About this property

Cozy Cottage by the Beach...Steps to the Sand

Location Location Location! This cozy lower level DUPLEX is just a short block from the sand in one of the most beautiful beaches in all of Southern California. We are just 8 houses from the beach at 127 41st Street on the beach side of Balboa! We are on the corner of Balboa and 41st Street and just blocks from the Newport Pier, Pavillions grocery store, all the fine dining restaurants, and the basketball courts.
The home has a great private patio in the front for entertaining or just enjoying the sun. The family room has high ceilings with a ceiling fan, a gas fireplace, bright windows which make it great place to relax after a hard day at the beach or Disneyland. The kitchen is fully stocked and all floors are tile & wood.
The Master Bedroom has one Queen bed and the second bedroom has one twin bed and bunk beds. There is a two-car garage with one spot in the garage and one in the rear. The complimentary, shared washer & dryer are inside the garage.
By staying at our place you can enjoy the many activities that the Newport Beach Peninsula has to offer. You can enjoy surfing, boogie boarding, sailing, power boat rentals, Catalina Island cruises, Whale watching tours, parasailing, fun zone rides and arcade, and the World Famous 'Wedge' where some of the biggest body surfing waves in the world can be found.
Other attractions within a short drive are Disneyland and California Adventure Park, Hollywood, Universal Studios, Knott's Berry Farm, Sea World, San Diego Zoo, Long Beach Aquarium, Queen Mary, Spruce Goose, and many more. And ladies don't forget to visit South Coast Plaza and Fashion Island for the fabulous shopping!

Listing doesn’t do this house justice.
This was such a cute place to stay, the listing pictures don’t do the house justice. Everything was clean and well maintained. It was also very kid friendly. The house is close to the beach, our 6 year old and 2 year old twins had no problem walking by themselves there and back, so we didn’t need to carry them or bring the stroller. Alex and Mark are lovely and easy to communicate with.

Great Stay
We had an amazing girl's trip! The location can't be beat, just a block from the beach. Three of us fit comfortably (there are bunk beds in one room so it would fit a family with kids well), the kitchen and bathroom are beautifully updated, there's are several nice outdoor seating areas, and garage parking. Communication was great with the owners and check in was simple. Would love to stay again!

Close to the beach, cozy and updated. Bunk mattress could have been firmer, better for pre-teens, but nice to have separate twin bed in same room.

About the host

Hosted by Alexandra and Mark McClory

Host profile image
For us Newport Beach is home. We had our first date at Charlie's Chili on the Newport Beach Pier. I grew up in Mission Viejo, so Newport was my backyard on the weekends. I loved coming down here and riding bikes and staying on the beach to finish off our day with a beautiful sunset. After college in San Francisco, I moved back, and made Newport my home.
My husband, Mark, originally from Scotland, moved to Newport from Chicago in 2004, after we dated long distance for 4 years! Needless to say he fell in love with Newport in a heart beat. The rental was our first home. We lived upstairs while renting the downstairs and later moved to a lovely neighborhood right around the corner.
We now love hosting and meeting the families that come and stay at our lovely place
