In 2000, we had rented a place for a year on 34th Street while our home was being built in North Tustin. My husband, who always loved the beach, fell further in love with this area and the idea of someday owning a vacation home on the peninsula. We thought it would be amazing to be able to stay down here on weekends and offer a great vacation spot to our friends and family.
We finally had the opportunity to purchase something in Newport Beach at the end of 2011 and were excited when this property came on the market. There were two units on the property at that time, both of them very "shack-like" and the back shack was by far the grungiest. But we had a vision for what could be done with the place! We kept everything as it was for a few years and then did a humongous remodel in 2016 which included knocking down the back shack completely and building a completely new, from the ground up, home. We also stripped the front shack down to the studs and built that from scratch with all new electrical, plumbing, insulation, windows, flooring, appliances……the works!! We and our friends and family continue to fondly refer to our place as "The Shack" and "The Back Shack". They are two of the most gorgeous "shacks" you will ever see! Until now, we've used the property solely as a weekend place for ourselves and friends and family. We still plan to stay as often as possible in either shack when they are available. We hope you enjoy staying in our home as much as we do!!!
