Spectacular Ocean Front Home

it was a nice house for a family gathering. it was definitely a beach house. the master bedroom and bath were huge (overly so) and the other bedrooms and baths small. However everything was functional, pleasant and the extras (boggy boards, each chairs, etc.) well appreciated.

We just spent a week here with our children and grandchildren- 7 adults and 3 kids. As advertised it is a "spectacular" beach house with plenty of room for everyone. Dan welcomed us when we arrived and took us through the house explaining those little quirks that all houses have in order to make our stay comfortable. It has a very interesting history that is outlined in a scrapbook telling about what life in Sunset Beach and the house was like over the past 100 years.

The house is well maintained with comfortable beds along with plenty of beach toys and boogie boards for the kids. The beach here was clean and uncrowded. We cooked most of our meals during the week in the well stocked lower kitchen and did enjoy a few dinners at local restaurants.

Other than the week going by too fast everything was just right. Thank you Dan and we hope to come back some day.

This is our second time staying at this property and we loved it just as much as we did the first time. The owner tries hard to make each stay comfortable and has provided nearly every amenity, which is an especially excellent feature when you have children. There is an abundance of towels and toys available, two well-equipped kitchens with appliances and serving ware, plenty of space for large groups, balcony on upper floors so everyone can enjoy the picturesque views, and even an in-house elevator for those that may have a tough time climbing stairs.

The home is located near a lot of great restaurants, shopping areas, and ocean activities. The owner is kind enough to leave a detailed list for food options as well as nearby attractions.

It was so much fun for our family to be staying in a beautiful home in a sought-after area of town within steps of the ocean. The beach itself didn’t get very busy – even over the weekend – which was a bonus!

I was impressed with the property when I first saw it on VRBO, and we had a quick tour with Dan, the owner, when we were in OC last November. But being there for a week was heaven. We had our entire immediate family, my husband and I, three daughters with husbands, and all the grandkids, so it was a full house. But we had plenty of room to spread out, and all the beds were comfy. The fact that all the bed linens and towels were furnished, with the beds already made up, made for an easy start. And not having to strip beds, etc., made packing up to leave a lot easier. Washer and drier worked well, and got a lot of use.

We didn't know if we'd use the 3rd floor kitchen beyond keeping extra groceries and beverages cold in the fridge. But it turned out to be a great prep kitchen, and we made good use of it.

The beach was awesome! The kids loved playing in the waves as they came ashore, and the beach was wide open and uncrowded; even had plenty of room on the Fourth of July.

Parking was never a problem, and there's every retail nearby - about 5 minutes to Trader Joe's and Ralph's. So we spent more time at the house and beach, not in traffic.

Being on the roof deck on the Fourth was the icing on the cake. We could see fireworks from up in Long Beach area, all across OC to the east, and south to Huntington. At the same time, we were far enough from all of this that the fireworks noise didn't bother the kids at all.

Dan was there when we arrived, and responsive to all questions and concerns - thanks, Dan!

If you're looking for an idyllic beach stay for a big group, you cannot do better than this place!

Was disappointed that the cleaning crew did not do a very good job cleaning the property before we moved in. Other times we did not find this. We all needed to clean before we felt comfortable. Everything else was up to par.
