The back unit of a duplex, this 2 BDR/2 BTH property is a perfect vacation spot. Park your car in the garage (a huge plus since street parking is so hard to find!) and walk to the beautiful beach, bars, restaurants, grocery store and shopping! Our house is ideal for two couples or a small family. There are two bedrooms with King sized beds and by using an airbed in the common area, we can have a maximum of 5 guests. Although kids are welcome, please be aware that there are stairs and nobaby gates installed and we haven't child-proofed this house at all.

Pristine and air conditioned, this 2 bedroom/2 bath 1220 sq ft beach house has a gorgeous kitchen with quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances including a gas range, microwave, refrigerator with filtered water and an ice maker and a KitchenAid dishwasher. The kitchen island serves as the dining table and accommodates up to 4 people.

The comfortable living room has an expansive sectional sofa, 55” tv (wifi, cable, apple tv) and cozy gas fireplace.

The larger of the two bedrooms and a full bathroom are on the first floor. The primary bedroom and attached primary bath are on the second floor.

The private roof deck is a fantastic spot offering peek-a-boo ocean views, a fire pit, a comfy sectional sofa and chaise lounge chairs. It’s a great place for soaking up the sun or having a cocktail in the evening.

We also have a one bedroom/one bathroom listing for the front unit in the duplex- it’s a bright and sunny 700 sq ft apartment with a compact, yet complete kitchen, great little bathroom, bedroom with Cal King bed and also tons of built-in storage and a large private deck with BBQ. If you need that extra bedroom, or would prefer the additional privacy that an air mattress in the living room can’t offer, you may want to inquire with us about booking both places. Take a look at #4881700.

General Info:

Garage Parking: You will have use of the right side of the garage and may park 1 car. Although the garage is longer than most, it is narrow (only 18' wide) as many are in Newport Beach. Since you are sharing the garage with the guests of the other unit, please be very careful not to ding the other car next to yours. There is an arched garage door so large SUVs and pick-ups will not fit. For example, a Suburban, Escalade or a Tahoe are all too tall and too wide. Please do not try to make your car fit if you have one of these types of vehicles. They are not allowed in the garage. If your vehicle is a pick-up or a super large SUV, you will need to find on-street parking-that is not negotiable. If in doubt whether your vehicle is allowed in the garage, please contact me and I can let you know.

Beds: First floor bedroom has a Cal King bed. Second floor bedroom has an Eastern King bed. Twin airbed and Pack n Play available upon request.

Linens: Linens, blankets, pillows, bath towels, kitchen towels and beach towels are all provided.

Kitchen/Supplies: The kitchen is super well supplied with dishes, cookware, silverware, blender, toaster oven, slow cooker, a Keurig and lots of spices. We will supply some paper products to get your vacation started, however you may need to supplement or replenish the paper supplies during your stay. Also, bring your favorite K-cups for the Keurig! We will have some K-cups on hand for you but, if you’re a coffee lover, you’ll want to have more!

BBQ: Located just outside the kitchen door.

Extra Stuff: To help make your vacation extra special, bicycles, boogie boards, beach chairs, beach umbrellas, beach wagons, ice chest, corn hole boards, bocci balls and a surfboard are all available for your enjoyment. If the other unit has guests staying while you are there, the extra stuff will be available on a first come, first served basis. All amenities, extra stuff, is for the use of authorized guests only. Visitors are not allowed to make use of anything provided in the garage.

Laundry: A full size, stackable washer/dryer is located in the unit on the second floor. Laundry detergent and dryer sheets are provided.

Cell Phone Note: the cell coverage in this unit is sketchy, especially if you have Verizon. I actually switched to AT&T because of the lack of coverage here. You'll likely need to go outside or on the roof deck to make/receive calls if you have Verizon. One easy work-around is to hook up to our wifi while in the house and text/call over that. But I want to be sure all are aware of that possible concern.

    This is our second time staying at The Shack. This time we also rented the 1 bed/1 bath above the garage to accommodate our entire family. The location is the best - close to the beach, and walking distance to the grocery store and restaurants. The house is nicely updated, comfortable, clean, and has all the needed supplies. We love the roof top deck. We ate several meals up there and watched the sunset. The garage has everything you need for the beach including chairs, umbrellas, coolers, boogie boards, etc. And there were bikes available to use as well. Pam is a wonderful host. Don't hesitate to rent The Shack!

    We have been coming to Newport Beach for years and this is officially our favorite rental. Pam thought of tiny details that were so appreciated! From coffee to laundry detergent to beach equipment. We had a fabulous time relaxing and didn’t worry about a thing.

    We loved our stay at this home. Pam's communication is beyond incredible. The home is cute, clean and in an awesome location. We walked to everything. Beds are comfortable. The garage is packed with anything you might need - chairs, bikes, boogie boards, coolers, etc. We didn't do any cooking but it seemed very well-stocked. Upon arrival were some amazing cookies and a bottle of wine - so thoughtful. We would absolutely stay here again. 5-Stars!

    Our wonderful Vrbo visit to Newport Beach was made possible by the amazing accommodations we had at a lovely beach home its owners decidedly nicknamed tongue-in-cheek The Shack.Our check-in was smooth and easy. Upon entering the house we were greeted by a chalkboard message on the kitchen island welcoming us by name. Next to the chalkboard was a scrumptious pile of homemade chocolate chip cookies and a bottle of cab that our host, Pam left for our arrival. Her house had every amenity we could have ever asked for. The entire home is beautifully decorated, the kitchen fully equipped, and nice thoughtful touches everywhere. We visited in February so it was quite a treat to flip on the gas log fireplace to arrest the morning Newport Beach chill with a cup of coffee in hand. Soon later the sun would start to penetrate the clouds and burn off the fog signaling it was time to head up to the third-floor rooftop deck with a good book in hand for some rays, more coffee, and a leisurely morning under the sun. And by the way, the rooftop deck is also perfect for sunset happy hour with ample comfy seating, fire table, and a view towards the beach just a couple of blocks away. Yes, it was hard to check-out on our day of departure because we were totally in a SoCal groove and it was hard to say goodbye. But it really wasn’t a goodbye so much as it was see you again soon at The Shack.Jim & SuzanneIllinois

    This house was amazing! We had such a great time here and enjoyed everything about it. It was great having the bikes available and used them everyday. The space was great for my husband and two adult daughters. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and it was the perfect place. He loved sitting on the beach and it was nice that it was so close! The owners provided a list of restaurants and we visited many of them. We would love to come back again!!

    We are repeat renters and this is our favorite place to call home for vacation. The location is perfect situated just a few blocks from the beach, grocery store and restaurants. Pam and Jimmy offer all the amenities for a fun beach vacation. The home is impeccably clean and comfortable. We love having dinner on the roof top deck after a day at the beach. We can’t wait to return the next time we visit Newport Beach.

    Everything about our experience with Pam went far beyond our expectations. Her home was immaculate, excellent location, and with the upsrairs balcony we almost could have never left to enjoy our time on the beach. But, having grown up here, everything about our NB time was also amazing. Came in white and pale... left golden tan!! Thank you so much Pam. Hope to get down to stay again soon. p/s Pam your chocolate chip cookies and gift basket was top notch.
