So close to beach the backyard is sand! Lots of kids toys and bikes, beach chairs in garage. Note: only fits 2 smaller cars but during week easy parking on street.
Kids immediately started playing with toys and didnt make it into house for a while
Beds comfortable, everything clean, no dishwasher so you do that. Pier, shops and restaurants just a short walk down the boardwalk.
It was lovely and beautiful weather after morning fog burned off Would definitely do again

This house was absolutely wonderful. They have spared no expense making sure that anything you could need for a nice beach getaway is already there. From towels and beach toys to perfect spaces to lay your head. Everything was wonderful and clean. Can't wait to make this a yearly trip and hopefully even longer next time. Thank you Matt for the wonderful experience. Also loved all the family history in the home. Made it feel even more cozy.

The location is great. The listing is totally accurate. Look at the pictures. This a cute little cottage that is just steps from the beach. We took walks along the beach to the pier. We walked to local restaurants and had a great time. The bathroom is small like the one I grew up with - no just a sink, tub and toilet and a little bit of storage. The wi-fi worked well.

This was a great property in a perfect location. I parked my car in the garage and never had to drive. We were able to walk to everything or ride the bikes that were part of the rental. I would definitely rent this adorable cottage again.

We enjoyed playing freebie and attempting to surf. The home and area was clean and seemed safe.
The kids and I appreciated we were not on the main boardwalk, and when you step out of the front door, you can see the beach.
I would love to stay there again.

Our family loved staying at this little home so close to the sand at Newport Beach. It was private, had everything we needed, and so close to everything! We will definitely come back! What a bonus to have beach chairs and bikes available for use. The cherry on top was being able to park in the garage out back (we were able to fit our minivan no problem). Thank you Matt for opening your home up to our family for a relaxing vacation!

Matt as always is wonderful to work with, and provides quick responses to anything that may come up. This is one of our favorite places to stay in Newport. The house is cozy, quaint, and the perfect size for our family. Not to mention it's only steps from the beach.

Awesome week at the Beach!
We have stayed at this nice little beach house for the past 2 summers and my kids & have enjoyed our stays. The house is close to the end of the street so the beach is close and walkable all day long as we can enjoy the beach and then get out of the sun when needed. The house is old and cozy and feels like a home.

Our favorite place to stay in Newport.
We won't stay anywhere else as long as, this charming cottage is still hosting renters.
We're 3rd generation to OC, moved away 4 yrs ago.
We love making more family memories with our 4 boys.
Location is great to visit my Mom and friends, when time allows. Steps to the beach, shops and restaurants. I highly recommend staying here.

My husband sent me and my college roommate on a 2 day get-away trip for our birthdays. I can't say enough good things about this place. It is an old house, filled with vintage touches and charm. This home welcomes you in such a cozy way, you feel enveloped in a big hug as soon as you walk in through the front door. Everything was bright and beachy, full amenities, everything you might want was readily available. The bedrooms were stocked with extra pillows and blankets, the heater kept us toasty as the January weather at the beach was a bit overcast and foggy. (But we didn't care! Went for walks on the beach anyway!) There were great restaurants nearby, lots of places to explore.. I would definitely come back again and highly recommend this home. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We stayed for 3 nights in November. We have 2 kids, 3 and 4 years old. They had a blast. The sand yard is awesome if you don't want to go to the actual beach. The kitchen is fully stocked and so cute! There were some fun games for the kids to play inside too. Thank you for being so family friendly!
