Charming Beach Getaway/Next to Beach & 2nd Street/Lower Unit

Welcome to our updated and remodeled Classic Spanish-inspired Duplex (Lower Unit), located on a corner lot in the heart of Belmont Shore. Situated between the world-famous 2nd Street and the beach, our property offers easy access to wonderful restaurants, shopping options, close proximity to the bay, and various recreational amenities, all within a short walk.

Property Address/Location:
131 Quincy Ave. Belmont Shore, LB, CA90803

The unit has 2 large BR & 1.75 baths, and a full large kitchen, fully stocked with a blender, coffee maker, pots & pans to cook with, a dining, and a large living room. It also comes with a full washer and dryer.

This property exudes unique charm with its distinct architectural characteristics of the era, including coved and rounded ceilings, plaster walls, double doors and windows, shutters, built-ins, nooks, original hardwood flooring, and open floor plans.

The unit offers a front lawn, perfect for relaxation and hanging out, as well as a back patio exclusive to the lower unit. It provides a much quieter environment compared to properties near 2nd Street or the beach. Being situated on a corner means you won't have neighbors' noise on both sides. This feature makes our unit highly desirable, as properties close to 2nd Street or the beach often suffer from significant traffic noise. Additionally, our unit has central heating, which is uncommon but essential for chilly evenings, and portable AC units to keep you cool during the summer. We've equipped it with super-fast fiber-optic WIFI and a Minut Noise Monitor for your convenience. Moreover, a built-in water filter system ensures you can fill up your water bottles with fresh and delicious water.

Neighborhood Description:
Our property is situated in a safe and quiet neighborhood, nestled between the world-famous 2nd Street and the beach on Belmont Shore.

Getting around:
Our location offers the best of both worlds, being positioned between the world-famous 2nd Street and the beach. You are just two blocks away from a variety of restaurants, shopping venues, and bars. Engaging in beach activities is convenient, with a 6-mile bike and rollerblade path along the sand, options for sunbathing and swimming at the bay's lagoons, and various water sports activities such as boating, kayaking, windsurfing, jet-skiing, and water skiing (rentals available in the area). Taking a stroll along 2nd Street allows you to explore its shops, restaurants, and boutiques. Additionally, you can indulge in romantic gondola rides on Naples Island or enjoy movies on the beach. The area also offers a diverse nightlife scene, featuring numerous clubs, coffeehouses, and restaurants.

If you're looking to work out during your stay, you can visit ICONIX, a resort-style gym located just two blocks from the house. They offer a free 3-day pass, and there is no pressure to join. Simply inform them that you are not from the area and would like to use their facilities for a workout. The gym's address is 4101 E Olympic Plaza, Long Beach, CA 90803.

Our unit is not suitable for parties and loud music. If your intention is to come to Belmont Shores to party and blast music, this unit may not be the right fit for you. However, our fantastic place is perfect for large families or groups of friends who want to enjoy a wonderful time in this amazing neighborhood and duplex.

To maintain a peaceful environment, we have implemented the Minut decimal and motion monitoring system in our unit. This system helps prevent parties from taking place. It does not include any video or audio surveillance, but rather monitors the decibel levels and motion to detect the number of people in the unit.

Please be aware that quiet hours in the neighborhood are observed from 10 pm to 7 am. Our Minut system ensures compliance with this policy by automatically notifying you via text and/or phone call if the decibel limit exceeds 75 for more than 10 minutes between the hours of 10 pm and 7 am.

We kindly request your attention to a particular aspect of our property. Our space may not be suitable for young children who are prone to running around indoors or in hallways.

While we certainly welcome families, we feel it's essential to highlight that our property may have certain features or limitations that could pose safety concerns for energetic youngsters. We want all our guests to have a safe and pleasant stay, and we believe it's important to be transparent about any potential hazards.

We hope you understand our concern and appreciate your cooperation in ensuring a harmonious experience for everyone involved. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this matter, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to assist you in any way we can.

By adhering to these guidelines, we aim to provide a comfortable and peaceful experience for all guests.

Short visit in LB
The property is charming on the outside and inside. The parking was no trouble and the kitchen was well stocked. My only concern was the damp and musty smell. When we arrived there was an air dehumidifier running and a smell of mildew that never fulling went away. Not sure of the reason but it was a great neighborhood to spend a few days in. Walked the beach and eat well at the nearby eateries. Recommend it highly!

Great Stay
We all very much enjoyed our stay at this property. The owner was easy to work and communicate with. The property is bigger than it looks in the pictures and that was a good surprise. Nicely located in Belmont Shores area. Walking distance to many things including beach. The house slept comfortably a 2yo, 5yo, 11yo and 2 adults. The area is very nice with many pleasant people. Parking can be an issue but overall we didn't have any trouble. Anywhere you would stay in this area you will have the same possible issues. It is just how it is In Belmont Shores but very much worth the location if planning to stay in Long Beach. This is the area you want to stay when visiting Long Beach and this is an excellent property to stay at. Would recommend to others.

Charming house, dream location
We’d stay here again in a heart beat. Quiet, down the street from the beach and the lively 2nd st, we couldn’t have asked for a better location. House was charming, cozy, and comfortable.

Wonderful Belmont Shores Apartment
The apartment was great, clean and spacious. The neighborhood and location are awesome. Quick walk to the beach and 2nd street, but just far enough away to be super quiet. Will definitely book this place again. Shawn is great to work with and quick to respond to any message.

Delightful
The property had absolutely everything we needed and is so well appointed. Beds were so comfortable and the big screen TV was nice. Parking can be a bit tricky on certain days but no fault of the owner. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet stay while visiting the LA or Orange County area. Thanks
