This lovely house has lots of outdoor space and a gargage which is a big plus in Belmont Shore. Communication with Shawn was easy and immediate. The house itself has everything guests need. It's conveniently located between 2nd Street restaurants and shops and the ocean. I'd definitely recommend this charming Belmont Shore home.

Nice quiet neighborhood about 4 blocks to the beach. House was nice. Could definitely use a refresh. Furniture in living room was not very comfortable. Just a few very low chairs. Noticed quite a few bugs in the house. Owner was very accessible and nice. Overall it fit our needs.

Perfect home for a family vacation!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was attractive, clean, and clutter free. It was the perfect size for four adults and a toddler. This home allowed my husband with mobility issues to be comfortable because it is single story, has a walk in shower, plus an attached garage. Having a high chair and a wide selection of toys was an added bonus. Everything we needed was provided. The owner was very responsive and pleasant. We highly recommend this home.

About the host

Hosted by Shawn Black

Host profile image
Originally from Manhattan, I studied fine art at Parsons School of Design and now work as a professional artist specializing in landscape oils and organic botanicals. I enjoy hosting because I value creating calm, well-maintained spaces where guests feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to offer local recommendations or give guests complete privacy whatever makes for an easy, enjoyable stay.

Why they chose this property

I love how completely walkable this neighborhood is. Restaurants, coffee spots, shops, the ocean, Rosie's dog beach and the beauty of Los Alamitos Bay are all just steps away. You can park the car and forget about it everything you need is right outside the door, making it easy to settle in and enjoy the coastal lifestyle at your own pace.

What makes this property unique

This home is designed to work for real life. It’s family-friendly, nomad-friendly, and pet-friendly, with two enclosed patios front and back that offer rare outdoor space in a beach neighborhood. Dedicated garage and parking spot, unusual for this area, makes arrivals easy. Just a block away is Rosie's Dog Beach. Inside, you’ll find abundant natural light, a fully equipped kitchen, and a layout that’s comfortable for both short and extended stays.
