It was great! Great spot near the water and the place had everything we needed. We would stay again in a heartbeat. Loved that they had everything you needed for the beach down in the garage.

The property was clean and exactly as pictured. Location couldn’t be better with beach, peninsula, and great restaurants within walking distance. Would come back again!
It was great to stay at this location! The house was cozy and had everything we needed. The communication with the management company was very smoothly. The neighborhood is super-nice and chill. Definitely recommend it!

Loved our stay away from the chaos of L.A. A gem in a quiet neighborhood on the beach. Worked very well for us. Central location to hit the theme parks, Little Tokyo, Griffiths Observatory, and the beach. Only a short drive south to enjoy the waves, as the beach was waveless within walking distance.

It was a nice secluded place. There was no laundry soap and toilet paper was low as well. Things needed to be stocked up better than they were.

Floor was filty…feet black after walking on them after a shower. No pans to cook with for eggs, grilled cheese etc. Parking situation was misrepresented as we did not have a spot behind the property at all times…just if it happened to. E available and street parking is a bit difficult. Towels looked dingy.
