I truly enjoy living in this apartment community. The property is clean, quiet, and well cared for. Whenever I've needed maintenance, the team has responded quickly and fixed the issue efficiently. thank you Oliver and freddi They are professional, respectful, and always make sure the job is done properly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's reassuring to know that customer service here genuinely cares about residents.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]" and the pool and spa , gym always clean read more

I had a great move-in experience at Surf House Apartments. The process was well organized and stress-free. A special thanks to Rachelle, my leasing consultant, who was incredibly helpful, responsive, and proactive throughout the entire process. She made everything seamless. The community is clean, welcoming, and well maintained. I'm happy I chose Surf House! Guest Parking could be better. I suggest the management to have more visitor spaces. Thanks read more

Overall would not recommend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, Katie and Greg have been incredibly helpful throughout the process.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Their service has been prompt, professional, and greatly appreciated. read more

The current setup does not adequately accommodate dogs of different sizes and temperaments, which leads to potential safety issues and discomfort among pet owners. I believe that implementing better leash policies, designated play zones, or additional pet-friendly spaces could help alleviate some of these concerns. There is an older male resident on the property who continues to harass multiple tenants as well as staff. His behavior is consistently aggressive, confrontational, and directed especially toward women. He frequently yells, attempts to start arguments, and creates an unsafe environment in and around the dog park. On several occasions, he has also struck one of his dogs when they do not respond to him. His conduct is escalating, and it is only a matter of time before someone is seriously harmed. Residents should not have to live in fear or adjust their daily routines because this individual has not been removed from the community. This situation represents a clear safety risk and a growing liability. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Please do not respond with a generic request to "call to discuss." We need meaningful action and a clear plan to protect the residents and staff of Surf House[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Parking still is horrible. Probably worse than before . No parking after 6pm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still. No parking. Literally writing this while I've been circling over an hour looking for a spot. All while I see a random motorcycle switch spots with a vehicle and both have no parking stickers! I guess I'll park in Wyoming and start walking..... read more

I hope you guys can find a solution for the roach problem because it has been really frustrating.

Almost everything so far.. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Staff is great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Maintenance is super friendly and attentive to your needs.. [[HIGHLIGHT]]All is good on my end.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]].. See what summer has to offer.. Thanks for asking.. read more

Absolutely the grossest apartment complex I've ever seen/lived in unfortunately. There is bugs and cockroaches everywhere to the point they were in the fridge and freezer, and the solution was so to spray poison in the fridges and all of the cabinets. The manager of this place even said it's normal that the cockroaches live in the walls. The street is also a quarter mile from a garbage truck depot and constantly smells like trash, plus the community is full of animal feces everywhere that doesn't get picked up. Way over priced for how gross and run down, looks like it was painted over and over a million times, units are very poorly managed. Don't waste your money here, management doesn't help in anyways. read more

If you're thinking about moving here, be prepared to sacrifice your car's paint job. The trees overhanging many of the assigned parking spots are a magnet for birds, and my car is constantly bombarded with droppings. I'm talking daily splatters -- windshield, roof, doors, hood -- nothing is safe. It's disgusting and damaging. Some trees even drop heavy red sap all over cars in certain areas of the complex. The complex has recently been re-landscaped & a lot of trees were removed inside the complex. They should have also removed the ones overhanging the parking. If you're one of the unlucky ones you'll be stuck paying out of pocket for frequent car washes and worrying about long-term damage to your vehicle. I recommend asking what assigned spot is attached to whatever unit you're viewing prior to signing your lease if you don't want to get crapped on...literally and figuratively... read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I can't say enough great things about Helen and Katie at Surf House Apartments.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We've lived here for over a year now, including moving from one apartment to another within the community, and the experience has been nothing but great. Throughout the entire process, Helen and Katie have consistently provided excellent customer service and made every transition seamless. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They are always responsive, professional, and truly take the time to address any concerns.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]On top of that, they are incredibly kind and welcoming--not just to us, but to our dog as well, which really makes Surf House feel like a genuinely pet-friendly community.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Their positive attitudes and dedication make living here a wonderful experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you, Helen and Katie, for everything you do! read more

I moved in early October 2025 [[HIGHLIGHT]]Helen was very informative and helpful she absolutely made me feel welcome and confident that I made the right decision moving into Surf House[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you Helen! read more

I lived here for 10 years. The new management company is very disorganized, be very careful about what you pay them and when. They were supposed to refund my original deposit as I changed units but told me they have no record of it anymore and charged me for "cleaning" when I left and refused to refund me my original deposit. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I can't say enough good things about Mary, our current (temporary) manager. The difference she's made in such a short time is incredible.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]With the previous manager, anytime I brought up an issue, I was met with excuses or the classic "I have to ask corporate," which always felt like a brush-off. And nothing ever really got resolved.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Mary, on the other hand, actually handles things. She listens, takes action, and doesn't shy away from addressing residents who aren't following community policies.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]On top of that, she's genuinely kind, approachable, and easy to talk to. You can tell she cares about making this a better place to live, not just going through the motions.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Even though she's only here temporarily while the regular manager is out on leave, I truly wish she could stay permanently. Having a manager like Mary makes all the difference--it finally feels like someone is looking out for the residents and the community.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The communication from management here is getting really frustrating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I think some members of management forget that people actually live here and have to deal with everything going on. There is no parking, constant construction, and they enter your units an excessive amount of time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Some of the reasons are justified but communication is sloppy with incorrect or missing information.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I've tried to stay clear of bringing any issues to the office because some of the managers aren't pleasant to deal with and are dismissive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I've tried reaching out to their corporate office but haven't heard back either so I'm writing a Yelp review hoping someone gets back to me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Some of the staff is fantastic though Oliver, Freddy, Nora, Andres, & Katie are awesome and do the bulk of the work around here and are the reason for the extra star.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I have lived at Surf House (Previously Citron House) now for over 2 years. Overall, I've loved living here, but wait there is more.. Since the new management has taken over and become "Surf House", they have made it so much better here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]For starters, the staff and management are amazing. Very on top of it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They keep this place spotless. Within months, they began massive upgrades from new windows/door/paint/upgraded pool area etc. Completely transformed this place and it looks amazing. I couldn't be happier! Friends and family that visit always say it's feels like a resort vibe. It's seriously been great living here and seeing how far it's come since I moved in. Big thanks to all the staff. Highly recommend if you're looking for a new place to call home in HB! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Applied for a 1 bedroom which seemed like a mission to begin with, they kept offering the unit I did t want.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The one I wanted, I applied online. Paid the application fees showed all documents required. Yet. It took them weeks to get back to me I didn't qualify. Just because I got a new job and don't have 3 months worth of paystubs yet. While I had my previous paystubs from my previous job. My bank account has enough to qualify, and it wasn't mentioned during the application fee that it has to be the most current job? Very confusing and wasted my credit score and application fees just to get declined after weeks of applying. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Oliver and Helen were super helpful throughout my tour and move in process.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Helen made the application and move in process quick and easy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everyone is so friendly and ready to help with any questions.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thank you to Helen and Oliver for your help![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would recommend speaking with Helen if coming to tour at Surfhouse Apts. read more

Since Surf House took over there have been many improvements with the staff, maintenance, building repairs, and professionalism. I believe Surf House deserves (5) Five Gold Stars. The front office manger Joell, Helen and Andres are amazing and friendly. They take the time to acknowledge your animals as well. My dog drags me to the office for snacks for an excuse to see them. Oliver and Ignacio in maintenance have outstanding work ethic as everything is done correctly the first time and cleaned properly after. They smile every time I see them. Recently we had all new windows and deck doors replaced by R3 Construction Services and the work was completed beautifully and they cleaned up like it was their own house. The dog park is also clean. Now a new addition of a dog washing station. Plus free doggy bags for convenience. I have high expectations but this type of care, professionalism and commitment to the highest level of customer satisfaction has to be acknowledged. They have signs stating live happy, well I have to say I am happy living here. read more

If you want a workout at 8am with no notice move here. With no notice at anytime they'll come and knock on your door and ask you to move all your patio furniture inside your apartment. At least once or twice a month. Absolutely ridiculous way to wake up. Give people some notice. read more

Recently moved into Surf House Apartments and I am extremely pleased with how smooth the process went thanks to Helen in property management and the maintenance team! Helen was communicative from the very beginning and even made sure I settled into the apartment okay after I was approved and had moved in. She answered every question I had and kept me updated on what was needed throughout the entire process. The apartments themselves have been awesome and I look forward to coming home each day. It's been about a month and a half of living here now and so far, I'm very happy with my choice to move here. Thank you Helen in property management as well as the maintenance team for ensuring a smooth move in process! read more

I just recently moved here and find this property to be a an absolute gem!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]A big thank you to Katie for her kindness, professionalism, and patience during the move in process[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The entire leasing office staff are very friendly and knowledgeable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The property is beautifully maintained. There is construction going on as the property converts the landscape to be water wise. Sad to see the grass go, however that's part of California living with water needing to be conserved. And the new landscape is actually very pretty. The maintenance team are the best!!! I had a small repair that needed to be done prior to move in and the communication to set up the repair was excellent. Parking can be a challenge. However, with Southern California being so car prevalent and Orange County such a dense area a solution is hard to come by. Consideration by residents for each other would go a long way in this area. read more

I've been living at surf house for about a year and a half now and I just want to say it's hands down the best place I've lived at so far. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The complex is incredible but even more so the staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ive been in talks with the front office and they are so accommodating with anything that I've needed over the course of the year and a half. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Even running into issues and hearing the words "We will fight for you" is so reassuring.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]A special shout out to Andres and Joell, they both have gone above and beyond to make sure I am comfortable and that everything is alright with me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Outstanding staff members, 10/10.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I've been living in this community for almost a year, and it has been a really great experience. Everything is always clean, there is constantly improvements in the buildings to make the apartments and the buildings look cleaner and nicer. I'd also have pretty great experience whenever I need help for maintenance... as soon as Iopen a maintenance ticket, I get help right away. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the service and the help i had received from the leasing office. They're always willing to help.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fortunately, i was able to renewed my contract for a 2B 2Bd before the holidays with the help of the Surf house team (Joell, Helen and Oliver)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I hope they keep maintaining the great service! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I love living at Surf House apartments! I have been a resident here for the past 3 years and am so happy with all of the updates the new management is working on.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have updated the pool, the parking lot, the paint on the whole complex, as well as fixing the landscaping. Surf house also has a beautiful dog park and recently added a dog washing station near it. The fitness facilities are top tier with a peloton and yoga patio. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The best part is the staff are the friendliest group of people! I love bringing my dog up to the office to visit Helen and Joell.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Been here four years... three different names... all the same problems.... Management sucks. Parking is horrible and their "parking passes" don't get enforced. We still use the parking passes from the previous branding of Citron House and it's been MONTHS. Maintenance and cleaning employees park in the same area as residences creating even more limited space. Reporting homeless or drug addicts sitting in the parking lot gets greeted with "I can not deal with this right now, call the police if you don't feel safe." The lot is "gated" but is always broken and does not get fixed for months so anyone at anytime can come in and out. Overall the management has a careless attitude about any issues that may inconvenience them. Property is not kept up and litter is always scattered with animal feces from all the dogs and wild cats in the complex. If you can afford better do it. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Andres in the leasing office is always so helpful![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]He is always cheerful and friendly and willing to go above and beyond for the residents.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This place is great! Looking through several places and found this gem. Helen from the leasing office was a major factor in choosing this place. She was professional and really took the time to see this is the place for us. Thank you Helen and team for helping me find a home at surf House! read more

I toured with Andres today and it was great! He answered all my questions, made me feel comfortable, was so nice and I already feel so welcomed!!! Thank you so so much Andres! read more

Helen Diaz and Audres from the leasing office are amazing people. They helped me with all my questions and needs from start to finish. They know how to explain and communicate details. They are patient, kind, professional, friendly, and understanding. The community is beautiful and modern. It's a place you will be glad to call your home. 10/10 read more

Since changing from Citron House to Surf House, the maintenance process has drastically improved! I've been here over 7 years and Oliver and Freddy seriously went above and beyond! They were quick to respond to the request and very friendly and professional! Truly grateful for their assistance! read more

Contacted maintenance for the first time since Advanced Management Company began managing this property and we got a response immediately, ON THANKSGIVING! Erick was great, communicating with me via text to ensure the issue wasn't an emergency and following up the next day, even coming by the apartment, to review everything with me. The previous property managers treated maintenance issues like they just needed to check a box, but this group is completely different and I couldn't be happier. read more

I have just moved into this complex, so this review is to express my gratitude toward the leasing office, specifically Brett, for making my transition to a new apartment so smooth. I had actually had a deposit at another place, but decided to check out Surf House, as the other apartments leasing office didn't seem on the ball. So grateful I did! Brett was kind and personable. He was knowledgeable with any questions I had, and most important, I had no issues getting in contact with him! Shout out to Brett, thank you for making my moving process great! read more

Surfhouse is a great place to live! The reason I chose this apartment complex is because of the office management. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Helen was great throughout the entire leasing process! She is responsive, very friendly, professional, and answers any questions I have.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The premises is clean with full time maintenance staff, and safe with a remote operated gate. I would recommend anyone to live here! read more

We been here for 1yr. Its a Beautiful place to live but Management and neighbors are the worst. We have been dealing with our neighbors upstairs for the amount of noise they make at night, , have talk to the property manager and their resolution is for us to move to a different unit. also the maintenance is the worst. We have been dealing with hot water issues for almost two months and have done nothing to fix it. I don't recommend this place. The building is very old. You can hear everything, like everything. read more

Pro: I've been living here about 4 years, living here is great, the complex being close to the beaches, parks, freeways. I have good neighbors, there's plenty of parking, it's gated, nice pool and gym, it's dog friendly. Con: always dealing with the management is a pain. The previous management was unresponsive whenever I called and they would constantly post fliers on the door announcing they would be entering the following few days to do "inspections". Constant repavement to the parking lot too where we can't park our cars inside. It's been a month so far with new management AMC (Surf House) and I've left them numerous emails about questions with no response and I have also spoken to the new lady at the front desk in person a few times and she just says "oh i'll tell the manager", and I've gotten no resolution so far. read more

I am going to piggy back off of Ashley W. Review. I am the neighbor who lived upstairs and expressed concerns over the years, who had to recently move out. These concerns have been expressed over the years and most recently expressed again with new management in December and February. Through the years I was told it wasn't mold by maintenance looking at it with blank stares and just pairing it over. The last time I had maintenance come out they asked me "do you shower with your door open and windows because you need to". Then they just cleaned it up. I have the pictures. Prior to moving out I expressed all my concerns once again to Joell. I expressed that I understood the lease break but the apartment really needed to be looked at due to it being inhabitable at this point. I asked if they would reassess the lease break due to the issues I was having. Mold, termites on roof, tub leak and reseal (another story for another day), and the current issue of roaches coming in the electrical sockets. We could not use the electrical. Was told there nothing they could do and they would need the $4.2k prior to move out or I had to keep paying rent if they could not rent it out. The apartment would never be able to be rented out immediately due to the issues we had been having. They wanted that money and that money would assist in gutting that place to make all those repairs. Fast forward after paying the lease break as they would not hear me out or truly take a look at the issues and me moving out.... The place was gutted and had biohazard signs on the place. My old apartment was blocked off and a complete hazard to anyone. There was a van parked by the walk way for Mold, Lead and Abestoes removal. Even though I had moved out I am so glad I have neighbors you had my back who also have been having the same issues and have all the pictures of what has been happening the minute they got my money and I had to leave. Lastly, while I got my full security deposit back (they really didn't have a choice on this one knowing the issues) they did hold overpayment of rent for 2 days for a while. In the end they still owe me a day of rent but told me sorry we running 30 days a month, while I paid until the 31st. Our lease was done on the 29th. I hope you all take this as a testimony to get out while you can or not move here. I myself will be reporting this company and property to the BBB and Health Department. It's sad that you can live somewhere that truly does not care about your well being and concerns but wants that monthly check. read more

Received a call from Annette at corporate due to previous management company issues that were left unresolved prior to transferring. Annette was very helpful and offered great solutions to the no hot water dilemma. She was very personable and took the time follow up on additional concerns such as the lack of dog toys and equipment at the dog park, as currently it's just rocks and turf. Looking forward to all the changes and very appreciative to have hot water again. read more
