Immaculately clean, great location, all amenities we needed

We rented this place for a month while we remodel our house, and we really enjoyed our stay. The owners were always so accommodating to all of our needs, and it was a 2 minute walk to the beach, with all the "beach toys" available to us so we were to bike, surf, etc and make the most of it! Easy, quick walk to many restaurants, shops, and quiet even though close to all this.

Visiting hermosa Beach

I visited from Guatemala along with my friend Anabelle from Guatemala also. Her boy friend visited for a few days. It is a wonderful location most of all. The owner is always ready to give you a hand and answer questions. There are a lot of stairs so a friend with special needs that wanted to visit me was not able to join but it was superb.

Excellent Location and Value

Very clean and generously stocked with supplies and linens. The location is outstanding for easy beach and Pier Ave access (restaurants, shops). The owners are super friendly and responsive. Checking in and out were a breeze. It’s difficult to find such an affordable place with this much space and amenities so close to the beach! We definitely hope to stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at Kirk’s place in Hermosa. We loved using the bikes, surfboards, waveboards, and the beach chairs provided by Kirk. The rooftop terrace was a real highlight of the apartment. Although the unit is downstairs and there are stairs in the house, it didn’t bother us as an active family. Communication with Kirk was excellent—he even offered us surfing tips, but unfortunately our busy LA-schedule didn’t allow for it. The location is fantastic, and out of our four-week US trip, staying with Kirk was an absolute highlight—a vacation within our vacation. We’d love to come back!

Great covid getaway by the beach!

Property is ideally situation walking distance to the beach and to the hermosa pier, which has tons of options (in non-lockdown times) for dining and drinks. The unit is very spacious with 2 BR's, 3 bathrooms and a daybed in the living room. Shared rooftop balcony with plenty of seating and some ocean views is key as the downstairs unit does not get much natural light. Great value for the price!

Excellent Location- Good Communication

My Family and I stayed here while we were renovating our house in a neighboring city. Location was excellent, unit was comfortable and clean. We did have a couple unforeseen issues come up during our stay related to the plumbing and electronic locks (low battery), communication was immediate and resolutions to these issues were mitigated well. Having a host that is reachable at almost any hour of the day is invaluable and that is what you get staying here.

Perfect location!!!

Great place in a great beach community. Perfect location! Everything you'd need for a fun beach vacation. Walk out your door and walk right to the beach. A few blocks from Pier Avenue with all the shops and restaurants. All the fun beach gear you need. The bikes were great to ride down the Strand. There's a nice rooftop hangout. We stayed in the lower level of the property. Thanks, Mary Jo. We had a great stay!

Luxury Dungeon

Everything was perfect. Being in the basement was not a problem. Warm, quiet, secluded. The absence of natural light only motivated us to get outside as often as possible, which we should be doing anyhow.

A Great spot!

This was a great spot to stay. I was a guest here for nearly 6 weeks. The place was clean and quiet. Walking distance from anywhere you want to be. Only a few yards from the beach, and Hermosa Pier. I enjoyed my stay so much that I actually extended for a few weeks longer than I had originally booked. I highly recommend this property and hope I will have the opportunity to be a guest here again.

Perfect location

This is an extremely affordable condo located in the most desirable area of Hermosa Beach. Everything met our expectations. The pictures depict the unit very accurately. We had plenty of room to spread out so we did not feel confined considering it is a basement unit. It is well maintained and was spotless upon arrival. We did not incur any problems during our stay and questions we had were addressed promptly. We appreciate the tv channel selection as we like to unwind at night after enjoying the outdoors during the day. The location just cannot be beat. You are a half block to the most beautiful strand and just a few steps further to the pier. Such a treat to walk out to the Pier each morning and evening enjoying the sunrise and sunset. Such a friendly community! Plenty of options to eat all within walking distance. We really enjoyed the Magic and Comedy Club again within walking distance.. such an intimate venue with fantastic talent. We are frequent travelers but typically stay in hotels. This was our first VRBO experience and it was great! We would not hesitate to rent again with Mary Jo!

Mary Jo was fantastic. Anytime I had a question or comment, she always replied very quickly and efficiently. Her place is awesome. Plenty of room for guests, you cannot hear a thing outside which is surprising considering how close the dozens of restaurants and bars that are only a 60 second walk away! Fantastic and peaceful views from the rooftop were a bonus. An amazing place to stay, only a 30 second walk to the beach. I look forward to staying here on my future trips to LA.
