    Very cozy house and bigger than the pictures show. Full equipped kitchen if you want to cook your own meals, very well located, just a short walk to the beach or the second street where you can find all kind of restaurants and coffee shops. There was plenty of towels and fresh linen in the apartment. Everything was super clean and neat. Do yourself a favor and stay here in your next vacation. The area is very quiet, and the people is very friendly. All and all a great laid-back vacation by the ocean.

    Short walk to everything including eating, shopping and the Dog Beach. Clean, comfortable and quiet. Tracey checked in to make sure we have everything we needed. Parking is tough, but not horrible meaning we were within a block or two of the property. Thanks!

    You can’t beat the location, which really is the reason to stay here. The living room furniture is a bit outdated and the bedroom is a little tight, but honestly…you’ll be there so little of the time, this place is just fine. Communication to check in was perfect, but I never heard from the host again…even after asking a couple of questions and sending a message about departure. I guess that didn’t really matter as we didn’t have any real critical issue. Hoping they are ok. A few blocks to the beach…a few blocks to 2nd street. (Restaurants, bars) Love staying in Belmont Shore!!

    Good location poorly maintained

    My wife and I stayed at this quaint apartment in the Long Beach area for a short stay-cation. The location was perfect. However, the overall maintenance of the unit was sub par. The apartment had a moldy smell when we first entered. The kitchen floor was sticky which told us that it was dirty. The bed seemed smaller than the queen size that was advertised. The shower head holder was broken.

    Location was amazing, close to the beach, shops, and restaurants. Street parking was not a problem. We couldnt check in until 4 but waited to 430 and upon arrival the unit had not been cleaned. Dirty towels hanging in the bathroom and in the bathtub, bed sheets not changed, bed not made, dirty/used blankets on the couch. I called and texted the host with no response. We loaded all our bags back into the car and not sure how to proceed. One hour after first attepmts to get ahold of the host, I called again. She did answer and told me the unit had been cleaned and after I told her I took pictures she said she would send someone over. When we went back there was a Windex bottle and dirty paper towels on the table in the bedroom. I am not opposed to cleaning up after me, but I am not going to clean someone else's germs. The host did not seem concerned and offered nothing for our inconveniences. You can guarantee if you're late to check out, you're going to get charged extra, but nothing if you're inconvenienced and cannot check in at your reserved time. I understand sometimes people run late, but no communication was made to let us know. At the end of the day, we still had a good time, just a heads up you might not get in when you're supposed to and the unit may not have been cleaned.

    The entire apartment was clean, and nicely decorated. The bathroom, clean with clean towels, with shampoo, hair conditioner, and body wash in the shower. There extra clean towels in the linen closet and all the sheets on the beds were clean and freshly made. The Keurig was a nice touch, and was fully stocked with coffee pods. The beach is just across the street and has a nice Eatery there. A nice dog beach north of the eatery, and a people beach to the south. A grocery store about a mile and half away and other eatery’s within 4 miles of the VRBO. Make sure that if you do stay here you read the “information book”, as well as read the WIFI information and the TV. I think it’s a “Google” TV and works very well. There is a few things in the refrigerator, and the freezer has the Blue ICE freezer blocks to keep your ice chest good and cool when you head to the beach. Enjoyable and I would definetly rebook this place again. Thank you/

    Quaint condo with everything you need for a family of 4 or even a girl's weekend. The condo was clean, cutely decorated and very comfortable. The location is perfect for beach and shopping, eating and night life. I didn't use my car for the whole weekend. It's such a treat to be able to walk everywhere. Parking really wasn't an issue. There are so many things to do with a quick 5-10 min drive; kayaking, paddle boarding, dog beach is a 3 min walk. It was the perfect getaway to spend Mother's Day. Thank you Tracey!

    Perfect Location

    This spot was in the perfect location in East Long Beach. We were more so just trying to chill and not do too much tourist stuff towards downtown L.A. but Rosie's Dog Beach was a block away and very cool. Also, 2nd St. has a ton of bars, restaurants and coffee shops just 3 blocks north. Overall great stay and we had everything we needed within the apartment!

    House is perfectly located

    House is perfectly located to be able to walk to the beach and 2nd street. House was well stocked and had plenty of blankets, pillows and towels. The neighbors are friendly and quiet. The portable swamp cooler in the bedroom does not cool the room. There is an a/c in the living room so we shut the doors and slept in the living room the whole time. Overall we had a great stay

    This property was a perfect location -- one block from the beach and two blocks from shopping and restaurants. Apartment was spotless. Loved being able to bring my dog, go play at the dog beach, and grab lunch all in one location. Highly recommend!
