Located in Bluff Heights, this vacation home is within a few miles (5 km) of popular sights such as Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center and Aquarium of the Pacific. The vacation home includes a kitchen, a patio, and a dining area.
Welcome to beach access Victorian bungalow, a unique retreat nestled in the ocean side of Long Beach, CA. This charming abode blends the timeless elegance of Victorian architecture with the serene aesthetics of Japanese Zen Garden and California Succulent Garden. As you step inside, you'll be greeted by a warm atmosphere adorned with period details and modern comforts. Outside, the meticulously landscaped gardens offer a peaceful sanctuary. Our Victorian bungalow promises a truly memorable stay.
As you step into the Victorian Bungalow through the timelessly detailed screen door and 115-year old refinished original door, relax in the cozy living room while watching a movie on the 85” big screen, or challenge each other to a game of Jenga!
The bathroom features a deep, walk-in bathtub with a pullout shower, and beautiful tile surround. It’s specifically designed for the convenience of both young and senior folks.
The century-old patinaed brass/glass door handles guide your way into 2 comfortable bedrooms. Each can accommodate 2 adults. The large double-hung windows totally bring outside in, making the rooms appear bright, open, and full of green energy from the outside garden plants! If you find any glass door handles to be purple, that means it has been in the afternoon sun for decades. One of the doors has maintained a skeleton key lock system and is working perfectly after years of loving use.
The full kitchen has everything you need, including a Nespresso coffee bar! Sit and eat in the formal dining room, or head outside and enjoy eating in the garden, in any of the 3 seating areas. The garden area is also a great place to sit and have your coffee, or to finish the day with a glass of wine.
The building is fully equipped with new central AC system, to put you in cool during the hot summer days in Southern California.
The parking is inside the secured fence gate. The driveway is long enough to hold up any type of cars, including a pick-up truck.
The whole house is designed under the philosophy of Modern Zen, a combination of Japanese Wabi-Sabi and Victorian Revival. It’s a harmonious union of Eastern and Western motifs. Relax and rest in this Bungalow Oasis.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers.

I had a wonderful stay. this home is full of thoughtful design and personality. I especially loved the backyard decor, the paintings in the rooms, and all the small design touches throughout the space that made it feel warm and special.After a day exploring Long Beach, it was such a treat to come back, settle in for the evening, have a drink, watch a movie, and just enjoy the vibe of the home. It’s one of those places that makes staying in feel just as enjoyable as going out.

i had a really lovely stay here. The location made everything easy, close to Long Beach and lots of good food nearby. I walked to a well-known Thai restaurant and it ended up being one of the highlights of the trip. The space felt very chill, clean, and thoughtfully put together. I especially loved having coffee in the backyard in the morning, and it felt so calm and cozy. The neighborhood was also super quiet at night, and I slept really well.

Cute and clean home in a nice area. It was great having a parking spot behind the fence as well. Check in and checkout were simple. Well stocked kitchen. Beautiful outdoor space. Host was great with communication. Feedback to make the home even better: Add a closet for hanging clothes. We were not fans of the sit down shower being the only option. And no water pressure in kitchen, especially the hot water.Thank you for hosting us.

Wonderful and Relaxing
This beautiful, charming, historical, bungalow was just the place to relax while visiting family in Long Beach, California. Enjoyed my coffee in the morning and glass of wine in the evening on the patio of an enchanting outdoor garden. Joe, the property manager was so helpful and answered all of our questions. Will stay again if it’s available next time!
