If you’re traveling to Newport Beach, do it right and stay on the sand!

There’s nothing quite like listening to the sound of the ocean while sipping on coffee in the kitchen. And who hasn’t dreamed of having the beach as their own backyard? The best part of all is that oceanfront living in Newport doesn’t have to break the bank! We found five oceanfront stunners that deliver on luxury, comfort, and affordability for a stay that’s guaranteed to sweep you off your feet and land you straight in vacation mode. 

A Single-family Resort on the Sand

@ 4905 Seashore Drive 

We’re not kidding when we say this vacation home is located right on the beach. Open your patio doors and you’re there! From all three levels, you’ll have uninterrupted views of the ocean and a front row seat to the daily sunsets over Catalina Island. And there’s so many places to enjoy your views! Will it be the ground floor patio with its chic chaise lounge chairs and umbrella setup? Or will you prefer the third floor view of the beach from your indoor/outdoor patio, complete with essential entertaining amenities? If it was us, we’d ditch the family and enjoy the views from the master bedroom’s private deck. In any case, if you want to treat yourself to resort-style living, this is the vacation home for you.

Our favorite feature: Fireplaces, firepits, and infrared heaters galore! These chic and tasteful features will keep the party going long after the sun goes down!

Classic, Quintessential Beach House

@ 4701 Seashore Drive # A 

This vacation rental screams beach trip in all the best possible ways! It’s got those classic white walls with shiplap detailing that fit right in with the beach right outside its doors!

Located at 47th Street, there’s no boardwalk to interrupt your access to the sand, which also means that you’ll have maximum privacy and peace and quiet. There’s also an epic surf spot right in front of your home, so you’ll have ample entertainment as you watch the surfers tear it up every morning. 

Local insight: Keep an eye out for frolicking dolphins and migrating whales, as these sea creatures are year-round visitors to our shores!
