Staying at this property was such a wonderful experience. The host, Jean, answered all my questions promptly and provided recommendations for the area around the home. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others! Thanks again Jean!

As the title states, the stay was simple and we very much enjoyed our time. The pictures provided are accurate, Jean is very quick to respond, and the house had anything you could possibly need. The travel time to the airport and port of call were minimal. I would stay again!!
The property is very nice & beautiful. Very accommodating and I can’t stress enough how attentive and nice the property manager, Jean, is. She accommodated us at every turn we made and I definitely will be back! Thanks again, Jean!

Thank you so much for your stay Adrianne. I hope to have you back again!
The property is wonderful. Well kept, attractive and a fully loaded kitchen. Which is great as we like to cook. The backyard and pool were perfect. The kids loved playing in the water while the adults enjoyed the shaded patio. Beds were comfortable, rooms good sized. It was a lovely place to celebrate with a small group of people. Eugenie was a great host - quick to respond and accommodating. I would absolutely stay there again and recommend the place to anyone.
We were on the go most of the time so we didn't spend a lot of time at the house. Pool is nice but like the review said not warm yet--we even had wet suits. I'm sure it's amazing once it's warmer.
Beds are firm if that's what you like.

Thank you for your stay Gail. From what I gathered it was a great bonding week with family. You left the place in excellent condition. Please consider my location again for a future stay.
This is a spotless house with great retro look, it’s everything you could want in a home base. Within walking distance to restaurants and shops, the house also stocks more amenities than you will ever need! Jean is a wonderful warm host who made us feel right at home, she’s very knowledgeable about Long Beach and has all kinds of recommendations for dining, entertainment , etc. The backyard feels very private and is a lovely sanctuary with sparkling pool. We definitely recommend!
Admittedly we have many people we love in and around Long Beach. We hosted an
intimate gathering of 12-15 folks. The Cartagena St location, amenities and 'at home' atmosphere complimented our soiree that allowed all who attended a wonderful time and all who didn't a regret they will not repeat. Thanx to Gene and her crew, we're prepared to reserve again for next year.

So glad you enjoyed your time at my place in Long Beach Iva. You were so sweet! You really communicated your travel plans well and left the place in great shape. You are welcome back anytime, Iva.
Family funeral gathering with family members traveling from Australia and New Zealand. With all of our different tastes, everyone agreed that this was a charming, good vibes only, type of house with clean lines and quaint pieces that highlighted its midcentury architecture. Loved learning the history of the home and the host was simply lovely. Wish the weather cooperated in order to enjoy the pool but we plan on returning in the summer.

Comfortable, roomy and beautiful
We hada family of five. The living area had lots of room for everyone. We use the backyard a lot, the weather was great. Can't say enough about the swimming pool, which was used a lot and a wonderful patio. It was an oasis. We did a family BBQ, fun day in the backyard. Plenty of beds for everyone plus could sleep more. It was centrally located, restaurant, shopping and groceries was close by. We highly recommended staying at this propert, your family would be happy.

About the host
Hosted by Eugenie Young
A Philly native, Jean has lived in and around Los Angeles most of her life now.
Jean can give you ideas what to explore and how to best navigate LA's crazy traffic patterns to get there... from the best ocean views in Palos Verdes, the freshest seafood in San Pedro, to the Grammy museum at LA Live or the Getty on the Westside.
A writer by trade, Jean spends most of her time -- well -- writing.
When she's not writing, she likes beach walks, tennis, urban hiking, and exploring the art and architecture of Los Angeles. Especially the many mid-century modern rancho homes built by Cliff May, Edward Killingsworth, and Neutra.
She knows the South Bay, Long Beach, San Pedro and greater Los Angeles like the back of her hand -- so if you want the best Thai in Hollywood, kimchi in K-town, taco truck in Boyle Heights, Ethiopian or Jewish Deli on Fairfax-- she can direct you!
Why they chose this property
Five miles to beaches, 2 miles from LGB airport, 25 minutes to LAX, pool, patio exemplify outdoor Southern California living.
What makes this property unique
Walls of glass, sloping ceilings, and mid-century furnishings to match, architect Kenneth Wing and Richard Killingsworth designed this home around a central patio and pool to give a very California feeling of indoor/outdoor living and abundant natural light.
