About this property

Super Nice Beach Place -Large Private Deck- Garage Parking-1 block to beach

The front unit of a duplex, this upstairs unit is an exceptionally clean, open concept, bright and sunny 1 bedroom private apartment located in one of the most desirable areas of the Balboa Peninsula - 35th Street! Just 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, the grocery store and shopping!

This beach property is an ideal getaway for a couple but with air mattresses set up in the living room, allows sleeping for up to 4 people (although 4 adults may find it tight). We also have a Pack n Play available upon request.

The kitchen is compact but has everything you need including beautiful quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances with microwave, gas range, Bosch dishwasher and European style refrigerator.

The bedroom is furnished with a Cal King bed and Tommy Bahama furniture and has tons of built-in cabinetry for storage.

The bathroom is small but has a great shower (no tub). Soap, shampoo, conditioner and other essentials are provided.

There is a large private deck off of the bedroom with a Weber gas BBQ, comfortable swivel rocker chairs, chaise lounge chairs and a gas fire pit for relaxing after a long day at the beach.

This unit does not have air conditioning. It generally cools down very nicely at night so sleeping is comfortable with the ocean breeze. We have a standup fans stored in the hall closet should you feel the need to pull them out.

We also have a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom listing for the back unit on this property - beautifully furnished, cozy gas fireplace, gorgeous kitchen, great bathrooms, roof deck and air conditioning. If you have a larger party or just want more space, you may inquire with us or take a look at #4881260. The back unit can sleep a maximum of 5 people.

General Info:

Garage Parking: You will have use of the left 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. If in doubt whether your vehicle is allowed in the garage, please contact me and I can let you know. The rule is not negotiable.

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

Kitchen/Supplies: The kitchen is well supplied with dishes, cookware, silverware, blender, toaster oven, a Keurig coffee maker and many 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 a few K-cups on hand for you but, if you’re a coffee lover, you’ll want to have more! The refrigerator is small but more than adequate. It’s full height but only 24” wide and 24” deep. The freezer is on the bottom section and it does not have an ice maker. There are ice cube trays. If you need to fill a cooler with ice, your best bet is to walk over to the grocery store which is a couple of blocks away and buy a bag.

Living/Dining Area: Bright and comfortably furnished living room with a 50” Roku TV, cable and wifi included. A cozy little electric fireplace can be used with or without the heat feature so you can enjoy the ambience year round. The dining table comfortably seats 4 and there are two bar stools at the kitchen counter bar.

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: The washer/dryer in the garage is for your private use. Detergent and dryer sheets are provided.

Home Sweet Home
Highly recommended. Very comfortable and convenient. Pam is so attentive and responsive. When we thought we had a WIFI problem, she quickly responded and checked in on us taking the time to see if anything needed to be reset. Turned out it was our mistake in unplugging something because we needed an extra outlet. We were welcomed like family with cookies and wine! Will be back to stay.

Perfect. Better than Expected!! Free Cookies!!!
My wife and I came to Newport for a short weekend get away and the The Shack was perfect. Everything was as described in the listing, and Pam even had delicious cookies waiting for us when we arrived. Such a nice touch. I really like cookies. We spent most of our time at the beach, which is just a few steps away. Having access to bikes, beach towels, beach chairs and other supplies was great, too. Oh, and they also had cookies. Chocolate Chip. We rode bikes, jogged on the boardwalk, enjoyed the sunset, tried Malibu Farms restaurant, and Handels ice cream. And though the ice cream was nice, it wasn't as good as the cookies. Thanks, Pam for being such a great host.

The Shack continues to be a perfect place for the two of us to take a vacation. Its proximity to the ocean is ideal, as is all you can do within walking distance. The owners keep the property immaculately and filled with amenities. We have been here for four years now and will come back again.

Light, bright, & close to the beach!!!
We loved our stay here!!!! It is especially AMAZING if your group is lucky enough to book both sides of the duplex. We borrowed games from the 2 BR unit and played them at the dining table in the 1 BR unit! We loved having the windows open to the beach breezes! We also loved having breakfast on our deck off of the bedroom! Bikes, boogie boards, beach chairs, beach umbrella, & a wagon to transport everything to the beach was such a great BONUS!!! And the cookies upon arrival were a delicious & welcoming touch!!! Thanks Pam & Jimmy!!! PS We were super thankful for easy walking access to restaurants & grocery store!

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!
My husband and I came to Newport for our 2 yr anniversary and we couldn’t have picked a more perfect place to stay! Pam and Jimmy are the perfect hosts and the home was immaculate. The location couldn’t have been better for walkability to great food and the beach! The home and garage are very well equipped with everything you need for your stay. If you like clam chowder, you have to try Hook & Anchor (right down the street). Best clam chowder we’ve ever had. We couldn’t have asked for a better location or better hosts!

Pam and Jimmy had so many nice extra touches to make you feel welcomed. The check-in process was easy and communicated well in advance of our arrival. Thanks for everything! If we travel to Newport Beach again, we will definitely stay here.

Perfect for Two
I can't say how much my wife and I enjoyed staying at "The Shack." Pam and Jim are wonderful hosts and we felt welcome the moment we walked in the door. Check in was super easy, and communication was great. From the well-equipped kitchen to the bikes, beach chairs and coolers in the garage, there wasn't one thing we needed. Plus, Pavillions is a great little grocery store two blocks away, which made eating in a breeze. We traveled to Newport from Pittsburgh, and we will definitely stay there again. Oh, and did I mention it's a one-block walk to the beach. Clean, modern and cozy. We loved it!!!!

Pam was an excellent host! Lovely place, well thought out with all that we needed. It made our stay very comfortable & cozy. The garage was stocked with anything you could need for fun on the beach. Rented a smaller car to fit in the garage which was so perfect as parking can be difficult. Had a wonderful time with so much to do in the area. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Relaxing respite from the real world
Beautiful beach home that truly felt like a home away from home. The home was equipped with speakers, chargers, condiments and silly things you might forget when packing for your vacation. Pam and Jimmy were very hospitable. If you don’t know how to vacation at the beach, they have you covered. We used their beach umbrella and games. It was great fun. They do provide everything, including bicycles for your beach stay.

The Shack is a place you look forward to returning to after a day at the beach, which makes it an integral part of your Newport experience. It’s cozy, airy (with its big windows) and inviting. And it’s super close to just about everything, including a grocery store and (most importantly) the beach. You can hear the waves crashing at night after the traffic dies down. Looking forward to staying here again.

Pam is hands down the best hostess we’ve ever had with any rental. She cares very much about her properties and her guests which is quite clear in her attention to detail. We loved the location - so close to everything - the beach, grocery store, shopping, restaurants, etc. The garage has the best selection of beach toys, chairs, umbrellas, bikes. Anything and everything you could possibly dream up, Pam has it. Perfect family vacay!

Why they chose this property

In 2000, we had rented a place for a year on 34th Street while our home was being built in North Tustin. My husband, who always loved the beach, fell further in love with this area and the idea of someday owning a vacation home on the peninsula. We thought it would be amazing to be able to stay down here on weekends and offer a great vacation spot to our friends and family.

We finally had the opportunity to purchase something in Newport Beach at the end of 2011 and were excited when this property came on the market. There were two units on the property at that time, both of them very "shack-like" and the back shack was by far the grungiest. But we had a vision for what could be done with the place! We kept everything as it was for a few years and then did a humongous remodel in 2016 which included knocking down the back shack completely and building a completely new, from the ground up, home. We also stripped the front shack down to the studs and built that from scratch with all new electrical, plumbing, insulation, windows, flooring, appliances……the works!! We and our friends and family continue to fondly refer to our place as "The Shack" and "The Back Shack". They are two of the most gorgeous "shacks" you will ever see! Until now, we've used the property solely as a weekend place for ourselves and friends and family. We still plan to stay as often as possible in either shack when they are available. We hope you enjoy staying in our home as much as we do!!!
