Wedding vacation

Our stay in Torrance was excellent. The house was clean and comfortable. The only things that I would suggest would be:1 - There were no washcloths and we had to borrow some from a relative that lived nearby. More towels and some washcloths would be good.2 - A larger pan for cooking would be appreciated. Something either 10" or 12".3 - The hot tub obviously hadn't been used in a while and wasn't too clean inside. And, of course, the pool was cold!Other than that - we had a great time in the house.

Great location and amenities

This house was a great fit for 4 adults – large kitchen and dining area, comfortable beds, hot tub, quiet location, and beautiful neighborhood. (They did have furnishings and equipment for babies, too.) Even if you have never played golf, I highly recommend walking up the hill to the city park to play a fun round on their 9 hole short course. The house is older so it is worn in places but in good condition. Although clean on the surface, the four star rating is because it needs a deep clean.

Perfect for Christmas

Our usual Christmas family gathering spot is under remodel. This VRBO became the perfect substitute. We had a hiccup of the water heater going out. Tasha was on top of it and had it replaced right away. Small notes, for a big beautiful kitchen, it was shy of some basics. That and very few bathroom hand towels.

Great place to stay

This place was very clean and just as advertised. And our host was very quick to respond to every message sent. I do have to apologize for not cleaning as much as we would have liked prior to leaving. A late final night and early morning departure curtailed our intentions, so I apologize for that. And thank you for letting us stay in your home. It was a great experience and would definitely recommend. The hot tub and pool were used multiple times and were a great added bonus!

Great Stay in the South Bay!

This was our second stay at "Lovely Cottage..." and we love this house. The owners are so easy to communicate with and they respond almost immediately to questions via the VRBO app. Our flight from the east coast arrived early at 8:45am and although check in was not until 3:00pm we messaged the owners requesting early check in. They said the property was ready and allowed us to check in around 12:00pm noon. We lived in Torrance for many years, practically in the same neighborhood so we know the area very well. It always feels like coming home when we stay here. I highly recommend "Lovely Cottage...". We are already looking forward to our next trip back home to Torrance and our stay at this awesome house.

Spacious and Bright

We enjoyed our stay. Everyone had their own bedroom and shared the spacious kitchen, dining room and living room. We wished we had more time to enjoy the very nice backyard. We were pleased with the size of this home and how our family was able to spend time together on the main floor. The neighborhood was very nice, near the shopping plaza and better yet the beach. Less than 10 minutes drive to the beach, boardwalks and restaurants. Our issues were, the 2nd floor shower door needs to be replaced as it does not close and we had to place a towel on the floor to catch shower water. The kitchen faucet is broken and must be replaced. Very hard mattresses on the second floor bedrooms. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay.

Destination Los Angeles

The location is excellent. It's a short drive to everything we need. We did encounter some issues such as light bulb at the upstairs bathroom started to smoke. We contacted the host and was immediately repaired. We were not able to use the swimming pool because the water was cold and maintenance was done on a Friday until Saturday and was not available to use. The outdoor facilities such as patio chairs, tables are very dusty. The kitchen faucet and bathroom faucet seem to be on hot and quite difficult to get cold water. Other than those, my grandkids were happy and we had a great time.

Nice House

The house was very nice and roomy for us. Except for no dish towels or hand towels the house was well supplied. Oven took a long time to heat up but did work. All in all we enjoyed especially the hot tub!

Great Location

This house was in a nice neighborhood and situated closely to shopping, dining, beach and more. We enjoyed the hot tub almost every day. The outdoor kitchen is a nice touch. A small park is within walking distance which made it nice for our kiddos. There is multiple opportunities for improvement that could make this a 5 start stay: overall cleanliness, no broom/vacuum to clean, pool heater not working so the pool was freezing, no wash cloths/hand towels or pool towels, couch was covered but kept slipping off and needs cleaned, the bed in the upstairs small guest room needs replaced as the mattress sinks to the middle, buildup in the tub/shower areas.

We had a great time at this place--it was as described. Lots of light coming into the living room/dining room area--central to our get-togethers. We enjoyed the backyard with the hot tub and pool. I walked down to the beach or explored the beautiful neighborhood every day. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Location, Poor Condition

I'll summarizes what we encountered as best as possible to provide a true report of the condition and usability: Pros: * The house was located in a nice neighborhood with Redondo Beach and Redondo Pier nearby. * Layout of the house is good, with 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2 downstairs, though one of the downstairs bedrooms was a pass-thru room to the laundry. Cons: most everything else. * The condition of the house was so poor that we departed one-day early. * Beds were made and things looked tidy at first, but otherwise it didn't look very or feel clean. * Pillows and mattress covers are badly stained, including the ones on at least one bed on arrival. * Dirty light switches, dirty windows and counters in the kitchen. * Floors didn't appear vacuumed or cleaned in a long time with hair and dust balls around/under beds and furniture. * MOLD on nearly every window sill and tracks, especially in the downstairs bedroom which we found after lifting the blinds. I say found, because 3 of our 5 family members started coughing pretty bad the day after we arrived and it lingered until the evening after we left, which was a day early. We had windows cracked every night just to try and air out the house a bit. * The stove and oven did not function properly, which a previous guest noted that one side didn't work back in the fall, but we couldn't get either side to work, only a couple of the stove top burners. Many more negatives but review length is capped. Would NOT stay again!
