The host was helpful and responsive. For some reason the welcome info didn’t show on the Vrbo account till a day later. Once we had the info and photos-things became more clear on how to access the driveway, etc.

Great place with retro theme

Very clean and well equipped for our family group of 3 couples. Back parking area was narrow, but great to use as street parking can be hard to find. Convenient to some good small local eateries, walkable to beach.

Tried to contact the host numerous times but got no response. I’m not even sure how to begin this rating, as I look at all the ratings for each property before I book. There was no indication that this property had any issues, so I booked our Christmas vacation in Long Beach. Accessibility to this property was complicated. The locks on both the back door and front door were very shaky at best. The lockbox to get the key for the gate was difficult… so much so that I couldn’t put the key back in when we left. I didn’t expect that we were going to be cleaning when we arrived and that’s what we did. The sheets on the bed in the middle bedroom were not changed, filthy at the bottom, urine & blood stains on the comforter. I doubt the owner of this property would like this, neither do we. I had to wash everything just to use them. Carpet in bathroom was filthy. The cockroach traps/bait and the German cockroaches in the kitchen cabinets really bugged me. The pots and pans and oven were filthy. The coffee maker had water in it from previous guests and the water had particles floating in it. All the trash cans outside were full of trash from previous guests. The dryer had sand in it and the washer smelled like mold. Dishes in the cabinets were wet as the turnaround on this home must be often. The housecleaning people were there when we left and weren’t very helpful with the lock box but really that wasn’t their job. This house has been used for one thing… to generate income.

Long Beach stay

Really enjoyed our stay! Property has safe off-street parking, behind locked gate, which could fit more than 1 car if needed. And a mandarin orange tree behind the house! Really cool decor, with tons of vinyl albums, guitar, and turntable! Beds were really comfortable, and although street in front is fairly busy, no problem with noise. Great to have washer/dryer in the house too.

We both work corporate jobs (software sales & project management — borrrrring), but our dream is to leave the
corporate man behind to be professional beach bums one day.
