Long Beach
Just the right size for two people. Need, clean, lots of tv options, games and books. Fully equipped kitchen, and laundry. We did not use the front patio as it was too warm. The back patio off of one bedroom was really cute but definitely could have benefited from a good cleaning.for real loungability. The host was available by phone and very accommodating. We would definitely choose this place again.

Baseball Trip
My son and I came out for his baseball tournament. The house was perfect! Location, amenities etc. I especially enjoyed the patio… coffee in the morning, glass of wine in evening. We would recommend this home to anyone staying in the Long Beach area!

Gem property in the heart of Belmont Shores
What an absolute gem of a property! Perfect location to walk and explore the beaches or the shops. Quiet area with a ton of really great food options! The house was perfect for my wife and I and Greg was very easy to work with and accommodating to our changing schedule. I can’t recommend this property enough. Come enjoy Long Beach and fall in love with the Belmont Shore.

Perfect Location
We had a lovely six days in this cute little house at Belmont Shore. It was the perfect location to unwind, after a very long vacation in North America. Greg was a great host and we highly recommended this wonderful & welcoming home. We hope to stay again sometime. Thank You kindly Greg & Suzanne!

Wonderful beach vacation
Loved my 2 weeks here. A block from the beach with its paved walking/running and biking paths, and a block in the other direction to bustling 2nd St. with restaurants, bakeries! and coffee offerings. No AC but in early August I didn't miss it, with the cool sea breezes and lots of ceiling fans. Very well appointed, I can't think of a single negative.

Location!
Greg, thank you for sharing your home with us, we had a great stay! The location is perfect! Block and a half from the beach and block and a half (opposite direction from beach) restaurants, bars, coffee shops, shopping, etc. Everything was walkable which was great. Enjoyed the beautiful beach with lots of sailboats and wind/kite surfing. The house included everything you could need from toiletries, first aid, beach chairs & towels, sunscreen, hairdryer and so much more. Enjoyed sipping our coffee and wine on the front patio. The little backyard oasis is cute too! Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again if ever back in Long Beach!!

Perfect little place
I loved this little house. A block and a half away from the beach, within walking distance to shopping and restaurants, it was so convenient to everything Long Beach related. It was quiet, peaceful and worth every penny! If I come back, I would love to stay here! Thank you so much for letting me stay at your family home for the week!

A beautiful cottage with an extraordinarily well-equipped kitchen. We found everything we needed for our visit to Long Beach, meeting a new grandson and catching up with old friends. The owners have thought of everything!

Excellent Weeklong Stay
This house was one of the cleanest and definitely the most well-stocked that I've ever rented. Many above-and-beyond supplies were provided (and greatly appreciated), ranging from bottled water and coffee pods, to dish and laundry detergent. Communication with Greg was easy. We especially enjoyed coffee in the morning on the front patio. Multiple beaches, along with many restaurants and shops are just a short walk away.

My adult daughter and I spent four days here and had a FABULOUS time! The location couldn't be better - 2 blks from the beach, 2 from ample coffee shops, restaurants, shopping, and drug store. House is really lovely, front patio is delightful! Couldn't recommend more highly!
