Feel the many cool ocean breezes and listen to the fog horns at night. Yes, you can experience true California living at it's best.
Other things to note:
Please note there is a long and narrow driveway which some will find it difficult to backup. If you have a backup camera it should be pretty easy. If you are not great at backing up then I would suggest parking in the front half of the driveway or on the street. Just beware of street sweeping on Thursdays on the same side as the house from 8:00am-10:00am and Fridays on the opposite side same times. We also have a surveillance camera on the entrance to the home and a Noiseaware a "Smart Noise measurement system..does not record, just measures decibels" for our neighbors.

The house was excellent, Lisa went above and beyond to help with a few things.
We really enjoyed our stay and will be back again! Hosts are extremely nice!
We had 4 adults and a toddler here for 4 nights. We originally booked it for 3 nights, but the day before we arrived we checked to see if we could add one more night for a spur of the moment plan to Disneyland. The host was able to accommodate our request and at a great price! We were so lucky and very thankful. From this house, it took about 30 minutes to get to Disney,15 minutes to the aquarium, and 10 minutes to Mother's Beach. We hosted 2 of my friends for dinner twice- once to bbq and once to just order pizza. It was great having so much indoor and outdoor space. They were impressed by such a nice craftsman. When one of my friends say the master bath she said it was bigger than her bedroom. Check in was at 3pm. We ended up being in the area at 2:30pm and they were kind enough to let us check in early. Check out is 11 am. We pulled out at 11:01 and the cleaners were there (and did a great job prior to our arrival so I know they use their time well). Overall, we were really pleased at the space we had for us 5. Because it's not an open concept home, which we appreciated, we had separate spaces to have moments to ourselves to read or watch tv.
Such a beautiful garden that greets you, lovely backyard to relax in…and then the house! All the best of the historic Long Beach neighborhoods with modern amenities. Comfortable seating everywhere, all our guests remarked that the beds were comfy. It was me (middle aged mom) and my son (who just graduated HS) and 7 of his friends. The kids had a great time having pizzas, playing Twister (I’m no kidding; they really did!), and watching movies. There was plenty of space to spread out, or find a quiet corner. This would be a great spot for a staycation, for an extended family gathering, or vacation for out of town folks because it’s located near many great sites. One note, it wouldn’t be wheelchair accessible. There are steps to enter the house, doorways to narrow for a wheelchair and narrow staircase to access the second floor. Thanks for this great stay!!
We came to Long Beach for my son’s college graduation and the ease of a safe neighborhood and close proximity to the beach. The Vermont house is warm, comfortable and so nice! We had an awesome experience!
The owners were great and communicated well to get us checked in. Lovely house and great setup for several people. 10/10 would recommend and would stay again.
Excellent Better weather so u could enjoy the patio area
This property was in a great location. It was close to restaurants and shopping. The property was clean and had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Wish we had a few more days in the area. I would definitely go back to this home again.
Home was very clean. Host responded fast and neighborhood was quiet. The most important part was the beds are comfortable. Short drive to the beach or you can rent a scooter in the area. Would stay here again.
