Beachfront holiday rental in Newport Bay

We stayed at the Dana’s Ocean View residence in Huntington Beach for several days in early May 2025. We brought our small pup hoping to find a location that was close to the beach and near restaurants and stores. Its proximity to so many places within walking distance means we can spend more time staying active and exploring places nearby. After long days of fun and sun, the back patio with a fire pit and grill meant we could relax outside while the ocean breeze rolled in. The residence itself was clean and well maintained. We would spend time here again without hesitation. Thank you Dana for allowing us to stay here!

Beautiful and peaceful casita, easy access to resort restaurants and hikes. Had the best time!

We loved this place! The location was amazing, just minutes from the beach & walkable to great shopping and restaurants. Host was very responsive with any questions we had. We would definitely recommend this property.

Loved the location on the peninsula. We were able to walk to the beach, to restaurants and really enjoyed being able to use the rooftop deck. Beds were super comfortable and the place was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. It was very helpful also to have the garage for our car and e-bikes since parking is such a challenge in that area. Appreciated our host being available for any questions on arrival and throughout our stay. Hope to visit again!

My family and I have an amazing stay here in this beautiful home. Kristi was so quick with responses to any questions. We will definitely be returning.

This place was perfect for our family! My husband always has a difficult time sleeping away from home, but he didn’t have trouble sleeping here! The beds are super comfortable, along with the linens, pillows, etc. We were able to get great use out of the wagon and boogie boards. I loved the location; we walked to the beach in under 10min, walked to the grocery store, and of course my husband enjoyed his morning walk to Starbucks every morning. The kitchen had a beautiful gas stove where we enjoyed cooking every night. Greg, I can’t thank you enough for our best family trip yet!!!

The PERFECT place!! Location. Location. Location. Clean. Responsive. Well stocked kitchen. Comfortable beds. It had it all. Parking for 2nd vehicle was a challenge but really not that bad. Neighborhood was super safe and plenty to do and walking distance. Truly amazing in every way. Highly recommend.

Hidden gem right here and I am torn between telling everyone I know about it or keeping it a secret! I loved Laguna before, but staying in Mark’s place has really made me enjoy and love it even more! Staying here and not in a hotel made it feel like home and to be able to walk the neighborhood and walk down to the beach every morning has truly made this an incredible trip! I can’t wait to come back!

This unit within Hamilton Cove has been our best vacation yet. The views from the balcony were stunning. The entire unit felt clean and was very spacious for me and my now wife. The golf kart was a plus - it was a short 5-8 minute ride into downtown. Hosts were responsive. Definitely will be coming back to stay here again!!

We had a wonderful visit. The view was absolutely amazing! It reminded me of Santorini, Greece. My daughters said the view from your home was their favorite part of their trip too! Close to town but felt far away…Thank you!!

We were celebrating my mom’s 80th birthday. Girls trip. The place was amazing! So very beautiful. The furnishings,like the dining table and table in the living room also the headboards in both bedrooms were spectacular! The views were awesome from every room. Our local contact person was Ana and she was very helpful during our stay, especially the night we locked ourselves out on the patio!! She rushed right over and was very nice to us , when she could’ve been irritated with our interruption of her evening. But she greeted us with a beautiful smile and kindness. The location is great, we liked being the short distance from the main shopping and restaurants. It was just a short golf cart ride to get there, but far enough away to feel relaxing and peaceful at the day’s end. All in all we couldn’t have asked for a better place. Im so glad I found it

Catalina island is an absolutely beautiful place to visit. I've been a few times but this time we decided to stay for bday and mother's day for my wife and our two children. Steven's place is absolutely perfect. it sits in a prime location in Hamilton Cove high enough up to get a great breeze and close enough for peek-a-boo views of the ocean. The stairs can be a little much but not nearly as bad as other units as our 3 and a 5 yr old seem to handle it fine and really its to park the cart which was a life saver. My kids loved traveling the island on the cart and looked forward to sitting in the front to watch all the action. The place is exactly as the pictures show and the unit is very comfortable with a beach home feel. we loved our stay and look forward to coming back. Host was super nice and very responsive making our stay a perfect getaway from the hustle of daily life.

Location was great! Villa was beautiful and very comfortable for our family. We will stay here again.

Tiffany is an incredible host. She is easy to communicate with and was proactive informing you of what to expect, easy instructions both checking in and out, as well as recommendations. She answered any questions I had in a timely matter to. The golf cart is a great addition as well to easily get to Avalon. Bottom line up front everything was very simple so that my girlfriend and I were able to fully enjoy our stay on the island. The villa was beautiful just like the pictures. It was very clean, comfortable, and welcoming. I highly recommend booking with Tiffany at her villa in Hamilton Cove. Just a heads up if you’re going to eat on the balcony don’t leave any food unattended for a second or the birds will swoop it. They’re watching and waiting for an opportunity. Happened to me lol. Thank you again Tiffany for making our trip so much easier to enjoy.

The place was beautiful! There was an amazing view. The place was nice and cozy, the perfect place to relax and soak in the view. The poo and hot tub was also very convenient.

We had an amazing stay! The resort offered so many activities, beautiful pools, and was just steps from the ocean. Everything was gorgeous, both inside and out. The room was clean, well-stocked, and had everything we needed. Bethany was wonderful — easy to communicate with, very helpful, and always responsive. Any small needs we had were quickly taken care of by the resort staff as well. It was truly a perfect vacation. We would absolutely love to come back!

The property is just as described. Great location. Responsive host. Thank you.

sweet little studio near the beach

Good location, close to restaurants and shopping. A short walk to the beach. This place was absolutely spotless. VERY CLEAN!! Loved the patio area. Having the garage with washer & dryer was a big convenience. Upon arrival, Patti greeted us & made sure we had everything we needed. Great stay.

Location, location, location!! We loved our stay at this airbnb in Newport Beach. Being right on the sand just a few blocks from the pier and so many restaurants and shops was such fun. I worried about privacy with so many people walking, jogging, biking etc right past our front sliding doors - but I realized the glass is mirrored, so during the day no one can see in. At night there are full shades - so privacy was not a problem. The apartment looked just like the photos. It was very clean and had everything we needed despite how small it was. The hosts were very helpful and responsive. Great to have garage parking - but beware - it's a small spot. I would definitely stay here again.

Great location - for proximity to beach and value for money this can't be beat. Kitchen was well stocked but also tidy - so much keurig usage (thank you!) plenty of bath and beach towels, cozy fireplace, and very nicely sized master suite upstairs in main house. For a family and in laws this is PERFECT.

Everything was absolutely perfect! The location is perfect! My family had so much fun here! Walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops, bike rentals and is right on the beach. Everyone in the area is friendly, happy, and polite. Jeannie's place is equipped with all of the essentials needed to stay comfortably. There are extra blankets, towels, beach sport equipment and an ice chest to borrow if needed. The kitchen is updated & had everything we needed to cook and prepare meals. We will definitely book again in the future. Our host Danica was sweet and responsive. Our stay was amazing and we were all sad to leave. We will definitely book again.

Spotless, beach home in prime location and a responsive host. Couldn’t ask for a better, more accommodating property/ host. We had a wonderful time & had everything we needed.highly recommend& we will definitely be coming back soon!

It was a nice apartment at a great location. Had only a queen bed which was listed so that was on us. It was well stocked. The location was the highlight! Balboa Island is so peaceful, dog friendly and lovely to walk around. Whether just on the boardwalk around the island or into town- this apartment is ideal!
