About this property

Private Hideaway + Outdoor Space | Steps to Sand & Bay | Harborlight

There's a particular rhythm to Newport Beach mornings — light coming in soft off the water, the day still making up its mind — and Harborlight is built to let you ease into it. Set on the lower level of a duplex-style home near the entrance to the Balboa Peninsula, it keeps to itself: a private entrance, your own outdoor space, and the sense of having a quiet corner of the coast that's entirely yours.

The location is the quiet luxury here. The Pacific is a few minutes' walk one way; Newport Harbor and the bay are even closer the other, and Lido Marina Village — with its waterfront dining and boutiques — is a short stroll up the block. Newport rewards both ambition and idleness in equal measure. You can fill a day with sun and saltwater, wander the boardwalk down to the Newport Pier, or drift an afternoon away around the harbor — or do gloriously little and still feel like you've made the most of it. Evenings tend to end the same enviable way: somewhere with a view, watching the sun drop into the ocean.

There's more here than beach days, too. Farther down the peninsula, the old-school Fun Zone is made for wandering, and the Balboa Island Ferry offers one of the most charming short crossings in Southern California. Fashion Island handles the shopping-and-strolling itch a short drive inland, while Corona del Mar's coves, the trails and tide pools of Crystal Cove State Park, and the tucked-away calm of Sherman Library & Gardens cover the quieter moods.

However the day unfolds, Harborlight is the part you get to come back to — a private, low-key home base a few beats removed from the bustle, where the door is your own, the sand is close, and the coast is right there waiting.

AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more. For anything you need, we’re at your fingertips.

Surf's up! This coastal city has the largest recreational harbor on the West Coast and is known for its amazing beaches, parks, restaurants, and outdoor shopping centers. The living is easy here and it invites you to ride bikes along the boardwalk and watch pros surf some of the biggest swells in Southern California at The Wedge. Take the ferry to Balboa Island for some of the best seafood in the area and to visit an old-school amusement park with a historic Ferris wheel.

Local Attractions: Lido Marina Village, Newport Harbor, Newport Beach Pier, Balboa Peninsula & Fun Zone, Balboa Island Ferry, Corona del Mar State Beach, Fashion Island, Crystal Cove State Park, Sherman Library & Gardens.

House is clean. 3 bedrooms as stated, however it doesn’t say if you have upstairs or downstairs as it’s a shared home. You gotta pay attention to “private entry”.(different entry’s,) We will for sure come back ! You get one parking spot in garage, they gave us 4 chairs for beach to use, complimentary hats and can coolers. House has air conditioning, great shampoo (not the cheap stuff), and host was very helpful. It’s so close to the beach, I absolutely recommend this house and will come back.

Thank you for such a thorough review! We're glad the home was clean and well stocked, and that the beach chairs, hats, and can coolers came in handy — those little extras are meant to make beach days easier. It's great to hear the location was so close to the sand and that our team was helpful throughout. We appreciate you noting the shared-home layout for future guests, and we've passed that along so our listing details are as clear as possible. We'd love to welcome you back anytime!
