Summary:
This quaint 2 bedroom, 2 bath beach bungalow is located just 9 houses from sand. It has a large sun porch and outdoor patio with a BBQ. A spacious living and dining area.

There are two full bathrooms, one with a walk-in shower and the other with a tub-shower combination. There is 1 parking spot on the street behind the home
The Space:
This value original Craftsman cottage on the corner of Balboa and 30th Street was built in 1923 and has been charming visitors ever since! One block from the beach and walking distance to the Newport Pier, shops, eateries and groceries, you won't have to move the car once you park (except for the street sweeper).
The vintage and rustic cottage has original hardwood floors throughout. The living room is airy and comfortable and has a sleeper sofa for an extra guest. The dining room has a beautiful hardwood table that seats 6. The kitchen has a dual sink, oven, stove top, microwave, coffee maker, refrigerator and cute breakfast nook with built-in seating. The home does not have a washer or dryer, but the local laundromat is just across the street. This home is original from the 30's with no frills or updates but priced for location to the beach.
Bedrooms are compact, as the home was built to serve as a beach house getaway back in the day. The first bedroom has a queen bed, the second has two twins. There are two full bathrooms, one with a walk-in shower and the other with a tub-shower combination.
The sun room is the perfect spot to curl up with a good book. The front patio has a table that seats four and a charcoal BBQ, great for grilling up family favorites.
The garage is used to store bikes, surfboards and other beach gear. One parking space is available on Balboa Boulevard parallel to the garage door (except during street sweeping).
The location below the 28th St Jetty is convenient for exploring the area on foot or by bicycle. The Newport Pier is a quick stroll away with shops and local eateries galore. The grocery store is a quick trip away at 32nd St with more shops and restaurants. The newly renovated Lido Marina Village with its high-end restaurants and boutiques is a few minutes beyond. You can rent an electric boat to tool around the harbor or enjoy a meal with bay views.

Great location!
Great time and cozy house. Very charming. I was disappointed about not having a washer dryer but the laundromat across the street is great and clean. Parking was not a problem this time of the year.

This piece of history was so quaint. Felt like stepping back in time with the light fixture yet amenities for the modern day. We walked everywhere. The location is perfect for all of the amazing spots Newport offers.
Don’t forget to Bring your own towels for the beach. Burr white was so wonderful and professional and answered the phone with all my questions. We will be back for sure!

Awesome Location
The Burr White Realty Staff were an absolute pleasure to work with - they were flexible with us when we had to switch our travel dates due to having a sick kid. The location of this rental was hard to beat as there was everything you need within walking distance, even a grocery store! We also had a parking spot right in front of the garage which was so convenient.

Great little house for my husband and my vacation to Newport Beach.
Walking distance to beach, shopping, restaurants, including 24 hour doughnuts, grocery store. Great sun room and front porch to sit on. There is some road noise, but you’re at the beach 😊 As the management company will tell you, pay attention to the street signs and street sweeping days, they are all different.

Quaint and lovely beach house
We Loved our stay!! If you are looking for modern this is not the place for you. We LOVED the quaint feel and cozy atmosphere of this 1930's beach house. It has lots of room, is super close to the beach, and was a wonderful stay!! All our needs were met, and we will stay again.

Super charming historic house in a great location!
We loved staying here and would definitely come back again! Not sure if it had been booked in a while though, because did not appear to have been recently cleaned or at least not cleaned thoroughly and was very stuffy when we arrived. Nothing that would keep us from staying again though. It is in a great location near grocery shopping, beach, boardwalk and the pier.

Spacious cottage; Perfect location.
Our family of six LOVED our stay at this house. It was a short walk past a few other houses to the beach. No streets to cross. The porch was great for rinsing off, the house has lots of windows for air flow so we were able to keep it cool enough even in August. There were a lot of options for lounging, gathering, and eating—several couches and chairs, benches, two full size indoor tables, porch seating, etc. We also loved that there were two good-sized bathrooms with nice showers. The house is old, probably 1920’s era, so everything has several layers of paint, but the windows are new. I liked the original hardwood floors, built-in china cabinets, solid wood doors, and other original touches that evoke the historical Newport Beach appeal. The rental agency was great to work with, sent lots of helpful info prior to our trip and even called us the day of to offer an early check in since the house was ready a few hours early. Everything we needed was within a block or two—grocery store, surf shop, several restaurants. All in all a wonderful experience and we would stay there again!

Beach bungalow
We had a great week! The house is open, great porch, amazing location and plenty of room. The bedrooms are small With no storage space so it was hard to get organized. It could use some updates and extras (fans (bc it was hot), towels More than 1 per person for the week, utensils, inside could use a paint Job- those are some suggestions . I Was so thankful for 2 parking spots! My car is small so it did fit in garage (barely) but grateful. I would stay here again as we really enjoyed our week!
