Marriott’s Newport Coast Villas
Set on a bluff overlooking the sparkling Pacific, Marriott’s Newport Coast Villas offer everything you need to live like a Newport Beach local. Guests can enjoy access to a variety of top-notch amenities, including three outdoor pools, basketball and tennis courts, a putting green and a state-of-the-art fitness center.

Newport Beach has a little something for everyone. From swanky hotels in the heart of it all to charming retreats on the beach, you’re sure to find something that fits your wants and needs. The Crystal Cove Beach Cottages quaint bungalows offer a serene escape for those looking for some fun in the sun. Each of the 24 cottages has been meticulously restored to preserve the original architectural charm and features a full-sized kitchen, common sitting room and deck with views of the water. And after a day of sun and surf, guests can experience the Crystal Cove State Park Historic District, where you can rent fire pits or enjoy a meal on the sand at The Beachcomber.
For those who prefer a little more living space or are traveling with kids, consider a beach house rental! While resorts offer perks like maid service and pool access, a vacation rental comes with its own advantages, such as additional bedrooms, indoor, and outdoor spaces. Live the island life with a rental on Balboa Island, or enjoy beach access and some of the best waterfront dining in Orange County with a beach house on the Balboa Peninsula! Wherever you choose to stay, you’re sure to fall in love with the local charm of our coastal city.
