Cozy Slice Of Paradise Just Steps From The Beach!!

Welcome to our charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath home in beautiful Peninsula Point, just steps from the sand and the world-famous Wedge. With the beach less than 100 steps from your front door, this is the perfect place to slow down, enjoy the sunshine, and make wonderful Newport Beach memories with family and friends.

Our comfortably furnished home has everything you need for a relaxing beach getaway. Start your morning with coffee on the inviting front porch, come home from the beach for a quiet afternoon in the backyard, or gather around the fire pit in the evening. The private backyard is also perfect for a family barbecue, with both a gas grill and charcoal BBQ.

The kitchen is well equipped for everything from a quick breakfast before heading to the beach to a relaxed dinner at home. You’ll find a refrigerator, gas stove and oven, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker and grinder, crock pot, blender, and dishwasher.

For a little downtime, the living room and primary bedroom each have a flat-screen Smart TV. And because family vacations are so much easier when the little things are taken care of, we’ve included a high chair, porta-crib, toddler bed rail, and plastic dishes for young children.

There’s plenty to keep everyone entertained, including bikes, board games, beach equipment, and beach toys. Just grab your swimsuit, hop on a bike, and enjoy everything that makes Newport Beach so special.

One of the wonderful things about staying in Peninsula Point is having both the ocean and the bay close by. The famous Wedge is just around the corner, while the calm waters of the Bay Beach are only about a three-block walk from the house — a great option for little ones or anyone who prefers a peaceful swim without the waves.

When you’re ready to explore, the Fun Zone is just a short and easy walk or bike ride away. Rent a boat or paddle board, head out on a fishing expedition, take the ferry over to Balboa Island, grab an ice cream, or enjoy one of the many nearby restaurants.

Peninsula Point is one of Newport Beach’s most beloved neighborhoods, and we hope you’ll love it as much as we do. Whether you’re spending your days at the beach, riding bikes along the peninsula, gathering around the fire pit, or simply enjoying a cup of coffee on the porch, this home is a wonderful place to relax, reconnect, and make new family memories.

The perfect location for a classic Newport Beach vacation!

We loved this cute little house! We were there with another couple for three nights and you can't beat the location. The kitchen is well-equipped and the host left us a few treats, which was a nice touch. We didn't have enough time to use all the beach supplies, but the bikes were great. Check-in was easy and the host was responsive and helpful. Can't wait to go back!

The perfect beach house for our family of four spring break trip. The house was quite well appointed, the furnishings lovely, beds and pillows firm and in good shape, kitchen had everything we needed, and just can't say enough about the wonderful and highly responsive host, Kate.

Quick family beach getaway

My family of 5 had a great time staying here. With the beach just steps away, to the short bike ride to town and the home away from home feel of the cottage, we had a blast. I highly recommend staying here. Kate was super easy to work with and we will definitely be back!
