Welcome to Crystal Cove Cottages

Nestled along the unspoiled shoreline of Crystal Cove State Park in Newport Beach, the Crystal Cove Cottages offer a rare opportunity to step into California’s coastal past. Perched between the Pacific Ocean and dramatic coastal bluffs, these lovingly restored seaside cottages form one of the last remaining historic beach communities in Southern California.

Originally built in the 1920s and 1930s, the cottages reflect a time when families escaped to the coast for simple pleasures — salt air, wooden boardwalks, and evenings lit by lantern glow. Today, they remain preserved within the Crystal Cove Historic District, inviting guests to experience coastal living much as it was nearly a century ago.

Each cottage has been carefully rehabilitated to retain its vintage charm while offering modern comforts, ensuring that history is not only preserved — but lived. Whether you are staying overnight, exploring the shoreline, or learning about the generations who shaped this remarkable stretch of coast, Crystal Cove Cottages connect you to a timeless California story.

Experience the beauty. Preserve the legacy. Stay where history meets the sea.
