I spent the month of August here. What you see in the photos is what you get. The condo IS very definitely on the beach! And it is the only one. Everything else is on the other side of Pacific Coast Highway, and that is what makes it very special. That is, if you like to hear the sound of the waves all day/night and unimpeded spectacular sunset views, and a clear view of the Huntington Pier and the surfers every day. It was just what I was looking for. The landlord, Henry Novell, lives nearby and demonstrated his availability whenever needed. He even offered a TV tutorial…which was very welcome! The kitchen is fully equipped. There are beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, beach cooler as well. Lots of great coffee shops nearby, and the BEST Mexican food. I planned to do some sightseeing in SoCal but I really never wanted to leave the beach! This is a great place to get away and enjoy the sun and the surf!
