Ideal Mid-Peninsula - 2BR/2BA with Harbor & Beach Views - Monthly & short term

Enjoy the best views of the harbor, beach and boats from your dining, living room and patio. Kayak and Paddle board provided for your use.

This luxury duplex property is uniquely located, offering guests the best views of Newport Harbor and just steps to the ocean. Just outside your door, enjoy the bay front beach and the view as the boats go by.

Professionally managed and maintained by BeachView Realty our local property manager. The home is located on the first floor, it’s nicely decorated with two-bedrooms and two-baths. The living room has a large fireplace with dining room, a brand new kitchen with stainless steel appliance and granite counters. Plus all the essentials you would expect in a vacation rental and a great front patio to enjoy the views. There is also high speed internet and cable.

Our unique location is directly across from a sandy bay beach with views of the beautiful Newport Bay, Lido Island, and the boats of Newport Harbor. It’s also an ideal spot for launching kayaks and paddle boards.

The property is walking distance to the many attractions of the Newport Peninsula. Walk to the Fun Zone and the ferry to Balboa Island, or the many restaurants, piers or rent some bikes and take a ride along the bike path to your favorite location.

The home is nicely decorated and well kept and very clean. This is not your typical beach rental! We use the property as a second home. The bedrooms are beautifully decorated with all new bedding, pillows and comforters. The master bedroom has a King and en-suite bathroom with tub. The 2nd bedroom has 2 twin beds. Both bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds. The front patio is ideal for sitting outside and enjoying the views, having a drink, BBQing and or just relaxing.

Have fun in Newport harbor on the water, as there are boat and kayak rentals nearby. You can also fish, kayak or paddle board from the beach in front of the house.

Great stay, this is our 3rd time staying here. Perfect location! The house needs a new mens bike, the tire was beyond repair. Also the house needs a new paddle board. The fin fell off the one in the garage. Otherwise a great time!

we have stayed in this home for over 10 years, every summer. We love it here. It’s comfortable. It isn’t too fancy but exactly right for a family having fun at the beach each day. everything you need and nothing you don’t. Highly recommend this house and will continue to stay here for as long as humanly possible. Parking can sometimes be challenging, but it’s also a fun game to see how we can move our cars around and save spots for one another throughout the week. Definitely recommend this home for you and your family.

Newport Beach

We were pleased with the property. The location was close to restaurants and entertainment. The only hiccup was the family in the unit above us. The occupants were loud and their children were out of control. They constantly stomped on the floor which was disappointing. Outside of the occupants above the property was nice.

This is a fabulous location and great accommodation.

We have stayed in this property each summer for several years. The beach in front of the property is perfect for young children, with a beautiful view of the bay and also a quick walk over to the ocean and waves for teens.

Our Favorite Newport Stay

We love this home and come back year after year. It’s clean, bright and comfortable. All the basics and none of the pretentiousness that some OC homes have. You will be relaxed and at home. Long walks at night and a quiet beach just across the street. Quiet area of newport, mostly away from crowds and “party” zones in the summer. Highly recommended!

Cute beach house

Cute beach house. Garage is misleading in the listing as it is too small for anything other than a smart car or motorcycle. But otherwise, a very pleasant stay.
