This home was exactly as advertised but more charming in person. Great living spaces, kitchen (even had a kiddy table), two levels, and incredible back yard. 3 different wall units to keep cool for summer trips, which is not common place in this area. Spacious rooms and comfy beds.. Brian - the host - was extremely communicative and very responsive when we had a few minor issues. We stayed here with our two girls (5 and 3 yo) as well as my parents. Was plenty of space for the 6 of us and a great "home base" for our beach vacation visiting family and friends in Redondo. The neighborhood where this home sits is so charming and walkable/short-drivable to all that Redondo and South Bay have to offer. Highly recommend for your next vacation to the area!

Great house with full kitchen set up and room to spread out for our large family. Really private and nice back yard and the flowers were amazing! Would suggest replacing the master bed with a king.

This was our third or fourth time staying at this beautiful home. The host family is wonderful--always accessible, but never intrusive. The house is spacious and comfortable, and the yard (with a gas grill, 2 seating areas with outdoor lighting, and hot tub) are perfect for entertaining. The kitchen is well-stocked with every tool you could need and the flow of the house is perfect for family gatherings. The house also has 3 large screen TVs, and a grand piano. There are several grocery stores within a 5-10 minute drive, and there are several restaurants within walking distance. There is also a wonderful ice cream parlor nearby. The neighborhood is a little hilly, but it's a safe, beautiful area for a morning or evening walk. El Retiro Park is within walking distance, and has 2 tennis courts and a shady play area for young children. We've never had any regrets about staying here, and are already looking forward to our next stay.

We wanted a house near our family and this was perfect. The back yard was our favorite place for relaxing between social events. Only 7 minutes from kids and grandkids.

The rental home was lovely, in a pretty and quiet neighborhood with a beautiful back yard. Lots of coffee shops etc within walking distance. Driving distance (for us!) to the beaches, and bike rentals 👍 Unfortunately, the futon did not work for us; too hard and narrow, so we were short on bed space, since we planned to sleep 7 adults
