is convenient as well. We would stay here again and highly recommended this beach bungalow!
Beach access is located right down the street-literally one block away!
