Why the Owner Chose Huntington Beach
The Sand Castle, our vacation property, lies near the beach, major attractions, and great restuarants. The sun warms, the waves cool, and the night-life satisfies.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Our property is truly upscale in decor, extremely well maintained, and we provide an abundance of bikes, toys, and additional pleasures, matched by very few others at much higher prices. Included in the rental price are most condiments, spices, and laundry necessities, giving our guests an even greater value. Please, read the reviews.
