Newport Dunes

We went to Newport Dunes (aka "Back Bay") for a night while in Tustin. We rented a little cottage that was perfect for our little family. It had bunk beds, a sofa bed, little kitchen area with a microwave and fridge - all in one single room. It was the first time we have all slept in one room together and it actually went really well. We decided this is as close to camping as we want to get for several years. It was the perfect set up for us though.

The first day we played in the sand, had a BBQ and went swimming in the pool and spa. The bay was too cold and dirty to go in so we were grateful for the pool. This time we went during their "off-season" (before Memorial Day) because it was cheaper, but next time we would go during the summer since that's when all their rentals are open and the main activities are going on. They have movies on the beach at night and we could rent boats and other water activites during the day. It was a perfect little vacation with the boys and something we would enjoy doing every year.
