2-min to Sand, Pier & Dining · Luxe 2BR · Rare A/C, Fire Pit, & Garage Parking

Prime location—steps to the sand, pier, sailing harbor, shops, and cafes. Surf Casita is a new designer luxe 2BR with rare A/C and easy garage parking—the ultimate beach retreat. Tucked in a quiet spot next to the sailing harbor yet close to everything, it`s a 10/10 `Loved by Guests` — Premier Host property. Sip wine in your private courtyard as the sun melts into the ocean, then relax by the fire pit. A no-car-needed escape designed for laid-back luxury.

Guest Favorite highlights:
✓ Cool A/C
✓ Fire pit
✓ Garage + EV⚡
✓ King bed
✓ Luxe fit & finish
✓ Warm outdoor shower
✓ 85` TV + music + Fast Wi-Fi

A popular rare find — dates go fast.

The Retreat
Surf Casita is a luxury 2BR ground-floor duplex, custom built in 2023 and finished like a designer model home: high-end fixtures, curated decor, and the fit and finish of a ground-up build, not a converted rental. Rare A/C, fast Wi-Fi, secure garage parking, and a Level 2 EV charger. Enjoy two fully private outdoor spaces, easy beach access, and the perfect mix of Newport energy and quiet coastal comfort.

Goldilocks Zone — beach close, but quiet
This is the location locals choose: steps from everything, removed from the crowds. A short 2–3 minute walk covers the sand, Newport Pier, the oceanfront boardwalk, Mom`s Beach for calm bay swimming and paddle boarding, Marina Park, bike and surf rentals, waterfront dining and cafés (Crab Cooker, Lighthouse Café, Shorebird, Bear Flag, and more), ice cream, and the Sunday farmers market. Every coastal activity is walkable — surf, sail, paddle, bike — then retreat to a quiet street where the evening actually feels like vacation. Park once. No car needed.

Sleeping Arrangements
Comfortable sleeping for five across two bedrooms plus a living room sleeper.

✓ The Flagship Room
King bed · Premium mattress · Brooklinen percale sheets · Private patio with fire pit · 55` Smart TV · A/C · Walk-in closet

✓ The Surf Room
Two full beds · Surf-themed décor · Great for kids or friends · 55` Smart TV · A/C · Walk-in closet

✓ Living Room
Queen sleeper sofa · A proper bed for adults, not an afterthought · 85` Smart TV · A/C

The Bath
The spa bathroom serves both bedrooms equally and exceptionally. Warm, high-end lighting, designer fixtures, and custom-home finishes carry the quality through. The bathtub makes post-beach cleanup with kids easy, a full set of bath essentials is stocked, and plush Turkish towels complete the experience.

Outdoor Living
Two outdoor spaces, both entirely yours. Out front, a gated courtyard with a BBQ, dining for six, and a warm outdoor shower to rinse off after the beach. Out back, a patio where the fire pit and the amber glow of cafe lights set the scene for sunset wine and slow coastal evenings.

Well-Appointed Casita Kitchen
Designed for real cooking, the kitchen includes a gas range, refrigerator with ice maker, dishwasher, toaster, and rice cooker, plus fully stocked cookware and wine glasses. The coffee bar offers drip and K-Cup makers, plus a French press — coffee included to start the day. Plate today`s catch at the courtyard table for a sunset dinner.

Tech & Comfort
Rare A/C throughout makes Surf Casita a true Newport find. An 85` 4K TV with surround sound and Sonos music make staying in feel like a choice, not a compromise. Smart lighting, ultra-fast Wi-Fi for work-from-beach days, and an in-garage washer/dryer add comfort and convenience.

Garage Parking
Secure garage parking with a Level 2 EV charger. Fits a full-size SUV (no tall roof racks).

Beach Essentials, Handled
Beach chairs, umbrella, towels, surf boards, and a cooler are ready in the garage — grab and go, two minutes to the sand.

Traveling with little ones?
Pack-n-play, high chair, crib, and baby monitor available on request.

Exceptional Value
Compare the Surf Casita to anything nearby: custom 2023 build, designer finishes, carefully curated decor, rare A/C, garage + EV charging, 85` TV, private outdoor spaces, hotel-quality beds (king included), two minutes to sand and pier.
