License number: SLP14179. Welcome to this spacious, ground-level home! This bayfront retreat has a great private courtyard that is only steps from where famed Newport Beach Bay meets the sand. It's complete with evening café lighting and a running fountain that allows you to enjoy the sounds of the water even when you are away from the beach. Take advantage of the location just a few steps away from Marina Park! The Pacific Ocean with great surfing and a gorgeous beach is two short blocks away.

The spectacular Newport Harbor Christmas Boat Parade turns directly in front of this home. Most importantly, just relax and recharge in this comfortable shaded seating between your various adventures.
The barbecue grill makes meal-making easy when it needs to be. Nevertheless, the location of this amazing lower retreat is perfectly located to allow you to walk to all of the famous restaurants around the Newport Beach Pier; you can walk to the world-famous Newport Peninsula Boardwalk, walk to surf lessons, or enjoy paddle boarding and kayaking delivered in front of your rental. Walk or bike to many famous Newport Beach attractions like the Fun Zone, The Ferry to Balboa Island, or take the Bike Path to your favorite destination.
This well-appointed condo has a great room featuring a living room area with a large, wall-mounted flatscreen TV and a comfortable sofa seating from which to enjoy it. Sliders to the outside patio let you experience easy inside/outside living. In addition to the courtyard dining table, there is also an inside dining table that seats four next to a beautiful modern kitchen with three stools at the end of a wraparound kitchen counter. It is easy to satisfy your culinary desires here as it has all the high-end appliances and amenities you need to create meals and snacks for everyone. Just add the food and have fun enjoying one another and this lovely vacation spot.

Great location with a family. Easy access to the bay, playground, beach, and nearby restaurants. Lots of chairs, beach toys, and boogie boards to use in the garage!

Great Stay!
Overall, great stay. Very clean and cute place on the floor level of a 2-story house. Walking distance to essentially everything. Will definitely stay here again!
great place to stay! Location perfect and clean home! I will come again. Garage is tight I have a Honda pilot you cannot go bigger and have some tight parking skills.
Condo was updated and very clean and in a great location…steps from the bay and a 5 minute walk to the beach. Beds were comfy. It’s a pretty small space and was a little tight for our family of 4. But the courtyard was nice, quiet, and extended the living space. Loved having a garage. Plenty of space for 2 mid-size SUVs to park.
Overall, the stay was good. The location was great. The home is very modern and cute. It fit the 5 of us very well. Plenty of space. The garage was a bit too small to fit our Toyota truck. So parking wasn’t the greatest for us. We parked across the street and it was limited to 6 hr parking ($22 for 6 hrs-not too bad). I didn’t rate it a 5 since the shower curtains and throw pillows could use a wash.Additionally, you can hear the renters upstairs. It was also a bit difficult to enter the home. The instructions regarding the unlocking and locking of the doors could be better explained, it took us a good 10 minutes to get in when we first got there. Enjoyed our stay overall.

You will NOT sleep well in this lower unit!
The door and stairs to the upper unit are on the opposite side of the headboard in the master bedroom. You hear every step in BOTH of the bedrooms since the upper unit's living room is directly above. Location is great, garage parking is a bonus and the house is well decorated. However, I would not stay in this unit again due to our complete lack of sleep over 7 nights.We called the police multiple times over the corse of our stay when parties above us went until 3am most nights. Management did nothing for us. We actually ended up cutting the trip short to go home and catch up on sleep before heading back to work.
Property was beautifully decorated and updated, would stay here again. Could throw a rock into the bay that’s how close you are, ocean short 2min walk to sand. Thanks again for hosting us!
Great location, upstairs unit it quite loud (toilet flushes, walking, etc)

Looks great and great location
We had a bumpy start trying to get access to the property, we were forced to download a different app in order to get the door codes. I would have preferred to have that information texted to me.
The home, and location were great, for a small family.
We were in Newport Beach for a graduation and to see friends. This property was perfect for what we needed. It had a fully stocked kitchen and 2 nice bedrooms and baths. Loved the patio outside. I would stay here again for sure!
Place was very nice and great location, heater didn’t work as thermostat was in error the whole time. Contacted property manager and sent me directions of how to reset supposedly, that didn’t work. WI-FI is not good and bedroom TVs had hard time connecting. Very noisy when someone is in upstairs unit. They left after 2 days so it wasn’t too bad for us when the upstairs tenants left.
The until is exactly as described and very clean and new.
