Loved the stay, host was incredibly accommodating and the location is hard to beat. Would love to stay here again and looking for dates in the near future to do just that.
Great location only a half block from the bay beach and a block to the ocean. The bay beach is very quiet and calm! Our hosts were helpful and very responsive. My kids loved the bunk beds. The bathroom is on the older side, but everything worked.
We were in town for ABYC Labor Day Regatta. Super close to the beach, bay and pacific sides. Well equipped kitchen served well to prepare quick family dinners.
The place was fantastic. It is 30 yards from the beach on the bay and less than 100 yards from the ocean side beach. The apartment is well equipped with good size bedrooms. Host was easy to communicate with and provided all the information at check in. Place is only 30 min from Disneyland. Would stay there again.
The family and I were eager for a new experience and got it! Our stay was scenic without the tourist aspect of it all. This part of the peninsula was perfect for us. Tim and his wife are awesome.
We had the best time staying in Long Beach. The house is perfect and had everything we needed. Neighbourhood is so quiet and wonderful. Parking was never an issue, though we didn’t leave neighbourhood often. Stone-throw from beach (which is where we spent most of our time). We would love to stay here again!
The rental sits in between the bay and the ocean. Even during the off season, it was nice to walk on the beach. The rental has everything you need and Tim is friendly and attentive. Thank you!
Great space within easy walking distance of beaches and ABYC.
Kitchen was well stocked with crockery, silverware, pots, pans and cooking utensils.
Beds were comfortable.
Parking on the street was easy as not many others were visiting the beaches in March.
Laundry down the street was easy to find and use (bring your own pods).
Tim made our stay very easy. And we would stay here again if the opportunity arose. The communication before our stay was a quick response to our reservations. Get clear instructions and directions. Once there this property is one of the best stocked we've stayed in. Amazing kitchen supplies, both for cleaning and cooking. And plenty of linens and towels. Very clean with simple check in and check out. We highly recommend this property and owner.

Thanks for staying with us Sue! I'm glad your trip was so memorable. We certainly hope you get a chance to return to your old neighborhood once again ....
This property exceeded my expectations. It is located on a private peninsula with easy parking and very little traffic, less than one block from a quiet beach. Our family of three (mom/dad with our 2-year-old) enjoyed having our own rooms to sleep in and a kitchen to prepare meals. There was a bookshelf of books, including children's books, that our child enjoyed. Our host, Tim, was a great communicator as well.
Hosts were great - available but not hovering. Location was amazing, minutes to both the bay and the ocean! Close to shopping, restaurants but far enough away you are out of the noise and traffic. Parking can be tight on weekends, but we were always close enough it wasn’t an inconvenient walk. Everyone we encountered was super friendly. Laundromat is a couple blocks away on 62nd - you can wash and dry in under 45 mins. For the coffee drinking travellers who want to make sure they have the correct supplies, coffee pot is standard drip type and there is also a french press. We will be back.
This cute apartment was great for my family of four! The bunk beds in the second bedroom were a great fit for the 9 and 12yr old and the bed in the primary bedroom was comfortable. There was just enough space for us to kick back and relax after a long day of beach fun or exploring the city. The only drawback was there weren’t any ceiling fans. We picked up a small fan for the master to help circulate the air in the bedrooms. There was a cabinet of beach gear that was at our disposal as well with a hose to rinse off before heading up to the apartment. Overall, a wonderful place to stay!
This place was perfect in lots of ways! Easy communication, check in/out, and a really sweet location! Will definitely be staying here again when I come back to the area.
Checkin was east, as was check out. Everything was clean and as advertised. The only issue we had was getting Uber/Lyft service in a timely manner, but that’s no fault of the property or owners in any way!
My mother and I had a pleasant and enjoyable stay at this little home-away-from-home. The place is cute and clean and access to both the beach and the bay are steps away. The owner is friendly, accessible, and helpful. I would totally stay here again. Thanks for everything, Tim!
We really enjoyed our first visit to Long Beach! The condo was perfect and just what we expected. Parking was a little tricky but managed to find something several blocks away. Quiet and peaceful and super close to CSULB. We will definetly return.
The property was exactly as described. 4 houses from the beach, clean, with everything you need. A mile to a lot of restaurants on 2nd street. Host is available and helpful. Will definitely be back.
