Doryman’s Oceanfront Inn is a boutique lodging gem situated directly on the Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach. Originally built in the early 1900s as a fishermen’s bunkhouse, it has been thoughtfully restored into an elegant Victorian-inspired inn that blends historic charm with modern comfort. The property’s 11 uniquely appointed rooms feature antique furnishings, marble tubs, and many offer ocean views that immerse guests in coastal ambiance. The inn’s location—just steps from the sand, directly across from the Newport Pier, and adjacent to the Dory Fishing Fleet—makes it one of the most desirable boutique oceanfront experiences in Orange County.

Guests enjoy amenities including free onsite parking, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and room service via the 21 Oceanfront Restaurant located below the inn. The inn also provides rooftop access, enabling guests to take in panoramic coastal vistas. Its small scale and refined aesthetic distinguish it from larger chain hotels, offering a more personalized, atmospheric stay on the coast
