Huntington Beach

"This is a very nice home with tons of space. We easily slept 11 people in this home and still had room for more. The three bathrooms made the stay easy as well, with no fighting over the bathroom use, and reduced the time it took for everyone to get ready in the morning. The fact that there was two parking spaces made the stay easy as well, as the street tends to get pretty full right outside this property. We did have 4 cars, but we were able to condense down to only two cars for most of our site seeing adventures. We took day trips to Huntington beach, Newport beach and Disneyland - All really close to this location. We also drove across the city to the museums in La Brea, visited Venice and Santa Monica Piers and Beaches, as well as shopped in China Town. We loved the fact that the grocery store was right across the street to stock up on food items, and some of the best restaurants in town are right by the grocery store as well (if you need a night off from cooking). We also had fun walking the dog around the well maintained neighborhood with the kids, and going to the playground at the school (while it was open for the summer). The back yard is dusty and does back right up to a semi busy road, but we felt safe during our stay, and enjoyed hanging out a night in the back yard. We hit up the BBQ in the back yard for a family diner for sure. The fireplace was not working, but it was the middle of summer, so we did not care about that much. This place also has AC, which came in great in the upstairs rooms trying to sleep on a hot summer night!! That was a big plus!"

"This rental is ideal for 1 or 2 people. It is well maintained and very clean. I had a slight plumbing problem due to roots in the line which was resolved the same day that I contacted the owner. He is very accommodating and helpful. It is small, but detached from the main home with a fountain by the door for ambiance. There is a sitting area with a flat screen TV and a small table for dining with a full kitchenette with a full-sized refrigerator. The bathroom is small with a compact shower, but suited my purposes fine. Great location near HB and shops as well as easy access in and out of the area. There are laundry facilities available with an ironing board and iron on site. Parking was inside a garage. They provided 2 different choices for AC, but this near the beach would probably not be needed. For a few nights, there were other guests in the larger unit who chose to smoke outside. Since I am highly allergic to smoke, I just shut the window and turned on the AC until they went inside and air outside was clean for an open window. When visiting this area again, I would definitely consider staying here."
