This lovely & well kept property is exactly as described. Yes, steps (I mean steps) to the two beaches (ocean and bay side); yes, you can hear the ocean waves at night; yes a nice porch in the sun for good stretches of the day. Natalie a welcoming and helpful hostess. All in all, a great stay!

A perfect place in Long Beach

Absolutely lovely host and the accommodations were some of the finest we have stayed at using VRBO. The kitchen was fully stocked with organic food and beverages, the neighborhood was exceptionally quiet, and the location is perfect for walkability. One of the finest stays ever.

Cottage on the Peninsula

The upstairs cottage is sweet and charming. It’s quiet, private, comfortable, and homey. The neighborhood is quiet and the proximity to both the bay and the ocean couldn’t be closer. I had a very enjoyable stay!

Great place by the beach.

This place was perfect for my husband + I. We enjoyed daily walks to the beach (which is literally a few doors down), and the host was very gracious by providing some breakfast food, fresh berries, as well as great coffee. This is a quiet neighborhood just like we prefer. Sitting on the sun deck with a book, cup of coffee and sun shine can’t be beat. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Natalie for being a great host!!

Great for Business Travelers

I believe this is my 5th time at this property and it won't be my last. I have to travel for business and it is like home away from home. Much better than a one room hotel for a similar price. Nice walking path near by and safe. Very clean with all the amenities. Natalie, the owner is fantastic. I can't say enough good things about this property.

Made for a great stay in Long Beach!

This was our first time in California. The beach cottage was comfortable, inviting, yet private. It had everything we needed for our week long stay. The neighborhood was safe and quiet. Natalie met us on arrival, made us feel quite at home and included snacks and breakfasts foods. She made herself available for any needs we had. A wonderful host!

Superb

Nicely updated upstairs unit of an older beach area duplex. Very friendly and accommodating owners live in the unit below, so you deal directly with them instead of some uninformed corporate property manager. Best VRBO experience we’ve ever had.

Great Location

Great location on the peninsula. No ocean view, but you can hear the ocean, especially at night. The beach and bay are very close. Natalie is very nice and considerate.The bed is good as is the shower. The apartment is a little worn and the bedroom is tight. The living and dining area are good-sized.Night parking can be a challenge.Overall, a nice place to stay. We enjoyed our stay.

Perfect from start to finish

A perfect place to experience the peninsula. Natalie greeted us when we arrived and guided us in things to do. We loved that there was some welcome things in the fridge and coffee Juice and bagels to start our stay. The wine was a nice touch to finish that first day without having to run to the store.

So relaxing we could have stayed for a month

Our 9-day stay at the beach house was everything we had hoped for and more. Nestled between the ocean and the bay we appreciated that it was quiet and serene. The accommodations were spacious, comfortable and clean. Natalie provided amenities we never would have received at a hotel or probably any other vrbo: from a bowl of delicious tangerines on the dining table, three types of coffees, teas, oatmeal, tortilla chips plus berries, creamer and salsa in the fridge, to beach towels, chairs, sun & rain umbrellas, surf board, make up remover... I mean really... where else would you find such care!
