The location was great for us as our daughter and her family are living just around the corner for the summer. The grandkids could walk from one place to the other. We used only two of the three bedrooms so we were a bit tight (our choice). The local beach was having an algae bloom so we went to Seal Beach and Huntington Beach, which are not far and very nice. We really appreciated the beach chairs, umbrella, sand toys and beach towels. The drive to Disneyland was only 30 minutes. The local Von's grocery has limited supplies, but there's a Ralph's not far away.
