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:

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.

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.

My husband and I stayed four nights at The Sandcastle with our son, two daughters, and two sons-in-law, all aged 20-30. We were in town for my nephew’s wedding, and extended the trip to include a mini family reunion on the beach!

This was a fantastic stay. Most important was the attentiveness of the owner. Would recommend to anyone looking for a beach front place:)

The house and the location were great! Jason was super responsive and supportive. We had a wonderful time.
5.0 / 5.0
We did a fair amount of research and talked to people who have vacationed in Newport and the Sand Castle met or exceeded our requirements. First of all the location is perfect - on the beach but far enough from the hub bub of the Newport Beach Pier as to not have constant traffic both foot and auto. Next, having a two car garage was great because parking on the street may be problematic in high season. Four bikes and other toys are a great addition. New and upgraded interior and appliances along with barbecue. Most important Jason was beyond responsive. Could not ask for a better host.

You can’t beat the location or the fact that you have the entire house, not just the upper or lower level of a duplex.
Jason was very responsive too.
I highly recommend this home and would love to stay here again.

The house was great. It was in a great location. Jason was incredible with communication and help with anything we needed during our stay. The house has everything you need for your stay -- chairs, boogie boards, toys, bikes, etc. The A/C helped when it got hot. Would strongly recommend to anyone.

Everything was on point. Easy to book and easy to communicate with our manager/owners. Love these folks and their process. Very accommodating to a small change and was always making sure we were enjoying our stay. I look forward to booking again. In addition, excellent location. Can’t beat it.

This home is a perfect place to stay with a group of eight. Our kiddos enjoyed the beach daily and it was so nice to be right ON the beach! The home is clean, well done, and you feel right at home immediately. Jason is so easy and prompt to help with anything (not that we needed much), and we would surely stay here again! :) Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

This was our third or fourth stay at this property and it continues to be our favorite. Jason the manger is a great communicator and the location and setup of the house can't be beat! We can also fit our suburban in the garage which is an added bonus. You can't go wrong booking this home!
5.0 / 5.0
Great communication, hone was clean and the location is 100% perfect. Far enough from downtown to be quite, but close enough to be there in 5 minutes. The location on the beach would be hard to beat. Walk straight to the ocean through soft sand! Views are spectacular, we loved our time here!
5.0 / 5.0
We really enjoyed our stay at the end of October. The weather was amazing, and staying right on this amazing beach when it wasn't crowded was awesome. The Sand Castle had plenty of room and very open from the kitchen to the dining to the living to the deck. I'd go back there for sure.

The property was outstanding: all the amenities, clean, updated, spacious, and perfect location. Having a/c and multiple parking spots were true luxuries during the heat wave. Can’t wait to return!

Wonderful house in a great location!
Great house in a great location! The house is right on the sand but off the boardwalk (which we prefer). But you can still easily walk or ride bikes to restaurants and shops.
The house was clean and exactly what we were looking for. We had a great week and would definitely stay here again!
Also, Jason, the property manager, was super easy to communicate with.

Great beach location!
The house has everything you need. Any questions and Jason was right on top of it. The A/C is a huge bonus also although not always needed on the beach.

Great beach house layout
This floorplan is great for families with teenagers. Teens had their own bathroom/bedrooms and living area downstairs to hang out in. Parents could enjoy the upstairs living area and upstairs patio. The beach patio is large enough for the whole family. Location is just a few streets north of the end of the boardwalk which gives lots of privacy but close proximity to hop on the boardwalk if you want to. Prop manager Jason was great to work with, very quick to respond to any questions. Check in/check out was very simple and clear. All towels, linens and beds were nice quality and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you'll need. Their cleaning crew does an excellent job, the house was spotless and ready to go when we arrived. Would definitely rent again.

We were very pleased with this beautiful home on the beach. It worked out perfectly for our family of seven. We loved having the beach as our backyard for the week. We felt like we were right at home with the coziness of the beach house. I look forward to our next stay.
