Sunset Sand Castle Oceanfront Home with Panoramic Views!

*Under new management as of April 2023! Premier Host, Tyler, has been managing vacation rentals in this beach community for several years (and grew up in the neighborhood) and is committed to exceptional service and ensuring our guests have a great experience!*

Sunset Sand Castle is a breath of fresh air, located directly on the sands of Sunset Beach with stunning ocean views and easy beach access right out the back door. The backyard is perfect for sunny days with plenty of patio furniture and a gas grill, while the inside has a comfortable atmosphere with all the modern conveniences you could hope for.

Truly the ideal beach house getaway, surfboards and boogie boards are provided for your enjoyment, plus a small fleet of bikes to explore the area!

The Sand Castle is an excellent fit for family vacations, with easy beach access and a bunk room for the kids, but there's something special for parents too!

The master bedroom boasts picture windows that run the length of the room and span nearly the entire "wall," leaving nothing between you and the spectacular sunsets that give the community its name. A recently added couple's balcony makes it possible to really take in the full experience (glass of wine in hand, might we recommend).

As the day fades away, enjoy quiet nights winding down as a parade of lights passes by from ships heading into nearby Long Beach Harbor. This makes for such a peaceful setting that guests have a hard time deciding which vista they enjoyed more!

Things to know:
Parking - one car on the street behind garage (with additional street parking nearby)
Full kitchen (with dishwasher)
High-speed WiFi
Inline gas BBQ outside
New Washer and Dryer onsite
Beach towels, boogie boards, surf boards, chairs, and bikes provided
Outdoor shower for post-beach rinse off

Guests have full access to the house including use of the garage

Premier Host, Tyler, is available 24/7 during your stay, feel free to reach out with any questions!

The home, called Sunset Sand Castle, sits directly on a long stretch of sandy beach perfect for sunbathing, water sports, and sunset strolls. There is a wide selection of restaurants within biking distance and a long ocean promenade for bike rides.

Depending on the distance, car or bike are the best forms of transportation. For those who will not be driving/renting a vehicle, Uber and other rideshare platforms pair well with our bikes for the shorter rides!

Trash pick up is every Friday and Monday morning - simply pull the filled cans up to the white line (only a few feet away) the night before to ensure timely pickup

The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Awesome beach getaway

Our stay here was awesome! The house is as described, beautiful backyard beach access, couch and beds were comfortable, large enough living room and kitchen to accommodate family of 6. Beach equipment was more than enough and still in good shape! We did have a second car and parking was easy to manage. The winter sand berm was still up but did not block view from 2nd floor master bedroom, and was easy enough to walk over for my 70 yr old mother and the kids. We had some minor questions on check-in that were promptly answered. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect location!

Great location right on the beach. The home has a great layout for friends or family with tons of extras included - bikes, beach toys, games, surf gear, beach chairs, towels! The master suite has incredible views, we left the balcony door open & fell asleep to the sound of the waves crashing. This is our 2nd stay w friends from high school & we're already talking about our next trip.

Property #1471375, reservation HA-15L1HH, Huntington Beach, CA

We are unhappy with the rental for several major reasons: 1) There were homeless people camping across the street from the property during our stay. Despite this obvious risk, security of the property was questionable because the lock on one of the sliding patio doors would not lock properly. Our next door neighbors mentioned that someone outside their party used their patio hot tub during the early hours of one morning. This shows how easy it could have been for us to have had a break-in due to the faulty lock. 2) When we moved in on Friday night, one of the king beds was broken and not useable. We repaired it ourselves after talking to maintenance person who could not come out until Monday. 3) The flooring in the kitchen was uneven in front of the dishwasher/sink area and was a trip hazard which we tripped over. The deck flooring in two locations was badly buckled. Some of the deck boards were bolted down with the bolt tops sticking up at last a half inch causing possible injury to bare feet. We covered up the bolts with the outdoor floor mats. We kept tripping on the uneven deck flooring at the end of the outdoor hallway leading to the back of the property, 4) The hot water fixture in the downstairs bathroom sink had almost no running water. Consequently we could not wash our hands with warm water in the downstairs bathroom. 5) The downstairs bathroom window has a broken latch, again a security concern. 6) Although recent upgrades have been made to kitchen appliances, the property overall was substandard and shabby. There was so much old dirty furniture in the family room that movement was greatly constrained for our party of eight which included two small children. I would not rent this property again.

House was perfect for myself and family. The location was excellent. Furniture didn't bother us, we simply moved some into the garage and created more space. Bikes are useless, so if you want to enjoy a nice bike ride during your stay, rent or bring your own. Overall really enjoyed our time in Sunset Beach.

Will be back!

Had an amazing time. The house is wonderfully located and plenty of room to enjoy this beach. Only thing missing that could be a make or break with us was a fireplace/ring in the back. Our neighbors had one and we were quite jealous! But other than that one missing item, the place was great! Had a wonderful time.

Do not stay here. VRBO should take down until improved. READ THIS before you rent!

This is our only time EVER giving a negative review for a VRBO property. We have stayed in many VRBO homes and have had overall very good experiences. We know that sometimes with a rental home some things might go wrong. No big deal. This situation was very different. After we got home, they sent us a notice that they wanted additional money for cleaning. Mind you, the cleaning fee was already nuts considering this is a small house. They DID NOT provide us with ANY checkout instructions, we ALWAYS leave a home compliant. We DID NOT abuse this home. Our home is nearly triple the size, in a major metropolitan area and it is half the cost charged twice a month to clean our house, our housekeeper has been with us for 14 years. I don't think she would stick with us if we were wrecking our house like a bunch of 80's rock stars. Anything these property owners asked of us we did. We had been willing to just grin and bear the experience and not review until the extra charge was sent. Here's what you should know: -no check in information, even day of, had to message and call multiple times to get access to house -house 85 degrees inside when we entered, AC only helped in upstairs hall, bedroom ceiling fans inoperable. -dishwasher soap tray does not close, had to wash all dishes by hand, very inconvenient with 6 people -washer does not work, also inconvenient with 6 people. (we know they knew about this and did not tell us) -requested wifi info multiple times, did not receive until 4th day of stay -no hot water in downstair shower, this is the best shower in the house and was unusable. Master bath shower has painful water pressure and main bath shower shoots right out the door when you get in, soaking the whole bathroom -torn up furniture cushions in home and on patio furniture -took time out of our vacation to be present for a microwave repair person to come and work on behalf of owner (repair person spoke with owner while there, we overheard them discuss broken washer) -"fleet of bikes" are corroded, falling apart and mostly unusable -every evening many homeless people set up camp in park next to front of house right outside downstairs bedroom. They did not seem dangerous. Police come every morning around 6-7 AM to clear them out We have escalated rejecting their request for more cleaning funds and have asked for funds back. This seems more than reasonable in my opinion. I have given them days to respond and have heard nothing.

House with a view but low on supplies and maintance

It was a great location, right on the beach with beautiful views. The home had lots of sand chairs, some that were old and dirty. The outdoor couch was very dirty, we didn't sit on it. The inside was alot smaller then the pictures. The fireplace and microwave didn't work, however there was a small counter microwave that worked. We called and they didn't respond for 4 days, on which they sent a repair man without notice or any warning. There was one small shampoo & conditioner, and toilet paper in each bathroom, enough for one person and we had 7 people for 5 days, one roll of paper towels so we had to go to the store to get supplies. We also had to fold someone elses towels that were left in the dryer in order to dry clothes. There was also a big buckle in the kitchen flooring that was a tripping hazard. I normally don't complain about little things but there was a lot for the price we paid. All in all we still had a great time and even wanted to stay another night. We most likely would not rent this home again.

Great Location- Smaller Than Expected

This house is in a great location with direct access to a gorgeous beach. Great views!! However, the home was significantly smaller than we expected, smaller than the pictures made it look, and significantly smaller than the other three houses we rented for our coworking trip. The bathrooms are also super tiny and one is located right off the kitchen. As other reviews mentioned, there is so much furniture that its hard to move around. We weren't there much so it worked for what we needed but if we were spending much time there, it would have felt disappointing. Also, the communication with the owners was hit or miss.

Lasting memories were made, but there were some issues….

The good: we had an AMAZING time, and I wouldn’t trade this time I was able to get with my family for the world. Sunset beach is a special place in our hearts, I hadn’t been there in years and I was crying when we left because I just wasn’t quite ready to leave yet. The bad: the outlets in the kitchen don’t work. I alerted the property manager and they said they would get an electrician out, but that never happened. We were there several days so there was plenty of opportunity, nobody ever showed up. The grill outside is useless, well beyond repair, needs to be tossed. There’s a TON of furniture, a blessing and a curse, depending on how many people you have. We brought our own nespresso so only having one outlet in the kitchen to work off was annoying, and lack of response super frustrating. The view from the master is everything it claims to be, but the price tag with issues that could be rectified easily…. :/ we will be looking for another place next spring break.

Perfect for family getaway

Anything padded (bar stools, seat cushions) could use a deep clean. As seen in previous reviews we had issues with the microwave, tv in upstairs main bedroom and the dryer. We couldn’t wash any clothes while there which was a bummer for a larger family. The access to the beach was perfect and we all enjoyed that. We used Instacart and had groceries delivered and made several meals. This rental definitely needs a new set of pots and pans. The master bath has a lot of water pressure and hurt a little to shower. All and all we had a great time and would stay there again.

I usually am not a 'reviewer'

I will start out with the good things: The location is great, you are right on the beach and there are many things surrounding the area to do. The view is gorgeous as shown on the website. The master is great...but so much furniture you can hardly move around other than the sleeping area! The reason for my low review (which I hate to do) is listed below: *The property was dirty-the kitchen cabinets, dishes and cups. The coffee cups were black inside like old coffee was left there and it was on multiple mugs *There is so much furniture in that house you can hardly move around, we had to move so much into the garage and move it back upon departure *.The microwave did not work, The dryer did not work and the bunk beds are so warbley out of the 4 kids (this room was a main reason I rented the house) 1 slept in that room because they did not feel safe sleeping on top bunks...squeeking and moving around so much *I contacted management to fix micro, beds and washer and did not get a repair person *There was a rodent running around the first night, I called and pest control came to set traps (OMG Not FUN) *Of the "fleet" of bikes" that are advertised about 5 of the 13 are operational *The main floor bathroom did not have hot water, they sent a plumber who stated it worked and to just leave it running until the desired temp...I left it on 5 minutes still didn't heat and then just turned it off....so all 7 people shared 2 bathrooms to shower... *Day 3 there was a leak in the garage from the pluming in the ceiling prob from the OLD bathrooms... *They did send their housekeeper to "reclean" (vacuum) and take the wet towels to launder them and return them. She was lovely! I would never return to that house for a relaxing vacation....Again, I am not one to leave a review, but this was just unacceptable... They were apologetic and offered me $750 refund 🤷‍♀️

Great location! Property and house were very nice. We were able to enjoy the beach and sunshine in private outdoor space. The house itself is nicely furnished and has lots of character. The only complaints I had was with the pots and pans and outdoor grill. The cookware was dirty and in need of replacing. The outdoor grill not only was missing Propane it was completely was unusable/unsafe. I would definitely stay here again but would like to see a working grill and some updated cookware.

Absolute disaster, look elsewhere

I needed to be in the are for work. Found this listing and was impressed with their claim to highly disinfect the house between stays for covid. I didn't get check in instructions from the property manager until 3:30 and had left several messages throughout the day as we were traveling from a couple hours away. To our horror we walked into a house that had not been cleaned since the last visit which appeared to be a couple weeks prior due to the moldy cups up coffee throughout the house, bags on rotting trash in the kitchen, dirty beds bathrooms etc etc. Food left on counters with bugs eating them. Absolute horrendous situation. The property manager said he would send a cleaning crew and that it would be a few hours. It was dinnertime at this point. We got in the car and drove home. the manager didn't offer anything other than a refund. Don't take the risk on this property.

We had a great time over Memorial Weekend and enjoyed our stay. However there are things we need to point out: The garage is NOT usable for a car, so there is only 1 parking space, most of the outlets in the kitchen don't work, no dishwasher soap even though we were supposed to wash dishes, TV upstairs did not work at all and the downstairs TV was only Netflix. We were also disappointed that communication with the manager was not good, and we would have preferred to know ahead of time that we wouldn't hear about check-in until the last minute.
