Great beach location

Scott was very responsive, usually responding to a question or issue within 5 minutes. All minor issues were resolved promptly. This is a great location directly across the PCH and convenient to all the great restaurants on Main Street. It was very convenient to have underground secure parking as well. We enjoyed our winter stay and great weather.

Never disappoints

This is our 3rd June spent at this beautiful condo and once again, we were so happy that we booked it! Scott is wonderful to work with from check in to check out! The location can’t be beat! We walked to Main St most everyday for a meal, shopping, or an after dinner ice cream cone. The beach is soooo close that a quick visit to the ocean can be done a couple of times a day. We had our 2 1/2 year old niece visiting and we did the ocean in the morning, back to the condo for lunch and a nap, and then back to the beach in the afternoon. Long story short…..the PERFECT location! Thank you Scott and Jodi for another wonderful stay and we are looking forward to staying again next summer.

Best location and best host

We stayed at the location for about 5 weeks. Property location is great! Right across from the beach and a playground. Huntington Beach activities and Pier are in few minutes walk distance. Parking is very easy and secure. Building access is very secure. Neighbors are very friendly. Property had everything necessary for comfortable stay. Host Scott goes above and beyond for answering and helping with any questions. He made everything very easy as we traveled across the country and felt a bit out of place at first. He answered everything in a manner of minutes. We love the place and the town. It was a great California experience. Thank you for sharing your house with us. Highly recommend!

Best property manager!

The apartment was luxuriously comfortable, outfitted with 4 beds that guaranteed great sleeping and situated in the interior of a supremely quite condo complex inhabited by few residents. The patio with a fire pit and fountain was a welcome bonus on cool evenings, as was the hot tub located a few steps from the apt. With the sprawling Huntington beach across the street, we were never at a loss for activity. The throngs of surfers and the boardwalk parade of people and dogs easily made one forget the isolating pandemic. The property owner even left cruiser bikes for guests’ use. The kitchen was relatively well-equipped for cooking on the nights we didn’t pick up food from one of the many excellent restaurants in the neighborhood – all within walking distance. Best of all, the owners were responsive to every concern, sending over their handyman to fix minor problems they had not been able to address because of Covid travel restrictions. We have been renting through VRBO for many years, and these owners were by far the best of the VRBO bunch. Wish the apartment had more natural light (it’s in an interior courtyard, with no views of the outdoors), but that short-coming paled in comparison to the other creature comforts and amenities.

Hi Sherry, Thank you for the positive review!!! When selecting this condo to buy we concentrated on location, location, location and it checks all the boxes. We purposely chose this unit as it has the courtyard view vs. the PCH view. Although we initially wanted to see the beach from our balcony however the road noise from PCH can sometimes be overwhelming, especially during the summer months. The view from the hot tub allows us all we ever need to see and the courtyard location provides the extra quietness when looking to get away from the action HB can provide! We certainly appreciate the fact you enjoyed us as hosts, we strive to provide the same experience for all of our renters! Thanks, Scott & Jodie

Calming Relaxation

Our stay was very relaxing and in a perfect location across the street from the beach. The condo is located in a very quiet location. The covered patio area was our favorite place to read, sleep, and take advantage of the privacy it afforded us. The owner is very helpful and response time is immediate to any of our questions. In addition the location is within walking distance to many different stores, post office, restaurants, and the popular Huntington Beach Pier. We would recommend this rental to families as well as couples. Thank you Scott

We really enjoyed our stay in Huntington Beach. What we liked the best was the location. The condo was right across the street from the beach and only a short walk to the pier, restaurants, and beach shops. The kitchen was well stocked. Their were plenty of towels and beach gear. We enjoyed the hot tub on the property as well. Beautiful hard wood floors and a comfortable bed.

All-round outstanding - Location and Property

The location is perfect for Huntington Beach - you can't beat staying across the street from the beach/ocean! Plus, it's an easy walk to Main street where all the action is. The condo was very clean, spacious two bedrooms with two bathrooms, and a comfortable layout. They provided beach equipment and bikes. Loved the outdoor patio as well as the shared hot tub! The owner was great at responding to emails, answering questions, and provides good instructions on how to get into the unit, use the tv, etc. I have no reservation in saying this was a perfect rental experience.

Wonderful Condo

Clean and inviting. Close to ocean, Main St and the Huntington Pier. Choose to make some of your meals or eat at some of the great restaurants that are within walking distance. If you have a car go to the "Seafood Zone" on McFadden Ave. Good food and cheap! The location of this condo is great because the ocean is right across the street. Surfers are out everyday. spent time watching them. Don't pack lots of clothes, wash them in the washer and dryer in the condo. Fireplace makes for a very cozy evening. Would "go in a minute" back to this place.! Feels like home---- .

Thanksgiving at the beach

My husband and I were blessed to spend the Thanksgiving holiday at this condo. It was clean, well furnished and the grounds and hot tub were well kept. The size was perfect to accommodate visits from family and friend's in the area as well. The owner was very nice and prompt to answer questions. Best of all, great location to enjoy all HB has to offer, all within walking distance.

About the host

Hosted by Scott Cunningham & Jodie King

Host profile image
We have travelled extensively with work and were always looking for a vacation rental property that we could also use. Our search always lead us back to Huntington Beach as the lifestyle and amenities, coupled with a great location and terrific weather all year is really tough to find anywhere else.

Why they chose this property

Where else can you be on the beach, decide to go on a wine tour, maybe head to a hockey game, ball game or basketball game, maybe take friends and family to an amusement park, visit Hollywood or trek off to Vegas(4 hours) at the drop off a hat?

Coupled with great restaurants, a laid back surfing attitude and great people watching opportunities HB really can't be beat!

Our property is literally STEPS from the beach, out the door, across PCH and you are standing on one of the most iconic beaches in the World.

HB is not called "Surf City" for no reason, it is home to a dedicated group of daily surfers, windsurfers, pedal bikers, volleyball players that give the beach a great atmosphere just to hang out and watch all of the activities.

What makes this property unique

HB has a small town feel coupled with high end options from dining to shopping. A new large outdoor mall is soon to open, Pacific City, along with more restaurants and attractions that will increase HB as a major vacation destination.

Every Tuesday the City of HB holds a market garden on main street. This mainstay event is complimented by weekly activities on and around the beach and pier that give visitors non stop alternatives for activities to attend.

Whether you choose to relax on the beach with a book, learn to surf, go deep sea fishing, golf, attend wine tours or any other activity you can think of HB is a great home base.

Our Condo is Located:

2 minutes to the Beach
5 minutes to Main Street & The Pier
10 minutes to Newport Beach (25 minutes by bike on the bike path)
20 minutes to Disneyland / Honda Center / Angel Stadium
25 minutes to John Wayne / Orange County Airport
30 minutes to Laguna Beach
45 minutes to LAX
50 minutes to The Staples Center
60 minutes to Hollywood
60 minutes to San Diego
70 minutes to Six Flags
4 hours to Vegas

However there is not a single reason you would need to leave HB as it is a very vibrant community. In the 5 years and numerous times we have been down to our place we have still yet to experience everything the city has to offer and it can all be done either on foot or by bike, of which we have 2 at the condo.
