California

Newport Beach is one of many beautiful beaches that can be enjoyed in Southern California. Many homes can be found along the beach and a bike path runs along between the homes and the sand. Imagine sitting on your patio watching the sun set on the Pacific Ocean. If you are a surfer, you can check the surf conditions in the early morning without even leaving your house. Many residents live in these homes year round. Other homes are popular rentals for visiting vacationers.
