This is our second time staying at this property. We absolutely love everything about it and we'll always try to stay here if it is available when we are in town
I really enjoyed this cute home in Long Beach. It’s close to the airport and Long Beach State where we participated in a volleyball tournament. It had everything that we needed. Quiet and cozy.
We enjoyed our stay. The house is a cute bungalow. We were very close to the ball fields and batting cages. If we come back we will try and stay here again.
Home just as described and even nicer in person! In fact, this is one of the cleanest and most stocked homes I have stayed in. The house was very cozy and comfortable with a cute backyard space. We enjoyed the location in a quiet neighborhood with its own private driveway for parking which is a definite plus in this area. Easy access to freeways and our favorite restaurants in Belmont Shores. You can tell the host takes pride in her home and makes the experience welcoming. Would definitely stay here again.
The family came down to see my daughter off to college. The location was central and easy to get around Long Beach and environs.
The place worked well. It was nicely furnished and comfortable and well stocked. All was smooth and easy with checkin.
The only suggestion I have is the TV is a bit awkwardly placed in the living room although the placement was not a big deal for us.
Everything was as described. The house was well stocked with paper supplies, cleaning products, kitchen tools, towels, pillows, etc. Comfortable furniture and beds. We met the owner and chatted for a while as she was working on the house behind this property. I would rent here again.
This house was pretty much perfect for our stay. The location was great, easily accessible to literally everything Long Beach had to offer, and most LA attractions were within driving distance for a day trip. Comfortable and homey atmosphere with great amenities - a personalized welcome sign greeted us, showing that the host cares about her guests. Having a private driveway was nice, never had to worry about finding a parking place on the street.
Perfect three bedroom space for our girls trip! The house was clean and the listing was accurate. The check in process was easy and the owner was available for any questions. We would absolutely stay here again!
It was a decent stay. The TV in the common area was super odd. We weren't able to sit on the couch and watch a movie/sports, the T.V. was located off tot he right of the kitchen table. The hot water also took quite a long time to heat up but still worked perfectly fine. All in all it was nice.
Home just as described! Cozy and clean, stocked for your convenience, private driveway, and in a quiet neighborhood. Easy access to freeways, and highways. We chose this one because it's about 30 minutes to and from LA airport, without traffic of course. And the plus is the host was super nice. Will definitely rent it again given the chance.
Loved the easy access to shops and restaurants and the freeway… and this comes at a cost, with cars in the street, etc. Trade off was worth it! The house is well-appointed and very comfortable. Nice appliances, fully stocked tableware, reverse osmosis water filter, luxury toiletries!! The backyard seating areas are so lovely; it was a treat to relax and enjoy some of that famous Southern California weather with a podcast and an iced beverage! Be aware that there’s only one shower—clearly described in the listing, but I didn’t catch it. Plus, watering is done by hand midweek so there will be someone in the backyard. Shelley was delightful to meet and chat with while she was there checking on construction progress in the back unit, she’d be awesome to share a glass of wine with on the back patio!! I’d stay here again.
I had a jammed packed weekend with Reunion activities. The home was comfortable and in a great location! Off street parking was a delight! Will stay here again.
New, clean , modern . The host is invested in you having a great stay and is readily available. Location is perfect for exploring Long beach or there is easy access to coast/OC activities. Beds are super comfortable and little extras in kitchen ( coffee) and bathrooms is appreciated. Did not get to yard much but it is a big space to spread out . Happy to come here again .
We enjoyed our stay in this house and would've given it 5 stars, but there are a few things that would've been nice to know before booking it.
One of the reasons we chose it was because it has 2 bathrooms and we stayed with our 2 teenage children. But the primary bathroom only has a bathtub - no shower. And this bathroom has no door on it. It just opens up into the primary bedroom, which was a little awkward. The other bathroom was small, but nice with one quirk. The lights were motion-sensored. So if you were in the shower, the lights and the fan would just turn off. You have to open the shower door in the dark and move around to get the lights and fan back on. This was a small inconvenience, but worth mentioning.
There is also only one TV in the house, and it's in the primary bedroom. No TV in the living room. This wasn't a huge deal for us because we were on vacation and busy, but it may make a difference if you are staying here with a family.
There were a lot of great things about this listing too. The location in Long Beach was perfect - close to everything.
The house has a driveway, which is a huge bonus in Long Beach where street parking is at a premium. The kitchen includes everything you would ever need for cooking. It also includes a washer and dryer that was very handy. The outside was very nice, but we didn't really take advantage of it. It was great having 3 bedrooms because each of our kids each got their own room.
Would definitely stay here again.
The property was clean & ready for us. Contacting the owner was easy & pleasant. Everything is well labeled throughout. Location is close to everything in proximity. I would only add we would have liked an additional TV where we can all watch & not only the one in the master bedroom. I will consider staying there again.
