About this property
Great Family Spot w/ AC, Walk to Beach, Parking, Huge Private Patio w/BBQ, Two Private Cottages
Picture a coastal getaway where the sun-kissed charm of Newport Peninsula meets the comfort of home. That's what awaits you at "Twin Tides Retreat". This unique, air-conditioned, twin-cottage setup effortlessly blends vintage allure with modern amenities. Offering a perfect balance between togetherness and solitude, our retreat is just a breezy two-block stroll from the beach. Whether you want to unwind in comfort, enjoy al fresco meals on the patio, or explore local attractions, this family-friendly retreat has got you covered. The brick front patio is inviting, the private courtyard in the middle is a great place to start the day, or swimming, boarding, surfing or sunning on the sand! The unique layout provides a great space for families to enjoy the fun together, but with separate space to relax and un-wind after a day of fun.

NO PETS: Due to family health issues this property is strictly no-pets, including service animals. We respect that service animals are important to owners, however, their presence in this home is a serious health risk.
The rear cottage is commonly called the parent’s (or grandparent’s) escape. One thing that we love about the property is the central patio between the cottages that serves as a private patio!

Enter the front cottage through a Dutch door to the living area. There is comfortable seating to the left and a large TV. The kitchen has stainless appliances and a small built-in eating nook with seating for four. In the front cottage, the first bedroom down the hallway has a double bed and flat panel TV. The second bedroom to the back of the house has a double bed, a wall-mounted flat panel TV and access to the courtyard. The hall bathroom has a shower. The front cottage is equipped with Air Conditioning.
The rear cottage has an updated kitchen with granite countertops and stainless appliances. The hall bathroom has a shower. The living and dining area are in the back with a large brown leather sofa - which converts to a queen bed in the evening – and a high-topped table with seating for two. There is a wall-mounted flat panel TV to keep the kids entertained in the evenings. The rear cottage has Air Conditioning.
The back cottage has one bedroom, upstairs with a queen bed. The bedroom is semi-private; no door at the top of the stairs. The space is open and bright, with a TV, plenty of windows, sky-lights atop the vaulted ceiling and a ceiling fan.
BOTH COTTAGES HAVE AIR CONDITIONING WITH NO ADDITIONAL COSTS.
Our home has two distinct patios for the your family to enjoy. The front patio has dining table with a market umbrella for enjoying sunshine during the summer. The private courtyard between the two cottages has a wood-plank deck and features a patio table with six chairs and an umbrella for shade. The whole family can enjoy meals grilled on the gas BBQ. The outdoor shower is available to rinse away sand before going inside, and the fence has hooks for towels, wetsuits and swim suits.

Locals know the 3-mile-long stretch with the harbor on one side and broad, sandy California beaches on the other as “the Peninsula.” The Balboa Peninsula has two piers with views of the shoreline, surfers, and sunbathers spanning for miles. A walk straight down Main Street brings you to the historic Balboa Pavilion, made famous in the 30s and 40s for being the home of Big Band era legends Count Basie and Benny Goodman.
Explore the Peninsula on two-wheels or by foot via the boardwalk/bike path. The Newport Pier area with shops and local eateries galore is minutes away by bicycle and a 10-15-minute walk. Visit Seaside Donuts, Jane’s Corndogs, Dory Deli. Breakfast at Charlie’s Chili are musts for locals and out-of-towners. Within walking distance at 32nd Street is a Pavilions grocery store. Chihuahua, Palmiyra, and Sancho’s serve up tacos, burritos and more. Gina’s offers pizza and pasta for the whole family. Around the corner on Newport Boulevard there are several restaurants to try. The newly renovated Lido Marina Village with high-end restaurants and boutiques is within walking distance.
Please note that our properties may have electronic devices installed such as electronic locks, front door cameras, or noise monitors.
