Quiet, clean, but small

We were having our house painted and had to move out for a couple of weeks. It’s pretty easy to find a place—unless you’ve got a big black dog. In that case, your options narrow significantly.FWIW, our dog loved the backyard, joyfully doing zoomies on the lawn with total abandon.The front of the home features a lovely garden filled with native plants and the critters (birds, crickets, bees, butterflies) they attract.The home is immaculately maintained, and our host (or her husband) responded quickly and helpfully to all of our questions.While the photos accurately represent the home, it’s worth noting that this is an older house that would benefit from upgrades across the board—plumbing, lighting, kitchen, bathroom, etc. That said, the heating worked well (we didn’t try the A/C). The three bedrooms could sleep six, but with just one tiny bathroom, it’s possible the guys in your group may occasionally need to make use of the backyard "facilities".The furniture is also on the older side, and the nicest brands you’ll find are Target and IKEA. Our stay would’ve been more comfortable with at least a cozy armchair and a better couch.

Great home, in a great neighborhood

Clean, updated, and well kept home in a quiet neighborhood! The home and location worked well for our family of 5 to travel between LAX and our other travel destinations across the Los Angeles metro area. The home had plenty of kitchen and bathroom amenities, towels and chairs for the beach!

Pleasant and Clean

My family stayed 7 nights and property was well-maintained, clean and nicely decorated. We visited parks and the beach and with traffic it was about 1.5 hours to Legoland, 1 hour to Universal, 15 minutes to the beach and 30 minutes to Disneyland. Host provided shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, dish soaps and laundry soap with dryer balls. The extra blankets and oversized bath towels were a major plus. I also appreciated the use of hypoallergenic detergents as I have sensitive skin. My kids aged 2 and 6 loved running around the flat, fully fenced backyard and playing cornhole. The backyard has a lot of comfortable seating options and a propane grill and fire pit, perfect for family gatherings. My toddler enjoyed the provided sand toys, both at the beach and just playing with them in the backyard. Only con for others is that the location is close to the Long Beach airport so you will hear some planes overhead. My toddler loved the airplanes and got excited every time one flew by.

Comfort and joy

My husband and I had the absolute best stay in the LA area in a long time. For me personally was like going back home to my grandparents house safe clean, spacious familiar and 100% a happy place. The home itself was super clean very organized centrally located. My little 18 pound Labradoodle had the best time of her life. The homeowners had a ball outside and it was hard to keep her inside for the amount of time we were in Long Beach. The outside grassy area was a big hit for us. We were able to use the barbecue and take walks around the neighborhood and feel completely safe. Miss Laura, the property owner paid very close attention to what everybody would need when staying at her house from a mini coffee maker right down to children’s sandbox toys. This definitely did not skip a beat and satisfaction. Thank you so much for letting us stay at your home and we look forward to doing this again in the future.

Amazing place and Superb Hosts

The hosts did an amazing job with this location. Lots of extras offered by them and when I mistook the arrival day they even offered to help me find a place for the night. This place was worth every penny and we will always check if it’s available in our future trips. It was very close to Disney, Knotts, beaches, and several major freeways that can get you anywhere with ease.

I highly recommend anyone visiting Los Angeles to stay here! Laura was awesome with communication, always responsive when questions were ask. House is located in a very quiet neighborhood and backyard is very spacious as well. We used the fire pit almost every night for bonfire and played cornhole at the same time. This place is definitely worth it for anyone visiting Los Angeles.

Perfect for families

We are originally from Long Beach and frequent travelers to see family. This was perfect - bunk bed for the kids, a nice-sized backyard, pet friendly. There's even corn hole and a fire pit and BBQ. I would love to keep this place all to ourselves, but Laura deserves the praise, as she has put together something that's relatively hard to find in Long Beach. We will continue to look to this place in the future for our family.

My mother and I came to California to visit family for the week. We were looking for a home away from home feeling and that is exactly what we got!! The house was beautifully decorated, clean and had every amenity that we could need or think of! The beds were extremely comfortable and the outdoor space provided a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. Our host/property manager was accessible with any questions we had leading up to our stay and was available throughout our stay if needed. Highly recommend this VRBO!!!
