The location was great. The house was very clean. Would have been a 10, but the coffee makers did not work, nor did the hair dryer. Otherwise, everything was wonderful.

Phenomenal property and experience! We will absolutely book a return trip. The only tip I have for people is to make a plan for parking if you have a big vehicle. The garage is very narrow and short. We were able to get a standard size ford expedition to fit but I would not have been able to get out of the vehicle if I were five pounds heavier. Plan accordingly if you’re bringing a truck or anything bigger than an expedition.

Thrilled to hear the property and experience lived up to expectations. Thank you also for the practical parking tip, which is genuinely useful for future guests bringing larger vehicles, and we've shared it with our team. Sounds like you managed the Expedition with room to spare, barely. We would love to welcome you back for that return trip.

We enjoyed the lodging as well as the proximity to the beach. One slight drawback, was the noise from the upstairs guests, not that they were loud, just them walking was a bit bothersome. Great visit, and next time we will be getting the upstairs unit!

Thank you for your review—we’re so glad you enjoyed the home and its proximity to the beach! We appreciate your note about the noise from upstairs. While some sound transfer can occur in multi-level properties, we understand how that can impact the experience and will continue looking for ways to improve guest comfort. We’d love to host you again—hopefully in the upstairs unit next time!

Convenient stay

The place was clean and in good shape. Telling from the images we had expected to have another apartment in the same building, but that was not the case. However, we felt really comfortable in our place and the service was excellent: We had an issue with a toaster and the door lock - and both problems were solved within minutes and super-friendly.

It's a pleasure to be here

Normally I see 5 stars in cleanliness, but this place could be in 10 stars, the cleanest place where I stayed, it is the aspect that my family gives most importance, but this place left us impressed, in addition to the attention of the host, always attentive and in communication with us, the place is super accessible and you can enjoy the beach morning, afternoon and night, because you have it 1 minute away. Beautiful and peaceful place

Velvet Sand II Review

The good stuff: Great location with lots of restaurants and bars between Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Balboa Island and Laguna Beach! Garage-Can hold a full size truck, electric charging station, washer/dryer, beach chairs. Outdoor shower for after the beach behind the garage. Street parking was also available throughout the day and night. Linens-plenty of them and they were all clean. Kitchen-lots of supplies such as plates, silverware, cups, coffee maker. Fridge is awesome-so cold! Beds-both were comfortable. Appreciated the floor fan for the room as well as the hangers. TV-every room had them. Streaming tv somewhat difficult to figure out but we got it. Proximity to beach-literally a 15sec walk to the beach. Perfect! The shower in the bathroom is giant! The middle of the road: Communication with property manager before the stay was slow. But, during the stay they were pretty responsive. The bad stuff: Noise from 2nd floor-you can hear every footstep from the people above this unit. We reached out to the management company for help with this but it didn’t get better. The Pet Fee was a bit excessive per animal. Toilets need to be updated to elongated toilets way to small for normal size human. The closet door in the queen bed room is off the tracks. The bathtub stopper in the bathroom doesn’t work. Depending on if you’re a light sleeper and what time you go to bed and walk up. The street traffic was semi loud with the windows open.
