About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A short walk to the beach, shopping, and dining!

Rare + Special Freestanding Cottage:
Very Rare and Highly Sought-After Vacation Cottage in CDM coming back online after being rented to a long-term tenant. Walk to the beach, area parks, fabulous local restaurants and world-class shopping. This is one of a handful of detached, stand-alone cottages in the entire village.

Outstanding Location!
Nestled on the south side of PCH this 1BR/1BA includes an oversized 1-car garage which can accommodate an SUV. Ready for your stay - the property includes reverse osmosis water for drinking, a lovely outside patio for reading or dining including a veranda with string lights for enjoying those ocean breezes.

Lots of Amenities:
The property includes high speed internet, cable TV and Netflix for those days when you don't want to head out. Recently upgraded and renovated with granite counter tops, wood floors throughout, marble 3/4 bath with dual shower heads and seat.

Added Space:
The downstairs space off the garage has its own private entrance. If you decide to bring your own bikes this is a good spot for them.

Outside Covered 20' Balcony:
Upstairs balcony with outside ceiling fans perfect for entertaining and enjoying dinner outside on gorgeous summer days. Perfect for professionals who wish to have all that this beach community has to offer within walking distance to the best restaurants, shops, and experiences in Corona Del Mar and Balboa Island.

Dog-Friendly:
We are a dog friendly place and need to disclose your furry friend when making your reservation. A dog fee applies. Just bring your toothbrush and clothes and you're ready to go!

Comfortable:
Super comfortable bed, sofa, wine fridge, Smart TV with Soundbar for outstanding audio. Comes with stainless steel appliances including fridge, stove, microwave, and dishwasher. Also includes indoor washer/dryer.

WE DO NOT OFFER PRIVATE VIEWINGS OF OUR PROPERTIES. WE HAVE A POLICY OF NOT DISTURBING OUR STAYING/PAYING GUESTS. WE ALSO HAVE A 90% BOOKING RATE. OUR PHOTOS REPRESENT OUR PROPERTY WELL. THANK YOU KINDLY FOR UNDERSTANDING...

*** Please note: we are in a lovely beach community with expensive land value. We have been seeing an uptick in area construction projects and, in fairness, are not charging $500/night like many others in our beautiful village are doing. We have been assured the neighbor project will not be doing any work over the weekends.

We hope you continue to enjoy the community and all of the beautiful places to explore, including world-class shopping, dining, hiking, and of course, our glorious California Coast!

The Pros (... and there are many!!!)
1. Immaculate, High Quality Furnishings, A/C
2. Private, Romantic
(It is quiet, snugly and very secure in our special compound created from this refurbished 1940's bungalow cottage home. When built it had a killer ocean view and there were no other structures for blocks.)
3. Historic - She is a historic treasure and a real gem!
4. 3-minute walk to PCH
5. Indoor washer/dryer
6. Large Outdoor Living Space!
7. Enclosed Garage - Very Rare!
8. Professionally Decorated

The ONLY CON... For you non beach dwellers - Our garage is on an alley... she isn't pretty, but she takes you to our garage... which is good, right? But once you enter the garage, then into your adorable oasis... you are in your own snugly sanctuary!!

The reality of CDM, like all old Southern California beach communities was designed with an alley system that stretches from North to South. If you walk 2-minutes around the corner to PCH, the park, and a few more minutes to the beach, but are not sure of the idea of an alley, (even safe ones like ours), you probably will want to stay inland. (Let's face it, alleys are meant to be functional.)

That choice will not have an enclosed oversized garage, will be further from the sand and you'll pay PREMIUM PRICES for a 'Typical Well-Used' and Sparse vacation rental with little charm.

Loved Everything About This VRBO Rental
I cannot say enough positive things about this rental. Communicating with the owners was easy and they are very accommodating. Check in and out was a breeze. However, the best thing about this rental is the immaculate, lovely, and comfortable cottage itself. Updated with all of the luxuries and gadgets needed to feel at home. Very safe and secure. Tucked away in the prestigious area of Newport Beach close to the ocean. I walked every day in the neighborhood along with all of the local residents who walk daily. It has easy access to shopping and the freeway. There is construction all around the neighborhood, which is a good sign for the economy and I enjoyed looking at the many improvements taking place. If you are worried about noise, the construction sounds were not obnoxious to me. They don't work on the weekends and usually don't start until after 8 am and finish by 5 pm if not sooner. If you're like me, I'm out and about during the day, and by the time I return to relax in this beauitul, cozy cottage it was nice and quiet. I will definitely stay here again.
