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!

The patio overlooking the ocean made for a perfect way to let the day end. We were also lucky enough to see a Space-X launch right from the balcony. The hosts were incredibly communicative and accommodating. Will definitely be spending more time here in the future.

Lovely Freda doesn't let up for a moment regarding hospitality.

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

Max, Kate and Madison are welcoming and warm from the moment you enter the property, and that warmth continues throughout your stay. Rachel's yoga sessions were a wonderful way to start the morning and to rejuvenate after a beautiful hike overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The meals are delicious, nutritious, and beautiful. The rooms are cozy, clean, and very comfortable. The Banya is delightful and invigorating. Followed by a cool outdoor shower, a dip in the warm jetted pool, a sit in the sauna, and a cold plunge. The whole vibe is just lovely. Nice conversations around the fire with some tea after dinner leaves you feeling relaxed and ready to grab a book from their selection, take it to your room and read yourself to sleep after a full day. Your stay can be physically challenging if that is what you want, or it can be a pampering spa retreat without the exertion. The massages are indulgent and dreamy. The term "reset" is accurate when describing your stay. You must try the roller massage machine too! You will love it. I have social anxiety which can make new things uncomfortable for me but I was so at ease here. It all just flowed. A truly exceptional experience. I plan to make this an annual thing and will probably stay longer in the future. Give yourself this gift. Bring a loved one to share the experience. I promise you will be glad you did.
