Cottage by the Beach

Unique 'original' Newport Beach house. Take a trip back in time, and stay in a house built and owned by the same family since 1910.

5th house from the beach on 27th St. 5 minute walk to Newport Pier, Grocery Store, Restaurants, Shopping. 5 min drive to Balboa Fun Zone, Arcades, Boat Rentals, Fishing Charters, Harbor Cruises, Whale Watching Tours, Fashion Island Shopping.

The famous surf beach, "Blackies" is right out front. Many famous surfing spots are close by (Huntington Beach, The Wedge).

One of VERY few houses this close to the beach with a backyard.

Back bedroom is furnished with a full bed and a twin. Front bedroom has a full bed. Both bedrooms have closets. Front sleeping porch has a full bed and a sofa that folds out to a full bed. The living room has a sectional sofa and recliner which we steam-clean regularly.

Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm are just 20 minutes away.

Cutest Cottage Ever!

Such a cute cottage - loved the history of it as presented in the decor. It had ample space for 6 of us, was clean, well-stocked with the necessities, and the location was fabulous! We will definitely stay here again. Thank you for making our stay easy, convenient, and so fun!

Buckeye Bungalow

We had a fantastic time at this sweet cottage. We loved having a cute sandy backyard for when our kids weren't at the beach. Close to the beach, shops, and restaurants.....we had a blast! This place had everything, so well stocked...loved it.

Great little house

This house was perfect for our little family of 4. The house is perfectly located to the beach and we were able to walk to all our favorite spots. The house had everything we needed and the backyard and garage were a great bonus. Would gladly stay here again!!

Close to beach and everything you need

We enjoyed playing freebie and attempting to surf. The home and area was clean and seemed safe. The kids and I appreciated we were not on the main boardwalk, and when you step out of the front door, you can see the beach. I would love to stay there again.

Great place and location.

Seems to be harder to find homes on the beach front that aren’t massive. This was the perfect place. I am used to staying down further from the pier about 42nd street. But I am now sold on being closer to the stores and restaurants. This house had everything we needed. Will be coming back.
