Lots of light and privacy. On a nice street, close to the beach, shops, etc. The bed and sofa bed were both comfortable and the small kitchen was functional. The laundry room was also handy and well-equipped.

Ideal Beach Getaway Cottage

Location is outstanding. 1 block from the beach and Redondo Pier. Perfect cottage for one person. Very clean with private parking spot. Ideal for compact car. Met my needs and beyond. On site laundry and an abundance of local shopping and restaurants close by. Weekly Farmer's Market across the street on Thursdays. Great getaway spot!

Amazing Cottage with great location

My daughter and I spent 2 weeks in this charming cottage in July. It was just what we wanted…quiet, safe neighborhood with easy access to the beach and the strand. The owner was great with her communication. The onsite laundry was wonderful to have. We’d definitely come back. Thank you for the wonderful accommodations, Rita!

Wonderful

Had a great three week stay. The cottage was very clean and bright, a short walk to the beach and Redondo Pier. There was ample parking on the street, and groceries, restaurants and other conveniences close by. Rita was a great host and always available if needed. There were laundry facilities on premises. I’m hoping to return again in the future.

Great Location, Great Place!

We came to visit relatives who live in Redondo Beach. This location was perfect for walking to the things we like to do. We were only 1 block from the Pier and all it's restaurants, stores and bars! We love to walk and the walk down to Riviera district with great food, beverage and store spots was 1.5 miles. Hermosa Beach only 2 miles and another 1.5 to Manhattan Beach. The bus also ran to all those location and the pick-up spots were only a half block from the door! The house was great with all the things needed. Best of all the price was worth it!

About the host

Hosted by Rita DeBolt

Host profile image
I'm a senior who lives part time in Colorado where I help take care of my disabled sister. When I need a break, I love coming back to my charming Cottage!

Why they chose this property

I bought this property so my brother, sister, mom and myself could all live together ( 3 units total). But my mom has passed away and my brother and sister prefer Colorado, so I spend a lot of time there. I fell in love with the place because of the old world charm.

What makes this property unique

The peacefulness and privacy are my favorite features!
