The bike path can be bustling on a weekend and it's always fun to look at the interesting houses along the way. The beach itself has a very large sand stretch to the water. The waves tend to be shorebreak the farther you're from the pier. Surfers and bodyboarders enjoy riding waves by the pier. Dolphins and whales love it around here too. Don't forget the farmer's market at the Newport Pier on Saturdays from 9-1!

They have a checkin area where you can unload all your stuff as well before moving your car to the parking lot. The cottages have a microwave & a refrigerator with a sink. You can't use the stove/oven, just FYI. I did a 1 nighter in a shared cottage in November. It was cooler weather and we were in the white house upstairs. We had the loft and another party had the side room. We have no issues sharing the common space and it was fun to experience. This April, I scored a 2 night in cottage 4B on the only rainy/gloomy weekend we've had here. Of all the luck. Within 6days of reservation date, you lose 1 night stay so it was sunk cost so I went ahead and did both nights. Easy to check in and checkout. If you are down the hill, you can get a ride on the golf carts which are very nice. 2 cars overnight as well per cabin. Rooms were clean. There is no AC so be prepared depending on your weather. I wanted to leave windows open but most don't have a screen so you get bugs and I was afraid of critters coming in. (Saw it on a youtube from someone. ) Each cottage is different but great to get away. Beautiful location! SYOY!

Ok. I grew up in Orange County and only found out about place this a couple of months ago…read more The history of the cottages is way too long to go into here, but it is very interesting. Currently there are full cottages (like an Airbnb), dorms (private rooms with shared living space),and three ADA cottages. The prices range from $53 -$338 per space, per night, all year. Reservations for the cottages open up 6 months in advance at 8am, and the dorms open up 1 month in advance at 8am. The max time length is 7 days, per reservation. They are located right on the beach in Crystal cove, with full kitchens, bedding, towels, and toilet paper. The views are GORGEOUS!!! Lots of windows, and there is nothing like falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing. We stayed in 29B which is the loft inside building 29 (4 twin beds and private bath downstairs) so cute, so comfortable, and just a lovely stay! The Beachcomber restaurant is located right on the beach as well, serving breakfast lunch and dinner. SUPER packed in summer, not such much in winter. There is a snack bar area, a couple historical building, and a souvenir shop adjacent to the restaurant. The Shake Shack is up at the top of the cliff, up a huge flight of stairs, on PCH. There is also a private meeting room located next to the reg office if you wanted to host a meeting overlooking the ocean. PLEASE NOTE FOR PARKING: the reg office is located past the ranger station, and you have to drive up there to get your keys and unload your car. Then you are given a parking permit, and have to drive your car across the street (PCH) and walk back to the cottage area, about a 10 min walk with minor hills. For the ADA cottages, you can park very close to the cottage. PRO-TIP: bring your own coffee cups, plates, silverware. Very limited in the cabin

NP Beachhouse is one of the premier properties located in Newport Beach! My family and I have now…read morevacationed in the Upper and Lower units on two different occasions- once during Thanksgiving and once for two weeks during the summer. Each experience was unique and provided a ton of family memories. This rental property provides a first-class view of the ocean and is two steps from the boardwalk and beach. Our family and friends have never experienced a more convenient location- in terms of closeness to the beach and within a short walk to the grocery store, bar and grills, local shopping and surf school. We will probably vacation here forever because of the prime location and the owner and her assistant. They are always pleasant and willing to go the extra mile to assure the comfort of our family. Recently, each unit was updated with fresh paint, new tile, and new furniture. There is also a grill provided for summer family BBQs. We cannot thank Diane and NP Beachhouse enough for the wonderful hospitality and great family experience!

You can walk straight out and be on the beach in seconds, which made the entire experience feel relaxing and effortless. The house itself was just as impressive. Having three garage parking spots was a huge bonus, especially for traveling and storing bikes. It made everything so convenient and stress-free. The location couldn't have been better--just far enough from the main pier to enjoy quieter, less crowded beaches, but still close enough to easily bike or walk over when you want to be in the middle of everything. There's even a volleyball net right outside the house, which was such a fun added touch. Overall, this place checked every box for us. Peaceful, perfectly located, and incredibly convenient. We will definitely be returning!

BBQ had plenty of propane, the washer and dryer were an added touch could easily fit 2 cars in garage. Check in and check out instructions were super easy.

The location truly could not have been better -- we loved being able to easily walk to coffee shops in the mornings, restaurants, bars, the supermarket, and even all the way to the Balboa Pier. The Oceanfront Boardwalk does get a little busy in front of the house on weekends, but honestly, it made for some great people watching and added to the fun beach atmosphere. The house itself is top-notch, with high-end appliances, a fantastic layout, and beautiful quality décor throughout. Our favorite space was definitely the first-floor bar/living room area, which featured a huge L-shaped island bar with seating for 10 -- it became the perfect gathering spot for our family. The views from both the first and second floors are absolutely amazing. Someone occupies the third floor, but we never heard any noise and it did not interfere with our stay whatsoever. My only suggestion for future guests is that if you plan to BBQ for a large group, the grill is fairly small and did not work very well. Thankfully, we came prepared and brought our own portable grill. Lastly, communication with Beachview Rental was excellent. They always responded very quickly and were happy to restock and send over extra supplies whenever needed. Everyone in our family absolutely LOVED this rental property, and if we return in the future, we would definitely want to stay here again!

Unfortunately the cruise operator canceled due to a power outage affecting their dock. Since Duffy boats are electric vehicles powered by batteries, not being able to charge the boats makes the rental not viable. I grew up in Newport and spent decades on the water so I set out on a mission to find another Duffy boat available for rent. Fortunately Duffy boat rentals had a 12 passenger boat available so we changed over at the last minute and went with them. Great little operation, right in the fun zone area of the Balboa peninsula. After filling out the waiver online when I made the reservation, a quick check in, review of Newport harbor maps and areas to remain clear of, I was given a checkout on the Duffy. We were on our way for a 2 hour cruise around Newport harbor, out to the entrance channel, past the harbor patrol, lifeguard, and US coast guard docks, under the Balboa island bridge, around harbor and Linda islands, past the coast highway bridge, down the inside of lido island, under the lido island bridge, dow the rhine channel, along the peninsula, past bay island and back to the fun zone. Perfect 2 hour cruise. Dock crew and customer service staff were great. Super easy and fun way to spend and early fall late afternoon. Highly recommend this, I'll be back to do it again soon.
