Fabulous home.

We absolutely loved our stay. Fabulous location. Great views. Right on the sand but away from the chaos of the pier area. Not on the boardwalk but very close. Lovely home with great amenities. Bikes, toys, chairs, beach blankets all for guest use. Host is quick to respond and very helpful. We brought our niece and her BF. Master bedroom, kitchen and main living area is upstairs. Two beds and two baths downstairs. We all loved that we could hang out upstairs together and also have our private areas to go to. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Do bring your bathroom supplies and some extra TP as there is one roll supplied per bathroom.

Great Spot!!

This property was clean and had everything you would need to be at the beach. The location was great for my family as we have 3 kids under 3 and didn’t want to be right on the strand with a bunch of people walking by. The property backs right up to the sand and is only about a 15 minute walk from the pier and lots of places to eat. The balcony was huge (especially compared to the houses around it). Will definitely stay here again in the future!!

Beautiful Home/Great Locaation!

This home has it all! Beautiful, great location and has everything you would want for a great beach vacation. It isn’t a typical rental house… if feels like you are staying at your own vacation home! Jason was easy to work with and very quick to respond. Looking forward to coming back!

Wonderful family get together!

My husband and I stayed four nights at The Sandcastle with our son, two daughters, and two sons-in-law, all aged 20-30. We were in town for my nephew’s wedding, and extended the trip to include a mini family reunion on the beach!

Ideal in every way

We did a fair amount of research and talked to people who have vacationed in Newport and the Sand Castle met or exceeded our requirements. First of all the location is perfect - on the beach but far enough from the hub bub of the Newport Beach Pier as to not have constant traffic both foot and auto. Next, having a two car garage was great because parking on the street may be problematic in high season. Four bikes and other toys are a great addition. New and upgraded interior and appliances along with barbecue. Most important Jason was beyond responsive. Could not ask for a better host.

You can’t beat the location or the fact that you have the entire house, not just the upper or lower level of a duplex. Jason was very responsive too. I highly recommend this home and would love to stay here again.

The house was great. It was in a great location. Jason was incredible with communication and help with anything we needed during our stay. The house has everything you need for your stay -- chairs, boogie boards, toys, bikes, etc. The A/C helped when it got hot. Would strongly recommend to anyone.

Perfect place for a family beach vacation!

This home is a perfect place to stay with a group of eight. Our kiddos enjoyed the beach daily and it was so nice to be right ON the beach! The home is clean, well done, and you feel right at home immediately. Jason is so easy and prompt to help with anything (not that we needed much), and we would surely stay here again! :) Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

Great communication, hone was clean and the location is 100% perfect. Far enough from downtown to be quite, but close enough to be there in 5 minutes. The location on the beach would be hard to beat. Walk straight to the ocean through soft sand! Views are spectacular, we loved our time here!

great home, great location

We really enjoyed our stay at the end of October. The weather was amazing, and staying right on this amazing beach when it wasn't crowded was awesome. The Sand Castle had plenty of room and very open from the kitchen to the dining to the living to the deck. I'd go back there for sure.
