With school back in session and the crowd’s a lot less bustlin’, it’s the perfect time to enjoy Newport like a true vacationer. While Newport may be known for its superb surf breaks and boardwalk for days, it’s also the perfect destination for a laid-back, rejuvenating vacay.
We’ve rounded up some of our best spots for a Newport “staycation,” Airbnb style.
Here’s our lineup of Newport Beach’s best Airbnbs for everyone — from design lovers on a budget to beachgoers seeking luxury…

Sink into a luxurious bath, open the windows to feel the tranquil ocean breeze, entertain in the backyard, or walk right out into the sand and surf! This bungalow literally has all you’ll ever need in Newport Beach.

The property has wood floors and a gorgeous, newly renovated kitchen, and sunrise/sunset views from your bayfront patio.

Designer Beach House
$599 per night
To wake up inspired, spend the weekend at the Designer Beach House.

Unlike other beach homes, this property comes with both air conditioning and heating, Westin Heavenly beds, Bertazzoni appliances, and an oversized bathtub you’ll want to sink into after a long day of surfing. Can we move in?
