Is there anything more peaceful than falling asleep to the sound of the ocean waves? We don't think so. If you're looking to plan a getaway that allows you to do just that, you'll want to set your sights on Crystal Cove on the Newport Coast. Here, you can stay in a historic cottage that is just steps away from the ocean. In fact, you'll have a front-row view of the Pacific's brilliant waters right from your cottage's door! It's just as heavenly as it sounds, so take a look:

Hiding within Crystal Cove State Park in Newport Beach is a historic district that's home to dozens of cottages that were built during the 1920s and 1930s. Many of these cozy cottages have been lovingly restored thanks to the Crystal Cove Conservancy Alliance, and you can even stay the night in them!

Individual, dorm-style, and ADA-accessible cottages are all available to rent for overnight stays at Crystal Cove Historic District. Located right along the oceanfront, these century-old cottages are as charming as can be. They come in different styles and sizes, with some cottages able to accommodate up to seven visitors.

The best thing about these cottages is that each one has its own unique personality. It's up to you to pick the one that calls to you! All cottages are generally equipped with a small kitchen, living area, dining area, and a deck for taking in the views.

Some of the cottages even have some fun stories behind them, like this bright, one-bedroom cottage that dates back to 1935. It once served as the Cove's snack shack and soda fountain - how fun!

With views of the ocean from almost every cottage, you may not ever want to go beyond the walls of your rental. However, Crystal Cove State Park is a glorious natural wonderland with 18 miles of hiking trails through 2,400 acres of wilderness when you feel like an adventure. And of course, you can always take a walk down to the beach.

You don't even have to leave the park when you get hungry. There are two wonderful restaurants within the Historic District: The Beachcomber and The Shake Shack. Whether you feel like a leisurely lunch or a delectable dinner, these old-fashioned eateries will be there for you to enjoy.

The Crystal Cove Historic District is a truly special place on the SoCal coast. Comprising over two dozen restored cottages, two restaurants, and over three miles of spectacular shoreline, it makes for the beachfront getaway of your dreams.
