11/22 - - IT'S TRUE! DECEMBER IS STILL AVAILABLE...
Located conveniently between Los Angeles and Orange County, this Alamitos Bay beach cottage is in the exclusive Peninsula neighborhood of Long Beach. You'll find you've arrived in a quiet little beach town with all the amenities of a large metropolitan city.
Your getaway is between the Bay and the Ocean - enjoy the sunrise on the Bay (just about 150 feet away), and the sunset on the Beach (maybe 250 feet away). But be sure to relax and take a breath! You're on vacation. And even if you've come for work in the City, at the University, or at the Port, we'll do our best to make you feel like you've just found your new 'home office' in this secluded spot.
Make your way through the gate and meander up the stairs to find your own spacious deck where you can BBQ, dine alfresco, or just lounge the day away. This cozy 1 bedroom/1 bath has everything you could want in your very own home away from home. We'll even customize your bedroom configuration. Would you rather have two twin beds? Done. On the other hand, would you prefer a cozy Queen Bed? The luxurious linens won't be all you'll be happy about. Let us make sure it's just what you'll need to make your stay a comfortable one.
Our goal is to make sure you're surrounded by things that say, "welcome, won't you come and stay for a while?" When you're ready to stroll out to the bay, or the beach, your beach chair and towel will be waiting. Our impeccable attention to detail will let you know, we want to make your retreat a tranquil one. Backgammon, chess anyone? Watch a movie? Need a book? No need to run in to town. Unless you want to. And then just grab the 'virtual concierge' a book of attractions, museums, casual or fine dining suggestions, and a calendar of local events to attend. Maybe you're looking for a place to pamper yourself while a friend runs the Long Beach Marathon? Whatever you choose to do with your time, you'll be sure to want to return time and time again.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1989
Thanks for considering our beach cottage on Alamitos Bay in Long Beach, California. We like a little water and a little sand between our toes. Or a little stroll on the wooden boardwalk at sunset. This is just the place for both! Alamitos Bay has long been a tranquil refuge - with a sense of community that you won't find in other towns. Come and see for yourself - in the most unlikely place - you'll find Harmony.
Why the Owner Chose Long Beach
Long Beach is not only its own City, but it's close to both Orange County and Los Angeles County attractions, sites, and destinations. Being right in the middle of things - that's why we're here! We hope you'll want to be here too.
The Unique Benefits of this Duplex
Situated between the bay and the beach, this 1940's shingled beach cottage for two is tucked away from the every day. Have coffee on the deck, or meander out to the bay and take in a magnificent sunrise while planning the rest of your day. In the evening, grab your running shoes, or a glass of spirits and head out to the boardwalk to watch the sun set over the ocean and the Palos Verdes Peninsula. For dinner, visit Belmont Shore and 2nd Street - just a short stroll away - or stay home and cook in a fully appointed kitchen - or BBQ if you like, instead. Set up your computer and work, or set up your sewing machine and quilt. Or just come and 'set' a while...whatever you choose, you'll choose to return again and again.
