This cottage comprises of 1 bedroom, living room with comfy queen-size sofa/futon bed, fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with clawfoot tub/shower and grounds where you can BBQ, relax around the fit-pits or just taking in the evening sunsets on your porch.

Why owner/property manager chose Redondo Beach
I particularly love restoring older properties so when I came across the Burnham House & Cottages with all it's historic history it was impelling to want to restore and bring back to life all the workmanship so often found in these older homes.... It certainly is most rewarding now to sit back and have others enjoy what has been re-created. Being so close to the beach is also most delightful and certainly well enjoyed. With my years of running Bed & Breakfast Inns & my enjoyment to meet people from all walks of live it provided to be a perfect marriage. I love that I have a historic landmark that is only 2 blocks to the beach and that I have provided such an enjoyable & peaceful environment for anyone that wants to indulge. There are great spacious grounds with little cottages sprinkled amongst the grounds where you can snuggle up on a big garden wicker chair and read a book, a snooze in the hammock or an evening around the fire-pit snipping fine wine and eating a pork chop.... I love taking a long walk in the morning along the beach and watching the surfers & dolphins mingle & the whales migrating in March/April. ***The sunsets are amazing and truly lovely to enjoy...very relaxing***.

Guestbook comments from the owner
"Arrive as strangers and leave like friends" This saying is so true in describing our visit with Mike and Wendy. Check the other reviews and my wife and I endorse all of the positive comments. Burnham Beach Cottage was a real treat for us and we especially enjoyed the spaciousness and the clawfoot tub. It was wonderful to be only a block away from Redondo Beach and its many attractions and morning walks. If you're lucky Mike will make you one of his famous lattes. Mike and Wendy are accomplished and experienced hosts that will provide you with a wealth of insights and information for exploring the local area and Southern California. Hopefully we can return someday.

Perfect Little Getaway Spot Even if you are working
I was visiting on a work trip and this was the perfect cottage getaway. I felt relaxed from the moment I walked in the door. Everything is set up perfectly and the décor is darling. I didn't get a chance to enjoy the setting as much as I would have liked, however, just being there added a sense of calmness to my crazy work schedule. I would go back and will share with others. I loved it!
A perfect peaceful retreat
We stayed at the Burnham Beach cottage after 4 weeks touring the USA National Parks - we wanted somewhere quiet and casual to chill for a few days. This was perfect. It's hard to believe how close to LAX you are, and also to shops and of course the beach. It wasn't really swimming weather during our stay but the LA 'June gloom' cleared to blue skies most days. Wendy (whom we met briefly) and then Lynn who filled in for her, were personable and knowledgeable hosts and there were many homely touches throughout the property. It's not accommodation for everyone: no A/C, dishwasher, microwave etc. But it can't be beaten for a relaxing and comfortable stay.
Tiny quaint cottage with plenty of seating area outside.
Great location, just a block from the beach and the pier. Lots of places to eat within walking distance.
This is a beautiful setting with loads of personal touches that made for a wonderful stay.
The cottages are beautifully decorated with elegant yet comfortable beach themed linens and furnishings. We loved the fresh flowers and other unique touches that made this a very special place. The grounds are lovely and include a fire pit, yoga studio, relaxing hammock and garden. Just a block from the Redondo Beach Pier, this is a wonderful place to stay when exploring the area around LA. Wendy is an amazing host--so welcoming and eager to do everything to make your experience as wonderful as possible. The area is lovely. We would love to go back!
Perfect!
This cottage is the best! So cute, perfect location and the hospitality is always consistent. This was my third visit and it feels like coming home. Burnham Beach cottages is my go to in the LA area, close to the airport, the beaches and a great landing spot for exploring all of the LA area. The bed is so comfy, the kitchen well equipped and the outside areas are perfect to relax in the evening. You can't go wrong renting this gem!
Our favorite place at Redondo Beach!
Wendy always has everything just perfect for our annual stay in Redondo Beach. The little cottages are so charming - we have tried all three; and love them all. We have everything we need -- we park the car and can walk everywhere. The grounds are beautiful to just relax and enjoy. Wendy is the perfect host. Can't wait to come back next year.
