Great Roof Deck. 1 block from beach-A/C-Garage Parking The back unit of a duplex, this 2 BDR/2 BTH property is a perfect vacation spot. 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, grocery store and shopping! Our house is ideal for two couples or a small family. There are two bedrooms with King sized beds and by using an airbed in the common area, we can have a maximum of 5 guests. Although kids are welcome, please be aware that there are stairs and no baby gates installed and we haven't child-proofed this house at all. Pristine and air conditioned, this 2 bedroom/2 bath 1220 sq ft beach house has a gorgeous kitchen with quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances including a gas range, microwave, refrigerator with filtered water and an ice maker and a KitchenAid dishwasher. The kitchen island serves as the dining table and accommodates up to 4 people. The comfortable living room has an expansive sectional sofa, 55” tv (wifi, cable, apple tv) and cozy gas fireplace. The larger of the two bedrooms and a full bathroom are on the first floor. The primary bedroom and attached primary bath are on the second floor. The primary bath has double sinks, a beautifully tiled shower, separate room for the commode and a walk-in closet. The private roof deck is a fantastic spot offering peek-a-boo ocean views, a fire pit, a comfy sectional sofa and chaise lounge chairs. It’s a great place for soaking up the sun or having a cocktail in the evening. We also have a one bedroom/one bathroom listing for the front unit in the duplex- it’s a bright and sunny 700 sq ft apartment with a compact, yet complete kitchen, great little bathroom, bedroom with Cal King bed and also tons of built-in storage and a large private deck with BBQ. If you need that extra bedroom, or would prefer the additional privacy that an air mattress in the living room can’t afford, you may want to inquire with us about booking both places. Take a look at #4881700. General Info: Garage Parking: You will have use of the right 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-that is not negotiable. If in doubt whether your vehicle is allowed in the garage, please contact me and I can let you know. Beds: First floor bedroom has a Cal King bed. Second floor bedroom has an Eastern King bed. Twin airbed and Pack n Play available upon request. Linens: Linens, blankets, pillows, bath towels, kitchen towels and beach towels are all provided. Kitchen/Supplies: The kitchen is super well supplied with dishes, cookware, silverware, blender, toaster oven, slow cooker, a Keurig and lots of 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 some K-cups on hand for you but, if you’re a coffee lover, you’ll want to have more! BBQ: Located just outside the kitchen door. BBQ tools are in the drawer below the oven. 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: A full size, stackable washer/dryer is located in the unit on the second floor. Laundry detergent and Bounce sheets are provided. Cell Phone Note: the cell coverage in this unit is sketchy, especially if you have Verizon. I actually switched to AT&T because of the lack of coverage here. You'll likely need to go outside or on the roof deck to make/receive calls if you have Verizon. One easy work-around is to hook up to our wifi while in the house and text/call over that. But I want to be sure all are aware of that possible concern.

There is no expense spared here, top notch everything. Whatever you needed the Back Shack had, from boogie boards, to beach chairs, to towels, to bikes. Only a block in from the beach and a very easy walk. Also would say the rooftop of the Shack was perfect, just a little added bonus. Grocery store and restaurants all within walking distance. Pam was a very gracious host, if you needed anything she was always available. I would highly recommend The Back Shack and we will definitely be back. ##### Tammy P. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jim R. Mar 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The Shack: Where Cozy Meets Coastal Cool Our wonderful Vrbo visit to Newport Beach was made possible by the amazing accommodations we had at a lovely beach home its owners decidedly nicknamed tongue-in-cheek The Shack.Our check-in was smooth and easy. Upon entering the house we were greeted by a chalkboard message on the kitchen island welcoming us by name. Next to the chalkboard was a scrumptious pile of homemade chocolate chip cookies and a bottle of cab that our host, Pam left for our arrival. Her house had every amenity we could have ever asked for. The entire home is beautifully decorated, the kitchen fully equipped, and nice thoughtful touches everywhere. We visited in February so it was quite a treat to flip on the gas log fireplace to arrest the morning Newport Beach chill with a cup of coffee in hand. Soon later the sun would start to penetrate the clouds and burn off the fog signaling it was time to head up to the third-floor rooftop deck with a good book in hand for some rays, more coffee, and a leisurely morning under the sun. And by the way, the rooftop deck is also perfect for sunset happy hour with ample comfy seating, fire table, and a view towards the beach just a couple of blocks away. Yes, it was hard to check-out on our day of departure because we were totally in a SoCal groove and it was hard to say goodbye. But it really wasn’t a goodbye so much as it was see you again soon at The Shack.Jim & SuzanneIllinois ##### Jim R. Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paula L.

Well stocked with so many things you might need and more, in terms of kitchen condiments and pots pans dishes, linens, bathroom supplies, extra toothbrushes, soap. Was just like home, only better!. Everything was in perfect working order, plus a garage for parking and shareables; 6-7 bicycles, beach chairs , boogie boards, wagons umbrellas and beach toys. Roof top deck was great with 2 fire pits, cafe lights and comfortable seating. The fireplace in the living room was wonderful as well. Beds and pillows were comfortable, nice linens and towels. We were very happy and felt fortunate to be staying in this well appointed comfortable home. A booklet describing things to do, places to eat, how things in the house worked and how to prepare before leaving was specific and so helpful. Communication was instant, Pam checked in by text to see if we were good during our stay, fast responses before and after booking. This home is in the top 3 of our many VRBO rentals. The cookies, wine and personalized greeting left for our arrival was so appreciated. Thank you Pam and Jimmy. ##### Paula L. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Renee F.

Pam's communication is beyond incredible. The home is cute, clean and in an awesome location. We walked to everything. Beds are comfortable. The garage is packed with anything you might need - chairs, bikes, boogie boards, coolers, etc. We didn't do any cooking but it seemed very well-stocked. Upon arrival were some amazing cookies and a bottle of wine - so thoughtful. We would absolutely stay here again. 5-Stars! ##### Becky E.

We had such a great time here and enjoyed everything about it. It was great having the bikes available and used them everyday. The space was great for my husband and two adult daughters. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and it was the perfect place. He loved sitting on the beach and it was nice that it was so close! The owners provided a list of restaurants and we visited many of them. We would love to come back again!! ##### Maribeth B. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deborah M.

The rooms are beautifully furnished and stocked with every amenity imaginable. Both bedrooms are nice enough to be primary suites. The location is great and Pat (the owner) even welcomed us with fresh cookies and a bottle of wine! ##### June B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy G.

The location is perfect situated just a few blocks from the beach, grocery store and restaurants. Pam and Jimmy offer all the amenities for a fun beach vacation. The home is impeccably clean and comfortable. We love having dinner on the roof top deck after a day at the beach. We can’t wait to return the next time we visit Newport Beach. ##### Nancy G.

This is our 6th consecutive year staying at the Shack, and it was as great as every other stay. Pam's attention to detail sets a high standard. Perfect location, excellent amenities - everything is the absolute best! ##### Susan G. Stayed 13 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jon P.

Her home was immaculate, excellent location, and with the upsrairs balcony we almost could have never left to enjoy our time on the beach. But, having grown up here, everything about our NB time was also amazing. Came in white and pale... left golden tan!! Thank you so much Pam. Hope to get down to stay again soon. p/s Pam your chocolate chip cookies and gift basket was top notch. ##### Jon P.

Very short walk to the beach and to restaurants. Garage was stocked with lots of beach toys and wagons to make beach trips much easier. Rooftop area was a great place to rest at the end of the day. We’d stay again if/when we come back. ##### Jason F. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan S.

It was the best stocked home I have stayed in and "the shack" wine and other snacks were so thoughtful. The location is so close to the beach, and the roof deck was wonderful. We walked to all the restaurants and having a grocery store also just around the corner was handy. Beds were comfy and the large sectional was great for seating. I would stay here again in a minute. ##### Susan S. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michele F.
