Charming and comfortable home in a lovely neighborhood. Easy 5 minute walk to many restaurants & shops, but on a quiet and residential street. Everything was very clean. There are two nice outdoor patios and though we didn’t have a car, our daughter (who lives in Long Beach) was usually able to find street parking right out front. Host was easy to communicate with and we would stay again next time we visit.

Had a great stay at this property. The home was clean and comfortable and had everything a person would need. Suzanne was a wonderful host in that she went the extra mile to accommodate us and was quick to respond to my questions. My only critique with the home would be that the windows could use shades. The alley bedroom has a light that turns on when a person or animal walks by and it shines into the bedroom at night.Otherthan that it and she were perfect..

Hi Theresa, I am so glad that you and your husband enjoyed your stay. I appreciate you telling me about the need for window shades due to outside lights. That’s great feedback and I plan to have some shades installed. I strive for five star service always. I hope to host you again on your next trip to Long Beach.

Beach stay with grandma and grampa

The cottage was the perfect spot to be. Beaches are close, lots of choices for good eating, a day trip to Disney, and a home away from home feel at the cottage. It provided for all our needs and more and Suzanne was an amazing host. We would definitely use this cottage again!
