We had an amazing stay at this beautiful house in Long Beach! The house was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect—close to the beach, restaurants, and major attractions in the area. Our host was incredibly responsive and accommodating, making check-in and check-out a breeze. The neighborhood was peaceful, and we truly felt at home. We especially enjoyed the outdoor space, which was great for relaxing after a day of exploring. Would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Long Beach and would love to stay here again in the future!

Redondo Beach house 5 min walk to beach-Historic

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 179 reviews3 weeks ago

We've stayed at many AirBnBs over the years, and Debra's place will always stand among the best. An easy, charming walk to the beach is a highlight, for sure, but the house itself is larger than we expected. The owners retreat at the back of the house is quietly set back from the front of the house and the other two bedrooms, allowing for privacy for parents and teens, and we had ample tables and chairs to do our work, our reading, and our planning for day trips. Easy drive to/from the airport, exceedingly walkable to pretty much anything you'd want or need, and parking on-street was consistently easy, right in front of the house. Debra is an ideal host: careful, thoughtful, fun, kind. She made us the best lemonade on earth from the lemons on the tree out front of the house. The hummingbirds were active throughout the day, and watching them at the kitchen window was idyllic. The gardens in the back of the house were amazing. Hard to not say more: a truly great stay!

Ocean Boulevard Beachfront Home

4.87 out of 5 average rating, 15 reviews3 months ago

Fantastic host! Stocked the fridge with water and left us some fruit and chocolate for our arrival. Gave us early check in and late checkout. The house itself was very clean and well maintained. The upstairs bathrooms even have bidets. Would 100% stay again. The only negative worth mentioning is the house is on a main road so there was car noise audible in the mornings. But that's the trade off for being directly across from the beach entrance.
