About this property

Steps to Sand. Great Parking/ Bikes!

3 bedroom 2 bath home just 100 steps from the sand near Lifeguard Tower 51, this home offers two reserved parking spots, private furnished patio with BBQ and fire pit, plus bikes, beach chairs, umbrellas, and sand toys for the perfect getaway. So easy to relax on the sand and ran back home for lunch or snack refills and potty breaks! We are close enough to walk or ride to the pier for food or shopping, but far enough that you dont get the traffic and crowds around the public parking areas! Happy to answer any questions or share some of our families favorite things to do when we are there!


Why You’ll Love It:

Prime Location – Walk or bike the scenic boardwalk to Newport Pier (1 mile) for coffee, dining, and shopping.

Reserved Parking – Two dedicated spots, a rare find in Newport Beach.

Private Outdoor Living – Furnished patio with charcoal BBQ and fire pit.

Beach Gear Included – Bikes, chairs, umbrellas, and sand toys for the perfect beach day.

Inside:

Master Bedroom – Queen bed, private en-suite bath

Bedroom 2 – Queen bed

Bedroom 3 – Full-over-full bunk bed (ideal for kids or extra guests)

Second Full Bath – Convenient hallway access

Open-Concept Living Space – Comfy sofa, dining table, and flat-screen TVs in every bedroom and the living room

Fully Equipped Kitchen – Coffee maker (pot & Keurig), toaster, microwave, cookware, and dishes

Washer & Dryer – Located in garage for guest use

Nearby Fun:
Walk to Newport Pier, bike to Balboa Fun Zone, or explore Marina Park’s bayfront playground. Spend the day surfing, whale watching, or browsing local boutiques. Our location is ideal for easy day trips or exploring the local area, but many people just want to spend their days on the beach and dont even get back in the car until its time to go home.

We tried to give our home a beachy chic vibe. It is a great location at a great price and we are so happy that so many families return every year to make those special memories just like we have with our children!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Place was perfect for our family of six, sooooooo close to the ocean! We were mainly there for DL (25 min), and this was a great jumping off point. But we could have easily enjoyed a week just hanging locally at the beach, pier, etc! On a rainy week, very glad for the washer and dryer, which got a workout!

We loved how close this place is to the beach - just a quick walk! The beach amenities were such a nice touch, and the back patio was perfect for relaxing after a day in the sun. It’s also an easy walk to shops and the grocery store, which made everything super convenient.Bring coffee pods (or ground coffee) and earplugs if you’re sensitive - the neighborhood is lively and the houses are close together, so you’ll hear the everyday sounds of people and beach life.We’d definitely stay here again!

The property is in a great location and is comfortably furnished. Unfortunately, it is on the ground floor and two nights we were awakened about 4-4:30am by what sounded like someone walking around in clogs and moving furniture. Where they cleaning between renters? That should definitely be improved.

This was our 4th trip to the “Neptune” house. And it was wonderful as always. Clean, spacious and steps to the beach. It would have been nice to have screen doors on the backyard slider and front door.

Great location. Very clean, had plenty of kitchen items to cook with. Laundry facilities worked well. Only issue was not being aware there was no ac and it could get stuffy if fans and doors not left open and on.
