The Retreat
Surf Casita is a luxury 2BR ground-floor duplex, custom built in 2023 and finished like a designer model home: high-end fixtures, curated decor, and the fit and finish of a ground-up build, not a converted rental. Rare A/C, fast Wi-Fi, secure garage parking, and a Level 2 EV charger. Enjoy two fully private outdoor spaces, easy beach access, and the perfect mix of Newport energy and quiet coastal comfort.

The Goldilocks Zone — not too close, not too far. Just right. This is the location locals choose: steps from everything, removed from the crowds.

A short 2–3 minute walk covers the sand, Newport Pier, and the oceanfront boardwalk, along with Mom`s Beach for calm bay swimming and paddleboarding, Marina Park, bike and surf rentals, waterfront dining and cafés (Crab Cooker, Lighthouse Café, Shorebird), Balboa ice cream bars, and the Sunday farmers market.

Surf, sail, paddle, bike — then retreat to a quiet street where the evening actually feels like vacation. Park once in your own spot and leave the car there all week.

Sleeping Arrangements
Comfortable sleeping for five across two bedrooms plus a living room sleeper.

🛏️ The Flagship Room
King bed · Premium mattress · Brooklinen percale sheets · Private patio with fire pit · 55` Smart TV · A/C · Walk-in closet

🛏️ The Surf Room
Two full beds · Surf-themed décor · Great for kids or friends · 55` Smart TV · A/C · Walk-in closet

🛏️ Living Room
Queen sleeper sofa · A proper bed for adults, not an afterthought · 85` Smart TV · A/C

The Bath
The spa bathroom serves both bedrooms equally and exceptionally. Warm, high-end lighting, designer fixtures, and custom-home finishes carry the quality through. The bathtub makes post-beach cleanup with kids easy, a full set of bath essentials is stocked, and plush Turkish towels complete the experience.

Outdoor Living
Two outdoor spaces, both entirely yours. Out front, a gated courtyard with a BBQ, dining for six, and a warm outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach. Out back, a patio where the fire pit and the amber glow of cafe lights set the scene for sunset wine and slow coastal evenings.

Well-Appointed Casita Kitchen
Designed for real cooking, the kitchen includes a gas range, refrigerator with ice maker, dishwasher, toaster, and rice cooker, plus fully stocked cookware and wine glasses. The coffee bar offers drip and K-Cup makers, plus a French press — coffee included to start the day. Plate today`s catch at the courtyard table for a sunset dinner.

Tech & Comfort
Rare A/C throughout makes Surf Casita a true Newport find. An 85` 4K TV with surround sound and Sonos music make staying in feel like a choice, not a compromise. Smart lighting, ultra-fast Wi-Fi for work-from-beach days, and an in-garage washer/dryer add comfort and convenience.

Garage Parking
Secure garage parking with a Level 2 EV charger. Fits a full-size SUV (no tall roof racks).

Beach Essentials, Handled
Beach chairs, umbrella, towels, surfboards, boogie boards, and a cooler are ready in the garage — grab and go, two minutes to the sand.

Traveling with little ones?
Pack-n-play, high chair, crib, and baby monitor available on request.

Ron was an exceptional host! Place was immaculate, inside and out! Decorated beautifully inside and outside. Location was perfect for walking to beach and restaurants. We’ll be back for sure. Thanks Ron!

House was very cute and updated. Perfect size for a family of 5. Location was great and near lots of restaurants and the beach. Sharing a washer and dryer was not a big deal.
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2025
Wow, gorgeous stay. Just what we needed! Loved the very short walk to the pier. It was quieter than staying on the sand! We wished we’d spent more time there and would love to come back.
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2025
Check in could not have been easier, property manager provided all information prior to arrival and was great at responding to any additional questions. This home is completely updated with great amenities. Location is not right on the beach, but it is a short walk to the beach and very close to the pier.
