About this property

BOOK NOW FOR SUMMER DATES!!!! PRIME LOCATION - BELMONT SHORE - GARAGE AND A/C -

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION . . . "Maison de Fleurs” cottage - just off 2nd. St. is in the most desired area of Long Beach - BELMONT SHORE. A "GEM" of a property with A/C and PRIVATE GARAGE.

The kitchen . . . french door refrigerator, double oven with convection, 6 burner gas range, dishwasher, microwave and 12 cup coffee maker. If you enjoy cooking outdoors, our Kitchen Aide gas BBQ awaits your grilling expertise!

Free high speed internet/WiFi, cable, flat screen TV's (3). We provide high quality bed linens.


For some of the local activities: Take a tour of the famous Queen Mary, visit the Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific or if you have time - take the ferry to Catalina island. Go whale watching and most likely you'll get to see some dolphins frolicking alongside the boat. Again, there is quite a large selection of restaurants, bars and boutiques within walking distance. You might enjoy riding a bike or walking along the canals of Naples Island to look at beautiful homes, boats and/or beaches. If you don't feel like walking, consider a gondola ride and relax while you enjoy the scenery by water! Visit the Long Beach Art Museum or our local Performing Art Center.

For your convenience, we have provided a notebook on site with detailed information on restaurants/menus, activities, etc.

**Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm is a 30 minute drive . . . or take an Uber/Lift and bypass parking fees.

If you're visiting the Long Beach Convention Center, we're a 10 minute drive along the coastline. There’s also an “hourly” bus that will also shuttle you to Shoreline Village another area with shops, restaurants and sightseeing.

The property is an easy drive to South Coast Plaza, Huntington Beach's popular 'surf city' or Seal Beach.

For questions on availability, feel free to call Kelly for any questions you may have!

AIRPORT SUGGESTIONS
(LGB) Long Beach Airport - (15 minutes from property)
(SNA) Orange County Airport is (30 minutes from property)
(LAX) Los Angeles Inter. Airport (35 minutes from property - shuttle to car rental locations)


Timewise, LGB is much easier getting 'in and out' of than LAX as it's much smaller and very close to our cottage. SNA (also known as John Wayne Airport) is also a smaller airport and located in Orange County. Timeframes can vary depending on the time of day and current traffic conditions.

**** IMPORTANT NOTES FROM OWNER ****

'Belmont Shore' is a very unique area and is the most desired destination in Long Beach due to the surrounding shoreline that 'hugs' three sides of this charming community.

**BOOK WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF BELMONT SHORE**
EAST LIVINGSTON DR. -- BAY SHORE AVE. -- EAST APPIAN WAY -- EAST OCEAN BLVD.

If you desire to be within WALKING distance to all of the shops, restaurants, pubs, and boutiques of 2nd Street, this is the place! The 'downtown' area is NOT considered Belmont Shore.

Enjoy a property that includes a single private onsite garage.

This property is on one level throughout the interior. It does however have a raised front porch as well as raised back porch with three steps upward. It's in a location where bungalows and cottages were built in the early 1920's and is NOT suitable for guests requiring ADA Standards ( "Americans with Disabilities Act") requiring assistance or wheel chair.

***** UPDATED CANCELLATION TERMS *****
Although our listing indicates a "FIRM" cancellation policy, after signing our Standard Rental Contract we want you to be aware that we understand emergencies can happen. If you have the need to cancel your reservation, I will reopen those dates making every effort to rebook them. If I’m able to rerent your dates, you will be refunded for those dates. These details are also reflected in our Standard Rental Agreement as I want our guests to know THIS ALLOWANCE LEAVES GUESTS WITH MORE FLEXIBILITY than the "FIRM" rental option indicated on the listing.

This property is solely managed by the owner of property vs. a management company.

Amazing on all levels!

This property is a must for anyone visiting the area. Location 5++. Home 5++. The host OMG! They have thought of everything 5+++. There is a garage for parking, but we had a big car and managed with street parking and creativity! Was never a problem. We would absolutely come again. Cannot imagine staying anywhere else when visiting Southern California. Thanks Kelly for a wonderful experience.

Delightful house with a great host

We were delighted with Maison de Fleurs from first seeing it - very attractive - to opening the door and being pleasantly surprised by how spacious it is. And it is really a home from home, delightfully furnished and well-equipped. The rear courtyard garden is also a delight. We slept very well in the huge master and the house was very peaceful. The location could not be be bettered, a minute from 2nd Strret's shops and restaurants and bars and a short walk to the beach. Just perfect.

This is our 2nd year staying here. We go to Long Beach for a Bbq competition at Famous Dave’s. This home is perfect and never disappoints. There is some kind of WINNING vibe in this home as we Won last year and again this year! Always clean and completely stocked with everyday items you need. Stay here and you won’t regret it.

Fun stay in Belmont Shore!

First off, we enjoyed our stay and would 100% stay at Kelly’s fantastic bungalow again! It was clean, very cute, and had everything we wanted in a long weekend vacation rental. One thing I would like to note, that is mentioned n the description but not particularly well, is that the master bedroom is accessed through the 2nd bedroom. It wasn’t a huge problem for our group but was not ideal. Additionally, the listing is incorrect in some parts (so again confusing, or misleading if you don’t read the full description) about what the 2nd bathroom in the master has as far as amenities. There is NOT a shower in the 2nd bathroom, just a sink and a toilet. Again this worked fine for our group but wasn’t ideal. Just to emphasize, we enjoyed our stay and Kelly’s house was great, but I felt the listing description could be more clear.

Property is in a great location, literally steps from 2nd St. And a short walk to the beach. The house itself was perfect, 3 large bedrooms, a backyard that is amazing and all the amenities. Kelly was responsive from the moment we reserved the place and was the perfect host. Strongly recommend this place, everything was perfect.

Our favorite rental so far

This house is the most charming ever, and Kelly makes it feel like you are staying at your aunt Sue’s French cottage. From the fresh flowers in the windows to the cozy blankets in the living room, she has thought of everything. The master bed was the comfiest I have ever slept in, and the kitchen had everything. She even stocks bathroom stuff, just in case you forgot it. The location can't be beat and is a 10-minute walk to anything your heart desires. We will be back.

Great property

The location is superb, a short walk to the beach and just a few steps out the front door to restaurants, craft beers, coffee, and dessert! The back patio is private with a beautiful array of plants and hummingbird attracting flowers-so enjoyable just watching them buzz around. The kitchen has just what you need to cook up a fabulous meal-we enjoyed steaks on the grill with some good wine! Our host checked on us to ensure we had what we needed for a memorable stay! The Cottage by the Sea would be a repeat for my family.

Lovely house, in great neighbourhood.

The house was lovely and the location couldn’t have been better. Just around corner from 2nd street which had a large selection of very good restaurants and bars and only 10 minutes walk to beach. We also went to Disney a couple of days which was about a 30 minute drive. Belmont Shore was a lovely area for walking around and the locals were extremely friendly. Kelly could not have been more helpful and definitely the best host we’ve had at any Vrbo rental ( and we’ve had a lot). Highly recommend this place.

This is a gem of a property. Classic Belmont Shore bungalow. Amenities are great, nice quality master bed (King size). Comfortable living. Backyard redesign is wonderful. Evening wine on the front porch and people watching is great. We cooked most of the time but also ate out in the Shore. Morning walks on the beach are wonderful. Very convenient. One of the best places to rent in the shore. Love it.

A cute house in a great location.

I have stayed in the area several times. I will share the good and the things that could possibly be improved. The location is great, right by 2nd street and the beach. The backyard is super cute. The things I would improve are things like only having one wash cloth for 6 days and 5 people. I also would have liked either a Keurig or programmable coffee pot. The other thing to note is none of the bedroom doors have locks and to enter the master bedroom you must either go outside or walk through someone else’s bedroom. There isn’t really any privacy in any of the bedrooms, as they are all close together. We did appreciate Kelly’s communication and having a small garage was nice to avoid having to move a car for street sweeping. The home is decorated very nicely too. Overall the stay was nice, there were just a few minor inconveniences.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly

Host profile image
It's my hope you enjoy the property as I do! Just a few houses off 2nd street, you won't run out of new and interesting things to do. This cottage is in the best location if you desire close proximity to great beaches, restaurants, bakeries, pubs to include Alamitos Bay and Yacht Club! Enjoy sitting on one of the local 2nd street benches just to people watch or take a short stroll up the street and walk along the beach with 'waves', the bay (it's calm and great for younger kids) or the boardwalk to watch the sunset. Be sure to check out the 'location tab' to see just how great the location is. Enjoy the advantage of having the ability to take a short walk to just about everywhere!

Why they chose this property

Once you've arrived, you'll appreciate the private back and side yard as well as the gated front yard. Your proximity to banks, dry cleaners, drug store, post office, massage, salon, etc. is all within walking distance - minutes away. It's also fun to rent a bike and ride along the bayside or the boardwalk along the ocean. If you're a coffee drinker and don't feel like making a pot at 'home' - there are several coffee houses a few minutes to the left of the property . . . or a 10 minute walk to the right!

What makes this property unique

Enjoy all that the 'Shore' has to offer without ever needing to get behind the wheel. The weather here on Southern California's coast is wonderful. As three sides of Belmont Shores is "hugged" by water, you're sure to enjoy this seaside community. You also might enjoy the 'Farmer's Market' situated in the parking lot near the bay, this market is a great way to spend a Sunday morning. Grab what you need for the week, or . . . head across the lot to the weekly Art and Craft fair - both are held at East Marina Drive south of East 2nd Street.

Whatever you choose to do here, come stay at the cottage . . . enjoy the ocean breeze, the beaches, the friendly people and all of the comforts 'Maison de Fleurs' cottage has to offer.
