Charming Craftsman House - 3 Bedrooms With Parking - By Beach, Shops & Retro Row

This place was an absolute gem. What stood out immediately was how incredibly clean it was, truly spotless and so well cared for. You do enter through an alley to access the gated parking, which gave me pause at first, but it turned out to feel completely safe, and the neighborhood itself is fantastic.Laura and Brian were wonderful hosts, warm, responsive, and thoughtful. The house has so much charm and character, and the location is great, close to everything while still feeling cozy and welcoming. I would happily stay here again anytime I’m in Long Beach. Five stars all the way!

Great little house, perfect location and great hosts.

Tried to contact the host numerous times but got no response. I’m not even sure how to begin this rating, as I look at all the ratings for each property before I book. There was no indication that this property had any issues, so I booked our Christmas vacation in Long Beach. Accessibility to this property was complicated. The locks on both the back door and front door were very shaky at best. The lockbox to get the key for the gate was difficult… so much so that I couldn’t put the key back in when we left. I didn’t expect that we were going to be cleaning when we arrived and that’s what we did. The sheets on the bed in the middle bedroom were not changed, filthy at the bottom, urine & blood stains on the comforter. I doubt the owner of this property would like this, neither do we. I had to wash everything just to use them. Carpet in bathroom was filthy. The cockroach traps/bait and the German cockroaches in the kitchen cabinets really bugged me. The pots and pans and oven were filthy. The coffee maker had water in it from previous guests and the water had particles floating in it. All the trash cans outside were full of trash from previous guests. The dryer had sand in it and the washer smelled like mold. Dishes in the cabinets were wet as the turnaround on this home must be often. The housecleaning people were there when we left and weren’t very helpful with the lock box but really that wasn’t their job. This house has been used for one thing… to generate income.

The host was helpful and responsive. For some reason the welcome info didn’t show on the Vrbo account till a day later. Once we had the info and photos-things became more clear on how to access the driveway, etc.

Great spot, private gated parking, clean and spacious!

Great place for a quick family stay

There was absolutely no complaints! It was very homey and my first stay ever in Long Beach! This property made my stay extremely enjoyable. The owners were attentive and extremely caring!

Wonderful home and made for a wonderful trip. AC was great, house was clean, convenient location, a great overall stay. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Enjoyed our stay.Very clean and retro fun.The beds were super comfortable and the Utopia pillows have been acquired for personal use... perfect pillows for reasonable price.

my family and I really enjoyed staying here. would definitely recommend

Great place. Loved the location

The outside parking was a challenge, but they have back parking. It was a life saver. We enjoyed our stay.

Very clean and well equipped for our family group of 3 couples. Back parking area was narrow, but great to use as street parking can be hard to find. Convenient to some good small local eateries, walkable to beach.

This was a great place to stay. Super clean, easy check in and very fast response from host! I would definitely stay here again!

Really enjoyed our stay! Property has safe off-street parking, behind locked gate, which could fit more than 1 car if needed. And a mandarin orange tree behind the house! Really cool decor, with tons of vinyl albums, guitar, and turntable! Beds were really comfortable, and although street in front is fairly busy, no problem with noise. Great to have washer/dryer in the house too.

The house was as listed. Very comfortable beds. Decent neighborhood. Loved the record collection
