The Bedroom overlooks the cottage courtyard. The space also offers a main living room equipped with an electric fireplace. A fully functioning kitchen with new appliances adjoins the living room.

The lower unit with accommodations for 4 additional guests is also available upon request if you have a larger party and would like to have both.

Relaxing and inviting
We had a great stay. It was super clean and well supplied. Lots of outlets for our electronics. The breeze was amazing and we enjoyed the outside patio. The beds were very comfortable. We did use the heat and fireplace a few times and it kept everything warm and cozy. Close to the water and shopping. We would definitely recommend this wonderful place and hope to return again.

This was perfect for a quick get away when we wanted to be on Balboa. About 1/2 way between shopping and the ferry and only a few houses from the little beaches, it was ideal!

What a surprisingly comfortable stay! The beds were bigger and better than expected and we loved having space to hang and spread out our “stuff” on the many shelves and nightstands. Well equipped kitchen and enjoyed the patio BBQ. The fireplace was a nice touch. Look forward to returning!

Charming Upstairs Cottage
We had a wonderful vacation visiting the Newport Beach area while staying in this lovely, very clean cottage. It was beautifully decorated with a fully stocked modern kitchen and the beds and sofas were comfortable. It was located a short walk from the water, the Christmas lights boat parade, and charming shops and restaurants. A short drive away we experienced stunning beaches. The owner was helpful with suggestions and made the whole check in process smooth and stress free. Thank you for sharing your charming place!
