A sun-soaked patio and easy beach access make this Newport Beach apartment hard to resist. The south-east facing living space has a warm coastal character, while outside, the barbecue and patio invite long afternoons in the California sun, and the beach is a short walk away. Newport Beach Pier, Balboa Island, and Newport Harbour are all close by, making it a natural base for seafood, sightseeing, and messing about on the water.
