Vacation for Four to Newport Beach {Giveaway}

May 17, 2012 by 194 Comments

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Newport Beach. All opinions are 100% mine.

What are your Summer Vacation plans!?  Does a bayside resort with activities for everyone in your family,  pristine waters and awesome ocean views sound perfect!?   Newport Beach has incredible ambiance where “SoCal sophistication” meets “laid back beach town!”  If this sounds great to you, Newport Beach should be your top pick for your vacation!!
Newport Beach has made booking a vacation simple.  They have their own website with everything you could possibly need to book your vacation and all the details you’ll need while you’re vacationing, including city information, hotel reservations, where to eat, and what to do!  If I were going to Newport Beach, I’d definitely want to plan a ride on a beach cruiser, enjoy exquisite meals while watching the sunset, and explore some of their great shops at Fashion Island!  Here’s the link www.visitnewportbeach.com.
The Hyatt Regency Newport Beach hotel.  They are offering a great promotion for families: Buy one room at full price, receive a connecting room for kids 18 and under at 50% off. The Hyatt Regency Newport Beach is a resort-style bayside destination on 26 acres and boasts 3-pools and whirlpools, shuffle board, ping pong, a 9-hole, par-3 golf course. We’ve shared hotel rooms a few times with our sweeties…the separate connecting room is definitely the way to travel!

Have you ever vacationed at Newport Beach!?!?  Can you totally picture your family relaxing on the beach, enjoying days filled with walks along the beach, trying to catch the surf, coastal cuisine and upscale shopping!?!  Which activities on the video would you like to try?!
A vacation to Newport Beach is sounding really good, right!  So how would you like a chance to win a trip for four that will include:
  • Airfare
  • 2-night stay (in one room) at Hyatt Regency Newport Beach
  • Breakfast both mornings
  • Guided Duffy boat tour: enjoy cruising Newport Harbor with up to ten friends in a Duffy Electric Boat. You’re the captain in these unique, easy-to-operate boats. Each boat has a canopy top, window enclosure and CD player with MP3 player hook up. Perfect for corporate events and special occasions. Tie up and eat at restaurants along Newport Harbor or bring your own food and beverages.

  1. Lots of relaxing on that beautiful beach, swimming and shopping!

  2. We used to hang out there some times when we lived in the OC.
    Balboa Island is a great place to go walk around and see really cool beach front houses :)

  3. Sims Family says:

    We love Newport! We love to visit the Mormon Temple, and also go to the beach to see the tide pools and explore. Such a beautiful place to be! I wish I could live there!

  4. Lydia says:

    Can I get a frozen banana from the Big Yellow Joint? Or whale watching may be kind of nice, too. Or visiting the Cohens!

  5. Barbara says:

    Shopping golfing and dining. Looks fabulous.

  6. The beaches sound beautiful and relaxing!

  7. Christine says:

    Someone would have to come and peel me off the beach– I would never leave :)

  8. Cynthia says:

    Fashion Island! :)

  9. So, I love all the family friendly activities we could do, but is it wrong that if I won I would totally leave the kids home and have a nice relaxing vacay with my husband? Because, yep! That’s what I would do! :)

  10. I visited Newport Beach back in 1984 and loved it! My family has never been there and we would love to enjoy this beautiful seaside town doing some shopping and spending time on the water. Thanks so much for a chance to WIN this awesome trip.

    Blessings,

    We landed in New Port Beach one year because air fare was cheaper than going to LA. We have good friends that live nearby and the view from the plane as we landed was gorgeous. I have traveled a lot in CA but haven’t spent much time at this beach. I would LOVE to just sit on the beach and enjoy the views!

  39. My favorite amenity is the beach of course ;) I love southern California and their beaches are amazing!

    Wow, this would be so great for my son who served a church mission in the Newport Beach (Anaheim mission) area. He lost his sweet girl last fall (see: everydaycourage.net) and this would be a great diversion for him. Would be wonderful for him to visit with families and friends and visit places such as Balboa Island and other areas that he was unable to. Thanks so much for the chance!

    I would finally get married and then enjoy the beach. My honey and I have been engaged for almost 4 years and have planned to get married on a beach several times, but I got very sick and the money went to medical bills. If we didn’t have to pay airfare or hotel, we would be able to afford the small beach wedding we have dreamed of and relax and have fun on the beach.

Balboa Island, learning how to surf from a surf camp, the Newport Aquatic Center, hiking and biking trails, and the Gondola rides. Those things sounded fun and I would definitely try to do them all.
