The perfect spot

This is our 2nd time staying at this property. It's a nicely kept 2 bedroom apartment in a great neighborhood that is a short walk from the beach. The owner, Lance, is super easy to communicate with. We'll definitely be staying here again.

Great beach location

Close to the pier and all the shopping/restaurants, but home is in a quiet neighborhood. Our host was always available when we had questions. Kitchen was well stocked for light cooking, ie breakfast. It was very comfy and cozy. Truly a home away from home.

Trip to visit LA universities.

We enjoyed our stay in Huntington Beach. The condo was wonderful and met our needs. Being close enough to walk into town and to the beach was fantastic. The host was very helpful and quickly answered all our questions.

Great location, responsive host

My wife and ai brought our 3 kids (22, 17, 11) for a weekend getaway, plus my wife and ai were headed to a daylong music festival while the kids got to hang out at the beach. The accomodations were perfect for our family of 5. Plenty of space for us all to sit on the couch, and move around. The space was quiet, easy to access, and well stocked with towels, linens, and pots/pans in the kitchen. Only a short walk to the beach and a cute little shopping/restaurant area. Just a great experience! The best part of it all, believe it or not, was the responsiveness of the host! We didn't have any issues at all, but he checked in with us to make sure we made it in and to see if we had any questions. When I contacted him to find out where the laundry facility was, he answered within 5 minutes and told me exactly what I needed. Hands down one of the best hosts we have ever had (and we have been traveling a lot!).

Great beach getaway!

Took my family to this property for a few night getaway close to the beach. Property was very clean and had all we needed and more. Owner quick to response to answer any questions and would definitely recommend this to those looking for walking distance to the beach and in a nice neighborhood. Looking forward to booking in the future!

Perfect Spot for Us

We absolutely loved our stay at your home!! Huntington is one of our favorite spots to visit and this home is in a great central location and only 3 blocks from the beach. Short drive to pier and downtown too. Easily took day trips to Laguna, Newport, Seal Beach, etc. Very clean throughout and comfortable beds and pillows. Loved opening all the windows for that fresh Cali breeze each day. Perfect master for my husband and I and seperate bedroom with 2 beds for our boys. Loved the patios (both were so nice to relax on day and night). Stores are super close and made it easy for quick runs for food, snacks and drinks! Lance is very easy to communicate with as well. Appreciated the washer and dryer availability as we washed all of our clothes for the remainder or our Cali trip to Disney, etc. Thank you for having boogie boards, sand toys, chairs, and umbrellas. We used them each day. We can't wait to come back!
