The apartment was luxuriously comfortable, outfitted with 4 beds that guaranteed great sleeping and situated in the interior of a supremely quite condo complex inhabited by few residents. The patio with a fire pit and fountain was a welcome bonus on cool evenings, as was the hot tub located a few steps from the apt. With the sprawling Huntington beach across the street, we were never at a loss for activity. The throngs of surfers and the boardwalk parade of people and dogs easily made one forget the isolating pandemic. The property owner even left cruiser bikes for guests’ use. The kitchen was relatively well-equipped for cooking on the nights we didn’t pick up food from one of the many excellent restaurants in the neighborhood – all within walking distance. Best of all, the owners were responsive to every concern, sending over their handyman to fix minor problems they had not been able to address because of Covid travel restrictions. We have been renting through VRBO for many years, and these owners were by far the best of the VRBO bunch. Wish the apartment had more natural light (it’s in an interior courtyard, with no views of the outdoors), but that short-coming paled in comparison to the other creature comforts and amenities.
