About this property

Cozy Slice Of Paradise Just Steps From The Beach!!

  • Welcome to our charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath home in beautiful Peninsula Point, just steps from the sand and the world-famous Wedge. With the beach less than 100 steps from your front door, this is the perfect place to slow down, enjoy the sunshine, and make wonderful Newport Beach memories with family and friends.

    Our comfortably furnished home has everything you need for a relaxing beach getaway. Start your morning with coffee on the inviting front porch, come home from the beach for a quiet afternoon in the backyard, or gather around the fire pit in the evening. The private backyard is also perfect for a family barbecue, with both a gas grill and charcoal BBQ.

    The kitchen is well equipped for everything from a quick breakfast before heading to the beach to a relaxed dinner at home. You’ll find a refrigerator, gas stove and oven, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker and grinder, crock pot, blender, and dishwasher.

    For a little downtime, the living room and primary bedroom each have a flat-screen Smart TV. And because family vacations are so much easier when the little things are taken care of, we’ve included a high chair, porta-crib, toddler bed rail, and plastic dishes for young children.

    There’s plenty to keep everyone entertained, including bikes, board games, beach equipment, and beach toys. Just grab your swimsuit, hop on a bike, and enjoy everything that makes Newport Beach so special.

    One of the wonderful things about staying in Peninsula Point is having both the ocean and the bay close by. The famous Wedge is just around the corner, while the calm waters of the Bay Beach are only about a three-block walk from the house — a great option for little ones or anyone who prefers a peaceful swim without the waves.

    When you’re ready to explore, the Fun Zone is just a short and easy walk or bike ride away. Rent a boat or paddle board, head out on a fishing expedition, take the ferry over to Balboa Island, grab an ice cream, or enjoy one of the many nearby restaurants.

    Peninsula Point is one of Newport Beach’s most beloved neighborhoods, and we hope you’ll love it as much as we do. Whether you’re spending your days at the beach, riding bikes along the peninsula, gathering around the fire pit, or simply enjoying a cup of coffee on the porch, this home is a wonderful place to relax, reconnect, and make new family memories.

    The perfect location for a classic Newport Beach vacation!


    LA OLYMPICS | July 14–30, 2028

    And for those who love the ocean, San Clemente is just a 50-minute drive away and will host the spectacular Olympic Surfing competitions.

    After a day of Olympic excitement, come home to the beach, unwind, and enjoy everything that makes Newport Beach such a special place to stay. It’s the perfect combination of Olympic adventure and a relaxing beach getaway!

The perfect beach house for our family of four spring break trip. The house was quite well appointed, the furnishings lovely, beds and pillows firm and in good shape, kitchen had everything we needed, and just can't say enough about the wonderful and highly responsive host, Kate. She went out of her way to make sure our family had a great experience. We hope to be back next year!

Quick family beach getaway

My family of 5 had a great time staying here. With the beach just steps away, to the short bike ride to town and the home away from home feel of the cottage, we had a blast. I highly recommend staying here. Kate was super easy to work with and we will definitely be back!

Another Amazing Stay at the Slice of Paradise!

Super easy access to the beach, all the amenities you need for the beach, sleeps 6 perfectly, fire pit for the evenings, and parking is plentiful. If you are looking for the Newport Beach experience, this is the place to go. Close enough to all the amenities, but far enough away from the tourist hustle and bustle.

Kate is a kind and attentive host, making sure we had everything we needed for a successful stay. The house is cute and well appointed. I loved the extra touches like games, puzzles and beach towels. We were steps from the beach. Our family had a wonderful stay. Would recommend this property.

Beautiful outside, and warm and welcoming inside. It's perfect for families, groups of friends, or a quiet retreat for a solo traveler. You can be as busy as you want, with aa wide variety of outdoor activities, or spend a calm and peaceful vacation in the beautiful tropical gardens, front and back. Great eateries and shops nearby as well.

Kate was kind enough to find us a dentist and endodontist near by. She goes above and beyond to make you stay pleasant and care-free.

Another wonderful trip at this cottage

We had an absolutely wonderful time here at the cozy slice of paradise for the second year in a row! Cannot recommend highly enough! Kate is such a wonderful owner to work with and she really provides everything you need in the property. The beach is a half a block (if that) from your front door and we found ourselves strolling the sand every morning and evening. If you are looking to stay in Newport Beach, you won't find a better place, a place that makes you feel like you're home!
