Cappuccino & Sea Breeze

Vaulted ceilings and a fireplace anchor a light-filled living room that opens onto a front patio with room for alfresco dining and evening drinks long after the sun dips. Bikes, boogie boards, and a beach wagon are on hand for the short trip to the water, while Lido Village's waterfront bars and restaurants are practically at the door. Newport Harbor is a thirty-four-minute walk, Balboa Island's promenade and shops are an eleven-minute drive, and Balboa Peninsula's classic Southern California shoreline is twelve minutes by car – more than enough to fill the day.

Home truths:
* The garage fits two cars, but a second vehicle will need street parking – spaces can be hard to come by, so it's worth having a plan if you're arriving with more than one car.
* Hen and stag parties are strictly not allowed at this home.
* 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.
* A 10pm noise curfew is strictly enforced by Newport Beach Police here.
