About this property
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.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Matt Rippon

I, Matt, am a high school teacher living in Fullerton, and my twin sister, Becky, works for her husband's family business in Upland. We both have young families and enjoy staying at the beach house whenever we can.
Why they chose this property
Our family has owned this property since 1910. We are blessed to own it as it has provided four generations of fun and fond memories. We are excited to share our modest, lovely cottage with you. Come, stay, relax, and make memories again and again.
What makes this property unique
Although the beach is just steps away, we also enjoy sunbathing with our favorite beverages in our private backyard. If someone has had enough sun, he or she can move to the shade of the brilliant natural canopy of our beautiful bougainvillea... and oh, that Pacific Ocean air!
