Known as the “Happy House” by neighbors who have long admired its unmistakable charm, 2004 E Ocean Boulevard is a true piece of Peninsula Point history. Designed by Don Phillips, the local legend credited with bringing the frozen banana to Newport Beach, this beloved cottage has a place in the story of the Peninsula that goes well beyond its impossibly charming facade. Phillips’ frozen-banana legacy became part of Newport folklore—and ultimately helped inspire the fictional banana-stand world of Arrested Development. Today, that history lives beautifully alongside a remarkably thoughtful designer renovation. The home’s original soul was carefully preserved—from its distinctive diamond windows to its whimsical cupola—while every other detail was elevated with intricate millwork, natural stone, custom cabinetry, Warren Christopher wide-plank flooring, a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Shade Store window coverings, beautifully appointed baths, and a new roof. The result is a two-bedroom, two bath, single-level beach cottage that feels both polished and wonderfully personal. Every inch has been considered, and every square foot is exceptionally livable—proof that a smaller home can have an extraordinary presence. Positioned on the sunny side of Ocean Boulevard, just two homes from the sand and iconic L Street beach, the location is prime Peninsula Point. The Wedge is steps away, and the legendary swells can be heard year round. Residents also have the option to join the Peninsula Point HOA’s bayfront lounge, barbecue area, vessel launch, and optional security patrol. A little piece of Newport history, lovingly preserved and impeccably reimagined, the “Happy House” is as rare as it is charming—and perhaps one of the sweetest beach cottages anywhere on the Peninsula. Grab a frozen banana and welcome yourself home to 2004 E Ocean Boulevard.
