Sand at Your Feet

Sand is quite literally at your doorstep here – step off the terrace and you're on Newport Beach, with the Pacific stretching out in front of you. The deck is made for long evenings, with an outdoor fireplace for when the coastal air cools and a barbecue for cooking alfresco with the sound of the waves nearby. Inside, the living room brings a playful, retro warmth that makes coming back from the beach enjoyable. Free on-site parking keeps arrivals easy, and the whole setup suits families well.

Home truths:
* You're a short walk from restaurants, shops, and the main beach strip – guests have found most things reachable on foot within a couple of minutes.
* You'll have your own private entrance here, keeping your comings and goings entirely separate.
* While there's no air conditioning here, your host can provide fans for the warmer months.
* The lead guest must be at least 26 years old.
* Depending on the time of your visit, your host may be able to offer a variety of complimentary experiences to enhance your stay, such as kayak and paddleboard rentals, harbour cruises, electric boat rentals, e-bike rentals and whale watching excursions. Speak with your host to find out more and confirm availability.
