Easy self-check in. Secure access to the property with coded gated entrance. It opens into a private front patio with keyless access to the garage where you have 1 space for parking plus access to the EV fast charging hookup.

I`ve lived in Newport Beach most of my life and it`s like being on vacation 365 days per year! I`ll get you up to speed and all the area offers and make sure your stay is memorable. I also live close to the house and can swing by for anything as needed.

The property is in a residential neighborhood and the street dead ends to the harbor (just 2 houses away) and we are super close to the beach, restaurants and shopping. In front of the house, you have a view of the bay. Just look the other way and you will see the ocean beach down the street. You are in the perfect spot.

We are centrally located in downtown Newport Beach and it`s a short walk to most everything from the house. The property is next to the harbor and ocean side beach is just down the street (2-min walk). You may not need a car since everything is close, but we provide one secure space inside the garage parking with an EV fast charge outlet for your electric vehicle. Walking or riding a bike is the best way to get around.

★ There`s a convenience store at the end of the block (open 24 hours) that has everything from wine & beverages to sunblock.

★ This place is new, and was built in 2023 so everything is fresh and modern! There is a maximum of 5 guests which includes infants and children.

★ As noted, this is a the downstairs unit of a duplex with 1 secure parking spot in a shared 2-car garage. This is the only shared space and everything is very private and quiet with separate entrances.

★ If you require more space, consider renting the upper level `Harbor Lookout` which you can view by clicking on my profile.

The house was clean, spacious, and beautifully designed. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed to cook meals, and the living room had comfortable seating and a large TV for relaxing in the evenings. Equally as great as the home was the location - quick walk to the beach, restaurants, and stores. Ron, the host, was a pleasure. Would definitely rent again!

Stupendous Stay at the Surf Casita

My family of 4 enjoyed our stay at this property for a week. It is modern, fresh, clean and packed with amenities. We loved being minutes from the beach (a short walk), boats, food and drink. We also liked that we were on a small, quiet street. I would definitely stay here again. Ron is a fabulous host! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The property was very well presented with updated finishes, furnishings and amenities. The location is great with easy access to the harbor and ocean beaches. The technology was a little challenging at first but after awhile it was manageable. The host Ron was easy to reach by phone or text. All and all a great place to vacation and relax.

Great location near Newport Pier

Very clean , modern, cookware enough to prepare simple meals, lots of towels including beach towels, plenty of toilet paper & paper towels & napkins..also hand soap & shampoo, etc was there. Salt pepper, cooking oil was there& enough plates & silverware…dishwasher was a little finicky but usually did the job. Very nice to have a shared garage & private patio. It was a little tricky having dogs with us as we had to walk blocks away for them to “do their business” as there is no grass or dirt close by…

Relaxing beach stay!

The property was so cute and very clean. There was a lot of attention to detail to make it cozy. We loved how close it was to the beach/restaurants. We absolutely loved the outside patio area where our 4 year old loved to take her toys and play. Ron was very pleasant to communicate with and made our stay enjoyable! Only things to note in case it matters to you: there is another property above you so you can hear the other tenants sometimes, you share the garage, and you share the washer/dryer. This didn’t deter us and Ron made sure we were as comfortable as possible.

Wonderful host and place

Ron was one of the most responsive hosts we’ve ever had with vrbo. Clearly takes pride in this place and he thought through all of the little details - appreciated his house manual and Newport Beach recommendations. Very clean place and firm comfortable beds. The location is optimal; with a short walk to the beach, the marina, and the fun summer nightlife. We brought our dog and he loved the access to 2 fenced-in, outdoor patios. Excellent washer/dryer as well. There is also a 711 on the corner to grab any extras needed. Fantastic stay.
