Surf Shikoku Huntington Beach, California

Property Description

Make yourself at home in one of the USA's most fascinating and historic neighbourhoods. Wintersburg was designated a National Treasure in 2015 and represents over a century of Japanese immigration to SoCal.

Step inside, and you'll discover that your hosts have taken the ethos of surfside simplicity and relaxed vibes to create a single-storey home that's a pleasure to spend time in. Even though the rooms are separated, there's a nice flow between the spaces, and the lack of doors between the communal rooms means that you can still hold a conversation.

The decor is stylish and straightforward, which is in keeping with the barefoot charms of Huntington Beach, with some lush greenery in the living rooms, and some carefully chosen art hanging on the walls of the bedrooms. A couple of our favourite features include a projector in the main bedroom, for the ultimate movie nights, plus the pool table in the front room. There's nothing like a bit of friendly competition to liven up an evening.

A ten-minute drive away, Huntington Beach offers five beaches stretching across 10 miles of uninterrupted coastline, a plethora of oceanfront eateries and twelve craft breweries/distilleries/tasting rooms – the perfect way to add to that sun-kissed glow after a day in the surf.
