Newport Beach Getaway
In a few months, everyone in Arizona is going to be looking to get to the beach. Swarms of people will flood to the coastal waters of California in hopes of “getting out of the heat” and catching some summer rays on the Cali shore.
But while everyone else will be figuring out a way to get to “the beach” you will be planning your trip to “THE beach.” That’s right: Newport Beach. The classy charm of Newport Beach is ready for you and yours this season in a luxuriously modern, beautiful four-bedroom, four-bathroom beachfront home. Imagine stepping right outside this incredible home onto the sandy shores of pristine California coastline to start your day. Imagine that same view ending your day as the sun sets over the gentle waves of the Pacific Ocean. It’s enough to make you wonder why you would ever leave…
This six-night stay on the coast of Newport Beach in the perfect beach home is exactly what you need after being cooped up this last year. Soak up everything that Newport has to offer by hiking the Crystal Cove State Park and admiring its natural beauty or visiting Newport Bay Nature Preserve. From there, take a jaunt to Balboa Pier and Balboa Village all while enjoying some California cuisine at any of its several famed restaurants.
Take advantage of the prime coastal scenery with sunbathing, snorkeling and watersports, or buy yourself some new beachwear at Fashion Island. Newport’s charming downtown features a wide array of galleries and working art studios to explore and shop.
Add in roundtrip airfare for all and this package is the ultimate beach getaway!
Just think… You. THE beach. Flip-flops, swimsuit, a drink in your hand, and nothing but time.
