This was a phenomenal house for our family. My husband and I met my parents in Long Beach for a family vacation. The location is great, you can walk to get coffee or go to the beach. The house was plenty big for four people and was very comfortable. The gym and the backyard were awesome amenities! We would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic Bungalo
This was perfect for our little family. The early century charm was right up our alley and the modern updates were perfect without killing the character. It was centrally located and the perfect spot for us to enjoy Long Beach.

Nice property, good location
The home was well kept, neat and in a great location. We were minutes from the beach and within waking distance of attractions and fine restaurants.Although we were four guests, it was great having the extra bedroom space, as we are travelers with a lot of luggage. Thank you.
This adorable bungalow was very conveniently located to everything we were doing during our weekend stay in Long Beach. The house is roomy and perfectly appointed including several adorable outside spaces. I loved the walkable area, walking down to The Jug Band every morning to grab coffee and breakfast is a must IMO. I will say parking is a bit tough, other than the small driveway so car pooling is a great idea.

Great stay in Long Beach
This home was perfect for our week stay in Long Beach. We were there for some medical appointments, and this home had everything we needed. Plants of space for everyone to have their own bedroom, 3 TVs, and 2 bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked. The location of the home was in a very safe neighborhood, and within walking distance to a great park for my little one, the beach, and eateries. The parking was secure in a gated driveway. My only complaint was a need for updated pillows, rubber replacement of the shower door, and a missing cable for the game system in the garage. Overall, great stay, and will book again.
