About this property

The Sand Castle - Beachfront House- Plenty of Outdoor Space- Oceanfront

Beautifully kept and upgraded luxury oceanfront dream home. This home boasts upgraded appliances, large master soaking tub, high ceilings, two car garage, private upper and lower front patios, Weber BBQ, large flat screen TVs, incredible views, beach toys, bikes, games and much more. Take five steps out the front door to get to the beach or enjoy the sun from your own private patio. There is no noisy boardwalk in front of this home so your relaxing time won't be interrupted by people passing by. Enjoy watching the surfers or the sunset from you enclosed and covered balcony.

Centrally located near restaurants, bars, grocery stores, bike, kayak, paddle board and boat rentals, two piers and the world famous beach break, The Wedge. This home embodies the Newport Beach life style and way of living.

On the first floor you have two bedrooms and one and half bath. There is a inside living room that opens up to a private patio right on the beach. The upstairs has the large master bedroom with a large hotel style bathroom. The upgraded kitchen sits next to another living room that has tall glass windows with a view of the beach and Newport Pier. The living room also opens up to a large covered balcony with a BBQ connected to a natural gas line. Two car garage with two public meter parking spots next to the residence.

This is a single family home so you get to enjoy the entire property.

Some things to know:

This home has central heat and AC.

Two car garage parking with additional space behind as long as you don't block the bike bath. A Tahoe can fit on one side and smaller car can fit on the other. A larger vehicle will fit behind the garage if you park close.

There are 4 working beach cruisers with 2 bike locks.

We start the home with a 'starter pack' of paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags and laundry detergent. Beyond that, you will need to pick some up from the store.

Beach towels and bathroom towels are supplied. It is recommended that you bring any and all personal bathroom items.

Excellent location on 37th Street beachfront. Primarily upstairs unit with downstairs access to the beach. Easy communication, beach chairs and some kitchen amenities available. No Bluetooth speaker on site so bring your own. Patio furniture was outdated and cushions and metal frames were in bad condition. There is a garage and adjacent parking that does need to be paid for. Overall good property

Host interaction was wonderful. All questions were answered quickly. Whenever I needed help he was so responsive. House is in a beautiful location. It’s nice that it’s a few blocks away from the path to town. Easy to get to the path but more quiet. Views are amazing. The house needs an update. The kitchen is nice. The downstairs has old furniture, broken blinds, old and rusty outdoor furniture. It was just a lot of little things that add up to a house that needs some TLC.
View down beach to South.

Beautiful spot. 10/10 would stay again. Check in was a bit frustrating as we never received the check in instructions, so we were outside of house for a while on the phone with Vrbo to sort it out. Eventually got the code and made it in. Everything after that was perfect. Great house. Great location. Highly recommend.

The house was fantastic! It’s a great location and we enjoyed being able to just walk out our door to get to the beach. The house was well stocked with everything we needed, including beach toys. We particularly enjoyed the upstairs balcony, where we ate several of our meals while viewing the beautiful scenery.

About the host

Hosted by Jason Jacobs

Host profile image
Hi,
My name is Jason Jacobs and I am a local Realtor here in Newport Beach. We take pride in providing a professional concierge service and want your stay to be one for the books!

Why they chose this property

We believe this property in unique in several ways. It is one of very few single family homes that are available for rent on the oceanfront. It is a three bed, two and half bath that serves perfectly for families trying to get away. It is situated on a corner lot which means the views of the beach are better. It also has some extra metered parking right next store. The master bedroom is large with high ceilings accompanied with a spa tub. Beautifully upgraded kitchen with high end appliances give the feeling of luxury and ease when preparing meals for you and your family. Not to mention an incredible host ;)

What makes this property unique

This property sits right on the sane with no boardwalk in front that allows extra privacy and a safe place for the kiddos to run around or a quiet relaxing get away.
