Lovely spot!

Lovely spot directly on the canals and across the (busy) street from the beach. Lots of restaurants, shops and movies nearby. The owners are very nice and thoughtful about the property. The property itself was a perfect beach rental - everything we needed, well though out and fun design aspects. We would return!

Great location, house and extras!

Home on the harbor. Owners were extremely kind and great to work with. Loved kayaking around the harbor. All of the extra beach toys and equipment was a bonus!

Avoid

Not clean, terrible kitchen supplies, old towels, cheap bedding, way too much deodorizer used throughout, dirty mismatched furniture, noise sensors and ring cameras everywhere. We are adults, a family with a teenager. We rent VRBOs all the time as our son has celiac disease and we like to have a kitchen when we travel. The kitchen was equipped for a college student, difficult to cook a meal. Wouldn’t recommend this rental and we rent often.

About the host

Hosted by Jan

Hello! My name is Jan and I was born and raised in Southern California! I'm so blessed to have lived along the coast of California all of my life. My husband and I have been married for over 26 years, we have 2 sons (who are both Eagle Scouts!), and we have a sweet fur baby!

I love to travel, I love new adventures, and am a foodie at heart! I've scuba dived with sharks in Tahiti, zip-lined in an Alaskan forest, hiked the Great Wall of China, and ATV'ed in a dense forest in Hawaii just to name a few of my most memorable adventures. Since I'm a So Cal local, I'd love to share with you my favorite places and restaurants!

Why they chose this property

My family and I spent 6 months renovating our unique home; Sandcastle by the Sea in Sunset Beach/Huntington Beach. Step out to the back patio and take a kayak or standup paddle board out for a calm glide down the canal. Or walk across the street and relax on the sandy beach, hunt for seashells, go surfing or build sandcastles! I've enjoyed hosting guests from all over the world and helping them have a comfortable and memorable visit.

What makes this property unique

Sandcastle by the Sea is full of charm and surprises! Our custom home has pieces from a European Cathedral and art work made from recycled oil barrels crafted by Haitian artisans. The cherry wood bedroom furniture is from Disney's Grand California Hotel! We also have a cabinet full of board games and shelves full of books for the avid reader.
