Beautiful romantic hideaway for two or cozy cottage for four. This is our home that we rent to new friends when we are away a week or a month. Our home is furnished in keeping with the 1920 beach cottage genre. We are located in the historic village of Corona del Mar. It is one block from Newport Bay and three blocks from the Corona Del Mar beaches, plus within walking distance of children's parks and the village restaurants. Fashion Island is just a mile away.
Our home does have a ring doorbell in the front of the house by the front door as well as two cameras. One in the front and one in the back yard for security purposes.
When guests are there the speakers are off.

This property is a restored 1927 'kit home' that you could order from the Sears catalog and construct in a weekend, of course it wasn't. It is lovely and private and has one thousand square feet with a living room, dining room, 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. A full bath and a half bath. The main bedroom has a queen size bed and the second bedroom has TWO twin beds. All linens are provided, with down comforters and pillows, as well as all your towels. The living room has a sofa bed.

I know you don't want to cook, but if you do, the kitchen is updated with all the modern conveniences to assist the gourmet cook in you and still has the vintage vibe with a vintage Chambers stove. Several markets, including Bristol Farms, Trader Joe's and Pavilions are close . We have a charcoal barbecue in the front yard for private outdoor dining. The plumbing, electricity and heating are new and updated . Because of a hotter than normal summer last year, we have added Air Conditioning in both bedrooms. A front loading washer and dryer is in the garage for the use of our guests and tenants.

In case there is an allergy problem in your family , we do have down comforters and pillows, this may not be for you.....

    Excellent location. Close walking/biking distance to restaurants, shops, beach, park. Very cozy and well stocked. The description of cluttered grandma’s beach shack was accurate and honest. It is an old property, with lots of personal items. The restroom was new and everything else was acceptable. We had access to bikes, beach chairs, umbrellas, and much of what you would need for a beach vacation. Street parking was never an issue during our stay. Owner was very nice and responsive. Would definitely go there again.

    Excellent Corona del Mar location. Very quick walk to beach. Super quiet, even on New Year's Eve!Just a note- this cottage does not have an en-suite bathroom. Wasn't an issue for us but might be for some.

    Located on a quaint street with lovely homes, the vintage cottage’s original Chambers range and kitchen cabinets took me back to a more peaceful time. The new sink and dishwasher were perfect for the space. A cook will love this kitchen! Renovated with care and attention to convenience, the bathrooms had quality fixtures that fit in with the historic charm. The rooms are small but well furnished, and storage space is adequate. Literally everything you need for an enjoyable time in Newport Beach is provided, and we did not have time to take advantage of everything. We loved it!

    We had wonderful mid-September beach weather and enjoyed outdoor meals throughout our stay. This is not a sterile rental but a family home. It reminded me of my CDM grandmother's home in many ways. Great shower with great water pressure! Lots of homey touches.

    This is a cottage built sometime ago and modernized over time so that it is quite livable and charming. There is no a/c but it's located in line with ocean breezes and is comfortable.The cottage is on the cul de sac end of Dahlia Street and is private and quiet. Both downtown shopping, restaurants and the beach are within walking distance. As a result, except for visits to Laguna Beach and the state park on the way, we walked which is generally our preference.

    My wife and I and our Son stayed at the yellow cottage for about 5 days. It is a wonderful place and we had a great time. We didn't cook while we were there, but there is everything you need if you wanted to. We were all impressed with this nice little cottage and it's location is excellent. Close enough for a short walk to several beaches. We were able to park close every day. We would definitely rent again - the owners were wonderful with great communication.

    This cottage was perfect for our trip to Newport Beach. Just a short walk to a gorgeous beach or to restaurants, coffee, or anything else you may need. Quiet, safe, and comfortable. Exactly what we needed. The hosts were quick to answer any questions and very helpful.

    My family (me, my wife, and daughter) have been staying here for over 10 years, since my daughter was very young. It feels like our second home. It is very clean and comfortable. It's well decorated and has all the amenities, including a new half-bathroom. It has a relatively small footprint, so don't stay if you are looking for something big, but it is SO cute and charming. It is also a quick 1 minute walk to the beach, which is great. Sherry, the owner is a wonderful host and nice person.

    We own the house next door, and this is this is the first time I've been inside the little yellow house that I've seen my whole life. We rented the place to stay as we came in from out of town for my mom's celebration of life. We had many family and friends gather this weekend to share memories of the past 3 generations of time living on Dahlia. This weekend was a special time for us.

    Charming yellow vintage cottage. It’s an older small home but a such a gem. There was 4 of us (2 adults and 2 children under 12) staying and it was just right. We felt comfortable and at home. -Great location in a beautifully manicured, safe neighbourhood -A short 12-wminute walk to the beach and to restaurants and shops -Comfy, quality bedding -Clean and well stocked and all the appliances worked well -Easy parking out front -Turf grass front yard was a bonus for early morning home yoga or soaking up the rays -Sherrie was so responsive, friendly and accomodating. Thank you so much for an excellent stay! We will definitely return.

    We had a wonderful time reuniting with family in the yellow cottage. So full of of charm and a very welcoming, homey, nostalgic energy about it. Even my husband loved it, and he doesn’t like anything! Sherry is a gracious host, quick to respond and accommodating. Thank you for sharing your lovely beach home with us!
