Myself, my husband, our one year old daughter and our dog recently drove from Philadelphia to Huntington Beach for a five month stay while my husband was on business. We were at Surf City Beach Cottage from 2/6-6/15 and it was the easiest, most comfortable, wonderful stay we've experienced. I wish I would relive the experience of pulling up and seeing the house for the first time. Pictures do NOT do it justice. The space was MUCH bigger than I expected and they've literally thought of every amenity you could possibly think of.

First, the location was absolutely perfect. Close enough to walk to Pacific City and Main Street, but far enough away to enjoy the quiet. Second, we did not have to bring a single thing with us besides ourselves and our clothes. The house is fully stocked with anything and everything you can possibly imagine. Speakers on the front and back patios, kitchen appliances, a garage full of bikes, beach toys, boogie boards, beach umbrellas and chairs. There was even a high chair hiding in there!

I'd also mention we did a ton of exploring while we were visiting and it was an easy drive to LA, Malibu, Newport, Laguna, San Diego, San Clemente, Carlsbad, Temecula, Disneyland, Catalina, and even Santa Barbara if your stay is long enough to spend a night.

Basically everything about the cottage is perfect and the attention to detail the owners have paid to the property is really something. As I mentioned, we stayed for 5 months and did not have a single issue or complaint. I'm wracking my brain trying to think of one thing that was even just a little 'below average' and can't think of a single thing. Our stay was perfect and we made so many memories in that wonderful little house. We will remember it and cherish it forever. Hopefully we will be back someday soon!
