Beach apartment rentals in Huntington Beach

Spacious Coastal Apartment in a Colorful Community
The apartment layout is reasonable, the decoration is comfortable, and it is very convenient to move in and park. The kitchenware is very complete. The apartment is on the second floor and you need to carry your luggage upstairs by yourself. Staying here gives a very homey feeling.

Private Apartment near the Beach with free parking
We had a Wonderful Stay!! Lee was very kind and helpful!! The Airbnb was very nice.

Best Hermosa Beach Location Luxe Studio
Cute little studio apartment with everything you might need in a great location. I would definitely stay here again!

Seaside Beach Villa - Studio Apartment on the sand
What a wonderful stay with a beautiful beach front! Parking wasn’t too bad although we had to walk a bit each night which is due to our fault leaving early morning and coming back at 11-12 at night so of course closer parking is not expected but there is a nice area to ensure we can park temporarily for luggage unloading etc. The shower was absolutely amazing and I always looked forward to taking one! Kim was an amazing host and very responsive! I def recommend and would 100% go back!

3BR 2BA Central A/C and Parking!
Great space close to the beach. Plenty of room- we had 4, could easily accommodate more. Walkable to restaurants and shops. You do have to cross a busy road to get to the beach, but not a huge problem.

Downtown 2BR rental- walking to beach, shops, eats
We only stayed two nights as a quick recovery after Disney, and the place worked great for our family of 4. Lots of great restaurants nearby and the beach was about a 10 minute walk. Easy to find, had every amenity we could have needed, and the parking spot was a plus.

The Tiny Tiki- 2 blocks to the beach
We had a great stay at The Tiny Tiki. Looks like the photos: small and very clean. Cozy for two adults, but room enough to feel comfortable. As mentioned by the host and others, the bathroom is VERY tiny. Not ideal for larger folks, but worked for us. What is ideal is the location. Walking distance to restaurants and the beach. We would stay at The Tiny Tiki again.

Huge Updated Spanish Apt - Steps to Beach & Bay!
Really enjoyed our stay. The remodeling was done well, the furniture was comfortable and loved the little touches with the decor. I now understand why it was so highly rated. Would definitely stay again.

The location of this rental is ideal, a block from the beach. The house is well equipped, as pictured in the listing. Our host Rich met us at the house and was very responsive in communication. He monitored some minor maintenance activity in the upper unit to ensure we weren’t bothered by noise. We enjoyed having access to the 2 cruiser bikes and garage parking for our car. I was a bit put off by the multiple emails from HappiTravels prior to our stay. I understand that Newport Beach has very strict regulations on parking, noise, etc, but I didn’t need to be reminded repeatedly. Overall a good stay.

Sunset Beach Cottage
Nicely laid out space. Plenty of room for 4 people and 2 dogs. All surfaces were clean and easy to clean. So many toys to use for the beach. Bikes, boogie boards, chairs and a wagon. Made it so much easier to pack. Great to have a laundry space. Parking was easy. Entering the place was easy. Ernie was very communicative. Loved the place. Will. Be back.

Luxury near the beach 40 acres nature parks nearby
My family and I had a great stay and enjoyed the amenities Karen’s place had to offer. The place was very clean and well kept. The location was great for what we wanted to do. We enjoyed the quiet relaxation and the wonderful nature preserve for our morning walks as well the facility’s pool and hot tub. Karen and Lauren we're great hosts...very friendly, responsive, and accommodating.

Bellissimo by the Sea: Steps to Beach+Free Parking
Brooke always took care of any needs that I had!
Shiny Gem on Onyx
We had a great stay at this property! It's fully remodeled, very clean and comfortable. Everything was provided, including nice bath towels (mini shampoo/conditioner/lotion, too), soft comfortable linen, fully stocked kitchen, etc. The property is steps away from Marine Avenue, the main street on Balboa Island, with great shops and restaurants. That being said, you are in a more vibrant and happening part of the island, which comes with a little more noise and traffic. We enjoyed being close to everything, walking around, etc. The host is responsive and super easy to work with.

Luxury 2 separated Villa in Huntington Beach
I hosted my babyshower here and I’m so glad I did. It was the perfect place, beautiful property, everyone enjoyed it, would love to stay here again.

Private Pool/HeatedJacuzzi /BBQ Grill/Disney Land
Jin was likely the best Air BnB host I have ever had the pleasure of staying with. Truly excellent communication, so welcoming, helpful, and kind. His home was exactly as described. Excellent location, comfortable beds, beautiful pool, and a nice hot jacuzzi. Such a great experience.

Ocean View, Awesome Deck, Modern New Furnishings
Very nice place. It was clean and comfortable In a great location within walking distance to the beach and great shopping. Quiet and friendly neighbors.

Keeping It Beachy
AMAZING! AMAZING! Did I mention it was amazing? I just can’t say enough about my visit. I have had a slew of not so good Air BNB’s as of late. Ones that didn’t match descriptions, no basics like coffee, laundry but being your own tide pods, and like a 5 page checkout….NOT here…it was perfect. Coffee, creamer, great bed, beautiful bathroom and that was the fanciest potty I have ever used….thank you Tori! I am super bummed my work won’t be bringing me back but if I come to visit on my own you’ll be hearing from me again. Thank you so much for renewing my faith in good air bnb’s!

3 Bedroom/2 Bathroom
The House was beautiful and had everything we needed. Definitely will use again.

SIZZLING 2 bed 1 bath single family dwelling
Thank you Omar for letting us stay at your place. We had a good time. He let us check in early if needed and had the place clean for us at arrival. The home felt homey and was grateful for various mirrors in rooms to get ready for our concert. Would come to back again for a soccer game or concert at SoFi.

C-discounted 3 bedroom (4 beds) 2 bathroom (7123)
Loved staying here in Downey , mark was very respectful and very easy to get in contact with. Definitely would stay again !

4BD2BTFrontHouseLittleSaigon BeachesDisneyQuiet
Improvements made to home we stayed at before. Ranch house had everything we needed plus air fryer, rice cooker, electric tea kettle in the kitchen. Roomy living room. 4 good size bedrooms.

Little Balboa Island Duplex Upstairs
The location is great. It is a few minutes to Marine Ave with many shops and restaurants. It is about a 15 minute walk to the ferry. The furnishings are basic but, the accommodations are clean and spacious. Having a parking spot in the carport is very convenient. The host is responsive.

Quiet 3BR Whole House Rowland Heights(Disney 18mi)
Beautiful spot will book again! Thanks!

17th St - Oceanfront Back Home w/ View of the Sea
This was our second stay! Loved it here once again. The place is detached from the neighbours which is a big draw plus it’s in a great walking zone.

Your guide to Huntington Beach
Introduction
Huntington Beach has gone by a few names over the years, including Shell Beach, Pacific City, and even the nickname Gospel Swamp for a period in the 1900s when it was home to rollicking tent revivals. But the name that stuck was Surf City USA. (And that’s official — the Huntington Beach visitors bureau owns the trademark.) Home to some of the best surf breaks in California, Huntington Beach’s reputation was cemented in 1925 when a Hawaiian surf legend first dipped his board in the waters there. Today Huntington Beach is home to the US Open of Surfing, the largest surfing competition in the world, and the International Surfing Museum. Resorts and upscale dining have sprung up here, but Surf City USA remains unpretentious and is still best enjoyed sans shoes.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Huntington Beach
Huntington Beach enjoys warm days in the 60s and 70s Fahrenheit year-round, which means there’s hardly a bad time to stay in one of the area’s vacation rentals. November through February can bring cooler temperatures in the 50s, and July and August can occasionally spike into the 90s, but generally you will be greeted by weather befitting the city’s beachy reputation. Pack layers anyway, as nights can be cooler, and you may want a cozy wrap for those evening bonfires.
Top things to do in Huntington Beach
Huntington City Beach
The city’s five beaches spread along 10 miles of uninterrupted Pacific coast shoreline. At Huntington City Beach — where it's not uncommon to see professional surfers showing off their chops in the waves — there’s something for everybody. The beach is loaded with such amenities as public volleyball courts, outdoor showers, and restrooms, making it easy to camp out all day. You can break up an afternoon of lounging and swimming with a walk along the historic 1,850-foot-long pier (which boasts a combo burger joint and tiki bar at its tip). In the evening, cozy up around one of the first-come-first-serve bonfire pits.
Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve
Over 200 species of bird call this 1,300-acre coastal estuary home, including peregrine falcons, burrowing owls, and white-faced ibis, wading birds with a dramatic, sword-like beak perfect for probing salty marshlands for prey. Even American bald eagles put in guest appearances here. There are four miles of hiking trails in the park, punctuated by scenic outlooks. A small interpretive center hosts exhibits on the ecology of the park.
International Surfing Museum
Run by an enthusiastic volunteer team, this museum chronicling surf culture has a funky, homegrown feel. The museum’s holdings include a surfboard that belonged to a famous Hawaiian surfer, the world’s longest surfboard (according to the Guinness World Records), and a surf-rock legend’s guitar — which was stolen and then returned in 1989. The museum also hosts classic surf movie nights.
