About this property
"Artist's Retreat" Available Apr-May. Entire Oceanfront Home
In all of Newport Beach's oceanfront there are only a small number of blocks that are close to the water and not on the busy boardwalk. Every front-facing window in this extraordinary custom home is a framed beach scene, replete with changing waves, tides, sea life and beach life. You're never far from the salty air and the soothing sounds of the surf. This quiet picturesque location is still easily walkable to restaurants and nightlife.
The home sleeps up to 9 guests in 3 bedrooms, including a luxurious master suite, and features 2.5 baths.
As our primary residence, this is no ordinary vacation rental. When we travel, we share our home to provide a top-quality experience for our guests.
Enjoy your morning coffee on the deck as you take in views of porpoises, Catalina Island, and the endless Pacific Ocean. Spend your day soaking up the sun or exploring the famous 54th Street surf spot, known for its competitions and local pros. End your day with spectacular sunsets and fall asleep to the soothing sound of crashing waves.
Our home is in a safe, quiet neighborhood and has been part of our family since 1969. Rebuilt into a high-end custom residence 30 years later, it was newly remodeled in 2023. We provide everything you need for the ultimate beach experience: beach toys, chairs, blankets, and an outdoor space heater. Security is a priority, with Ring cameras at the front door and inside the garage, as well as secure entryways.
We personally manage this property, ensuring impeccable attention to detail for your stay. Check out listing #798630 for reviews of our other home.

Frequently asked questions
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)!
