Classic & Affordable Beach Cottage! A Short & Easy Walk To The Sand!
About this house rental
Nestled in Huntington Beach, this lovely house for $375 per night is a great choice for your next trip. ***Please email owner for current calendar, detailed quote, and minimum-stay requirements. Our beautiful, charming and affordable classic beach cottage is located in world-famous downtown Huntington Beach, a.k.a. Surf City USA, home to the annual US Surfing Open! The cottage is within a SHORT & EASY WALK to Main Street, the Pacific Ocean, Pacific City, miles of white-sand beaches with amazing surfing, the iconic HB pier, tons of restaurants and pubs, Starbucks, Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, local coffee joints, shops, delis, CVS, 7-Eleven, and much more. Our cottage is lovingly cared by our family who has owned the property for many years and is our son, Cab's, favorite place to be. Our cottage was built in 1924. We lived in the cottage with our family for several years, and updated the bathrooms, kitchen and other amenities. But, we were careful to maintain the cottage’s original character. You will find our home has lots of beach cottage charm, yet it is functional and a wonderful place to stay. Our cottage is a real home, and it is not a hotel by any means. Our cottage is truly one of the originally-designed and small-but-mighty beach cottages of coastal California. The cottage has many of the original features along with multiple comfort-inspired upgrades. You will enjoy a 1,000 square foot classic beach cottage with gorgeous beach-inspired decor throughout the 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, which features Bedroom #1 with a queen-size bed and attached Jack-and-Jill bathroom; Bedroom #2 with a twin-size bed and built-in office, roll-a-way twin bed, and access to the Jack-and-Jill bathroom; and Bedroom #3 with a queen-size bed and fold-out twin size bed. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, utensils, glassware, Tupperware plates/cups/utensils for kids, pots & pans, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, full-size island stove and oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, and island seating for 5 people. The cottage also features a private picket-fenced front yard with porch, large fenced back yard with bench seating and a Weber BBQ, 2 televisions with complimentary cable, complimentary wireless internet access for use with your personal devices, washer and dryer, 2-car parking (*please see important parking information below), Radio Flyer wagon for beach gear and kids, beach toys for kids, toys and books, high chair, pack-n-play, 2 baby gates, 2 adults beach cruisers, 2 kids' bikes, 2 boogie boards, 1 beach umbrella, linens, iron & ironing board, hair blow dryer, plenty of white bathroom towels, and a stack of beach towels for your use at the beach. The charming beach cottage is perfect for a family vacation or romantic get-away. Within a close drive, you can enjoy all that Orange County has to offer, such as Disneyland & California Adventure Parks, Knott's Berry Farm, Medieval Times, South Coast Plaza Shopping Mall in Costa Mesa, Fashion Island Mall in Newport Beach, Balboa & Lido Island in Newport Beach, Corona Del Mar, Laguna Beach, Sunset Beach, and Seal Beach ... Less than a 1-hour drive away, without traffic, you can enjoy the Long Beach Aquarium, Los Angeles, Hollywood, and Universal Studios ... and, San Diego is also about a 1.5 hour drive away, without traffic, where you can visit the San Diego Zoo & Wild Animal Park, Sea World, and Legoland! * PARKING: Car parking at popular southern California beach towns is tough, especially when a house or establishment is a close distance to the beach. Our cottage in downtown Huntington Beach has no exception to the parking crunch because it is within walking distance to the beach and pier. However, we are lucky to have a shared driveway and a garage. We offer our guests the option to park in the garage, directly in front of the garage, or on the street. The driveway is shared with our neighbors, so we ask that our guests never block the driveway at any time. There are gates on the driveway – that require guests to manually open/close the gates before driving up/down the driveway. The driveway is original to the cottage and it is narrow (this makes it difficult but not impossible to park larger vehicles), so we ask that our guests take it slow and be cautious when driving in and backing out. There is a limit of 2 cars on the property at all times. After many failed/broken automatic garage door clickers, we learned a valuable lesson that a simple manual garage door handle never fails! To access our garage, the garage door opens manually and easily by using a center handle on the front of the garage door. Any visitors of registered guests must always park on the street, at all times. In all, we are lucky to provide our guests with parking, but we want to be sure our guests understand the quirks of parking at our cottage, and, in general, just how limited parking is in a popular southern California beach town!

We had a very great stay.
The house has a great location and is very quiet. The garden with barbecue is great.
The garage is well equipped with bikes, beach chairs and umbrella. The communication with Chander was great. Thank you very much.

The house is in fantastic location and close to main st and Beach.
The house has everything you needed with the added bonus of car parking space.
The house is old and nearly 100 years old, it needs little bit of work to it but otherwise it’s has everything you need for good holiday.
The whole family enjoyed the house and didn’t want to leave.
Hopefully when we come back to Huntingdon beach from the UK we will look to stay there again.

We stayed 4 nights with our family of 4. Perfect location. Loved having th bikes and beach accessories that were offered with the house. Everything we needed for a perfect little trip!
4.0
The location was perfect! Close to shopping, restaurants and the beach!
The entire house needs a deep clean. Under cabinets, drawers, fridge/freezer, all floors need to be cleaned. There were crumbs/dirt everywhere. The sink in the kitchen smells.
If the house was clean, the property would be great!

Great little surf bungalow, 5 minute walk to the Huntington Beach Pier. Plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance. Cute front porch to enjoy a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. Great for children, no stairs and a little fenced back yard area. We would definitely return for another fun Huntington Beach family vacation!!!!!

We absolutely loved our stay here, it suited our needs perfectly. Very well equipped and everything provided that we needed. Coming from overseas we particularly appreciated use of the beach gear in the garage as we otherwise would have had to hire it.
Location was great, just a short walk to main st.
Highly recommended!

A great property with nice amenities, and a great location with accessibility to the beach and shops. Clean and comfortable, and the kitchen is well equipped with core items needed to actually cook (which we appreciated!) We loved the beach cruisers bikes, and beach chairs and toys.
Distance to the beach—my group never walked down ( a little too far for us), but took the bikes a number of times and it was an easy quick ride.
We loved our stay, and would definitely stay again in the future. Thanks!

We can’t say enough about how pleased we were with our stay at this Huntington Beach cottage! A true gem.
The weather was ideal and the walk to downtown, the beach and pier is very easy and picturesque.
The charming home in a quaint neighborhood was built in the 1920’s and has an aura of nostalgia yet maintained and updated with modern features. The décor is pleasantly beach-themed with attention to detail. The beds and furniture were very cozy and comfortable.
We cooked many meals in the well-stocked kitchen and enjoyed just spending time at the cottage, including the rocking chairs on the front porch, and BBQing in the backyard.
There’s a roomy garage where we could park our car, and all the beach essentials were provided including folding chairs, umbrellas, sand toys, and a nice wagon that made it easy to load up and head to the sand.
Incredibly, beach bike cruisers were also provided which topped off our ultimate beach experience.
We didn't have kids with us, but were impressed with all the essentials provided such as highchairs, cribs, gates, toys, eating utensils, etc.
Chander is an excellent host and was very communicative and responsive. The cottage was absolutely clean and spotless.
We are already planning a return trip as this amazing beach cottage was a magnificent find!

Well equiped cottage with bikes and a great kitchen as well as a bbq in the private back yard. Very close to town and the beach. Fun in the sun! Thanks for the spring break memories for our family.

This cottage is in a great position in Huntington Beach, just a short walk to all the action and an even shorter bike ride! Whilst compact for our group of 6 the cottage worked really well and had great amenities.
Chander was very responsive and helped us access the cottage when a data issue on our phones didn't allow us to pull up the information having just flown in from New Zealand.
Excellent value, thoughtful amenities, very clean and a responsive host... just book it!
PS. The beach cruisers are a nice bonus, we really enjoyed riding around the area!

This vacation home is nothing short of perfect! It's located on a quiet street in a lovely neighborhood just minutes from Main St. and the Pier. Our host, Chander, was so accommodating and was just a text away. The set up of the home is perfect for families and the yard was a beautiful, private setting for a family BBQ get together. Overall our stay was an A+!!! We will definitely be back!!

We had a wonderful time while staying in Chander’s cottage. Lots of space for our family of 4. Communication leading up to our stay was super clear and we found everything just as indicated in the listing.
We loved being within walking distance of the beach, grocery store, coffee shops and restaurants. We started each day by having our coffee on the veranda, sitting in the comfy rocking chairs.
Thanks for a great stay Chander! We hope to back again soon.
