Ayres Hotel Huntington Beach/Fountain Valley 3 stars

Fountain Valley - 4.5 miles from beach

Offering a year round outdoor pool and a restaurant, Ayres Hotel Fountain Valley is located 9.6 km from Huntington Beach. Free WiFi access is available in all suites. Complimentary parking is provided. Good restaurant (with the exception of breakfast; it was fine but nothing special with no healthy options). Overall this is a good hotel but a bit soulless - nice, clean, quiet but a hotel like many many others. I guess perfect for business trips but if you're looking for something memorable like for your vacation find something else.

Beach Shack

Huntington Beach - 300 yards from beach

Set in Huntington Beach and only less than 1 km from Sunset County Beach, Beach Shack offers accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. This apartment also features a private pool. The property is non-smoking and is situated 1.1 km from Bolsa Chica State Beach. One of the best getaways I have ever had. I booked the beach shack for our wedding anniversary and it was just perfect. It's walking distance to the beach and close to the most delicious restaurants. It had all the amenities we needed. We loved the kitchen, which had a beautiful view of the ocean, especially during sunset. The little hideaway nook upstairs was so cute, I could see bringing our kids here. Check in was super easy, and Saundra was always available to answer my questions. Can't wait to come back!!
