About the host

Host profile image
For us Newport Beach is home. We had our first date at Charlie's Chili on the Newport Beach Pier. I grew up in Mission Viejo, so Newport was my backyard on the weekends. I loved coming down here and riding bikes and staying on the beach to finish off our day with a beautiful sunset. After college in San Francisco, I moved back, and made Newport my home.
My husband, Mark, originally from Scotland, moved to Newport from Chicago in 2004, after we dated long distance for 4 years! Needless to say he fell in love with Newport in a heart beat. The rental was our first home. We lived upstairs while renting the downstairs and later moved to a lovely neighborhood right around the corner.
We now love hosting and meeting the families that come and stay at our lovely place
