Less than a mile to Newport Pier and half an hour to Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm. About an hour to downtown Los Angeles and an hour-and-a-half to San Diego. Lots of amenities and free WiFi! ONE PARKING SPACE IN THE PRIVATE SHARED GARAGE WILL BE PROVIDED TO GUESTS! Parking spot is 9 feet wide, 16 feet long, and 7 feet tall.

    This is a remodeled upstairs unit that features a large private deck with bay views - the perfect place to relax and read a book or grill up something delicious (or watch the famous Newport Beach Boat Parade at Christmas OR a panoramic view of fireworks from Disneyland to the Dunes at 4th of July)! It also has newer carpet throughout with tile floors in bathrooms and kitchen. It boasts granite counters in kitchen, stainless steel appliances (range, built-in oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator with ice maker and water dispenser), and a washer and dryer on the premises.

This is the perfect beach house for my family. We come every couple of years to come and relax before I start my job back up as at teacher. The property is clean and perfect for us. My dad grew up in LA area and then moved to Utah. He always missed the beaches. He recently passed and I love coming to Newport to be a little closer to my dad. Thanks Matt for sharing your house so I can create memories with my family.

Awesome beach house

This charming house is the perfect location for exploring the balboa peninsula on foot or bikes! Beautiful views front and back, the bay at night is magic, walking the beach in the morning to get donuts even better! Having a place to park and keep bikes is priceless! Clean too, sheets, bedding all the good stuff for being comfy and suprisingly quiet at night for being right in the middle of all the lovely beach things!

Home away from home

We really enjoyed our stay. It was so close to the beach. We loved the location. It was quiet with a beautiful bay view and mini ocean view, the spacious patio and furniture, the full kitchen, the large screen TV and fun fireplace. The king size bed is perfect. We appreciated you being available whenever we had a question. We look forward to returning to your family treasure by the sea.

As a first time renter on VRBO, I was not sure what to expect. Matt exceeded my expectations 100%. His communication was outstanding; friendly, informative and provided me with everything I needed to make it a pleasant stay. He was always available when needed and was present without hovering in any way. Perfect. Such a nice guy too!The bungalow itself is perfectly situated for plenty of Newport Beach/Laguna Beach escapades. Walking distance to nice restaurants and fun bars! His neighbors were chill and the place felt very safe! Nice bonus of having the parking spot in the garage!So bottom line...would I go back? Yes! Would I recommend it to you? Yes! Just don't try to take my time slot! (Kidding!)

Annual beach fix!

This is our 2nd year staying at Matt's place and we have already picked our week for next year. Matt is an EXCELLENT host and we had everything we needed for a nice, relaxing trip. It's so nice to be able to park the car and never have to take it out of the garage; we walk everywhere we need to go. We plan to keep coming back every year!

Amazing as always

Matt's property is never anything less than exceptional. We had an amazing 10 days just lounging at the beach and enjoying the peaceful comforts of the house. As always, Matt provides plenty of beach essentials to make the trip more comfortable. We enjoyed having such a selection of puzzles, games and novels......and the bed is the most comfortable thing you will ever sleep on. Cant wait to come back next year.
