The family room has high ceilings with a ceiling fan, a gas fireplace, bright windows which make it great place to relax after a hard day at the beach or Disneyland. The kitchen is fully stocked and all floors are tile & wood.
The Master Bedroom has one Queen bed and the second bedroom has one twin bed and bunk beds. There is a two-car garage with one spot in the garage and one in the rear. The complimentary, shared washer & dryer are inside the garage.

Close to the beach, quick walk just a block down the road. The main road didn’t bother us at all noise wise. Cute little place just as the pictures show. The garage is great, so nice to have a place to park since when we were there it was very hard to find a street spot. No issues. Had a wonderful time.

About the host

Hosted by Alexandra and Mark McClory

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
