Best VRBO ever
The house has everything you could ever need. Bath supplies, cooking supplies, bedding, etc. I should have brought much less. The house is set up like a U-shape around the pool. This is perfect for two families as one family has one side with a bathroom and bedroom, the other family can have the other side of the U with two bedrooms and a bathroom. The living room is in the middle. The kids took over the living room and the adults enjoyed the beautiful backyard overlooking the pool for most of the time. Universal was 1 hour away and Disney was 40 minutes with traffic. Jean checked in on us multiple times. Everything was absolutely perfect. I recommend this VRBO to everyone!

Family celebration
The property is wonderful. Well kept, attractive and a fully loaded kitchen. Which is great as we like to cook. The backyard and pool were perfect. The kids loved playing in the water while the adults enjoyed the shaded patio. Beds were comfortable, rooms good sized. It was a lovely place to celebrate with a small group of people. Eugenie was a great host - quick to respond and accommodating. I would absolutely stay there again and recommend the place to anyone.

Charming Area, Cute House
We had a very nice stay at this property. Everything was very clean and the property was as described. One thing that was not clear was that there is a single room attached to the house, which was rented to people we weren’t with. The house and this room share the pool area, so it was a bit close. There’s also a lot of stuff in the house… we thought it was things people had left behind from other stays until we came across a prescription bottle from 2004. I’d recommend bringing extension cords for charging devices in the bedrooms (two prong). The bedrooms were very dark at night. Great walking area. The host was very nice and responsive.

Charming Home with Backyard Oasis
This is a spotless house with great retro look, it’s everything you could want in a home base. Within walking distance to restaurants and shops, the house also stocks more amenities than you will ever need! Jean is a wonderful warm host who made us feel right at home, she’s very knowledgeable about Long Beach and has all kinds of recommendations for dining, entertainment , etc. The backyard feels very private and is a lovely sanctuary with sparkling pool. We definitely recommend!

Gathering from 3 points
Family funeral gathering with family members traveling from Australia and New Zealand. With all of our different tastes, everyone agreed that this was a charming, good vibes only, type of house with clean lines and quaint pieces that highlighted its midcentury architecture. Loved learning the history of the home and the host was simply lovely. Wish the weather cooperated in order to enjoy the pool but we plan on returning in the summer.

Great Home Base
Owner was super detailed with everything regarding the stay. House was spotless! We wanted to stay off the beaten path of downtown LA. This house was in a great location. Not too far from LA, Disneyland and other cool attractions on the coast. Very close to shopping, restaurants, bars and grocery stores. Came out with the family from Chicago to see Elton’s final concert in the U.S. at Dodger Stadium and spent a week in the LA area for a much needed vacation. This house was a great home base for our family… great memories made here. Would definitely come back.

Fabulous house
Stayed at this lovely home because it was close to the Rancho Los Cerritos where my daughter got married. It’s a wonderful mid century home decorated with period furniture that is very comfortable and fun and provided a great space to visit with family and out of town guests before the wedding. The kitchen is well equipped and the beds are comfortable. The pool area that would be nice during the summer but too cold for Nov. There’s laundry available which was great since we were there for a week. Although we didn’t meet Jean, she responded quickly to my messages and questions. My daughter accidentally locked her wedding dress is the bedroom and was freaking out. My panicked message to Jean was quickly responded to with where the key would be found so crises was averted. It’s a great neighborhood and close to many restaurants and grocery store aren’t far. I can highly recommend this property and would stay again in a heartbeat. Thank you Jean for offering such a special property for our stay.

Long Beach We'll Be Back
Admittedly we have many people we love in and around Long Beach. We hosted an intimate gathering of 12-15 folks. The Cartagena St location, amenities and 'at home' atmosphere complimented our soiree that allowed all who attended a wonderful time and all who didn't a regret they will not repeat. Thanx to Gene and her crew, we're prepared to reserve again for next year.

The property was just as described. Great space inside with a private pool and garden like space in the back. Quiet, pleasant neighborhood close to our daughter’s home. Jean was a fabulous host, responsive to all or needs, truly wanting us to enjoy her property. Would have loved a heated pool, but new that going in. The granny suite was particularly useful for my daughter and her family to have privacy. All the amenities you would ever need. Jean was very generous to us. Thanks so much for all you did to make our stay comfortable.

Great Location
This property is in a nice, quiet neighborhood. It was so convenient to restaurants and a short drive to the beach. It only took us 35 minutes to get to and from the Burbank airport. It took about an hour to drive to Universal. We also drove to San Diego. It could be less than an hour and a half drive depending on the time of day. There needs and pillows were so comfortable that I slept like a baby. Jean was so nice and even checked in via messages. I highly recommend this property!!!

This property was such a gem. We felt right at home! Everything that you could possibly need was there. We stayed for 5 nights and actually had movie night and home made dinner a couple nights. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were very spacious. Washer and dryer was very nice to have access to. The pool is beautiful and private.

I would definitely stay here again. Thanks Jean!

About the host

Hosted by Eugenie Young

Host profile image
A Philly native, Jean has lived in and around Los Angeles most of her life now.

Jean can give you ideas what to explore and how to best navigate LA's crazy traffic patterns to get there... from the best ocean views in Palos Verdes, the freshest seafood in San Pedro, to the Grammy museum at LA Live or the Getty on the Westside.

A writer by trade, Jean spends most of her time -- well -- writing.

When she's not writing, she likes beach walks, tennis, urban hiking, and exploring the art and architecture of Los Angeles. Especially the many mid-century modern rancho homes built by Cliff May, Edward Killingsworth, and Neutra.

She knows the South Bay, Long Beach, San Pedro and greater Los Angeles like the back of her hand -- so if you want the best Thai in Hollywood, kimchi in K-town, taco truck in Boyle Heights, Ethiopian or Jewish Deli on Fairfax-- she can direct you!

Why they chose this property

Five miles to beaches, 2 miles from LGB airport, 25 minutes to LAX, pool, patio exemplify outdoor living.

What makes this property unique

Walls of glass, sloping ceilings, and mid-century furnishings to match, architect Kenneth Wing and Richard Killingsworth designed this home around a central patio and pool to give a very California feeling of indoor/outdoor living and abundant natural light.
