If you’re looking for a holiday filled with sandy toes, sunshine and surf, this is the place. Right on Newport Beach, with no road or boardwalk between the house and the golden sands, you couldn’t be better positioned for a classic Californian break. Inside there’s an informal, homely feel and large windows for enjoying the ever-present view. Days here are all about the beach of course. While away the hours riding the rollers like the locals, or blissing out in the sun, before coming back for lunch on the patio. All the sea views without the sand in your sandwiches – what could be more perfect? As the day draws to a close, wash the salt out of your hair, pour yourself a glass of something cold, and hit the terrace for sundowners. There’s a firepit to keep the vibe going even after dark, so you can enjoy supper on the terrace as well.
