Surfside Classic Californian Cottage Steps To A Guard Gated Private Beach

Classic California Beach Cottage in gate guarded Surfside Colony 30 steps to the sand and fully renovated with modern amenities; such as central air conditioning and smart home features such as key less entry and fiber optic internet. Let the waves lull you to sleep. This home is a classic California bungalow built in 1929 as part of the Surfside Colonies resort community.

Surfside Colony is a gated community located on a unique piece of land 0.7 miles long nestled along the beautiful Pacific Ocean in Orange County, California. The Colony is located southeast of Seal Beach and northwest of Sunset Beach and Huntington Beach. Entry into the community is restricted to residents and their guests and enforced by a 24 hour manned gate house.

Surfside is a residential area with approximately 260 single-family homes. The homes are arranged in three rows, A, B, and C, and include an eclectic range of styles from older single-story cottages to newer multi-story architectural wonders. No home in the colony is more than 75 feet from the beach.

The colony has a casual beach culture that values diversity and community. Favorite beach activities include surfing, kite surfing, fishing, and just sitting and enjoying the sun and sea air.

Our home has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Enter the Dutch doors into the living room with comfortable matching mid century accent chairs and down filled couch. Enjoy your favorite game or movie on a 65 inch Sony flat screen. Additional TVs are located in each bedroom and the outside patio. The tvs are ROKU compatible and connect to your “Smart” phone or laptop. Adjacent to this in an open floor plan is a gourmet kitchen with DeLonghi automatic expresso/coffee maker, automatic dishwasher, kitchen appliances and kitchen ware. Designer details abound with attention to comfort to sooth your mind and body. Across from the kitchen is a dining table which comfortably seats six people.

Also located on the first floor is a full sized bathroom and an office with laptop docking station, full size monitor and printer. Located in this office is a twin trundle daybed which sleeps 2 comfortably.

Upstairs is another bathroom and two additional sleeping rooms, the master bedroom with a king sized Italian leather bed and a twin bunk room.

At the back of the house is an enclosed outdoor patio with gas grill, gas fireplace, outdoor TV, dining table and lounging sofa which is a perfect retreat to unwind after a long day. Parking available in a detached garage for a medium sized car. Additional parking behind house can accommodate a truck or an SUV.

Beach towels, beach chairs, beach umbrella and a picnic basket are provided, you may elect to dine on the sand at sunset. The side patio is accessible from the beach and includes outside shower and a secure area for beach toys or bikes. There is a water faucet/hose available in the front and back of the house to wash off sand and beach items.

Security cameras located outside at the back of the house, front of the house, back of the garage and side yard; and home security monitored by Brinks security system.

Our hope is that you enjoy your stay as much as we do.

Great hosts! Cozy home! Beautiful location!
Our family stayed for the month of December. Hosts provided great communication pre-stay and during stay. They even helped us during our move in process to ensure we were comfortable with the setup since we have two children under the age of 2. The home was great for our needs. The outdoor patio in backyard was extra special with fireplace and massive tv. Master bedroom bed is super comfy. The kids room is small but perfect for our needs. The downstairs office/extra room worked great for us to work and overflow of storage for us. Wifi worked great. Every tv was synced on Roku and easy to use. The home is located on the 2nd row of Surfside and it only took about 30 steps before you could sink your toes in the sand. Private beach experience was amazing. We used the beach playground almost daily. The gated community felt extra safe. Wish we could have experienced more of the local businesses but we spent most of our time lodged within the private community.

Well appointed beachside cottage
This home is ideal for a family wanting a beach retreat in a very desirable location in Southern California. The best appointed vacation home I have stayed in on the VRBO website. My guests loved the outside area that is really another room in the home.

About the host

Hosted by Jerrelyn

Host profile image
We are a family of three with a hypoallergenic golden doodle who love to travel and appreciate regional cuisine. My husband and I both work in healthcare and have lived in Southern California and Hawaii. We purchased this home as a retreat and are happy to share all that it has to offer with our guests.

Why they chose this property

Having grown up in and around beach communities, the ocean has always been a place for us to recharge and renew. The meditative attributes of lapping waves along the shore and birds in flight along the horizon allow us to center and be mindful of our lives. It's a haven like no other.

What makes this property unique

This is one of the last of the truly private beach side getaways in Southern California secluded from the boardwalk and traffic congestion. A peak outside the front bay windows or dutch doors allows you to quickly survey the sand and surf. After a full day of playing on the beach, rinse off with the outdoor shower and relax in the covered patio. Sit on the bench in front of the house to enjoy your morning coffee or to relax after dinner.
