Nice quiet location close to beach

Having stayed one block off Main Street two years ago were looking for a quieter location and this delivered. Very walkable to beach and an easy bike ride to the pier or main street (1 mile). Owners very quick to answer inquiries. Looking forward to next year!

Perfect!

Our stay could not have been better! The house is even better than the pictures, lots of space for family to spread out. Location is excellent, quiet and super friendly neighborhood, but walking distance to all the action for the adult children to have fun as well! Loved it, thank you both for having us❤️

Great short term rental experience for family during home remodel

Surf City Beach Cottage and its hosts make Surf City livin' easy! The kitchen is stocked with everything you'll need to make an amazing dinner - crock pots, blenders, serving dishes, you name it. The oversized dining room table is perfect for family game nights - there's a cabinet full of 'em! The living room couch is gigantic and perfect for lounging while watching the provided Apple TV, cable TV or DVDs. The three generous bedrooms offer comfortable beds and tons of closet space. With a full size washer and dryer, two car garage and beautiful outdoor living spaces, what's not to love? Being walking distance to dog beach was the icing on the cake! Having a safe and well appointed place to stay during our chaotic home renovation was priceless, thank you for hosting us!

Nice place, great location

A short walk to the the beach. Nicely appointed property. Try the donut shop on 17th and the Corner Market on 11th. Downtown is a little further, but a pleasant walk.

Summer Fun

My wife, dog and I enjoyed 3 months on Huntington Beach. We actually extended our stay twice. Very responsive owners. The back patio and front porch were nice places to hang out. Well-stocked kitchen and beach toys. Spacious garage with bikes, beach chairs, boogie boards. The location was great, 3 blocks to the beach, then dog beach another 2 block north. Main Street downtown just a mile away. Close to all and yet a quiet area. Easy parking. At some point, the house could use a few updates: range, TVs, cushions, but everything worked and we very much enjoyed our stay. We hope to be back:) Thx!!!

Wonderful Stay!

We were in this property for nearly 9 months while our new house was built. The owners were so prompt to fix any minor thing that broke, the place as always professionally cleaned and the neighbors were so wonderful with our little kids. Cannot say enough nice things about our stay.

Great place! as advertised

Had a wonderful time in our second home. The house was fully stocked with everything you need in terms of amenities and we stayed a month. We cooked a lot and the kitchen was perfect for that. We hung out as a family on the back porch during the morning and day and late afternoon and evening on the front porch. Great breeze from the ocean two blocks away. Huge washer dryer just right for our family size. Bikes and beach gear was at our disposable. Neighborhood bar was a blast and the beach and Main street were fun to hang out at. I would come back to this place again sometime.

Summer in Huntington Beach

For us, this property is excellent! The house is clean and well appointed; is close to the beautiful beach and Pacific Ocean; is close to town; is close to Dog Beach; accepts our pups so that they can travel with us, and the owners are very responsive. The weather is usually great and the scenery is always great. We are already looking forward to our visit to Huntington Beach and this property in 2020. Craig and Pat

Sunshine, warmth and best beach in USA.

Stayed here for the 2nd year this winter and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The cottage is comfortable with lovely outside areas and 2 blocks to beach. My two dogs love the dog beach. Owner/managers are very accessible and responsive to any requests. Recommend this property highly.

Great location

Easy access to downtown and the beach. There’s a great little pastry shop on 17th and Orange and a nice little breakfast place further down Orange on 11th. Lots of activity downtown with lots of restaurants and bars. Check out Avila’s for Mexican.

This property is in a great location, well stocked/equipped, clean and competitively priced.

Huntington Beach is a relaxing community located on some of the best beaches in California with many other activities easily accessible. This property is located just 2 short blocks to the beautiful beach and Pacific Ocean. It is also located in the "numbered streets" area of Huntington Beach and which have a unique style and quietness. The house is well appointed and arranged and very comfortable and comes with plenty of off-street parking. Plenty of non-beach activities are accessible, as well as various shopping venues. We especially enjoy the fantastic weather, the long walks on the miles of beach paths and the various roof top wine bars. An extra plus this year was the portable AC unit for those few days when the weather may get above the high 70's. We plan to stay here again in 2019. Craig/Pat September 2018

Perfect Summer Beach Getaway

We just returned from our 6 week vacation at the Surf City Beach Cottage. This darling 3 bedroom home was ideally located just over 2 short blocks from the beach and a bike ride away from the action of Main Street and Pacific City. The home itself is well stocked with everything you may need. We loved that 4 bikes were provided as well as beach toys. The owners are locals and super responsive to questions or issues with regard to the property. We hope to visit again and highly recommend this property!

our second home

Staying at surf city beach cottage was very helpful and accommodating. We were renovating our bathrooms and we needed a home to stay at that was close to ours. Perfect location, just a few streets away. We had to extend our stay a few times. Michelle and Eric were happy to do so. Michelle is attentive and friendly. The cottage has everything you need, clean, cozy and cute as well.

Lovely home and location

We stayed at this property for the month of March 2018 to avoid the Minnesota winter. Very pleasant home with all the necessary accessories. Michelle responded promptly to requests. The location was perfect for us. Close to famous Huntington Beach and downtown was a walkable distance. It was so much fun to enjoy the outside and my dogs love the dog beach. Plan to come again in 2019.

Saved the day and enjoyed the stay

Unfortunate circumstances led us looking for a temporary home quickly and boy did we hit the jackpot! Gorgeous inside and out, just two blocks to the beach, couple of blocks over from dog beach. We slept to the sounds of the waves and while our home was being gutted and rebuilt, we found refuge in this wonderful place for 5 weeks. Turnkey ready, we didn't want for a thing and the owners made sure that we had no worries while we were there. The Master bedroom and Master bath are huge, the other bedrooms were just perfect for us. The spa-like shower in the Master bath just added to the comfort we felt being in this house. The garage is enormous and it was nice not to have to park on the street, even though there was plenty of room to do so and the neighborhood seemed really safe. Could not have asked for nicer hosts - they fully accommodated our every request. Thank you, Eric and Michelle!

Great Place

The house was roomy, clean and well furnished; location was great- about 2.5 short blocks to the beach or just the right distance; about a mile to Main Street and a short walk to Dog Beach. We have stayed directly on PCH before and the noise from PCH was not pleasant and aggravated by the fact that the windows usually have to be open since not many units/homes have AC. This place is just the right distance from PCH but very close to the beach. We would stay here again.
