About this house rental
This ground floor "bottom" unit dream house built with growing families in mind. Very comfortable queen sized beds and bunk beds This 3 bedroom luxury home sleeps 8 comfortably. Includes Wireless Internet access, flat screen TV, Cable Programming. The “lower” beach level home is a 1200 sq. ft. 3-bedroom with 2-bathrooms with occupancy limit of 8 and offers exclusive use of the beach deck. Sunset Beach sits within a green belt of non-metered overnight public.
Sunset Beach is the most northern portion of Huntington Beach and is a wonderful one-mile long “small town”, with year around events, it is close to many Southern California attractions - but nestled away on a beautiful un-crowded white sandy beach. Its name gives away our secret of breath taking sunsets and views of Catalina Island from these dream homes. Each home is approximately 6 miles from the Huntington Beach pier and just over 1 mile from the Seal Beach pier.
Sunset Beach is a beautiful, cozy beachfront community. It is located just northwest of Huntington Beach (Surf City) in Orange County, California. The two best features of Sunset beach is the fact that it is one of the widest beaches in southern California and the Green Belt that runs parallel to the beach from the northern edge of town to the southern edge of town. The Sunset Beach Green belt is great for walking, exercising or just sitting and enjoying the amazing ocean view. Since the beach is so wide and there are no beach vendors or buildings the sunset looks amazing. Sunset Beach is truly one of California’s gems. Typical local entertainment includes romantic beach walks, swimming, surfing, surf-fishing, bicycle riding, sunbathing, reading, relaxing, great restaurants, and just about any other fun activity that one can dream up.
Sunset Beach sits within a green belt of non-metered overnight public parking. There is typically parking all around the home at all times of the year. You can see aerial view of parking by mapping address 16525 S Pacific Ave. Sunset Beach, CA.
The building consists of two individual units which rent separately. The “lower” beach level home is a 1200 sq. ft. 3-bedroom with 2-bathrooms with occupancy limit of 8 and offers exclusive use of the beach deck. The “upper” home consists of upper floors 2 & 3, occupancy limit of 12 with 5-bedrooms, 4.5-bathrooms at 3800 sq. ft. and a 3rd floor deck with outdoor fireplace. The garage is attached to the “upper” home and is for the exclusive use of the “upper” home. Upper home can be found at https://www.vrbo.com/254059ha. Each home has entrances on opposite sides of the building, each home has their own paths to the beach, and their own outdoor showers. The homes do not share any amenities.

What a great surprise! The house looked beautiful in the pictures but to see it in person is a whole different perspective. Just beautiful, and roomy and inviting. This home has all the amenities I wanted, there was nothing I needed while I was there that wasn't furnished. I'll definitely be staying again, but next time it will be for a longer period of time.

Right. On. The. Sand. Exactly what we needed: roll out of bed, grab a cup of coffee on the way out the door to the deck and the sand. Walking distance to local bars, brewery, Starbucks, restaurants.

Our visit was to celebrate our 55th high school reunion from a high school in Long Beach. Great location, as every thing we did was just 20 mins away from the beach! Access is easy with traffic lights to cross Hwy 1. My only disappointment was that the big sliding door in the living room was not functioning properly. Only half of it opened, and that part has a damaged track. It took two men to both open and close it, and it was very hard to secure....This needs to be fixed before I'm using the last star in my review.!

Place was clean and nice but a lot of things did not work, The outdoor grill did not work, The umbrellas for the table outside was broken, vacuum did not work the dishwasher was broken. I would stay there again but they really need to fix the amenities.

Walking out the patio directly onto the beach was amazing. Unfortunately we got bad luck with the weather as the wind was so strong the sand blowing was hard to be outside. We got one good morning and took full advantage of it! The patio doors are a bit hard to operate. Would not take much to fix though...tighten some screws and add some WD-40. Rooms are much smaller than expected and master bathroom needs some updating. The best thing I would suggest adding is to provide some coffee for guests staying short stays.

It's a wonderful location but the property needs some maintenance. The view of the ocean is blocked by the preperations for winter storms (man made sand dune?). The hot water heater had to be repeatedly power cycled to have hot water. The sliding glass doors are in need of maintenance/repair - we couldn't open them. The place was clean and accommodations worked for us. I requested some compensation for the things that missed the mark but never got a reply. If not for the issues with hot water and the sliding glass doors, I would recommend and stay here again. Just trying to be fair and honest.

Property was nice in a good location. We loved being right on the beach and only a short drive to many of the things we wanted to go to.

Great location to areas we were interested in and enjoyed walking the beach

Awesome place, loved the area… loved the views….The house was great, had everything we needed. Lots of places to walk to for sights and food. I would love to come back again and stay even longer. My two boys who are 9 and 7, absolutely loved it. They played out in the sand every day. Only complaint, big sliding door needs to be lubed up. A younger person or older person would not be able to open it. Other than that, place was perfect. A++++++++ 10 out of 10

We took my dad here to celebrate his 95th birthday. The location couldn’t be better. Just open the door and the beach is right there! Sunset Beach is truly a hidden gem. Easy parking, markets and restaurants close by. My only issue was the loud footsteps from the upstairs unit late at night or early morning. Other than that it was bliss!!

My husband and I stayed with our 3 children. Unfortunately, the guests upstairs (two different groups) made our lives a bit miserable. The first group used the deck on our level (which they were not supposed to) and compromised our experience. The property owner was fabulous in dealing with them, but it was still a bummer. A second group came in and although they respected the boundaries, they were incredibly loud. Just know that the walls and ceiling are thin, and if you have a rowdy group upstairs you will not get much sleep. The location can't be beat....it is a walk right out to the beach. In the future, we will probably rent an entire house so we don't have to share or be affected by other renters.

This is our 5th time staying at this property and it’s gone way downhill since our visit last year. The first issue was the cleanliness of the house. When we arrived it smelled clean, but there were several areas on the floor that were sticky, there were random long, dark hairs in the refrigerator, the bathrooms, the master shower and on a couple walls. The kitchen counters and appliances felt grimy. I had to buy Clorox wipes to go over everything. There were huge stains covering the fabric seats of the barstools that appeared old. The duvet cover in the master smelled musty. The hand soaps in the kitchen and bathrooms were originally white but had been topped off with an orange gel soap and the result was a weird clear color and the consistency was like water and did not lather. We also had to buy hand soap for our stay. I understand hand soap might sound petty, but for the price of this house it’s really not.
The worst part of our stay were the mice. We found one in the couch on our first night and had to trap it ourselves to get it outside. I left a message for the property manager that night that went unanswered and not acknowledged. He must have called a pest control company because someone showed up the next day and set traps. It didn’t do much good because we saw another mouse on the second night. An apology, or at least a response, from the manager would have been appreciated. I don’t know if the cleanliness of the house played a part into the mice or not.
I feel bad for leaving a bad review but felt like potential renters should know. Maybe the property manager will invest in a deep clean of the house and a cleaning of the furniture.

While we were quite happy with the location on the beach, we were not happy with the fact that the A/C did not work the entire time we were there which, because of the heat wave during our stay, it was very difficult to get to sleep. In fact, a new A/C unit was being installed the day we left. The rooms were much smaller than depicted on the site and parking was very difficult. (It was Labor Day, so I guess we had to expect the parking problem)
We also had guests above us who, on the first night, had 6 kids running around until 1 am. The manager was very responsive to our complaint about the noise and the upstairs guests were very apologetic the next day.
The manager stated that he would try to get us a discount because of the lack of A/C, but we have yet to hear back from him.

For our last beach trip we rented the top part of this home and wish we would of had the whole house so this time we reserved it all and it was amazing. We loved having the patio on the sand. The property was clean and well taken care of. We would definitely come back again.
