"Prior to arriving our host Kim had contacted us to ensure check was easy. She even coordinated an early check in based on our flight time. The LiTTLe house or cabin was exactly as it looks. For us it was perfect and we fully enjoyed the layout and decor! It was very clean, well thought out, and had anything you could think of there. It was obvious to us a lot of care and thought and planning went into making this home this way! The close location to the Marshwalk and the Huntington Beach Park are an additional benefit! So much to do and see in the area! Thank You!"

The bedrooms were spacious and everyone loved having their own bathroom. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to cook for 10 people and the dining tables had enough room for everyone to have a seat. The owner quickly responded to all our questions and needs. Bonus it even had an elevator to haul things upstairs! We enjoyed our stay very much."

"We absolutely loved our stay. The link for the review won’t let me go past 4 stars for a good rating. This house deserves a 5 star excellent rating across the board. We absolutely loved our stay at this adorable beach house! The location was perfect, and the house was incredibly clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. You can tell a lot of thought went into making it feel welcoming and special. The guest book with recommendations was great! The beds were super comfortable, and the kitchen was very well stocked—even the pots and pans were great, which you don’t always find in a rental! We especially loved the large back porch. It was such an inviting space to relax and enjoy some downtime.Everything about the house made for an easy, relaxing beach getaway. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!"
