My daughter and I stayed at Patti and Mitch's Newport beach retreat for a quick weekend trip to visit friends and celebrate the life of a lost loved one. The upstairs bungalow is beautifully decorated with the perfect touches of beach chic. The space is very cozy but also feels quite spacious. Patti was an incredible host. She was so accommodating with my late arrival after our six hour drive, greeting us and giving us a tour of the space making sure we had everything we needed. Everything you could think of is provided from linens to beach towels/chairs, a cooler and ice packs. Maybe someday we'll return for a stay that gives us a bit more beach time, and a chance to explore the Newport area. I definitely didn't get an opportunity to visit any of Patti's wonderful recommendations.
