Great Location

Great location on the peninsula. No ocean view, but you can hear the ocean, especially at night. The beach and bay are very close. Natalie is very nice and considerate.The bed is good as is the shower. The apartment is a little worn and the bedroom is tight. The living and dining area are good-sized.Night parking can be a challenge.Overall, a nice place to stay. We enjoyed our stay.

A great find

We have family (grandkids) in Long Beach and visit frequently. Have stayed everywhere from VRBO rentals in every end of town to the Marriott downtown. Although we have loved them all and have never had a bad experience, our most recent rental on the peninsula with Natlie is our favorite. Exactly as advertised, this rental was just what we were hoping for. Away from the hustle and bustle, quiet, clean and in a perfect location. We love the beach!!! Even though you can't actually see the beach, you can hear the waves and that was a big plus for me. Living in Ohio we never hear the waves!! Natilie is very kind and helpful and truly cares that you enjoy your stay. Can't think of anything negative to say, this rental was exactly what we needed. Thank You!

Beach cottage getaway

I rented this based on its' walking distance to the beach & the bay. It's a cozy beach cottage on the top of the owner's residence with a nice patio where you can relax in or out of the sun much of the day. The bathrooms and kitchen were clean & freshly updated with all the utensils & kitchen appliances you'll need, including various coffee makers. Our host supplied us with welcome fruit & snacks, even changing to almond milk when I said we didn't use dairy! It was nice to have coffee & tea provided too. I felt safe walking around the neighborhood for exercise both morning & evening. Parking is street only so keep that in mind if you want to run out in the middle of the day on a weekend. The bedroom is small as is the half bath so a large person might have difficulty moving around. Regardless, it was comfortable and charming and clean. Towels were fluffy & bedding looked fresh & new. I would definitely rent this again!

Great for Business Travelers

I believe this is my 5th time at this property and it won't be my last. I have to travel for business and it is like home away from home. Much better than a one room hotel for a similar price. Nice walking path near by and safe. Very clean with all the amenities. Natalie, the owner is fantastic. I can't say enough good things about this property.

So relaxing we could have stayed for a month

Our 9-day stay at the beach house was everything we had hoped for and more. Nestled between the ocean and the bay we appreciated that it was quiet and serene. The accommodations were spacious, comfortable and clean. Natalie provided amenities we never would have received at a hotel or probably any other vrbo: from a bowl of delicious tangerines on the dining table, three types of coffees, teas, oatmeal, tortilla chips plus berries, creamer and salsa in the fridge, to beach towels, chairs, sun & rain umbrellas, surf board, make up remover... I mean really... where else would you find such care!

Made for a great stay in Long Beach!

This was our first time in California. The beach cottage was comfortable, inviting, yet private. It had everything we needed for our week long stay. The neighborhood was safe and quiet. Natalie met us on arrival, made us feel quite at home and included snacks and breakfasts foods. She made herself available for any needs we had. A wonderful host!

Great place by the beach.

This place was perfect for my husband + I. We enjoyed daily walks to the beach (which is literally a few doors down), and the host was very gracious by providing some breakfast food, fresh berries, as well as great coffee. This is a quiet neighborhood just like we prefer. Sitting on the sun deck with a book, cup of coffee and sun shine can’t be beat. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you Natalie for being a great host!!

Superb

Nicely updated upstairs unit of an older beach area duplex. Very friendly and accommodating owners live in the unit below, so you deal directly with them instead of some uninformed corporate property manager. Best VRBO experience we’ve ever had.

Long Beach House Vacation

We had an amazing time! Natalie was a wonderful host, the house was lovely. Great location, not on the beach but we'll within walking distance. Nice and quite. One thing I would mention is parking can be difficult, the first couple of nights we had to park a couple of blocks away. Not sure if this is the norm it not. Over all we would defiantly stay here again. Thank you Natalie!

About the host

Hosted by Natalie

Thanks for considering our beach cottage on Alamitos Bay in Long Beach, California. We like a little water and a little sand between our toes. Or a stroll on the historic wooden boardwalk at sunset. This is just the place for both! Alamitos Bay has long been a tranquil refuge - with a strong sense of community. Come and see for yourself - in the most unlikely place - you'll find Harmony.

Why they chose this property

Long Beach is not only its own City, but it's close to both Orange County and Los Angeles County attractions, sites, and destinations. From the Angels to the Dodgers for baseball, SoFi Stadium for football and concerts, or Disneyland and more, Long Beach is equidistance to both LA and OC.
The Peninsula is a quiet, peaceful location for your travels. And the beach cottage is tucked away just off the sand.

What makes this property unique

Situated between the bay and the beach, this beach cottage for two is tucked away from the every day. Have a Nespresso on the deck, or meander out to the bay and take in a magnificent sunrise while planning the rest of your day. In the evening, grab your running shoes, or a glass of spirits and head out to the boardwalk to watch the sun set over the Pacific ocean. For dinner, visit Belmont Shore and 2nd Street - or PCH and 2nd - or stay home and cook in a fully appointed kitchen. Set up your computer and work, or set up your sewing machine and quilt. The Beach Cottage is a duplex - VRBO accommodations are upstairs, with private deck. As a Premier Host, we try to make sure your stay is "just right"! Owner and dog live and work downstairs in separate accommodations. We're here to assist, otherwise, we'll respect your privacy.
