Absolutely lovely host and the accommodations were some of the finest we have stayed at using VRBO. The kitchen was fully stocked with organic food and beverages, the neighborhood was exceptionally quiet, and the location is perfect for walkability. One of the finest stays ever.

Natalie is great host. She is so nice and welcoming. She answered all our questions. Having breakfast items there is such a sweet and thoughtful thing to do. The beach cottage exceeded our expectations. It was clean and had everything we needed. Great location to bay and ocean. Quiet place to stay and close to all the places we wanted to see.

Did not disappoint: the location, full size apartment, the large front deck, and a wonderful host were better than we expected. Super clean and such fresh fluffy linens were special. Felt like noone ever stays there which isnt the case!

My husband and I really loved Natalie’s hospitality and home. It’s extremely clean, comfortable, and relaxing. Just what we wanted! Natalie helped us with places we were wanting to shop, visit, etc. She also provided some delicious food for breakfast. She went above and beyond for everything! We will definitely be coming back to stay here. Fabulous and very safe! Excellent Location! Thank you so very much!

This place was perfect for my husband + I. We enjoyed daily walks to the beach (which is literally a few doors down), and the host was very gracious by providing some breakfast food, fresh berries, as well as great coffee. This is a quiet neighborhood just like we prefer. Sitting on the sun deck with a book, cup of coffee and sun shine can’t be beat. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Natalie for being a great host!!

Nicely updated upstairs unit of an older beach area duplex. Very friendly and accommodating owners live in the unit below, so you deal directly with them instead of some uninformed corporate property manager. Best VRBO experience we’ve ever had.

The upstairs cottage is sweet and charming. It’s quiet, private, comfortable, and homey.
The neighborhood is quiet and the proximity to both the bay and the ocean couldn’t be closer. I had a very enjoyable stay!

As expected. It suited our needs. Very nice hosts. Only potential challenges: street parking was sometimes hard after 9pm and (as advertised) laundry was a few blocks away.

Long Beach House Vacation
We had an amazing time! Natalie was a wonderful host, the house was lovely. Great location, not on the beach but we'll within walking distance. Nice and quite. One thing I would mention is parking can be difficult, the first couple of nights we had to park a couple of blocks away. Not sure if this is the norm it not. Over all we would defiantly stay here again. Thank you Natalie!

A perfect place to experience the peninsula. Natalie greeted us when we arrived and guided us in things to do. We loved that there was some welcome things in the fridge and coffee Juice and bagels to start our stay. The wine was a nice touch to finish that first day without having to run to the store.

Excellent experience with Natalie and Stitch. Loved the cottage. Loved the location. And Long Beach is a good location from which to explore beach towns south of town. Highly recommend this cottage.

Our stay could not have been better. When we arrived Natalie had stocked the kitchen with a bottle of wine, chips/salsa, pasta/sauce along with OJ and english muffins. It was so nice to check in and not have to run to the store immediately. You are steps from the Belmont Shore beach with tons of things to do with no crowds. Stay here you will not be disappointed!

Relaxing with great location
This two BR beach cottage is charming, pristine clean, and has all the amenities you need for a vacation. Located on the Peninsula, it's steps from the Bay and within walking distance to Belmont Shore. Most of all, our host Natalie, was very welcoming and gave us information that made us feel comfortable in our "new neighborhood". She also left us with some starter goodies in the fridge for our first night here. 5-star quality!

Exactly what we were looking for!
We rented this property for 24 days while my boyfriend attended training at the Long Beach Airport and it was perfect for what we needed. Natalie’s upstairs unit was perfectly placed on one of the quaint side street in a great and safe neighborhood on the peninsula . The bay beach was at one end of the street and the ocean on the other end. You could walk the beach for miles and then get some sun on the bay beach. There was a fabulous cafe called Vibes just three streets over along with a small liquor store and a laundromat. Second street in Belmont Shores was just a 20 minute walk away with great restaurants, boutiques and fun shops along with yoga, fitness studios and a Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s not far from there. This was helpful since I didn’t have a car during the day. Natalie was the perfect hostess and was extremely responsive if we needed anything at all. Beautiful sunny deck, gas grill and it was comfortable and clean inside. We had everything we needed for our extended stay and would definitely stay with Natalie again should we find ourselves in Long Beach.

Lovely Accomodation
We had a lovely time at the beach cottage. The owner is so very accommodating providing some starter foods upon arrival and checking in frequently to see if there was anything we needed. The location is perfect!
The only issue we had was the nearby construction. During the weekdays we were woken by hammering at 7:00 am but it stopped during lunch time and around 4:00pm. So if you won't be at the property during the weekdays you will be just fine. I am sure this is only temporary .
We will stay here again.

Perfect place by the beach
This was a great place to stay. Comfortable, clean, spacious and had everything we needed. The location is just a couple of hundred yards from the beach one way and the harbor the other, and in a quiet part of town, it was just perfect!

Perfect Long Beach Cottage and very accommodating
Natalie was an awesome host as she was very welcoming to the property. The location is perfect with ocean on one side and the bay on the other. Many activities in close proximity. Beach Cottage has a very relaxing/home feel. Would recommend this property to anyone visiting Long Beach for the first time.

Perfect..... in every way!
We absolutely LOVED our ten day stay at Natalie’s beach cottage. The home was spotless, well stocked, and so very comfortable. The deck was amazing with a great bbq and plenty of room to have friends over to enjoy it all. It truly felt like home! Secondly, the location. It was quiet, close to the beach, strand for biking, and all the fun of second street without all the chaos! And finally our host.... Natalie. She was there to help with anything we needed, kept us posted on important info, and was quietly there to make our stay the best that it could be and it was! We cannot wait for our next stay!!!

This cottage is a wonderful place to stay to experience Long Beach. The cottage has a lovely outdoor patio where you can relax in the morning sun. You can walk to the Bay and the Beach and it's a nice walk or short drive to the shops and restaurants on 2nd street. There is also a fabulous cafe, Vibes, just 3 blocks away. Natalie took such good care of us during our stay. She stocked the house with food, wine and coffee and texted us advice on what to do and where to go. She is an amazing host and is there to help with whatever you need.

Let me start of by saying how wonderful Natalie our host was. She constantly was in contact with us to make sure we had our needs met and her hospitality was awesome! Not only did she give us a charming and comfortable place for my wife and I to use but she also had the kitchen stocked with bagels, cream cheese, orange juice, pasta and pasta sauce, as well as a bottle of red and white wines to name a few.
My wife and I got delayed getting to LAX on the day of our arrival to the point is was early the next morning when we finally arrived. It was so wonderful to have those few things already in the kitchen so we didn’t have to go out right away to get food. Natalie also offered to extend our stay an extra day since we got in so late the first day. We had to get back, unfortunately, but the gesture was appreciated.
The place was comfortable, inviting, clean, and stocked with tons of books, a nice tv with Dish as well as an incredible deck with a grill (it was pretty chilly so we didn’t get a chance to really use it).
The rental was about 30 minutes to Disneyland, 1 1/2 hours to San Diego, and about an hour to Hollywood so it was pretty centrally located to the touristy activities we wanted to do.
Needless to say, my wife and I had a wonderful time and so much of it was because of the accommodations Natalie provided. We will definitely stay at her place again when we visit in the future.

My husband and I enjoyed staying at Natalie’s peninsula cottage during a recent Southern California trip. One of our primary requirements were to be close to the ocean, safe neighborhood and near great restaurants and shopping, This great house fulfilled all those specific check list items.
The house is both warm and cozy in the overall look and feel. The master bedroom has a great, comfy bed and the second bedroom across the hall was a great place to keep our empty suitcases - so we never felt we were just ‘camping out’ during our week long stay.
The kitchen and dining room were just perfect as we chose to just stay in some evenings and make our own dinners.
The living room has a great couch and two comfy chairs that were perfect when we wanted to just chill and read. Wifi is great - and we were able to check emails and stream Netflix on our personal computers with no problem.
Being that house is located on the peninsula, there is never really any traffic nor loud noises. It’s really hard to image that you’re just a few minutes from Pacific Coast Highway with quick access to Seal Beach or even downtown Long Beach. Parking was never a problem for us. Generally, we parked just right in front of the house. That’s hard to come by in most SoCal neighborhoods!
Natalie was the consummate hostess. Always anticipating our needs, she went above and beyond making our stay very easy and comfortable.
If you’re lucky enough to stay here, you’ll certainly be talking about your time here with all your friends - or planning your next trip back to visit!
