Fodor's Expert Review Crystal Cove Beach Cottages
35 Crystal Cove, Newport Coast, California, 92657, USA
The Crystal Cove Historic District is home to a collection of unique and historic cottages decorated and furnished to reflect the 1935 to 1955 beach culture that flourished here. Perched on the sand and above the high tide line on a bluff above the beach, these 24 rustic beauties offer an unbeatable location and with fourteen individual cottages and ten dorm-style cottages, they can cater to families or groups with varying capacities. Reserve six months to one year in advance, as these are coveted. Cottages do become available due to cancellations, so check back regularly. You can also look for last-minute availability at the Crystal Cove check-in office between 10:45 and 11 am daily.
