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.

Good location

Clean, good location. For people who like to walk, easy walk to Balboa, the ocean, Newport pier. Convenient to John Wayne alrport. Took a ferry from Balboa to Catalina Island. There is a garage but too small to be useable.

Great beach house, nothing fancy but comfortable. They could have better bathroom towel and toilet paper. It would be nice to have Kleenex too. The kitchen is fully stocked with all needed items. This was our 3rd year at this house!

Best 4th of July

This was the 4th year we've stayed at the house. The location is fabulous! Love the little beach across the street. You can park your car and never move it....just walk every where! There are 3 things that would make the stay perfect, better toilet paper and paper towels and a few boxes of Kleenex! I know it sounds silly but it would be nice. The fireworks display was the best!!! Can't wait to come again!

Great Location

We loved staying here and are already looking to book it again for a mom's trip. Yes, the carpets need to be cleaned and the bathrooms are a little small (as is most of the houses in this location), it's a VRBO. Overall it was everything we needed to have a great vacation for 3-adults and 1-teen. People stayed above of, and you can hear them walking around, but two different parties came and both were super respectful and it didn't bother us a bit. Such an amazing view from the patio. We took extra supplies like toilet paper, paper towels, etc, and didn't need them, there was enough. I highly recommend it!

Beautiful Location

My husband and I loved our stay at this property with our two school-aged children. The location cannot be beat. I could send my kids to play in the bay beach in front of the house and see them from the window. You’re not going to be able to use the garage to park but we never had trouble finding street parking. We enjoyed using the beach cruisers, even though they were a bit aged. We had a wonderful vacation. If I had one criticism of the apartment it would be the thin walls (we had some college-aged spring breakers staying adjacent to us) and thin, scratchy towels and blankets. If you run cold at night, I advise bringing extra blankets. Other than that, we had no complaints!

This is a great rental if they didn’t lie about the property being a whole house. This is a share floor space. Both floors are rentals and have thin walls. This is not great for those wanting to get shut eye. The maintenance needs updating as the door gets jammed and that adds up to being annoying. This just wasn’t above par as there are some more places better in the area. Will not be coming again.

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!

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.

Returning for fifth time

Great place to stay. Basically very quiet area which is nice. Owner maintains property. Only one problem which was that the screens were broken or didn't fit window. Made my own adjustment so that I could open windows. It's nice to have fresh breeze coming in.

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!

Fantastic Location, Minor Property Issue

My family and I had a great time during our stay and the property location was fantastic! It's steps from a quiet harbor beach and 2 blocks from the ocean. The listing states there's a kayak, which was one reason that drew us to this property, but there wasn't one. We rented kayaks a few blocks away. The property was a little dated, but adorable. We had trouble unlocking the door when we arrived, but the management company was responsive. Unfortunately, the previous guests left dirty dishes in the dishwasher, which created an unpleasant odor throughout the property. It was also obvious the sheets in the master bedroom hadn't been changed. I contacted the management company and they apologized, stating that isn't the standard they expect from the cleaning company and they would speak with them about it. I ended up washing the sheets myself and we dealt with the smell by keeping the door open. Despite theses issues, we enjoyed our stay and absolutely loved the location.

Great location!

Great stay right near beach and lovely view of harbor boats. Easy parking in December, clean and dog friendly. On checkin went to wrong one, as door around side, but worked out fine. Only cons are downstairs unit has thin walls so you can hear people walking above you. Also, for the price, they could upgrade some items. Dishes are old, cups cracked. Bedding, washer/dryer, bikes nd furniture outdated. A small investment could make this better. Generally, great stay!
