This is a great vacation retreat spot! Easy code access, comfortable bed, more spacious than it appears in the photos, and the host is very pleasant and accommodating. The kitchen & appliances are full-sized so we were able to cook full breakfasts every day. I was a little concerned about the lack of air conditioning in July but the place has numerous screened windows that provide wonderful cross breezes! And a bonus for us was that it was very conveniently located & easy to get to all of our destinations. I highly recommend this place!!

This was an incredible place to stay. It had everything I needed, it was incredibly close to the beach, and it was a great way to enjoy Southern California. The hosts are wonderful people and made it that much more enjoyable. I am hoping to come back in the future!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 week stay! The studio is an easy walk to the beach and situated in a nice neighborhood. It’s been well kept, clean and very well equipped. Ed and Jill were most accommodating and made our stay very enjoyable. We will be back!

Vacation and unexpected delay with Crowd Strike

Property is clean, convenient and easy to access off the freeway Property owner was easy to get ahold of as we had Crowd Strike hit and our flights were cancelled and we were stranded additional days. Would recommend.

Couldn’t have been happier

Cozy, cute, sun dappled and lovely. We truly enjoyed our stay. My partner had some issues with the train tracks being so close at night but a few ear plugs and she was fine. Thank you for letting us enjoy your lovely space.

Nice studio apartment close to the beach.

Nice studio apartment close to the beach. The only problem was on days it was warm, the apartment was very warm late into the night. There is no air conditioning and you can’t really keep the windows open because of the frequent train whistle early in the morning especially.

Disruptive stalky hosts!

Stayed here 1 month, Ed and Jill were rude and not nice, to me, I’m a single gal, they watch the tiny old unit and anyone in it like HALKS , they call a FEW times a week to include Sunday’s in Emergency or Urgent style for no real reason, just to bug , yet they don’t respond to your concerns, they did an EMERGENCY ENTRANCE , to the unit , no real ER , I was told not to use the heat, although it was a storm all month and freezing , Ed is a heavy drinker, Jill never came to say HI, but called to harass all month!! , they have a broken lock leaving your stuff open for theft, they are surrounded by apartment buildings, there is rust on everything to include Kitchen stuff, the MOLD is awful, you an smell it, dangerous wood steps to get in unit, when they are wet, it’s like a death trap, they get upset if you pay to park in driveway , they even asked me to park on street, there are 4 — yes 4 ways for them to enter, and every once in awhile drunk ED pops out of one of them, with so many places to stay, avoid these people and their bull! The unit itself is small and old , at least 15 min drive to village and they hold your security for 2 full weeks
