The management is ineffective because the owner doesn't care what goes on. Rents are raised and services are minimal. Neighbors are allowed to make as much noise as they like at any hour. Pets are allowed to roam free and poop everywhere. Despite CC&R's, it seems from the look of things, that management doesn't require homeowners to keep up their homes. The place has become an embarrassment.

While some homes still show their rental history, new homeowners, many in construction, are transforming the neighborhood with impressive renovations. It's exciting to see the pride and craftsmanship they're bringing in. The management company deserves real credit too. They're working steadily to turn this old surfer paradise into a welcoming place for families, and you can see the difference they're making. Some negative reviews come from long-time renters or residents with older, rundown homes who receive violations. The management is actually helping improve the community by enforcing standards. Space rent is higher here, but you're paying for the prime front-row location across from Pacific Coast Highway with direct beach access, unlike properties across the wetlands. This is the kind of place where you can truly relax and enjoy the good life every single day.

I was paying $105.00 to &130.00 as of July 1, 2025. -"For guest parking."! Unless you're an employee living here in the park, you get to use vacant houses for your personal parking and use."Mike" our manager here never returns a call or a message. You can only reach him if you walk into the clubhouse and catch him... and even when you do get a chance to talk to him, all he does is lie and can't remember what he said to you before. The sales people like Sabrina thinks it's OK to take pictures of minors in bathing suits from her personal camera and print them and hang them in public walkways for all to see!!! She's disgusting to say the least! Residential walkways are being barricaded in so homeowners cannot use them walkways as intended, unfortunately, an elderly woman was hit by a car and died earlier last year, while trying to take a walk. I believe if our walkways would have been open for her to use, her death would have been prevented. Our walkways were the only safe space for us residence to use the pool, clubhouse, dog park and gave us access to our amenities in the club house. The lack of care this management team has for the community is a disgrace! Also- " Huntington Beach By The sea " has hired a tow company " D.T.S. Towing " to tow away any car On Our Street as all of our streets are considered fire lanes " both sides . we as homeowners are not allowed to park in front of our houses for any good reason, not to unload groceries or if we have a handicap plaque sign in your car, not if your car is running it can be towed. UPS can be towed, Amazon can be towed, Uber eats can be towed, the park is hired this company to tow every car on all streets, when talking with. D.T.S. Towing they said they were hired by Huntington Beach By The sea management. I understand inflation and we have to pay more every year to live here but, I believe we pay more and more and we're getting less and less as far as professionalism and leadership from your employees ..." DO BETTER HOMETOWN AMERICA " your employees are an absolute embarrassment. We as residential homeowners expect better because we had it before this management crew.! I'm speaking on the behalf of most of all homeowners who pay a ton of money to live here, along with high inflation and feel as if we're being ripped off and robbed... I would not recommend anyone with kids or elders to live here not safe !!!!! I would have gave zero stars if it was a option..

In perusing some of the gushing reviews on Google, I'm surprised no one has mentioned the…read morepersistent problem since late 2019 - skunks. I have lived here since the mid-2000s. It's a mobile home park so I wasn't expecting the Ritz, but things have been downright miserable since skunks moved in, especially since we were all stuck here during the pandemic, getting gas bombed almost every other day, sometimes multiple times per night. Things improved somewhat as people took remedial action around and under their homes, but skunks always find another way in. I have been awake for hours because of another blast - almost every other day for weeks. Management blames the high cost of skunk removal and California law for not being more proactive. They are not entirely wrong about this - human quality of life and health is not as important as urban wildlife which decided to move in later, right? Sleep deprivation is a method of torture. I feel like I'm being punished for something I didn't do. I have towels under inside and outside doors trying to stave off the stench, but it's so close and strong that it seeps in everywhere and of course my home is not hermetically sealed. Since the stink dissipates more quickly outside than inside, after about an hour, I need to open doors and windows and turn on all the fans to blow out the stench. It's the middle of winter. I'm freezing right now. Glancing through the recent glowing reviews, I give side eye to the suspiciously obsequious praise for current management. Some of their "improvements" have resulted in harassment from the park's neighboring tenant who was also affected. Management assured me that certain features altered by the park would be restored. I waited patiently for months with no further communications or updates, only to be told recently that I would have to personally bear the expense of restoring said features, which I will not be able to afford for months, if at all. I pay my rent on time and mind my own business. I had no notable issues with previous management, but I have had the misfortune of having to deal with current management much more in the past year. Their promises of improvement have only resulted in backfiring on me, with insinuations of condemnation for my small, good faith attempts to even slightly improve my situation and assertions of arbitrary and vague "rules" (which are never in my favor, naturally). Also, the manager seems to have favorites who are allowed to selectively harass other residents with seemingly no consequence; the targeted resident is the one accused of wrongdoing when attempting to gather evidence or mount a defense, framed as a "friendly reminder". There are also rumors swirling of attempts to push out long time residents using multiple and dubious "rule violations". I suppose they are seeking residents who enjoy the stench without the high - "It's a feature, not a bug!" - assuming potential residents are even advised. It gets two stars for being relatively clean (with NOTABLE exception) and reasonably safe from outsiders - but inside issues are many and varied. Since I still have to live here, I have left out certain details; however, based on the content of this review alone, it is highly likely I will be doxed and experience retaliation, but I'm too tired to care.

Yes, they give the legally required 90-day notice, and yes, they offer a payment plan but that doesn't make their constant, excessive increases acceptable. It's price gouging, plain and simple. There have been zero meaningful improvements to justify these hikes. The pool sits unused, the park next door would be a nice amenity if residents had access (they don't), and the dumpsters are constantly overflowing. Basic maintenance is ignored, yet the rent keeps climbing. This company is gutting the community for profit. If you're thinking about moving here, do yourself a favor, don't. You'll be stuck in a place where your rent skyrockets while the living conditions stagnate. Star Management cares only about your wallet, not your well-being.
