Description
Make no mistake: More luxe and lavish hotels exist in Orange County, ones with sateen linens and
marble floors. But the Shorebreak wins bonus points for realizing some guests are more likely to need
a place to store a surfboard than a truffle on the pillow. Part of the stylish Joie de Vivre family, this
boutique hotel embraces its location—smack-dab in the heart of downtown Huntington Beach—
and plays to the whole Surf City USA theme in a way that's fun and kitschy, never cheesy. It's a sweet
haven for surfers, with conditions posted on a chalkboard next to the check-in counter, the Riptionary
replacing the Bible in dresser drawers, and board rentals offered at the front desk. For everyone
else, the experience is just as memorable. There are outdoor fire pits at which you can sit and roast
marshmallows, as well as a "pet butler" service for those who've brought their furry friends. You can
also find live music in the lounge on the second Sunday of every month. The ultra-modern rooms
aren't too shabby either, with stunning ocean views and amenities such as super-deep tubs and double
showerheads. The only thing missing is a pool, but just across the street is the best one: the ocean.
