We enjoyed our stay, the only thing that would have made it better is more time! It was the perfect location for our family, right next to shops, bars and restaurants. My teenage boys never got bored and we all enjoyed renting bikes from the Boardwalk Shop 2 doors down from the house. We enjoyed being right in front of the pier, being able to walk down the pier early in the morning and seeing what was going on at Dory's. I have family that lives only 10 minutes away from the house and they are now wanting to rent the house for stay-cation.
The house itself was very clean and comfortable. Because we were there in March the nights got cool, the fire place was perfect for the evenings. It was nice to be able to walk off the porch onto the boardwalk. The master bed was comfy, my boys did say that the bunks were squeaky but comfy, the kitchen was fully equipped with anything you need. I was surprised to find that there was coffee, laundry detergent and other items. It was so nice to have a washer and dryer, nothing like going home with clean laundry. the grill on the porch was a great idea, we grilled steak one night out there and visited with all the people on the board walk heading to the bars (did I mention the people watching is like no other?). The parking spot was great. We enjoyed flying into Long Beach Airport and taking the PCH to the house, it was only a 25 minute drive and relaxing.
I think this will be an annual family vacation spot, I looked at other homes along the pier and none of them compare for the price! The owner (Mary) was very helpful and great to work with. I was surprised to see that within 3 days of getting home that our deposit was in our mailbox. Thank you for sharing your beach house with us, we look forward to visiting again next year!
