★ Easy self-check in. Secure access to the property with coded gated entrance. It opens into a private front patio with keyless access to the garage where you have 1 space for parking.

★ The property is in a quiet residential neighborhood and the street dead ends to the harbor (just 2 houses away) and we are super close to the beach, restaurants and shopping. In front of the house, you have a view of the bay. Just look the other way and you will see the ocean beach down the street. You are in the perfect spot.

★ You may not need a car since everything is close, but we provide one secure space inside the garage parking with an EV fast charge outlet for your electric vehicle. Walking or riding a bike is the best way to get around.

★ There`s a convenience store at the end of the block (open 24 hours) that has everything from wine & beverages to sunblock.

★ This place is new, and was built in 2023 so everything is fresh and modern! There is a maximum of 5 guests which includes infants and children.

★ I have lived in Newport Beach most of my life and it`s like being on vacation 365 days per year! I`ll get you up to speed and all the area offers and make sure your stay is memorable. I also live close to the house and can swing by for anything as needed.

★ As noted, this is a the downstairs unit of a duplex with private entrance and 1 secure parking spot in a shared 2-car garage. This is the only shared space and everything is very private and quiet with separate entrances. If you require more space, consider renting the upper level `Harbor Lookout` which you can view by clicking on my profile.
