Holiday Getaway
We love staying at the shore and this bungalow is the perfect spot to enjoy the sites and sounds. With a short walk to the “little beach” as my daughter calls it and another short walk to food and fun, this house is perfect for family and friends. It has a great host and a cozy and clean vibe. I highly recommend.

Our favorite place to stay
We love this cute little beach house! As a Long Beach native who now lives in the Bay Area, we love coming here to feel like we're on vacation while visiting family. The house is perfect for a family of four and is located in a prime spot. The property manager is so helpful and very responsive as well!

Perfect Location and Great Accommodations
We absolutely loved this property! It was within walking distance from so many things! The bay was literally in sight from the kitchen window, a short three minute walk to the softest, cleanest, sandiest beach and also so close to restarting a, bars, and salons for a midday pedicure! It was honestly the most perfect house with so many wonderful attributes. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home.

Girls' weekend getaway
We loved our stay at this property! Suzanne and her team put so much thought into making our long weekend comfortable and peaceful. The front patio area was our favorite hangout. We enjoyed the brief two-block walk to the beach and to downtown, where there are plenty of restaurants and shops. Suzanne was just a quick message away and so responsive. This was definitely a five-star stay!

The perfect LB cottage!
We so enjoyed our spring break trip to LB to stay at this sweet cottage! Suzanne was a joy to work with and the accommodations were top notch! We enjoyed daily walks to the beach which was literally steps away and the shops/restaurants on 2nd Street are so close too! The home was set up perfectly for our family...our teen girls loved the outside space, the grill was a nice treat and so was the fire pit! We have stayed in many VRBOs across the country and this one is ONE OF THE VERY BEST!

Perfect Shore Spot
We LOVED Suzanne’s beach house. With a 2 block walk to the ocean and steps to a tranquil bay, we were able to spend so much time at the water. The house is beautiful, cozy and clean. We loved relaxing on the patio and eating dinner on the outdoor dining table. The neighborhood is super walkable and aside from groceries, we didn’t even need a car. Can’t wait to come back again next summer!

Super cute home close to the beach
The house was exactly as advertised, so cute and comfortable. You can see the bay from the kitchen and back of the house. Miles of sandy beach are a five minute walk away. It was just the right amount of space for three people. We really enjoyed all of the different outside living spaces. The only negative was the amount of traffic that goes by the house. The cars go slow but during the day it was fairly constant.
