Skaii Homes

My wife and I needed a place to stay with our new born son where we could relax and have family come stay with us comfortably. This house was perfectly set up for hosting our friends and family to spend quality time together by enjoying the spacious house layout, beautiful back yard and being located close to everything you need (beach, restaurants, stores, etc.).

I was in OC for my wedding, had family over from India, some friends flew in too, so almost like a destination wedding for me. Rented the house to stay with my family and had a couple of events here too. Location was very convenient as my wedding was in Santa Ana. House has a great setup, backyard gives a zen feeling. One star less because of some AC issues when we checked in but Mimi took care of it along with compensating us for the inconvenience. So overall a great experience.

We stayed at the Fountain Valley property over the labor day weekend. The property is very well managed & is convenient to Huntington & Newport beaches (Laguna is only 30 mins away!). The host was very accommodating & made sure our stay was comfortable at the property.

We live in Orange County, but wanted to rent a house for our wedding weekend. We wanted a nice place to take pictures and have a place for our family to stay together since they’re from out of town…

Mimi called us a few days before our stay and told us that she was giving us a free upgrade to a bigger house in Westminster since the house we wanted in Fountain Valley needed maintenance and was no longer available. We were bummed since the house in Fountain Valley was the perfect location for us and it looked really nice in pictures. We almost didn’t take the upgrade and even looked into renting hotel suites instead.
We fell in love with the house at first sight. Everything about the house was GORGEOUS!!! We would definitely rent this house from Skaii Homes again!!!

If you’re looking for a beach house rental, Skaii Homes is the place to go. I’ve rented 2 beach houses from them and both times were an A+ experience. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful.
First time I rented was in 2012 where we stayed at the W Style Beach House in Huntington Beach for my boyfriend’s birthday bash. It was prime location and right next to the beach/​main street. Sleeps around 6 – 8 people so it’s definitely great for large groups. There is just so much to do from talking a stroll to the beach to bar hopping at the local bars. Another plus was the Starbucks just literally down the street!
Second time around I rented the Royal Beach House, which was in September 2014 for my boyfriend’s birthday again. It was an amazing 3-​story house with tons of space. This time around it was a bit further from main street, but we were willing to sacrifice that for a larger place. We were blown away yet again the second time around.
Will definitely be using Skaii Home’s service as a yearly tradition. Be sure to check them out for your next beach house rental! You won’t be disappointed.

P.I.M.P. is all i have to say. I got to experience the W style house for a few days and it has to be the perfect location! It’s a barely a block away from Main Street which is very close, yet at the same time it doesn’t get rowdy. So you don’t have to deal with any douchy rowdy people that don’t understand people do live around there.
Most of the rooms are nice and cosy, however my favorite room has to be the master bedroom with the awesome bath room. The rain shower which is super awesome after a nice long day at the beach. Inside the house is great even when it’s a good 90 degrees outside you only have to open the windows to keep the house cool and breezy.
I love getting up in the morning here because they have great breakfast places like banzai bowl for a good acai bowl (must try the Maui sunrise bowl) before a nice glassy surf session and then hitting up sugar shack (I recommend the Main street breakfast burrito with a side of their heavenly golden hash brown has to he one of the best breakfast burrito I’ve had in California). Then walk 2 mins back to the house and chill with a fulfilling food coma for a few hours. I did this for the whole stay. I couldn’t image a better life.
I take a few days off every year to rent a place in Huntington or Newport Beach every year for a mini vacation from the sgv area and this has to be my favorite place so far. Highly recommended and Mimi and Vu we’re super helpful and responsive they even had bikes to rent for a better price than the bike store nearby.

Wonderful spot to explore Huntington Beach. House is beautiful with lots of room. Beautiful location on a corner, a short walk from the ocean.

I have seen a couple negative reviews on here (I didn’t actually see them until after we rented the house). The house, primarily the location and interior, are fantastic. We had a great time — even the neighbors that regularly walked by our patio were great and friendly. We stayed here during the US Open and we had everything we needed. Skaii homes was great in making sure that we were prepared before we got there, the check in was fast and a breeze (they even left us a gift basket), and they made sure that we were comfortable and happy. Overall, a great experience. We are already talking about coming back next year. The negative experiences that have been posted on here should not be a reflection of the management or the house. A+.

I decided to update the review due to our receipt of payment yesterday… We appreciate the business and are grateful for those who pay in a timely manner or as agreed. We did receive our final payment and hope to continue a working relationship with Skaii Homes.

We stayed at the Royal Beach House (which is an apt description), and it was just extraordinary. We had a large party (11 guys) and the house was spacious enough that it could accommodate everyone comfortably. The locale was perfect, just a couple of blocks from the beach and a short walk way from the Main street area. Mimi was a breeze to work with and made the arrangements incredibly easy. Thanks for an awesome weekend!

Living in NY, wanted to plan a special bachelorette weekend for my sister back in CA. Skaii Homes was professional, accomodating and provided the perfect location for a low key and relaxing getaway. We stayed at the 2^nd Street /​Olive house — it comfortably accomodated a few close girlfriends and was walking distance to Main Street and the beach. And, it was the US Open weekend — doesn’t get any better than that! Highly recommend!

I’ve been meaning to publicly warn people about this company for months! I Googled them, this Unilocal profile showed up, and it’s easy to tell from all the reviews happening within a couple days of each other that they’ve asked friends to write reviews! Don’t be fooled! These scam artists tried to rob us blind! They charged our CC for over $ 6,000 claiming golf clubs were stolen, TV’s were taken and that we had more than the max occupancy staying at the house — all complete LIES! We were able to have the bank reverse charges on all but $ 1,500 of those charges but were out that money because we’d signed a contract pre-​authorizing that amount as a deposit. When our lawyer sent a letter to Mimi, she never responded — if we had the time or gumption to take these people to court we would and we’d win. STEER CLEAR!

review about house on 2^nd /​olive street, huntington beach — the «W» style home.
location: close walk to main street, huntington beach, with numerous great restaurants, bars and lots of shopping, in addition to being just steps to the sand.
property: beautiful two story beach house + my favorite is the rooftop deck where you can sun bathe or just enjoy the view. bbq in the courtyard area. jacuzzi is also available. oh i think they might have beach cruisers and towels available too.
pretty much amazing… the hyatt needs to step aside.

Our family goes to Huntington Beach every summer. We always stay at one of the Skaii Homes. They are so trustworthy, accommodating, friendly and easy to rent from we wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else. We haven’t had such great luck with other we rented from in the past. Their homes are in great locations and close to everything. See ya this summer! Highly recommend!

The Huntington home is amazing. A friend had a birthday party here and we just had a blast. The location is great, super close to the beach, plentiful parking (metered), the patio is huge and great for tanning, the kitchen is beautiful, the rooms are spacious, and you just feel at home right away. Need I say more? The owners are super friendly and very accommodating so I’d’ highly recommend.
