Pack a bag and grab a few groceries and you will be set with everything else this house has to offer! The hosts are lovely and communicative. Location is great, can walk to beach shops and restaurants. Or a quick 15-30 minute drive gets you to many popular California attractions. So nice to have water in the fridge and everything for coffee and tea ready for us; kitchen is well stocked. House was clean and comfy. I could go on and on, truly no complaints!

We spent a week at this property and loved every minute. Beach was across the street and the location was very convenient for us. Apartment was clean and had everything you would need. Would love to stay again when we are back in the area.

The place was everything I hoped for and more. Great location and the place is lovely. Thanks so much Steve.

This stay will forever be in our hearts and literally life changing. We live in Florida and rented for an early holiday celebration in California. I was born and raised in California so all my family still resides there. This house was perfect proximity to the beach, local restaurants and perfect to just stay in and enjoy family. Needless to say, staying at the perfect beach house has prompted me and my husband to move home back to California. This property will provide you with everything you need, including memories that will last a lifetime.

This was an amazing place to stay. Right next to the beach and close to OC where we wanted to hangout. Would stay again.

I have stayed at scores of vacation homes for work and pleasure and would rate Steve and Cheryl’s in the upper 5%. Fresh flowers and bottled water greeted us. The house is impeccable with amenities aplenty that parallel the quality of the bedding and towels. The very private patio is the jewel in the crown with ample and varied seating looking out to the ocean. We were able to walk to a grocery store, other shopping and myriad restaurants. We intend to return to enjoy the gracious hosting of Steve and Cheryl.

Truly a great location. We had plenty of space and it was super helpful to have a parking space in the back. There were towels for both bathroom and beach. Also, a few family-friendly games that were awesome! Steve was super accessible, we only had one issue when we checked-in, the code to open the door did not work, but Steve was available right away to change the passcode remotely. Great communication, Steve checked-in on us mid-stay. Would definitely stay again!

Steve is an excellent host. There are many good things about the property, where we stayed the entire month of September. They include: a wonderful patio in front of the house with a nice table set and a beautiful BBQ grill; good television set up using YouTube TV; adequate master bath; ok second bedroom, tiny front bedroom with bunk bed and only bedroom with sunlight. The host communicated with us to insure we were satisfied with the rental. The home was spotless when we arrived and a house cleaner spent 4 hours cleaning mid-stay. BUT: a couple of disappointments, not all the owners fault. There was an infestation of flies and we could not keep them out of the house. They were everywhere. The unhoused locals cruise the alley every day and night, opening up garbage bins looking for food. The flies coat your cars, and make sitting on the patio a challenge. More importantly, there was a renter upstairs with two children under 5. They began running early (6 am) each day and with a thin ceiling, it was like trying to sleep in a tap dance studio. Future renters should confirm that the upstairs will not be occupied by small kids. (Again, Steve was apologetic about it and we do not blame him.) It is a very very business corner. Convenient to a lot of Long Beach, but not a private quiet location. But if you like cool ocean breezes, being close to excellent cycling trails, or want to veg out on the beach, this is a good find.
