About this property

The Sand Castle - Beachfront House- Plenty of Outdoor Space- Oceanfront

  • Beautifully kept and upgraded luxury oceanfront dream home. This home boasts upgraded appliances, large master soaking tub, high ceilings, two car garage, private upper and lower front patios, Weber BBQ, large flat screen TVs, incredible views, beach toys, bikes, games and much more. Take five steps out the front door to get to the beach or enjoy the sun from your own private patio. There is no noisy boardwalk in front of this home so your relaxing time won't be interrupted by people passing by. Enjoy watching the surfers or the sunset from you enclosed and covered balcony.

    Centrally located near restaurants, bars, grocery stores, bike, kayak, paddle board and boat rentals, two piers and the world famous beach break, The Wedge. This home embodies the Newport Beach life style and way of living.

    On the first floor you have two bedrooms and one and half bath. There is a inside living room that opens up to a private patio right on the beach. The upstairs has the large master bedroom with a large hotel style bathroom. The upgraded kitchen sits next to another living room that has tall glass windows with a view of the beach and Newport Pier. The living room also opens up to a large covered balcony with a BBQ connected to a natural gas line. Two car garage with two public meter parking spots next to the residence.

    This is a single family home so you get to enjoy the entire property.

    Some things to know:

    This home has central heat and AC.

    Two car garage parking with additional space behind as long as you don't block the bike bath. A Tahoe can fit on one side and smaller car can fit on the other. A larger vehicle will fit behind the garage if you park close.

    There are 4 working beach cruisers with 2 bike locks.

    We start the home with a 'starter pack' of paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags and laundry detergent. Beyond that, you will need to pick some up from the store.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beach house. The location could not have been better, with the home sitting right on the beach and offering beautiful ocean views throughout the day. It was so relaxing to step outside and be just moments from the sand and water.The home itself was very comfortable and well maintained. Everything felt clean, thoughtfully arranged, and welcoming, which made it easy to settle in right away. It truly felt like a home away from home.Check in was simple and seamless. The property manager was fantastic to work with, very responsive, helpful, and made sure we had everything we needed for a great stay.Overall, this was a five star experience from start to finish. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing beachfront getaway.

Excellent location on 37th Street beachfront. Primarily upstairs unit with downstairs access to the beach. Easy communication, beach chairs and some kitchen amenities available. No Bluetooth speaker on site so bring your own. Patio furniture was outdated and cushions and metal frames were in bad condition. There is a garage and adjacent parking that does need to be paid for. Overall good property

Host interaction was wonderful. All questions were answered quickly. Whenever I needed help he was so responsive. House is in a beautiful location. It’s nice that it’s a few blocks away from the path to town. Easy to get to the path but more quiet. Views are amazing. The house needs an update. The kitchen is nice. The downstairs has old furniture, broken blinds, old and rusty outdoor furniture. It was just a lot of little things that add up to a house that needs some TLC.
View down beach to South.

Beautiful Home/Great Locaation!

This home has it all! Beautiful, great location and has everything you would want for a great beach vacation. It isn’t a typical rental house… if feels like you are staying at your own vacation home! Jason was easy to work with and very quick to respond. Looking forward to coming back!

Great Spot!!

This property was clean and had everything you would need to be at the beach. The location was great for my family as we have 3 kids under 3 and didn’t want to be right on the strand with a bunch of people walking by. The property backs right up to the sand and is only about a 15 minute walk from the pier and lots of places to eat. The balcony was huge (especially compared to the houses around it). Will definitely stay here again in the future!!

Fabulous home.

We absolutely loved our stay. Fabulous location. Great views. Right on the sand but away from the chaos of the pier area. Not on the boardwalk but very close. Lovely home with great amenities. Bikes, toys, chairs, beach blankets all for guest use. Host is quick to respond and very helpful. We brought our niece and her BF. Master bedroom, kitchen and main living area is upstairs. Two beds and two baths downstairs. We all loved that we could hang out upstairs together and also have our private areas to go to. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Do bring your bathroom supplies and some extra TP as there is one roll supplied per bathroom.

Ideal in every way

We did a fair amount of research and talked to people who have vacationed in Newport and the Sand Castle met or exceeded our requirements. First of all the location is perfect - on the beach but far enough from the hub bub of the Newport Beach Pier as to not have constant traffic both foot and auto. Next, having a two car garage was great because parking on the street may be problematic in high season. Four bikes and other toys are a great addition. New and upgraded interior and appliances along with barbecue. Most important Jason was beyond responsive. Could not ask for a better host.

Location of property was terrific...right on beach -- and while the property was once built to high specifications with nice appliances and new bathrooms etc, the issue of maintainance was sad indeed. Many of the items in the house did not work properly, outside furniture cushions etc were literally threadbare with the stuffing exposed on every single cushion. Patio furniture on the upper level was nearly non existent with the table not of a patio variety, but literally the kind of folding table you could buy at Staples for office use. Probably the most cringy thing looking back on our trip was the fact that the dishwasher while operational required a phone call to figure out how to make it actually work. A call to the property manager elicited a response including a text showing me how the panel should look for it to work....He also indicated he should probably have printed out instructions.....this means that the dishes that were washed by the previous guest (when we arrived, all of the dishwasher detergent remained in the dishwasher --- wet but unused and not dissolved) which means we were using utensils and dishes not thoroughly washed and not by people in our family, but by perfect strangers. Garage was filled with lots of items (some junk, some not working) almost to the detriment of being able to park. A careful editing of some of these items would make for a much nicer experience. Location unbeatable, but many factors in the stay could have been vastly improved.
