About this property

Artist's Oceanfront Retreat - Entire House

This Spectacular Beach Front Property boasts one of the most breathtaking coastal views in Newport. Sleeps 9 in 3 bedrooms including a stunning master suite, and 2 1/2 baths. This is our regular residence that we share with guests. With no boardwalk in front of the house you can enjoy peaceful beach life without the foot traffic of other Newport Beach properties . The deck sits right on the sand near the well-known 54th St. surf spot, hosting regular contests and a few local pros year-round. Wake up with coffee in hand to porpoise, catalina island views, and the endless Pacific ocean. Mid-day brings bright sunshine (usually!) beach visitors who drive from often an hour to get to this beach. Expect brilliant sunsets offshore and the sound of crashing waves to lull you to sleep. The neighborhood is very safe, and we protect your belongings (and ours) with Ring cameras at the front door and inside the garage.
This location has been in our family since 1969, replaced with a top-end custom home 40 years later, and Remodeled in 2023.
We share our home for the enjoyment it brings, and we don't use a management company. We strive to make sure your stay is impeccable.

Thank you!

We would like to share our experience on a long stay about this property. When we initially made the inquiry, correspondence from the hosts was friendly and answered all of our concerns. The location of this “Artist’s Retreat” was central to where we wanted to be in Newport Beach. Retail to include restaurants, shopping, gym, bike and walking paths were all in comfortable range. The Taylor’s welcomed us upon arrival and were available when needed. They went above and beyond our expectations. The house is welcoming and spacious with incredible beach access, views and sunsets. We would consider returning as special memories will remain. Thank you, Paul, Halley and our cats.

Beautiful Oceanside retreat

I stayed at this gorgeous home, directly on the beach in Newport Beach for the month of Feb 2023. The hosts were so wonderful! The house was fully appointed and lacked nothing! I look forward to staying there again in the future!!

Exceptional in every way

We spent five weeks in paradise. The property is well appointed. You need nothing more than your personal items and food/beverages. The location is central to anything you’d need or want to do. Jennifer and Greg are wonderful hosts who make you fell like you are at home. Responsive, warm and friendly. We will return!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Taylor

Our family has been blessed to own this spot of beachfront since 1969. Now, we are honored to share our fully rebuilt, comfortable and luxurious home with those wanting to visit this small corner of paradise.
It is a joy for us to hear the great stories of our guests which remind us of so many wonderful times playing on the beach, swimming and surfing with our family and friends (and hopefully grandkids soon)!
We split time between this home and another 20 minutes inland, and try to take advantage of all that Orange County, Newport Beach and the "California Riviera" have to offer.

Why they chose this property

This home feels like an upscale coastal residence because that's what it's always been. It is entirely unlike most other coastal rentals that cater to large groups of partiers who want to go wild for a week. We only allow month-long rentals, which is perfect for those who want the full opportunity to "live like a local". You'll stay surrounded by our artwork, quality custom furnishings, high end kitchen and appliances, crystal glass and stemware, extensive book collection and more.
Don't worry though, we are a short beach walk or cruiser ride from all the excitement of the boardwalk, fabulous local restaurants and harbor and pier activities

What makes this property unique

We are in the middle of the best 10 blocks of coastal property in Newport for two reasons. First, we are closer to the water than nearly all of Newport's beachfront homes, many of which can hardly see the ocean. Second we on one of the few stretches of beach without a boardwalk directly in front of the house.
Tranquility, privacy & safety make for a perfect afternoon lounging on either the large downstairs deck or the upstairs "coffee time" deck with 180 degree views of the pier, Catalina Island, and the Palos Verdes peninsula.
Once you've relaxed a bit, join the often many sunbathers closer to the water, grab your family and friends and play some cornhole, volleyball and frisbee out front and then jump in the water to cool off (bravery sometimes required for this last part)!
