Thank you so much for your kind words! It was truly a pleasure hosting you. I’m so happy you enjoyed the cottage, the location, and all the little touches I try to provide for our guests. Thank you for being such wonderful guests, and I look forward to welcoming you back again very soon!
Super clean and well-maintained property! Close to beach and marina. Easy walk to restaurants, shops, grocery, gym, etc. in old-town Long Beach. Small town vibe. The host, Donna, is super responsive - responded immediately or within a few minutes. She was on-site at another property next door for a couple days, so I got to meet her - she is very nice and fun to talk with. Very easy host to interact with.
It was clean, and had everything that we needed! Beds were cozy and Donna was an amazing host! I would stay here again!

We loved our stay at the cottage. The place was very clean, very spacious, and had everything we needed. The host was very helpful in telling us about the area and answering any questions that we had. She responded immediately every time. The cottage and location both have a ton of character and are very charming. We felt very safe in the neighborhood and really loved that we could walk to the downtown area as well as the beach. We also brought our e-bikes which we were able to ride up and down the coast. There is so much to do in the region and this cottage was a nice central location. I highly recommend it.
Very good, water was only hot, called host and she told me how to fix it and got it sorted out almost immediately. Aesthetic little cottage very close to downtown and beach.
