We had to move after one day because of water issues with the bathroom to a place that was bigger but very outdated with poor kitchen, owner was polite but we never would have rented that type of home. Location was good but many issues with property.

Beautiful AND Dog Friendly!

Beautifully decorated with lots of special touches - from extra toothbrushes & paste in the bathrooms, to mints & water by the beds, to fresh-baked cookies in the kitchen. The large space out back was perfect for walking the dogs, and the neighborhood was lovely and quiet. We enjoyed our stay!

Amazing house and location

This house was great! Very clean, very modern, amazing kitchen! We were able to bring our 4 dogs which meant the world to us especially our children. The location is great, very close to stores, restaurants, gas stations and just a short drive to the beach. The owners were great and responded quickly to anything we needed. Would definitely recommend this house and stay again!

Beautiful cottage in a serene setting minutes from all attractions.

This cottage was spotless and beautifully appointed. Both the owner and property manager were welcoming and responsive. For those traveling with pets, the cottage has generous green space, and is in a beautifully walkable location. Beds are comfy, the kitchen is a cook's delight, and the shower is a luxorious experience! We will be back@ manrestaurants.

We had a lovely stay here at this hidden gem for our first visit to the area! So clean and beautifully decorated-fully furnished to the detail! Extremely fast communication to the property management. So appreciative of the Huntington Beach Park pass provided! Convenient to everything and in a sweet and quiet location.

Liked: Location
This sweet little cottage is definitely a gem conveniently located near restaurants and attractions. It is beautifully decorated and has all the amenities needed for a relaxing vacation. Unfortunately, I can only give this property a 4 star rating due to several issues we encountered. We arrived at the property at 2:45p and knew we had to wait til 3p to enter the rental. The cleaning lady was there and said she was late getting started and it would be a few extra minutes past check-in time before she finished. We were not happy, but waited patiently for her to finish. We were able to access the property at 3:35p, well beyond the stated check-in time. The house smelled moldy due to the cleaning lady using a black moldy mop with dirty water as well as several appliances being left dirty. The sliding doors to the Jack-n-Jill shower do not lock, the sink stopper in one of the bathrooms is broken and a vanity glass light cover is broken in the other bathroom. I am hopeful these issues will be addressed so future guests can enjoy this sweet little property.
