About this apartment rental

Light and bright, fully furnished 1br/1.5ba upstairs unit in small building on the peninsula! It is the only upstairs unit so there are no shared walls! It is situated one house from the sand so you can walk to the beach in less than 50 steps! Walk to the ocean, bay, restaurants, markets, and bus. Less than a mile to Newport Pier and half an hour to Disneyland and Knott’s Berry Farm. About an hour to downtown Los Angeles and an hour-and-a-half to San Diego. Lots of amenities and free WiFi! ONE PARKING SPACE IN THE PRIVATE SHARED GARAGE WILL BE PROVIDED TO GUESTS! Parking spot is 9 feet wide, 16 feet long, and 7 feet tall.

This is a remodeled upstairs unit that features a large private deck with bay views - the perfect place to relax and read a book or grill up something delicious (or watch the famous Newport Beach Boat Parade at Christmas OR a panoramic view of fireworks from Disneyland to the Dunes at 4th of July)! It also has newer carpet throughout with tile floors in bathrooms and kitchen. It boasts granite counters in kitchen, stainless steel appliances (range, built-in oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator with ice maker and water dispenser), and a washer and dryer on the premises. Property features updated windows as well!

Linens and bathroom towels are included. Weekly and nightly all-inclusive rate with no extra taxes or fees beyond what is listed! Great value in a great location!

Kitchen includes basic cooking utensils, pots and pans, silverware, cups, plates, coffee maker, blender, and a toaster. Huge dining room with table and chairs.

Come to the beach and relax! Our home is the perfect place to get away!

Fantastic location, literally 30 second walk to the beach. Property was clean & exactly as advertised. Communication was great from Matt, including solving an issue accessing the property immediately which was much appreciated. Would recommend & hope to return again!

As a first time renter on VRBO, I was not sure what to expect. Matt exceeded my expectations 100%. His communication was outstanding; friendly, informative and provided me with everything I needed to make it a pleasant stay. He was always available when needed and was present without hovering in any way. Perfect. Such a nice guy too!The bungalow itself is perfectly situated for plenty of Newport Beach/Laguna Beach escapades. Walking distance to nice restaurants and fun bars! His neighbors were chill and the place felt very safe! Nice bonus of having the parking spot in the garage!So bottom line...would I go back? Yes! Would I recommend it to you? Yes! Just don't try to take my time slot! (Kidding!)
