Sharpedan

We are a recently retired couple – married 43 years and spend a good deal of time travelling frequently with my brother and his wife and on many occasions, have rented homes from 3 to 30 days from VRBO, and Air B&B internationally. We are interested in longer stays of 6 to 12 weeks. We want to become immersed in the culture of smaller communities away from the tourist areas so that we get a better feel for customs, activities and interests of the local people.

Our house is the other extreme. We are at the epicenter of the southern California lifestyle. Huntington Beach hosts Pro Surfing championships, Pro Beach Volleyball, X-Games and many other beach events.
