Huntington Beach Airbnb – 15 gorgeous condos and cottages to rent
In this post on Huntington Beach Airbnb, I will share the most beautiful homes, apartments, and villas that I have especially selected using my best judgment. But also the best reviews from the previous guests.
Huntington Beach is a charming surfing beach town in Orange County California. If you love the surf culture, laid-back vibes, and lots of sand you must include it in your California Itinerary. And, no, you don’t necessarily be a surfer to enjoy this area.
In fact, the pretty town of Huntington Beach is lined with an endless stretch of golden sand beach, named after the very same town and loved also by beach lovers, and sport-enthusiast.
One of the most popular beaches in Orange County, and probably of all California, Huntington Beach, also boasts one of the longest piers on the West Coast and boasts miles of trails perfect for biking, dog walking, or skating.

You can spend the entire week here in one of the cute Huntington Beach Airbnb and explore the surroundings or just relax while watching pro surfers ride those spectacular waves.
So without further delay, here below find my favorite Huntington beach Airbnb.

Captain Jack’s Surf Shack
6 guests · 2 bedrooms · 5 beds · 1 bath ⭐ 4.88
So much beauty for a shack! Seriously. When I read “shack” I couldn’t believe it was among the Airbnb Plus. Then I saw the pictures and I thought: “I want to live in this “Shack” like forever!”
Don’t let the distance from the beach discourage you. It’s only 2 miles and I am sure you will have rented a car. Or maybe you can rent a bike to move around the neighborhood and live your vacay like a local! But this place is a real gem that you cannot miss.
The beachy vibes from the laidback chic decor perfectly match the luxurious amenities to make you feel at home. The natural wood floors, and minimal furniture, create a nice balance with the colorful artwork, inspired by the local coastline. It’s like having the ocean on your walls.

I have to be honest, I didn’t choose this apartment for the decor and its overall esthetic. It’s not exactly my style. However, I mean, look at the location. You basically step right on the beach from your patio and you have the sunset in your living room.
And that totally makes up for the less appealing decor. Am I right?
