Comfort and joy
My husband and I had the absolute best stay in the LA area in a long time. For me personally was like going back home to my grandparents house safe clean, spacious familiar and 100% a happy place. The home itself was super clean very organized centrally located. My little 18 pound Labradoodle had the best time of her life. The homeowners had a ball outside and it was hard to keep her inside for the amount of time we were in Long Beach. The outside grassy area was a big hit for us. We were able to use the barbecue and take walks around the neighborhood and feel completely safe. Miss Laura, the property owner paid very close attention to what everybody would need when staying at her house from a mini coffee maker right down to children’s sandbox toys. This definitely did not skip a beat and satisfaction. Thank you so much for letting us stay at your home and we look forward to doing this again in the future.

Sporting event at Dignity
We live in San Diego and some guests from Michigan come for a week for 2 day sporting event at Dignity Stadium. It was a short Uber there n back. Very comfy and comfortable furnishings and safe location off street parking for 2 cars. Close to ocean too. Good communication from owners when needed. Nice back yard.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Borner

Host profile image
I treasure the 16 years I lived in our home in Long Beach. Blessed with perfect year-round weather, unique attractions and events springing up all the time, and big city conveniences with small-town friendliness.

Yet, I got to a point in my life where I needed a radical change. After years of dreaming and planning, my husband Chris, dog Harvey and I sold most of our belongings, converted a van and traveled the west coast for a couple years.

Eventually we found a bit of land in Humboldt county, up in northern California and have been putting in a lot of hard work developing the land, making mistakes and seeing what new challenges present themselves.

In the process I became a cat lover after adopting a kitty for pest control.

Why they chose this property

The house was perfect for us, but the back yard is what really sold us on it. It has a very large lot for the neighborhood which gives provides lots of space and privacy. Our dogs loved the backyard, it was like their own personal dog park. The neighborhood is quite and family oriented with lots of shopping, restaurants and activities within walking distance. And centrally located to many attractions southern California has to offer.

What makes this property unique

Our home is very close to 3 major freeways. Drought tolerant front yard landscaping. Large back yard. Fire pit with lounge furniture overlooking the garden and custom mural.
