Apartment is centrally located with easy access to everything Long Beach has to offer. Host was quick to respond to questions and the place was clean and well stocked. Highly recommend staying here!
5/5 across the board they really thought of everything when it comes to kids which really saved us from having to pack everything. Easy check in great communication and great location. We will be back!
My wife and I spent a lovely weekend here. The rental was clean and exactly as described in the photos. Jackie is a lovely host, answered all my questions and provided snacks upon arrival. Great location, a few blocks from the beach, and walking distance to the main strip in Long Beach
Wonderful host, easy to communicate with and very accommodating. I liked the decor of the apartment. Plenty of sheets, towels, blankets, etc. Close to the beach, shopping, restaurants and LIRR.
This host is so helpful and the place is really great.
Walkable to beaches and main streets!
When we come back to Long Beach we won’t stay anywhere else!

Thank you, Trish! You and your daughter are real gems! Can’t wait to have you back!
We have family that lives in Long Beach. Staying at Pura Vida is convenient as we are close to them but not under foot. The coffee bar and snacks are great. Jackie answered any questions right away. We would stay again for sure
Host was thoughtful, thorough, and simply wonderful! Provided everything needed in a cute and bright apartment. Very close to LIRR making trips to Penn Station a breeze as well as walks on the beach and a plethora of shops and eating are nearbynearby.establishments.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Great place, although really not for more than 3 adults tops. One queen bed and a single futon couch but advertised for 7. Close to lots of things.
The property is exactly as its listed. Clean, comfortable, private, lovely. The host went above and beyond with the little things too. Snacks, extra chargers, blankets on the deck. A fully stocked kitchen with coffee, creamer, sugar, tea. We will definitely stay here again!
We especially appreciated the host’s effort to anticipate every possible need guest may have. Lots of little details about the place that shows they care to may their guest’ stay comfortable. Also, every text was promptly and completely addressed. I value responsiveness, and they scored high in that regard.
I stayed here for a weekend. I am from Florida and came for a 60th birthday party in the next town over. Tons of places around to eat. I had no issues with parking. Apartment was clean and fully equipped with everything we needed. Bed was a little small for 2 people especially if you're over 6ft, but it was comfortable. Pictures are exactly what it says it is. Host were nice and responded quickly.
We spent 3 days at Long Beach after Christmas to visit friends who live there. This apartment was perfect. The location is stellar - walkable to everything! We watched sunset from the Boardwalk, ate in the main street restaurants, and visited the Fire Island Lighthouse. Lots of long walks but also peaceful times reading in the apartment. The apartment is lovely and gets amazing winter light. Very well appointed. Jackie is a thoughtful and wonderful host. She thought of everything! We would (and probably will!) stay there again!
The property is very pretty, great location to town, restaurants, beach & LIRR
The kitchen is cute & well equipped. There’s a lovely outside deck for morning coffee or al fresco dining & the hostess is lovely & responsive.
There are plenty of books, games, children’s toys and nice touches throughout.
The negatives included limited sleeping quarters. The only bed is TINY- sleeps 1 average sized adult or 2 skinny-minis. However, there is a larger aerobed in living room closet.
The noise level definitely effected my stay. Unless you are a very earlier riser, prepare yourself for a 5:30-7:00 AM wake up call from small children running LOUDLY below you on the wood floors. Unfortunately you can hear every footfall as the house is old.
Lots of pros here, however the cons personally outweighed them for me.

Hi Kathleen, sorry you had a disrupted stay. With lots of reviews on other platforms I have never had a guest complain about that. Although I do understand the concern. The bed is fully disclosed - it is a full size (standard sizing) mattress. It is what fits in the bedroom best and we have over 90% of our bookings as couples who share the bed!
We urge future guests to read our description as it accurately depicts our apartment.
Again, we are sorry you did not enjoy your stay Kathleen. Sometimes it is just not a great fit!
House rules were broken by bringing in lots of guests that were undisclosed and you were quite noisy late at night. There were also a lot of trash/bottles left behind.
We would also like to add that when you alerted us that you woke up early one morning due to noise, we rectified the issue by keeping our children on the other side of the house where noise doesn’t travel as much until 8am. We did this gladly so that you could enjoy your stay. We also provide two sound machines for light sleepers. Most people tell us that is it extremely quiet and peaceful up there and that is what we strive for, for all of our guests!
