The place was great! Beds were comfortable. Everything was clean and welcoming. Walking distance to beach and 2nd street for food. The host responded quickly to messages. We will definitely stay here again!
The location of this home was exactly as stated; quiet, close to the beach, and walkable to restaurants. We came during a heat wave so the portable AC units were appreciated. There are quirky things to the home that took a bit to figure out but it didn’t impact our stay. We had a fine time. Thank you for allowing us to stay.

Thank you for staying with us! We’ve never received a review mentioning the house as “quirky” before, so we’d really appreciate it if you could share a bit more detail about what you were referring to. That will help us look into it and make any necessary improvements.
Fantastic location. This home is incredibly roomy and spacious. Beautiful decor and finishes. Beds and linens were cozy and so comfortable. 1 block from 2nd Street which is filled with great shops and restaurants. We will definitely be returning!

Excellent location, access to great food, shopping and the beach. Definitely recommend.
We’d stay here again in a heart beat. Quiet, down the street from the beach and the lively 2nd st, we couldn’t have asked for a better location. House was charming, cozy, and comfortable.
The place is spacious and clean with pretty comfy beds. The location was perfect for us (we like walking places) and every morning my partner and I tried a new coffee place in the neighborhood. If we find ourselves going to LB or southern California and need a place to stay we will see if this place is available.
The location was just perfect. Nice, quiet Family friendly, down the street from the beach, walking distance to coffee shops, diners, burger joints. Inside the unit was immaculate, everything we needed for our stay, oh and the beds where soooo cozy!!!!

We love hosting because it gives us a chance to help others experience the magic of this area, from its local eateries to its scenic shores.
