What a fantastic time my family and I had at this stunning home!!!! Amy and Rod were super available and responded pretty much immediately to any questions we had and gave wonderful suggestions for restaurants and activities. The home is so well appointed and very clean. The view from the rooftop is just incredible! I seriously cannot say enough about this lovely home!

Thank you so much for your kind review. We are grateful to have you back with us again!! Looking forward to having you again soon and making more memories of The Happy Place 😃
We had such an amazing visit over Thanksgiving!! The house was absolutely beautiful and perfect for our multi-generational family of 8. The elevator was so helpful for my Dad who has a hard time with stairs. It's in a perfect location to walk/bike to anything you need. Amazing sunset views and patios. And Amy was the sweetest with her fast communication and wonderful recommendations!!
This house was perfect for our family beach vacation. The home is beautiful and equipped with everything we may need. The hosts were so helpful. It’s in a perfect location. We will definitely be back!

Thank you so much for your review, Janelle! We absolutely loved having your family at our beach home 🏖🏄♀️ So happy you enjoyed your time. Please come back and stay with us again soon (next time … you must try paddle boarding :) )
We cannot rave enough about this beautiful beachfront home! Our family had the best week making memories here and plan on making it an annual tradition!Whether we were sitting by the fire pit people watching, sipping coffee on one of the many peaceful balconies, day dreaming out at the ocean; we never wanted our time to end.The hosts were friendly, engaged and went above and beyond to help make our stay special.The decor is breathtaking and we loved how every detail of the home was so thoughtfully and stylishly designed with every comfort in mind!

Thank you so much for your kind review Kelly!!
We absolutely loved hosting your beautiful family and as much as we love making incredible memories with our own family in our home, it brings me such joy to see families, such as yours, make these same lifelong ones, too!!
Please come back and stay with us again soon! ~Amy
Our family had an absolutely incredible stay in this gorgeous new home. This is certainly one of the most beautiful homes on the peninsula and a perfect spot for family and friends get-togethers. The host family could not have been sweeter and more welcoming to our family and helpful throughout our stay. They thought of absolutely everything in this newly built home. Wonderful location, a few short blocks from the busy pier, but just far enough to not have overwhelming foot traffic in front of the house. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for taking the time to thoughtfully review our property, Stephen! We are so thrilled your family chose us to be a part of your summertime vacation lineup! We absolutely loved hosting your family and appreciate how you took impeccable care of our property AND gifted us with so many cool and helpful additions (guests have already commented about how convenient the charging stations are on each nightstand in the primary 😊). So glad you enjoyed your time at our Happy Place and can’t wait to have your family back again next summer ☀️🏖️☀️
Amy is the absolute best host. I held my 30th birthday here & from day 1 she was so kind and helpful in accommodating me & my friends making recommendations! The property is absolutely stunning & location could not be better. The home is walkable to coffee shops, workout spots, restaurants and more. On our last night we even cancelled our Nobu plans so we could order in and enjoy the sunset from the rooftop. Will for sure book again in the future and will recommend to all my friends and family!

Thank you so much for this very thoughtful and kind review, Paige!! Our home looked so amazing with your beautiful group filling it with love and happiness!! Thank you so much for taking immaculate care of our home and for all the great photos you shared :) I am so happy you loved ringing in your new decade in our Happy Place! It was an absolute pleasure hosting you. Please come back again soon!!
We cannot say enough about how great our stay was at the happy place!! It was MAGICAL. Amy went above and beyond!!! The house is absolutely stunning, and the views are INCREDIBLE. We were in awe when we first arrived!! Some of our favorite things were hanging out on the patio with the fire on, the rooftop hot tub, being walking distance to SO many things (coffee, lunch, shopping), biking the boardwalk, and we could go on and on!! The kids lived their absolute BEST lives running out on the beach right when they woke up, and Amy had all sorts of fun games for them like cornhole and board games! The rooms are so clean and comfortable which is a big deal for us!! We loved how Amy checked in and sent us the best recommendations throughout our trip.. it really made it so so special and we are already planning our next trip back!!

Your families are the best!!! Cannot wait to have you back again soon! Thank you so much for this incredible review! We appreciate you!!
We enjoyed our stay at the Happy Place in Newport Beach. We were right across the walkway to the sand and had many days, simply enjoying the view.
Our family and friends took turns visiting during the week, so we felt like the Happy Place really worked for us and the Host Amy was very attentive. Thanks for a great visit.
The area was great - right on the beach, great view and fun to watch people and dogs on the boardwalk. We went in January, so got a pretty significant winter storm, but also got some great weather and enjoyed the area.
House is well equipped
We had a great stay with our three elementary school aged kids. The location is wonderful - walkable to the pier, donuts, coffee shop, etc. The owners were incredibly responsive and very thoughtful - the house is stocked with all sorts of beach toys, boogie boards, paddle boards, towels and so much more. Highly recommend for a fun time at the beach!
Our stay was absolutely wonderful at Amy's Happy Place! She was hands down the best host I've dealt with on VRBO. The place was extremely clean and comfortable (beds were great which is rare for rentals). You can't beat the location either. I'll be back!

We had a blast at this super cute beach house! The house was very clean, had plenty of beach supplies and is right on the boardwalk! Amy was super easy to work with!
We can't wait to come back!!!!!

About the host
Hosted by Amy Kamps
This oceanfront home is the result of a dream and a goal my husband made years ago--to have a home on the sand before he reached the B-I-G 50! Well this event happened on October, 11th of 2020 and celebrating this monumental birthday in our new beach home was the icing on the cake!! We have made SO many incredible memories in this home in the short 6 weeks that we have owned it and are now ready to invite others in to do the same! ... Okay, that all was my original post in 2020, now let's fast forward 5 years of the original posting and we now have a VERY BIG SISTER to our original home we purchased. Our original 1929 beach cottage has been replaced and it's hard to imagine what has replaced her was even possible!! We still have a few small details to finish but in a very short time, this beauty is going to be available for guests to come stay on the oceanfront in top-notch style and make some of the best memories of this lives...
Why they chose this property
This property is sure to cause you a deep exhale of all the planning and packing that went into getting you to this incredible spot the moment you enter! With breathtaking ocean views from several rooms throughout the home, this home is a reminder of what life is truly about...making memories from sun up to sun down! The play awaits you at The Happy Place in Newport Beach!
What makes this property unique
Located directly on the sand with endless activity and entertainment just steps away! Bikes are ready for your use in the garage. The bay is located just across the street and kayaks, surf boards and paddle boards are rentable within a .2 mile walk. Some of the best surfing in the world is located directly in front of the house at tower 18. Restaurants abound within walking distance from our property. You honestly have to experience this property for yourself to know how amazing it truly is!
