Great 1-bedroom close to food, bars and beach
It’s a very clean and cozy 1-bedroom that blocks from great restaurants and a short walk to the beach.Parking is easy on the street and the hosts are really communicative.

Tough Parking/Listen to the other reviews as well.
Only real issue is continuous toilet running but if you shut the bathroom door it muffles it a bit. There was a bit of outdoor noise and others could hear everything said or done. Not really good privacy. Kitchen: Not many utensils, only 2 fork, 2 spoon and a couple knives. I didn't feel comfortable using the pots or pans, they felt a bit sticky. Only one hanger in closet to hang all mine and my partners dress up garments. Parking was tough to find a spot to where you won't have to walk a hike to get back to your place. The bedding will make you sweat a lot and it was cold outside. We couldn't pinpoint why but we sweat alot with it and it was too cold to not use it though. Overall this place did help me out for the time there with my partner. It was super close to 2nd Street with all the stores and restaurants. The candy shop was the best and Starbucks was a plus.

Cozy apartment in a great area
Me and my partner stayed here for a weekend and it was a great stay! The place was clean and cozy, it was perfect for the weekend. I had a couple small questions and the host was very responsive and helpful.
Another nice touch is the area, we didn’t even have to use our car to get food as there’s plenty of places in walking distance and even some rentable scooters in the area. I personally tried the ramen restaurant and the greek one and would recommend both.

We enjoyed everything about our stay here. It was the perfect place to have a fun weekend before our cruise. The only challenge was parking…. And the guy we found peering inside my car before we pulled our suitcases out.

Got what I paid for
I decided to book this for my birthday and I'd definitely got what I paid for. The property is cute but my biggest issue was trying to work with the property manager. I accidentally booked for the wrong day and they ignored my communication, forcing me to book a hotel for the missing day. They also tried to tell me that checkout was an hour earlier than agreed.

Great spot
This is a very cute place, very close to 2nd street and a ten minute walk to the beach. My daughter and I stayed here for a weekend visiting family. It is very cute and clean. Only a few issues - but they were addresed quickly. It was an “excessive heat warning” all weekend and the portable AC unit was ok but definitely took a day to cool things off. We lost power Sunday morning and the instructions were incorrect for the breaker box because the la el had fallen off the outside unit. However the owner responded quickly to text and we were able to get it on again. We also had issues with wifi Saturday night. We tried resetting the router but still had a few hours without WiFi’. As other reviews state, it is in a loud area and close to other houses so there was noise but we were not there much so it didn’t get in the way of our stay. Would love ice trays in the freezer and a larger trash can in the kitchen. Otherwise it was grea and I would stay here again.

Rating: ★★★★★
As seasoned travelers, my husband and I have stayed in various vacation rentals, but our recent experience at this VRBO rental in Long Beach, California surpassed all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning ocean views (a 5 min walk) the stylish decor, and the impeccable attention to detail throughout the property.
The location of the rental was ideal, just a short walk from the beach and within easy reach of local attractions, restaurants, and shops. We spent our few days exploring the vibrant city of
Long Beach, and did not want to leave.
What truly set this rental apart was the exceptional level of hospitality we received from the hosts. They were responsive, accommodating, and went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was perfect in every way!
