Great location and views, but both sets of folding glass patio doors were inoperable, greatly diminishing property enjoyment. This issue was not disclosed.

This property (Unit A) is a pure aesthetic experience of the pacific ocean. We stayed in good weather and were mesmerized by the early morning fog, moonlit water, golden afternoon light. The architecture provides beautiful simplicity. You couldn't pay for better seats at a fancy restaurant so you might was well eat in. I want everyone I know and care about to have some time to relax there. The cedar shake clad midcentury style property is tucked out of site down a long steep hill.

The house was really nice. The kitchen was not equipped for cooking all meals. Knives are dull, the oven is small and two electric burners.
We were fine not wearing shoes since we don't in our own homes, but the cleanig crew did not clean the floors well. Debris in corners and was not mopped. The bottoms of our feet were really dirty after 10 minutes in the house. I had to go out and buy slippers to wear in the house.
8.0 / 10.0
A dramatic place that certainly was unique. I had pulled a muscle in my leg right before our stay. We were not aware that the walk from parking the car to the unit was quite a steep grade. That made our visit a bit of a challenge with bags in tow. Next issue, which may not bother some, it was hot. There were some fans but it made for sleepless nights. Maybe we need to toughen up a bit. It was a surprise. I grew up on the beach and I don't think we had AC either. But this was different. Finally, lots and lots of ants. It's the beach and stuff happens but this was a surprise, too.
Those gripes aside, the place is unique and remarkable. If you like the ocean and love some drama this place is awesome.
10.0 / 10.0
The house is beautiful, fantastic view over the water. The one thing I feel should be made clear - a VERY steep driveway (200+ feet)which we were not made aware of. The problem being, you are expected to walk up and down this driveway - day or night. If someone has any mobility issues or bringing in large, heavy suitcases this is a huge problem. We did figure out that we could move the traffic cone, drive down to deliver passengers and suitcases and turn around to drive back up and park. But those are not the instructions - park at the top. The host was very responsive to every request, but that driveway should be noted in the listing or when booking.

Very good location with well appointed living space. Beautiful ocean views and great sunsets. Kitchen has everything we needed and more. Shelly, the manager, was very nice and helpful.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home. Can’t get any better than having the ocean right at your back door. Home has everything you need(appliances, blankets, shampoo/soap,ect). As others have noted, there is a steep driveway going down to the house and steps down to the beach. But we had a very relaxing time and enjoyed sleeping to the sound of the ocean

We had a lovely few days at this gorgeous beach house. The location is fantastic, right over the water. It's a stunning setting. We watched dolphins and a very reliable seal (almost always in the same place in our 'ocean front yard'. The house is beautiful - nicely decorated, very well appointed, and private. Shelly was responsive and helpful. We hope to rent the Strand Hus again sometime soon.

Strand Hus is a chic, well curated property that takes full advantage of the views and surf.
8.0 / 10.0
Clean and modern beach condo. Absolutely right on the ocean with waves crashing beneath you! I really liked it. If we could change anything, it would be to upgrade the pillows- they're a little ancient.
The fire alarm did go off from 3 AM night one night for no fire reason- we ended up climbing up to unplug the device and setting it outside until we departed the next day. The manager was very kind, but the owner didn't care or offer an apology.
This made me want to stay in a hotel the next time since this was over $1k a night to stay here.

Surreal home on the water, a dream to stay there. Shelley was very hospitable!

30th Anniversary get away weekend. What a great place!!! My wife and I enjoyed our time. Ocean sounds, views and a bonus with the birds nesting in tree right outside the front door. Heated floors were a nice bonus. All the amenities add to the overall atmosphere. Visit Summerland you won’t be disappointed. We would definitely stay again. Communication was very easy and the little reminders around space are helpful.

We stayed in Summerland for the weekend to attend a wedding. My son and his girlfriend stayed with us (4 people total). We could not have asked for a better place to stay. This home is fabulous, peaceful, and comfortable. We didn't want to leave! Comfortable beds, powerful showers, plenty of space, and the view is out of this world. If you are looking for a relaxing place to unwind and enjoy nature and the wonderful sound of the ocean, this is it. We watched dolphins, sea lions, and beautiful birds each morning, with a hot cup of coffee in hand. We hope to be back sometime in the near future.... this place is as good as therapy. :)

We celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary, Amazing 5 days! Go, Book, and Enjoy . Shelly the manager of the property is wonderful! Walk the beach daily. Go to Tinkers for a burger, Red Kettle for morning coffee! We walked to both! Close drive to Grocery, Starbucks, shopping, just 45 minutes to winery’s ( Firestone, Sunstone,etc) . Have a drink at Rosewood Miramar which is also a short drive up the street , but hurry back to this amazing home, to hear and see the ocean .You will not want to be gone long! Doors - windows open to peace and a view that is rare to find , you liteally feel like your in the ocean! ! Secluded , private and PERFECT! This house has it ALL! We plan to come back yearly! Thank you for an amazing much needed vacation ! You may see dolphins or a occasional celebrity in town ( we witnessed both) Until we book again……

10.0 / 10.0
This property is simply amazing. This is the only house within miles that is literally perched right on the beach. Most houses are up on the bluff and set back from the edge somewhat. This house is on stilts directly over the sea wall. The sound of the waves is incredible to sleep and wake to.
The house is very well appointed. Kitchen appliances are Miele and Subzero for example and the master bathroom tile is heated.
The southern exposure towards the Channel Islands is beautiful and ever changing. It’s too bad there are some oil platforms about 5 miles off the coast but that’s the only negative I can think of. We had an awesome 5 days and can’t wait to come back.
The host, Shelly, was prompt in all communications and she has helpful instructions for checkin/out so it was all a breeze.
In our search to find a beachfront rental that was “iconic”, i.e. unique enough that we will never forget the house, this fit the bill perfectly.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We walked along the beach every morning, listened to the waves all night, and a very b private location. And Shelly is great! We will be returning.

This house is AMAZING! I felt like a Queen. The owners clearly paid a lot of attention to detail when designing it because everything is so modern, comfortable, and luxurious. And you’re right in the water, literally! Highly reccomend!
5.0 / 10.0
To say our stay was equivalent to a 5 Star Hotel is an understatement. The location, amenities, furnishings, level of cleanliness, communications with Shelly, all were an A+. We have stayed at the finest hotels around the globe and as a result of COVID chose to stay socially distanced and close to home this season. The Strand Hus was beyond what we were anticipating, we hope to visit again very soon.

Wow what an amazing and lovely place. The pictures don't do it justice. Close to so many great spots and yet so private. Kind of hidden beach access and the beach is quiet and clean. We can't wait to stay again!!
5.0 / 10.0
Loved the sounds of the waves, the La Cantina doors open up the outside to the inside, making it a spectacular home. You can't sleep any closer to the water, unless you were on the sand! I do think the owners should invest in a softer, more comfortable, king size bed for the master. Other than that, there is attention to detail everywhere in the place. Great restaurants all around. Late October was overcast everyday. The train (Coastliner) goes by, right behind, but it's not very often or as loud as I thought it would be. (Except if he blows his horn) Guest bedroom has its own onsuite, automatic blinds everywhere. All in all, great place for our 25th. Shelly was great! Thank you.
