We go to California every summer and usually stay in Huntington Beach at the Hyatt or Hilton. However, from now on we will stay here instead. It was great having a condo with full kitchen and two bedrooms and my children LOVED the amenities. There is a children's pool with a water play area, playfround, ping pong, tetherball, basketball, etc. Also, instead of being forced to pay $40/night to park your car, there is free parking near your unit. We found it easiest to go to Corona del Mar for the beach which was just 5 minutes away, and had ample parking, a bathroom, food, and wasn't overly crowded.
