Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Sitting directly on the sand in Newport Beach, this house gives you the Pacific as a constant backdrop – from the open ground-floor patio where you can barbecue while watching the waves, to the living room where the ocean light shifts through the afternoon. The main bedroom has its own balcony above the water, and the rooftop deck takes things further still, with a hot tub and fireplace for watching the sun drop toward the horizon. Balboa Island is about thirteen-minutes by car when you want a change of scene.
