About this property

Gorgeous Belmont Beach house two blocks to the beach!

Welcome to our gorgeous Belmont Beach house!
*** This is a one month minimum rental property***
Location! Location! This house is located in the heart of Belmont Shore which is a vibrant yet laid back beach town. You can walk to the calm bay within two blocks (perfect for kids!) or the main beach which is two blocks away as well! 2nd street has every restaurant and shop you could imagine and is only 1 block away. You will park your car and never need it again!
This house was remodeled just a year ago with top of the line finishes. The master bedroom is light and airy and has built in closets, a flat screen TV, a California king bed and an attached master bathroom. The master bathroom is large and has a beautiful walk in shower with a bench.
The guest room has a custom built bunk bed with a Queen on the bottom and a queen on the top each with their own charging station and reading light. It has built in closets with lots of storage. The guest bath has double sinks and a beautiful new wall in shower.
The entire house has beautiful acacia wood floors throughout and the kitchen, living and dining room are fully open concept with top of the line finishes and appliances. All the furniture is from restoration hardware and new within the last year. The gourmet kitchen is well appointed with dishes, cutlery, cooking equipment, etc.
The living room is great gathering place wit’s a large L shaped cloud couch and a flat screen tv. It has two large sliding doors that open up to the front patio.
There is a laundry room as well as a small patio at the back of the house perfect for rinsing sandy feet and hanging up beach gear.
The front patio is large and has two long teak benches perfect for lounging in the California sun and enjoying the ocean breeze, a table and lounge chairs.
The house comes equipped with high speed internet, WI FI, 3 smart tvs, Alexa, an alarm system, dimmable lights, and all the kitchen amenities and gadgets including an air fryer. We also provide quality bed linens, towels, blow dryers as well as some complimentary toiletries.
Local Activities: Stroll, bike, run, rollerblade or walk down the boardwalk along the beach, rent kayaks or stand up paddle boards and paddle around the bay or the canals, shop and dine and browse on 2nd street, 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 of this property. 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.
We know you will love this house and this location!
***This is a house that we feel very fortunate to have and we have worked very hard to make it as beautiful as it is. This house is not a party house, it is a family house in a very tight knit community with neighbors that we love. No parties or loud behavior will be tolerated.***
*** There is street parking available but there is not a parking spot specifically for our house. Street parking is free and unlimited minus street cleaning once a week. Once you park, you don't really need your car anyways!***

Absolutely beautiful house

This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with renting a property. Monica was absolutely wonderful and the house was modern, perfectly clean, fully updated and fully appointed. The kitchen had literally everything you could need and the house is ideally located 2 minutes from the beach and 2 minutes to 2nd street. Absolutely wonderful!

Enjoyed our stay, love Belmobt Shore

Another wonderful stay in Belmont Shore. From biking, sailing, paddle boarding to walking on the beach, this is just a lovely place to visit. There is so much to do and so many great restaurants within walking distance. The home is ideally located to take advantage of all Belmont Shore has to offer. Working with the owner, Monica, is always a pleasure and the home is terrific. A great place to relax and enjoy life at the beach.

Loved our stay

This was our second stay in this lovely home. Still just a beautiful place and a good location. Much effort has been put into making this a comfortable spot to vacation. We enjoy sailing, paddle boarding, biking, walking and just chill time on the beach. Belmont Shore has all of this and more. There are many wonderful restaurants within walking distance and we even did our grocery shopping by bike. No need to drive anywhere. The whole visit could not have been smoother. Monica is just wonderful to work with. Highly recommend both this home and the Belmont Shore community.

Clean, new, comfortable, great location, we will rent again.

This home was ideal for our family vacation. We like the single story so my parents could join us without having to go up stairs. The owners have created a beautiful beach home. Bright and airy. Air conditioning was great for the unusual warm days we had while in Long Beach. The removation of the home is great. Bathrooms and kitchens all new. Beds are very comfortable and the sheets new and comfy. We walked to the bay, beach and Second Street each day. Parking was not a problem except for on the weekend and even then it was an extra ride around the block and a space always opened up. Thank you for the great home.

Loved our stay at this beautiful home

We just returned from a stay at this cute house. Monica was super easy to work with. Check in was a breeze. I have stayed in several vacation rentals and this was by far one of my favorites. The house was so cute. You can tell they put a lot of love into remodeling the home. Loved how it was decorated. So comfortable. We were out and about daily but never had any problem finding parking. Most times we were able yo park in front of the house. Only once did we have to park on a different street. I would highly recommend this rental.

Wonderful cottage in a fantastic location

We stayed here for a month as we were awaiting our remodel to be finished. My wife and I grew up in the Belmont Shore/ Naples area of Long Beach and have moved back and we really loved getting back to our "roots". The Beach Cottage was completely remodeled and looked and felt as if it was straight out of a Coastal Living or Sunset Magazine article. Beautiful furnishings, finishes and window coverings. Wonderful amenities with nice bedrooms, bathrooms and a large kitchen great for gathering. We loved hanging out on the front patio in the late afternoon and watching the kite surfers and chatting with the super nice neighbors. The best thing of all is that it's about a 2 minute walk to the south to the beach at Bayshore or the same walk time to the north for all the awesome shops and restaurants of 2nd St. We didn't want to leave!

Perfect location, gorgeous house.

We came to Los Angeles to spend some quality time with grandpa who is moving overseas. The house was perfect for family dinners, walks to the beach and close to local restaurants and shops. My children loved the built in bunk beds and enjoyed the front porch for bubble blowing and breakfast. The house has recently been remodeled and it's beautiful . Monica was helpful and gracious when I needed to modify my stay by one day at the end of our trip. Over all we could not be more pleased. I plan to return again when the Seattle rain becomes unbearable next fall!

Highly recommend this gorgeous cottage in Belmont Shore!

This cottage home was absolutely gorgeous! It was immaculate and a lot of thought had obviously gone into making our stay as pleasant as possible. The neighborhood was terrific and the neighbors kind and friendly (adored next door doggie neighbor Maverick!). It is located close and within easy walking distance to the beaches, the bay and the many restaurants and shops located on 2nd street. We had wonderful strolls along the bay and along the Long Beach bike and pedestrian path. Even got to enjoy a "Moonlight Movie on the Beach", which was just wonderfully fun! We enjoyed paddle boarding in the bay and around Naples. Also got in some wonderful beach time. The cottage is so comfortable and inviting, we lazily just enjoyed hanging out there (perhaps a bit too much!) while the ocean breeze flowed through the front patio doors. Our daughter adored the loft bed and made it her personal cocooning spot. The cottage is fully stocked with all the necessary amenities (much more than we have often found at other rentals) and everything was of such impressively high quality. This is not just any rental, it is a lovely home. We were told, up front, that parking could be difficult, as is often the case in beach communities. However, we were always able to find parking within the block of the cottage, on the few occasions when we actually felt the need to drive somewhere. The owners (Monica) went to great lengths and showed us such immense kindness and compassion to accommodate us with regards to a personal situation that arose during our stay (an unexpected need to leave to attend a funeral). Truly an unexpected level of kindness and generosity that we were immensely grateful for. This rental far exceeded our expectations and we would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Only complaint? The beautiful pictures on VRBO simply do not do it justice. It is so much lovelier in person! Thank you, so very much, Monica, for your kindness and all you did for us during our stay. Thank you for sharing your beautiful and amazing beach cottage with us!

Adorable Cottage in a Great Neighborhood!!

As an owner of two vacation rentals, this place exceeded my expectations. It was absolutely adorable and the owners thought of everything to make this home beautiful and comfortable. Our family of four with two teenagers were very comfortable in the 2 BR 2 BA home. The kids loved the built in beds. The location could not have been better for us. We could walk to two beaches, restaurants, coffee shops, and shops. There were several days we did not even get in our car. We had great meals at Taco Surf and George's and we loved going paddle boarding in the bay and through the canals in Naples. Even though we had been to Long Beach before, we didn't know about this neighborhood and were amazed to be a part of such a warm community. The neighbors and shops could not have been more friendly and accommodating. The owner told us that parking might be difficult on the weekends, but the furthest we parked from the home was less than a block away. We had great meals at Taco Surf and George's and we loved going paddle boarding in the bay and through the canals in Naples. The worst thing was leaving - we definitely want to come back! It is our dream house and dream neighborhood. Thank you so much for having us!

About the host

Hosted by Monica

Host profile image
Bryson and I (Monica) have two kids and live in Sierra Madre, CA. We used to live in Belmont Shore and loved it so very much. Once we were able to, we bought this second house to use for ourselves, our family and to rent it out as well. Bryson was born and raised in California but I am from Ottawa, ON in Canada. We love to travel and be with family as much as possible.

Why they chose this property

We lived in Belmont Shore before we were married and fell in love with the town immediately. The hustle and bustle of LA life is a lot and as soon as you enter this town you feel that all melting away. It is serene and everyone is incredibly friendly. We moved to the Pasadena area to cut down Bryson's commute into downtown LA but we always missed Belmont Shore. We feel very fortunate to be able to have purchased this home and we are excited to use it for family and friends as well as for a short term rental property to help with the mortgage. :) We know you will love it!

What makes this property unique

This house needed a lot of love when we bought it. My husband, who is a contractor, removed everything from the floors, walls, ceilings and roof. There were only some existing studs remaining. We have poured our heart and souls into this house to make it a dream home. We love everything about it because we designed, agonized and picked every wall, door, window and all the finishes ourselves. This is a family home for us. This is not a party house. This is a home we love very much and we hope you do too!
