The beach house is located at 16562 South Pacific Avenue in Sunset Beach, which is a small mile-long town that is located between Seal Beach and Huntington Beach.



There are about 1300 year-round residents. Even during summer, the beach is not crowded because public parking is very limited. This is not a problem because the beach house has an attached two-car garage. In addition to gorgeous sunsets, a view of Catalina Island is also include.







The beach house is equipped and decorated with an emphasis on comfort and warmth. The living room furniture faces the fireplace and walnut paneling, while providing an incredible view of the beach and ocean through large picture windows. The separate dining room also affords its own ocean view.


The master bedroom has a queen-size bed. Another bedroom has two twin beds, while the third is equipped with two sets of bunk beds.








A front deck includes patio chairs, tables, an umbrella and a barbecue with charcoal and tools. Just off the deck is a secluded sandy area that is bordered by iceplant and offers privacy.







This 1100 square-foot house is fully equipped with all major appliances, including a washer, dryer and dishwasher. Other amenities include cable 36" TV, a newspaper subscription, all linens, soaps, paper supplies, and normal household items such as a vacuum, brooms, and garden hoses. Guests especially appreciate the personal touches that include M&Ms in the candy jar and a coffeemaker that includes coffee!





Gary and Christine Liggett of Huntington Beach own and operate the beach house as a vacation rental that is available 52 weeks a year. Although summer is the most popular season, other times of the year offer their own special appeal. Many folks enjoy the beach during the off-season when the tranquility, colorful sunsets and the strolls by the water are most satisfying.


A major reason for the satisfaction and success of the business is the personal involvement. "We want to be there during the check-in process to meet our guests and help them feel welcome, comfortable and at home", maintains Chris. "It is satisfying to hear during the checkout that the only complaint is that nobody wants to go home".
