Wonderful
This house is gorgeous, clean, and in a great area. We loved the pool and side yard for playing outside with the grandkids. The owner was extremely accommodating and kind, and responded to messages quickly. We will be staying here every time we travel to Long Beach to visit family.

Great place, good location
This was a gorgeous house and exceeded the photos expectations. It is in the flight path of Long Beach Airport so was a little noisy but I’m from a more rural area of the US so was a little more jarring to me than would be for others. Great beds, easy instructions for our stay overall and for using the amenities. Would definitely stay here again!

Amazing Place
We visited over our spring break so my teenager could visit some Southern CA colleges. The property was perfect for our family. It’s beautifully updated, well-maintained, and comfortable. Gina made everything so easy both leading up to our stay and throughout. The yard and pool area is also gorgeous. We’re already talking about returning the next time we’re in the area.

Amazing poop and patio!
This home and host are both amazing! Spacious interior feel with a backyard pool and covered patio were ideal to allow the family to relax together and supervise the children in a comfortable spot. Patio has cozy couch and large table, where we are most of our meals. Will definitely come again when the opportunity arises!

Great Holiday Retreat
We had a wonderful stay at this property. It looked just as pictured. It was close enough to get to most attractions we were interested in and cozy enough to relax if you didn’t feel like doing any thing. The only thing I would change is the area rugs. Didn’t feel they were needed and they were past their prime. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone traveling to this area or in need of a good staycation.

Nice stay with hot tub
Very nice house, with hot tub and pool. Host responded to a couple of routine questions in a timely manner. Living room has high ceilings with good lighting, spacious. Near Long Beach airport so you occasionally hear a plane if you’re outside during the daytime, but flights don’t run at night. Comfortable beds, and seating with table for outside dining (even in November, it was warm enough to dine outside). Really enjoyed staying here, would recommend. Really enjoyed the hot tub…

Great House for a Weekend Away
Awesome set up for a relaxing, fun weekend. Pool and hot tub were great, kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils, beds were comfortable, really great all around. Host was very responsive and welcoming. It is very close to the airport which is both convenient and a little loud when planes pass over. Took off a star on cleanliness because the kitchen sponge had hair in it and there wasn’t a fresh one to replace it with. Overall a minor inconvenience for an awesome stay!

Magical Christmas
I stayed at this property last year for a wedding as it was in the neighborhood where I grew up. We were enchanted by the experience, so we booked it again for our 2023 Christmas back home. We brought our stockings and presents for the grandkids and had planned on buying a small Christmas tree locally, but Gina had already handled that and there was one in the living room. Can't complain about a thing. Beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood. Will stay again in the future, for sure

Great home in Long Beach
This home was spacious & could comfortably sleep 8. Open concept with living room/kitchen (there is a step down from hallway to living room). Very clean & all toiletries provided. Full size washer & dryer with laundry supplies provided. Games/kid toys. Beautiful backyard with nice pool & jacuzzi. Owner very nice & responds quickly. Lots of close shopping & food. Safe neighborhood. Only has street parking but was never an issue. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks Gina :)

Beautiful getaway
Everything was great! Tons of accomodations including toys, pool floaties, beach toys, cooking utensils, shampoo, laundry soap.
The only complaint was that the small playground outside was super dirty- my daughter was unable to use the slide because of multiple layers of dirt/grime.
We couldn't use the washer and dryer because they were not working properly despite contacting the house cleaner to trouble shoot.
The hot tub wasn't always hot but that was ok with us and our small kiddos.
I would stay here again knowing the washer and dryer worked properly!

Great Host and Great Property
The host, Gina, was wonderful and super communicative. My family enjoyed the property and the super comfortable living room. We also had a great time in the pool and spa. There is street parking but there was no issue. The master bedroom is located at the corner of the house by the intersection…there was only one loud car at night in my two night stay…NBD. It’s located near the airport but I didn’t hear any planes at night…only heard them during the day. There is plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby.
Two complaints: 1) there was toothpaste and hair in one of sinks in the master bathroom, and; 2) there was hair all over the master bed. We ended up removing the sheets and washing them.

Wonderful Property (with some minor niggles)
The property was as described and on the photographs, relatively recently refurbished to a high standard in an open plan style and with a great outdoor space. We loved the open plan kitchen living room concept and the pool and hot tub which we used daily. As noted the property is near the airport resulting in noise between 7am and 9pm but this didn't bother us at all. Parking is on the roadside but again no issue getting parked - you just have to obey the street cleaning signs. Communication from Gina the host was frequent and good.
We are experienced holiday letters - staying in properties multiple times a year - including in the US. The only reason we did not rate the property 5 star was because there are a number of areas where some TLC is needed. For example we couldn't use the closets in the secondary bedrooms as they are full of what is assumed is the owners belongings - and had the same issue with the bedside drawers which had fixings etc in them.
There is also an unpleasant smell in the living room - which we think is down to the rugs which either need removing or replacing. This took us lots of airing and candles to mask it. Finally minor issues with power sockets not working in the kitchen / master bathroom, the washer not working property, and that there were no teaspoons also distracted from what should be a 5 star property. Overall we would recommend but do think the issues need addressing for future guests.
