We were required to meet with the homeowner (on his schedule) for possession. We soon realized the home was not up to standards. The home smells of dog.

The host cursed me out when I complained about issues I was having at the property. He had dogs on the property and I have asthma. When I reached about it he was silent. Then when I told him I’d reach out to VRBO he berated me with curses and threatened me by saying he’d call the cops if I didn’t leave. I filed a complaint with VRBO and am awaiting a response to the investigation. If you have any people with allergies, do not stay here. When checking in the host made my family feel uncomfortable by continually asking why we need to stay here to “pray.” Asking, “why do we need to stay here to pray?” There is a synagogue nearby that we had plans to be at for Shabbat. However, that is not his business and if he asked once I would understand but it seemed like from the beginning he did not want us there.
It was a wonderful experience and stay! The place is beautiful! Kyle was SO accommodating, nice and helpful. He stays in the back of the property, so he was available if we ever needed him (which we didn’t). I will be staying again when we come back to New York to visit!
The house was absolutely beautiful. The location was perfect and the host was excellent. The hosts communication made the entire process very easy and convenient. I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a 5 star experience!!
The house was super easy. Was quick to feel at home, helpful and friendly host, LB is the best! Thank you!
I gave 5 stars for the accuracy of the listing; but the truth is the listing did not do the property justice. It looks beautiful in the listing but actually is far more spacious and well appointed in person than is captured on the listing. The owner loves his property, as he should, and it shows in the care he takes with details. First time using VRBO for us and first time in Long Beach. We stayed 4 nights and it was perfect for us and in a perfect location vis a vis the boardwalk, beach, shopping, etc. Highly recommended.
The house was gorgeous and comfortable. A spacious interior with two lovely patios allowed us to spend lots of time outside. The host, Kyle, was incredibly friendly and helpful, checking in on us and ensuring that we had everything we needed. He met us when we arrived and gave us a tour, and through out our stay was available to help. The walk to the beach is quite short and lovely. Overall, an excellent Vrbo and great host!
