About this property

2-min to Sand, Pier & Dining · Luxe 2BR · Rare A/C, Fire Pit, & Garage Parking

  • Steps to the sand, pier, sailing harbor, shops, and cafes—on a quiet street where the evening still feels like vacation. Surf Casita is a 2023 custom build: rare A/C, secure garage parking with EV charging, and two private outdoor spaces. Sip wine in the courtyard as the sun melts into the ocean, then relax by the fire pit. A Vrbo `Loved by Guests` home—their top 10% in Newport Beach—with amazing guest reviews behind it. A no-car-needed escape designed for laid-back luxury.

    Highlights:
    ✓ Rare A/C
    ✓ Fire pit
    ✓ Garage + EV⚡
    ✓ King bed
    ✓ Luxe fit & finish
    ✓ Warm outdoor shower
    ✓ 85` TV + music + Fast Wi-Fi

    A popular rare find — dates go fast.

    The Retreat
    Surf Casita is a luxury 2BR ground-floor duplex, custom built in 2023 and finished like a designer model home: high-end fixtures, curated decor, and the fit and finish of a ground-up build, not a converted rental. Rare A/C, fast Wi-Fi, secure garage parking, and a Level 2 EV charger. Enjoy two fully private outdoor spaces, easy beach access, and the perfect mix of Newport energy and quiet coastal comfort.

    The Goldilocks Zone — not too close, not too far. Just right. This is the location locals choose: steps from everything, removed from the crowds.

    A short 2–3 minute walk covers the sand, Newport Pier, and the oceanfront boardwalk, along with Mom`s Beach for calm bay swimming and paddleboarding, Marina Park, bike and surf rentals, waterfront dining and cafés (Crab Cooker, Lighthouse Café, Shorebird), Balboa ice cream bars, and the Sunday farmers market.

    Surf, sail, paddle, bike — then retreat to a quiet street where the evening actually feels like vacation. Park once in your own spot and leave the car there all week.

    Sleeping Arrangements
    Comfortable sleeping for five across two bedrooms plus a living room sleeper.

    🛏️ The Flagship Room
    King bed · Premium mattress · Brooklinen percale sheets · Private patio with fire pit · 55` Smart TV · A/C · Walk-in closet

    🛏️ The Surf Room
    Two full beds · Surf-themed décor · Great for kids or friends · 55` Smart TV · A/C · Walk-in closet

    🛏️ Living Room
    Queen sleeper sofa · A proper bed for adults, not an afterthought · 85` Smart TV · A/C

    The Bath
    The spa bathroom serves both bedrooms equally and exceptionally. Warm, high-end lighting, designer fixtures, and custom-home finishes carry the quality through. The bathtub makes post-beach cleanup with kids easy, a full set of bath essentials is stocked, and plush Turkish towels complete the experience.

    Outdoor Living
    Two outdoor spaces, both entirely yours. Out front, a gated courtyard with a BBQ, dining for six, and a warm outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach. Out back, a patio where the fire pit and the amber glow of cafe lights set the scene for sunset wine and slow coastal evenings.

    Well-Appointed Casita Kitchen
    Designed for real cooking, the kitchen includes a gas range, refrigerator with ice maker, dishwasher, toaster, and rice cooker, plus fully stocked cookware and wine glasses. The coffee bar offers drip and K-Cup makers, plus a French press — coffee included to start the day. Plate today`s catch at the courtyard table for a sunset dinner.

    Tech & Comfort
    Rare A/C throughout makes Surf Casita a true Newport find. An 85` 4K TV with surround sound and Sonos music make staying in feel like a choice, not a compromise. Smart lighting, ultra-fast Wi-Fi for work-from-beach days, and an in-garage washer/dryer add comfort and convenience.

    Garage Parking
    Secure garage parking with a Level 2 EV charger. Fits a full-size SUV (no tall roof racks).

    Beach Essentials, Handled
    Beach chairs, umbrella, towels, surfboards, boogie boards, and a cooler are ready in the garage — grab and go, two minutes to the sand.

    Traveling with little ones?
    Pack-n-play, high chair, crib, and baby monitor available on request.
