Villa, 2 Bedrooms, Balcony (, Tub)

Every Villa, 2 Bedrooms, Balcony at Marriott's Newport Coast Villas has a private balcony for outdoor sitting. The resort is perched on a bluff with views toward the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island, though the exact outlook depends on where your villa sits across the 75-acre grounds.

The villa is furnished with two double beds and sleeps up to 8 guests. It works well for two couples or a family with children, and larger groups should plan how they will share the two double beds.

There are two private bathrooms. One has a deep soaking bathtub, the other a shower/bathtub combination. Towels and a hair dryer are provided, and there is a grab bar near the toilet.

Yes. The villa has a full kitchen with a stovetop, microwave, full-sized refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, cookware, dishware and utensils, plus a coffee/tea maker and a dining area. An in-room washer/dryer and an iron and ironing board are also provided, which suits longer stays.

Yes. The resort is family-friendly, and a free crib is available with the villa. Kids' activities run at the children's activity center, The Cove, daily from 9am to 5pm. It is not drop-off childcare, and children under 13 must be accompanied by an adult. There are no lifeguards at the pools, and children 12 and under need an adult with them in water areas. Guests wanting a quieter swim can use the adults-only pool and spa area.

The ocean is about one-third of a mile from the resort, though from some villas the walk can be up to a mile because of the property's size. Crystal Cove State Park is roughly a 7-minute walk, and Crystal Cove Beach about 17 minutes. Laguna Beach is around 5.5 miles away and Fashion Island about 2.9 miles. The resort also runs a free local shuttle.

There are two on-site outlets. La Vista Pool Bar & Grill serves casual American fare and cocktails daily from 11am to 8pm. The Marketplace offers snacks, sundries and Starbucks coffee daily from 6am to 10am... 10pm. Complimentary breakfast is not served, so the villa kitchen is handy for morning meals.

Check-in begins at 4:00 PM and check-out is at 10:00 AM. Villas are assigned the morning of arrival by the front desk, which is busy with check-outs until 10am. Bring an ID and credit card, which are used for a refundable security deposit. There is no resort fee, and self-parking costs about $35–$40 per day per vehicle, with a limit of three vehicles per reservation. The resort is non-smoking, and pets are not allowed, though service animals are welcome.

Access to the villa is via exterior corridors, and the TV supports closed captioning. Your stay includes complimentary outdoor pools, a whirlpool, the fitness center and Wi-Fi. The grounds also have tennis and pickleball courts, a putting green and walking trails. Spa by the Sea is on site, with appointments recommended.
