Fabulous Five Bedroom Home with Unmatched Pacific Ocean Views at Pelican Hills, Newport Beach

Some homes really do put you in the mood to slow down. I still remember the hush as I stepped into 6 Fair Harbor at Pelican Hills in Newport Beach. Something about the soft light through the windows and the way you can almost hear the ocean in the distance just makes you want to linger a little. This is a Mediterranean style villa inside a gated corner of California, tucked in with those classic terracotta roofs and a view that always pulls you back to the Pacific no matter what you are doing inside.

I took a bit of time in the foyer noticing the marble underfoot. The ceiling stretches way up so the first impression actually feels pretty grand, then you get those archways showing little hints of the ocean. The crisp cream colored walls just feel restful. You move into the living room and you have this sense that someone really thought about where to sit and relax. The big glass doors frame the sea and open up right into the backyard. Honestly, that view is just steady there every time you glance outside. You can even hear the breeze some afternoons.

Head through another open archway and suddenly the dining room changes the mood. Big table where you can picture everyone setting down their phones for a Sunday dinner. I stood there for a second thinking how the light hits the silver tone chandeliers and everything just feels warm, not fussy. Even if you have people over you would still get that easygoing vibe. Then I peeked into the kitchen. I do not know about you but sometimes tricked out kitchens feel staged. Not here. There is enough space, the pantry is out of sight but handy, the appliances look sharp but in a way you would actually use. Granite counters for rolling out dough if you want to, and those deep wood cabinets hide away all the morning clutter. It really feels like a place where real food gets made and shared. There is also a relaxed sitting room close by if someone wants to sneak off with coffee after breakfast. I noticed an at home office tucked in too since everyone needs their own space sometimes, and even a guest bedroom right on this floor if you do not feel like walking stairs at night.

The staircase itself is kind of a showpiece with marble steps leading up. I found myself looking back down just to take in the whole entrance again. Upstairs there are four more bedrooms. The vibe carries through, each room picking up some detail from the garden or a stretch of Pacific blue outside the window. The master bedroom makes you want to stay a bit longer and read or just step outside on the wraparound terrace to watch the light shift across the golf course and the ocean beyond. By the way, this bedroom has its own private stairs up from the garden so you can slip out in the morning and not wake anyone. The bathroom is a treat with a huge tub surrounded by creamy stone plus gold and silver touches here and there so it has a little bit of glamour but not too much.

Outside was where I really imagined life here. The backyard is simple but has everything that makes sense. There is a pool with that glassy stillness that makes afternoons easy. Jacuzzi bubbles for those colder evenings. The pergola out back makes you want to linger with barbecue and friends, and then as the sun dips the firepit becomes the hangout spot. I could picture a few kids laughing or even just a quiet night with the sound of the wind coming off the Pacific.

Pelican Hills itself is pretty quiet. Some mornings you will see neighbors heading out to golf or little clusters walking their dogs right after sunrise. The best thing is Newport Beach, the town and all the bits of California you want, are close enough but here you feel separate from the noise. The Fair Harbor address really does feel special, maybe even a little like a Mediterranean postcard but with some real California grit.

You might want to see this in person. No words or photos can really show you how relaxing it feels or how those ocean views just kind of stay with you.
