Hidden Gem - Perfect for the Summer

My son and daughter stayed in this lovely apartment for the summer while he attended an internship and she worked a fun summer job. The location was perfect for both. Easy access to work and the beach. The apartment was better than expected. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms afforded an ample amount of privacy and at the same time it allowed for easy communal living. Our host was fantastic. Easy to communicate with and work with. It made our stay so much easier. I highly recommend this VRBO to anyone looking for a fun beach retreat.

Great host!

My family had an amazing stay at Mary's place! The accommodation was exactly as described – clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything needed. The location was perfect, close to Hunting Beach Center. What really stood out was Mary's hospitality. She was incredibly welcoming, always responsive to any questions, and went out of her way to make sure my family had a great stay. We highly recommend staying here and my family would love to come back again!

5 weeks

This property is an upstairs sweet with 2 bed rooms 2 bathrooms. The host is present downstairs, she was very helpful. I stayed 5 weeks for work, and my wife and sister in law stayed for a portion of the trip. Overall, the place was satisfactory except for there not being any laundry in unit. The neighborhood is nice and quiet with a short walk to the beach and restaurants. Overall, one of the better places that I have stayed at throughout my travels.

Home away from home

We stayed here for 1 month. Great location with ample space. Backyard has a bbq island and fire pit for guests. You can also rent bikes from owner and bike to the beach in minutes. Mary (property owner) is a really great person. Always available if needed. She really makes you feel comfortable staying at her rental. We would highly recommend anybody to stay at this location.

Beach retreat

Enjoyed our stay at this very roomy and comfortable second story vrbo. Plenty of room and options at this place - everything you need plus a very nice back yard - easy walk to downtown and beach unless you are carrying a lot of gear. HB is a very walkable town and the homes and yards are well kept and varied types of homes for nice surroundings and scenery. Even during partial COVID lockdown HB is visitor friendly with many restaurants offering outdoor dining. Beach days are easy - drive to main parking lots on PCH and rent chairs umbrellas or bikes from Dwights - wide open beach and ocean access. Mary was very responsive and although we did not have any issues during our stay, info and contact options were clearly communicated and available. Plenty of street parking and grocery/shopping options also easy to find nearby. Will definitely return :)

Good location

The property was clean and it’s in good location, a walking distance to HB downtown and Pier. Mary is very helpful. The only thing off was the toilet in the master bedroom was broken and it was replaced on the second day of the stay. It would be professionally handled if it was fixed before the checkin date / time.

Memorable, fun family get together

Ideal for our purpose three adults and two kids. Close enough to walk to Beach, Pier or Main Street. It's an easier Drive when you carry Beach gear. Don't worry about no air conditioning. Plenty of fans to maintain the cool. Nights are cool enough you don't need the fans. Older home well maintained. Mary was very nice to chat with and always ready to accommodate us. Thanks for a great vacation!

Great for a getaway!

The set up of the house is perfect for a family but may not be the best set up for all adults as the only entrance is through the master bedroom. With my family - this was no problem, and we liked the layout of the property. Plenty of towels for showering plus plenty of beach towels. Fairly quiet location with the exception of home construction across the street - but that should be done soon. Easy street parking right in front of the house - no need to drive all over looking for parking. Would stay here again!
