About this property

Big Sunny Getaway | Walkable to Convention & Beach

Come live the sunny SoCal life in my sunny beach getaway.
Enjoy the best of both worlds as we re just two blocks from the beach and two blocks from downtown. It s a quick Lyft to the Convention Center, or walk to bars, restaurants.
Each morning, make yourself at home to my tea and coffee bar. Choose from fair trade arabica means for a delicious french press, or a wide variety of teas.
The front bedroom features a heavenly queen size mattress on a platform bed. Think of this as your beach getaway with a vintage skyline. Flowing linens cover the windows giving a beachy feel to the room.
The second bedroom is a dreamland with a queen bed tucked on the quiet end of the house. Think of this cozy room as a beach hideaway.
In the evening (after your walk on the beach), enjoy a large flat screen tv equipped with Hulu and Netflix.
I have recently added some extra special touches!
Newly added:
-Full-service bathroom supplies: In addition to fresh towels, you now have a selection of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and a blow dryer. You ll pretty much just needs clothes!
-Beach supplies: Grab a chair and a frisbee and hit the sand. The beach is just two blocks away so who can resist!?
- Lending library: Borrow some of my personal favorites for the beach or to read in bed at night. Feel free to add to the collection if you have a book you d like to share with the world.
- Game supply: Pass an evening with your pals sipping wine and playing board games.
-More common area seating: I ve updated the common spaces to include additional relaxing space.
This building was built in the turn of the century, making it a beautiful vintage style home. Keep your eye open throughout the apartment for vintage furniture, hand reupholstered treasures, and personal touches that come from my love of design. Due to the fact that the building was built around WWI, you ll hear a few creaks and signs of age, but my past guests have loved the charm of this welcoming space.

Doesn’t Meet Customary VRBO Standards
We stayed 15 days. Tried to find another rental a few days in but nothing was available on short notice. The place hasn’t been deep cleaned in a long time. Thick dust everywhere. Leaves on the artificial plants caked with dirt. Big dust bunnies in corners, baseboards dirty, cobwebs on the ceiling. It’s a 100+ year old building so I understand the charm of age, but the paint is chipped and dirty throughout. Shower curtain had red and brown algea. No exhaust in the kitchen so fire alarm went off when we tried to cook. Kitchen poorly stocked. Two dinner forks and 2 salad forks. Pulled a wooden spatula out of the drawer that was crusted on both sides with old food. What was once the living room is now the main bedroom so the common living space is the dining room which holds a couch and a 24” round glass table with 2 chairs. (A 3rd dinette chair was broken/unusable) - probably fine if you’re only staying 1 or 2 nights. The whole place felt neglected. Neighborhood was AWESOME - best thing about the rental. All the sights and sounds of urban living. Super dog friendly. We enjoyed quite a few pool games at Sweet Water, tacos from the street vender on the corner next to Sweet Water, outdoor cocktails at Ellie’s and donuts. We experienced a few noise issues that were out of Kate’s control. She was very responsive in her efforts to help in any way she could.

Great location, but could use some updates
Overall, the place is in an excellent location, and is perfectly suitable for a short stay. However, we stayed when the weather was cold, and heating was not adequate and we could never get hot water to the kitchen sink. Furnishings are functional, but some could use replacing. Kate provided excellent recommendations in and around the neighborhood!

Amazing location for our stay
Traveled to LGB for a wedding at The Ebell, and Kate’s place was a great choice for our stay, being that it was only 3 blocks away. We loved being able to walk to restaurants, a 7-11, a donut shop with really good coffee. The unit is in a multi-unit building built in 1915, and has charming original floors and built-ins! It’s equipped with all that we needed for our stay and the beds were comfortable (this is highly important, to me at least). We were thankful for the window AC units altho they were a bit dirty; this is my only complaint. Just a note for those sensitive like me or with health issues, the next door neighbor smokes cigarettes on the shared balcony and the smell does seep into the little laundry area through the rear door, but does dissipate enough to not smell in the smaller bedroom nearby. Kate is a responsive host and was super kind and accommodated our last minute ask to check out 30 mins late, and we were able to enjoy an amazing brunch at Ellie’s before leaving, without bringing our luggage!
