About this property

1/2 Block to Bay - 1 Block to Ocean - Walk to Piers

Modernized Beach Guest House with Fully Equipped Kitchen, Living Room, 2 Bedrooms. Living Room has Futon that sleeps 2, Master has King Bed, Second Bedroom has 2 Twin Beds (can convert to King) Bathroom has tub/shower combination and plentiful storage. Courtyard is enclosed and catches Bay and Ocean breezes. Free Wireless Internet and Cable TV. Close to it all - beaches, boating, dining, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, entertainment, surfing., basketball and kids play areas.

We take pride in the cleanliness of the home. Sanitizing and disinfectant products are used during the cleaning process. Linens are professionally cleaned and pillows, comforter inserts, and mattress pads are cleaned using a sanitizing wash and sanitizing dry cycle. I have removed some of the decorative items that are not easily cleaned so the home may seem a bit plainer than you viewed on this site. I hope that this gives you an added peace of mind during your stay.

Fantastic & Relaxing

This little spot is in the PERFECT location. Close to the actual beach, food & shops, and all roads to either LA proper or San Diego for sightseeing. The space was great for 3 people, and while on the bathroom is small (as anticipated) it was still plenty of room for everyone to relax as needed. Parking was easy to find, being it was a quiet post holiday week, and we all very much enjoyed the quiet neighborhood & great light in the space. Would absolutely stay again!

So fun!

This house is very close to a beautiful beach that is excellent for young children. You can also go to the beach across the street and play in the waves. This was a great option when you have Younger and older children. We took the trolley to fun zone!!! Went parasailing for my daughter’s 13th birthday!! What a great trip!

Perfect stay

Great location, close to beach, harbor, shopping, & dining. Very comfortable accommodations with great beds & bedding. Adequate storage for your stuff too so you don’t need to live out of a suitcase. There’s an AC unit which helped when it was hotter. Overall it was a beautiful unit that met all our needs and if we had any questions we were able to text the property manager & would get a quick response. Would definitely stay there again & highly recommend it!

Great location as long as you do not mind a lot of noise in the morning. Apartment overlooks a nursery school playground so sleeping in will not be easy. Other than that, hosts were wonderful,. Place was clean and location was stellar.

Great location and very well taken care of

My 13 year old son and 11 year old daughter stayed at this great property. Once we arrived there was really no need to drive anywhere. We enjoyed our walks on the beach and riding our rented bicycles. We did go to Disneyland one day which was only about 30 minutes away. Cindi was very accommodating and helpful. There is no bike parking at the property so be sure you locate the bike racks down the street for your bike if you keep it overnight.

Overall nice!

Overall really great stay! Great location very close to beach and walking distance to most activities. Only minor thing was the bathroom was a small. Otherwise heater, AC, washer/dryer were all very nice, convenient with families. Perhaps a suggestion is maybe a stool for kids to use to get up to bathroom sink? Our 4 yr old was a bit too short. Thanks again to Cindi for hosting !

Second time our family of five have stayed here. Right in between the bay and the ocean. Perfect location and the two bedroom home is very classy modern chic with an air conditioner in the main bedroom that flows into the living room. Spotlessly clean. Washer dryer. Owners very responsive.
