Best Equipped Unit Ever
Our stay at Denver’s unit was nothing short or amazing. Without going into too much detail this place has everything you need in way of comfort as well as being catered for in the way of stocked cupboards and fridges. The host has certainly gone above and beyond what I have come to expect from these type of stays and should be complemented greatly on his efforts. Will definitely stay again when I am in town

Best Home Away From Home!
Denver's property was clean and beautiful. The best part of the stay is when you walk in it feels like your home. She stocked the place with snacks and food, gave you all the essentials you might need. Any questions I had were immediately answered. I don't often do reviews, however, I felt that it was really important to let anyone looking at this location for business or vacation know how great it is. I will be staying here on my next trip again. If you rent this place you will not be disappointed. Denver, I would give it 6 stars if it was an option :)

This is a wonderful place that is in a great location. The property is clean, warm and inviting, and very comfortable. The extra snacks are amazing, and I can't say enough praise about Denver. She was extremely helpful when we needed her. I would definitely recommend staying here and I can promise we will be back!

Attention to detail was astounding
I've never stayed at a place that was trying so hard to make me feel at home and comfortable. The setup with the bathroom was weird and the placement of the bedrooms was also odd but our host did such an amazing job at accommodating us. From snacks in the fridge to.... more snacks everywhere else. We had a plumbing issue and it was fixed by the time we got back home the first day.

Great place to stay!
This was a very nice place to stay. Denver goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. All the little extras she has is unbelievable. The only down side is one bathroom and going through a bedroom to get to it. But it worked for us.

I cannot express in words how wonderful this property is. The property Manager was off the charts as a wonderful host. The premises was immaculate, they left many items of comfort including food and amenities for guests to enjoy. The host is very professional and accommodating, and has a great personality. This property is conveniently located, whether you’re in town for business or vacation, you will not be disappointed.

Loved It!
We could not have been happier in this lovely apartment. It was spacious, clean, and very generously provisioned, better than many bed and breakfast's we've stayed at. It is perfect for a couple (Access to the only bathroom is through one of the bedrooms.) Having the garage was really important since on-street parking was difficult. Location was very convenient to the beach, restaurants and downtown LB. Finally, Denver was terrific! Thank you for sharing your charming apartment. We hope to return!

Everything Promised and More!
As so many other guests have noted, Denver is the ultimate thoughtful host. The apartment is very well maintained and beautifully furnished. Every appliance and helpful gadget is provided. The small apartment complex is charming and very peaceful. We never heard the neighbors and sleeping with the windows open was a real treat! By the way, the one car garage is a big bonus, particularly when the neighborhood is home for the weekend. The apartment location is ideal! Denver, you have made this property the best HomeAway property we have ever rented. Congratulations!

Long Beach Oasis
Wow! That is the first thing that I said. From the moment we entered the door we were impressed, the king size bed, the over stuffed pillows, the cleanliness and professional look of the decorating through out. Then, you walk into the kitchen and say Wow Again! Immaculate and well stocked with a various selection of snacks and drinks! This is like a 5 Star Hotel only better! Denver even had couple of bottles of wine on the well stocked bar just for us! Oh and the Beach is a five minute walk away! I highly recommend!

the best, we could not believe the hospitality, cleanliness, extras
When we got there we stopped by before the check in time and Denver was cleaning up the place, she told us she would call when it was ready, we took a walk to get something to eat, maybe 45 minutes later she was done and we were in the apt like 2 hrs early. It was amazing, she had all sorts of things for us, cheese and crackers some beer, wine, breakfast foods, snacks, hair dryer, if you forgot anything, she probably thought it and hair gel, shampoos, band aids, keurig, even an espresso machine, wish I knew how to use one lol. this was 100% better than a hotel could ever be. Place was so clean and bright, Denver was very accommodating, the apt has a garage,parking is tight around there. The beach was a very short walk, she had beach chairs, towels umbrella, all for us to use. She offered bicycles if we wanted. If anyone needs a place to stay around this area you need to come here, its a 2 bedroom, but there is also a pullout couch in like the 2nd living room. Only one bathroom could be issue with some people. One thing she could use is a table for eating, even if it was a fold-able one. It really was a wonderful time, If we are ever in this area again I will most definitely look to come here again.

Best Ever
This VRBO has without a doubt, been the best I have ever stayed in. The place itself is very nice, clean, spacious, well located and very comfortable. But what really makes this place is the owner. Denver really goes out of her way to make sure that you have absolutely anything you could possibly ever want. Honestly you could show up with just your clothes and not have to worry about anything from toiletries to snacks to entertainment - anything. Plus she’s very quick to communicate with. Access to the beach and the seaside village are very close to the apartment and the area is very friendly.

Should be the poster for home away
Denver has done an absolute amazing job with this property. Like my title says she should be nominated for the poster of home away. We have stayed at a lot of homes on our trips and this is by far our favorite. Denver greeted us upon our arrival, we had no trouble finding the place. She was so nice to talk with. She gave us lots of ideas on things to do and was available if we had any questions. We had our own garage, which was so nice to have. We could fit our Ford explorer in. The location is close to hip restaurants shopping centers and the beach, with an amazing boardwalk and bike path. Denver is very thoughtful on the amenities that were provided. The condo literally had everything you could possibly think of except for your clothes, from luxurious shampoos and conditioners, toothbrush and paste if you forgot yours, sunblock and any other type of bath or body product needed. We were completely surprised at the snacks galore and treats in the fully stocked kitchen . I didn't even have to go grocery shopping the first night we were there because there were cold water bottles and juices for the kiddo. It was such a thoughtful amenity especially when arriving late with cranky kiddos. The beds were very comfortable as well as the linens. We felt safe in the neighborhood which was quiet. It was a great half way point for us having to go to santa monica for a day and San Diego for another. Thank you so much Denver you are a natural born host. We will definitely book again with you.

Great place to stay
Denver was so helpful and was a great host! When he says he will provide snacks, he really means more food than you could ever imagine, which was a nice surprise and not something I had experienced before at a VRBO. The place is nice, clean, and a couple blocks from the beach. A really nice place to stay in Long Beach.

Great vacay home
From the moment we pulled up, the property manager was very helpful, warm & friendly. This was the first homeaway we stayed in that was so stocked with snacks, beverages, food to cook & even beach gear to use from towels to beach tents. Our stay was very comfortable and included everything we needed from toiletries to extra blankets. Overall, we enjoyed our stay (especially the beach being across the street) & we would stay again!!
