427 Catalina Drive

Tucked into the storybook streets of coveted Newport Heights, this 1,420-square-foot single-level gem is making its rental debut for the very first time. Lovingly cared for by both its current and previous owners, the home has been thoughtfully refreshed with a soft, neutral palette, modern touches, clever storage, and a layout that flows as easily as an ocean breeze. Step inside to a sweeping, sun-drenched living room where warm wood floors glow beneath a wall of windows dressed in classic wood shutters. Custom built-in cabinetry and shelving line the space -- perfect for displaying treasured finds, favorite books, or a curated collection of beach-day memories. The adjacent dining area graciously accommodates an eight-person table and features charming built-in cubbies, making dinner parties and holiday gatherings feel effortlessly elegant. The kitchen is bright and cheerful, illuminated by skylights that invite in Newport’s golden sunshine year-round. Outfitted with a new stainless-steel refrigerator, built-in dishwasher, range, dual ovens, and ample workspace, it’s ready for everything from pancake mornings to sunset suppers.

Down the hall, you’ll find a delightful guest bedroom with a walk-in closet, as well as a beautifully styled office complete with built-in shelving, cabinetry, wainscoting, and textured wallpaper -- an inspiring retreat for work or creative pursuits. The guest bath features a shower-tub combination, pedestal sink, and its own skylight for a naturally bright start to the day. At the end of the hall awaits the serene primary suite, where a built-in queen bed nook is framed by cabinetry and shelving on either side, which is both cozy and practical. The en-suite bath offers dual sinks, generous storage, a shower-tub combination, and multiple skylights that fill the space with soft, airy light. The cedar-lined walk-in closet is truly swoon worthy, with drawers and hanging space designed to keep everything beautifully organized.

French doors from both the dining room and primary bedroom open to a backyard oasis made for coastal living. Take a dip in the sparkling built-in pool, host al fresco dinners with the built-in BBQ, or gather around the outdoor fireplace as the sun dips below the palm trees. A detached two car garage offers abundant storage, a washer and dryer, and additional parallel parking for one vehicle just beyond.

And beyond your front door lies the magic of Newport Heights -- tree-lined streets, friendly neighbors, and a location just minutes from world-class beaches, Lido Marina Village, 17th Street’s beloved cafés and boutiques, and scenic bike rides along the coast. Here, life moves at a sunnier, salt-kissed pace. Charming, cheerful, and effortlessly coastal -- this is Newport Beach living at its most inviting.
