Your Guide to a Newport Beach Vacation on a Budget.ย Here are our Favorite Travel Hacks for your Newport Beach Getaway!
Newport Beach has a reputation for attracting exorbitant wealth and flashy lifestyles. TV shows like The OC and Real Housewives of Orange County have only added to that perception. But beyond the Hollywood-ization of Newport Beach – it’s a small, friendly town that makes for the perfect vacation destination on any budget – whether youโre driving a Ferrari or a Ford Focus.ย
Your Key to Affordable Vacationing in Newport Beach
For the fastest, most effective way to save money when traveling to Newport Beach, start with assessing those big ticket items. For most people, thatโs their lodging. Where you stay makes all the difference in how much youโll pay. Yes, youโll spend money on food, maybe on a souvenir or two, but lodging will comprise the largest percentage of your travel budget. It should therefore take up the largest percentage of your focus as you plan for your trip. So here are some things to consider when deciding how much to pay for where you will stay.

Consider a Newport Beach Vacation Home
If youโre deliberating on whether or to book a hotel or a vacation home while in Newport Beach, youโre wasting needless energy. Newport Beachโs 1,200 vacation homes are not only located on the most prime piece of real estate in town (the Balboa Peninsula), but many of these homes are cheaper than even a low-tier hotel. Itโs a win-win situation! Youโll be steps from the sand AND youโll be saving many a-Benjamin by booking yourself a beach bungalow or cottage
Save some Dough on Food with a
Fully Stocked Kitchen
Another black hole that can easily destroy a vacation budget is the always-necessary food bill. Vacation is about fun food and drinks, right? Itโs a given that your spending will increase in this area while on vacation. So splurge strategically. If youโre staying in a vacation rental, then youโll have access to your own kitchen. Cook up your own breakfast and pack up your own lunch. That way, come dinnertime, you can tuck-in to the many must-try restaurants free of guilt! Your stomach – and your bank account – will thank you!
How to do your Vacation Home Hunting Homework
With literally hundreds upon hundreds of vacation homes to choose from, it can be extremely daunting to find the right one. Donโt sweat just yet! Let your priorities be your guide. For example: if youโre working with a limited budget, filter out oceanfront vacation homes from your search. Some homes may charge extra because they have special amenities like ample parking spaces, central air, rooftop decks, spas, pet allowances, etc. Keep your search filters on the most basic of amenities and youโll be surprised at what sorts of homes you can afford.ย
Check with Local
Management Companies Before Booking
Donโt settle for subpar service. Even if youโre booking a beach bargain, youโre still entitled to a clean, fully-functioning home thatโs cared for by a responsive homeowner or management company. Unfortunately, you may not get that with all affordable vacation homes. Thatโs why itโs a good use of time to inquire with local management companies before booking. With just a single phone call, you can get great insight into the degree of attentiveness and professionalism of a given management company. This dynamic might make or break your stay, so do your homework!
