Great spot, walk to beach and shops
We very much enjoyed out stay at the Turtle Den! It was clean, spacious, and extremely convenient to the beach, a grocery store, and 2nd Street, which has shops and lots of places to eat. There's also a big grocery, a Whole Foods, and more shopping just a couple of miles down the road at PCH and 2nd.FYI, the building is older, like almost everything in this area, but it's well maintained and we had no problems at all with the unit. The parking surprised me, we paid for the one available spot, but I'm not certain you need to. Granted, we stayed over the Christmas holidays, and in summer it might be different, but there always seemed to be one or two places to park within a block or two of the unit. The bed was comfy, the kitchen well set up, my husband loved having the desk while I chilled on the couch or worked in the bar seating. There were plenty of linens and blankets, spare pillows, and a separate set of beach towels.The only thing I might change, and it's really not a big deal, is that the building is very near to Livingston Drive, which is a bit of a busy street. The drone of traffic quickly faded into the background for us, and didn't keep us awake even though we normally live in the middle of a quiet forest.And I can't overemphasize how good a host Susan was. There was plenty of communication, and she was clear and responsive. Just a great host, and an excellent rental property. We will absolutely consider the property next time we're in Long Beach.
